The best-selling car in history—the people’s champ that’s been around since 1966. It’s the definition of reliable, practical transportation. From the rear-drive KE70 to the modern front-drive E210, the Corolla is the car that just works. It’s the automotive equivalent of a hammer.
The Corolla has been through 12 generations in this period. 1980-1983 (E70): Rear-drive, 1.3L 2T-C or 1.6L 4A-C I4 (75 hp), 4-speed manual or 3-speed auto. 1984-1987 (E80): Front-drive, 1.6L 4A-C (90 hp) or 1.8L 1C diesel, 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 1988-1991 (E90): Front-drive, 1.6L 4A-FE (102 hp) or 1.8L 7A-FE (115 hp), 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 1992-1997 (E100): Front-drive, 1.6L 4A-FE (105 hp) or 1.8L 7A-FE (115 hp), 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 1998-2002 (E110): Front-drive, 1.8L 1ZZ-FE (120 hp), 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 2003-2008 (E120): Front-drive, 1.8L 1ZZ-FE (130 hp) or 1.8L 2ZZ-GE (180 hp in XRS), 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 2009-2013 (E140): Front-drive, 1.8L 2ZR-FE (132 hp), 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto. 2014-2019 (E170): Front-drive, 1.8L 2ZR-FE (140 hp), 6-speed manual or CVT. 2020-2026 (E210): Front-drive, 2.0L 2ZR-FAE (169 hp) or 2.0L Dynamic Force (189 hp), CVT or 6-speed manual.
The Corolla is the gold standard of reliability. The 1ZZ-FE, 2ZZ-GE, and 2ZR-FE engines are bulletproof—chain-driven, simple, and long-lasting. The manuals are great. The 4-speed auto is reliable. The CVT is good if maintained. The Corolla will easily go 300,000 miles with basic maintenance. It’s one of the most reliable cars ever built.
