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.

Overall rating
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual left and both right curves and fair on the sharp left curve.

The low beams created some glare.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the left side of the road and fair on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right and both left curves and fair on the sharp right curve.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on both left curves.
