Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2019-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2019 Toyota Corolla SE 4-door hatchback
The Toyota Corolla hatchback was redesigned for the 2019 model year. It replaces the Corolla iM hatchback. The Toyota Corolla sedan was redesigned for the 2020 model year (the listed ratings do not apply to the 2019 Corolla sedan). Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2019 Corolla hatchback conducted by Toyota.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt moved from the ideal position on the pelvis onto the abdomen, increasing the risk of abdominal injuries.
