The Toyota Corolla tested by Latin NCAP was the Brazil-spec car, which comes with 7 airbags, electronic stability control (ESC) and ISOFIX anchorages as standard. It is also equipped with autonomous emergency braking (AEB) as optional equipment.
The 2020 Corolla secured 5 stars for adult as well as child occupant protection, scoring 29.41 out of a potential 34 points for adult occupant protection and 45 out of a potential 49 points for child occupant protection. According to Latin NCAP, the Corolla’s body shell was found ‘secure’ and ‘capable of withstanding further loadings.’
In Latin NCAP tests, cars go through 3 different crash tests – a front offset crash at 64 km/h, a side-impact crash and a side-pole impact test. The new Corolla fared well in all three tests, with Latin NCAP’s report endorses sufficient protection for adult occupants under all circumstances.
