Safety is Standard

The Civic has a lot of safety features, but Toyota pulled out all the stops for this one. The Corolla has more standard features than the Civic. Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0—standard on all Corolla models—includes Pre-Collision System with low-light and cyclist Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Edge Detection with Sway Warning System, Automatic High-Beams, Road Sign Assist, and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Also present on the Corolla is the Toyota Star Safety System™, which boasts Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-lock Brake System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology®. That’s not even all the standard safety features, but we think you get the idea.
