Toyota has a reputation for making safe cars, and the latest Corolla continues that trend. There are eight passenger airbags in the Corolla, and the front two seats are specially designed to reduce the risk (and severity) of whiplash. The driver's side door has an emergency locking system, and there are child locks for the back doors. The cage around the passenger seating area is specially designed to deflect an impact in the event of a crash.

Along with the physical safety features, the Corolla has a suite of tech components to keep the driver and occupants safe. A notable inclusion is the Toyota Safety Sense package. This comprehensive safety package has a pre-collision and pedestrian detection warning sensor. It also has lane departure alert and lane-keep assist. Daytime LED running lights and a radar-operated cruise control, which monitors speed and distance to the car in front, are other standard offerings in the Safety Sense package.
