Both the 2022 Corolla and the 2022 Elantra come standard with a suite of safety systems. For the Toyota Corolla, this suite is called Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0, which comes with the following technologies:

• Automatic High Beams
• Road Sign Assist
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist

If you’re looking for even greater protection, the Corolla answers the call. Its standard Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is an advanced cruise-control system that maintains a set following speed and distance between you and the car ahead.
