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.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Moderate overlap front: updated test

Rating applies to 2023-24 models

Tested vehicle: 2023 Toyota Corolla LE 4-door

The Toyota Corolla sedan was redesigned for the 2020 model year. Beginning with 2023 models, rear seat belt load limiters and pretensioners were added to improve rear passenger occupant safety.

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.

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.
