The 2001 Toyota Corolla was one of the last model-year entries of the eighth generation of production for a car recognized as the best-selling vehicle in automotive history (as of 2010). There were three trims for the 2001 Corolla: the base CE, the sporty S and the luxury-oriented LE. The S trim was brand new for that model year, as was an inside trunk release.
Engine, Transmission and Fuel Economy
The 2001 Corolla came with a 1.8-liter, 125 horsepower in-line four-cylinder engine with 125 foot-pounds of torque and a compression ratio of 10 to 1. The standard transmission was a five-speed manual. The CE, however, had the option of a three-speed automatic, while the four-speed automatic was available for the S and LE trims. With a 13-gallon gas tank, the 2001 Corolla got 28 to 31 miles per gallon (mpg) for city driving and 32 to 38 mpg for highway driving, depending on the type of transmission.
Interior
The 2001 Toyota Corolla had driver and passenger airbags, as well as child safety door locks, air conditioning and a stereo system. With standard seating for up to five people, the car averaged 38 inches for headroom and legroom, 53 inches for shoulder room and 51 inches for hip room.
Exterior
The 2001 Toyota Corolla, which was only available as a four-door sedan, had a curb weight range of 2,400 to 2,500 pounds, depending on its trim and transmission. The car measured 174 inches long, 67 inches wide and 55 inches high, with a five-inch ground clearance and a wheelbase of 97 inches. The 2001 Corolla had 14-inch steel wheels, and Toyota added a rear window defogger for the LE trim.
Braking and Handling
With rack-and-pinion steering, the turning diameter for the 2001 Toyota Corolla was 32 feet. The car had independent front and rear suspension with a stabilizer bar and coil springs. The brakes of the 2001 Corolla comprise two ventilated discs, which are designed to help dissipate the heat generated during driving.
Price Range
The original manufacturer's suggested retail prices for the CE, S and LE trims of the 2001 Toyota Corolla were $12,568, $12,793 and $13,383, respectively. As of 2010, Kelley Blue Book estimates that the SE held the best value out of all the 2001 Corolla trims, with a price range value of around $6,700 to $7,200. The LE is next at around $6,400 to $6,900, while the base CE has the lowest range at around $6,100 to $6,500.
