Year to Year Changes
1994 Toyota Corolla:
Corollas gain a new passenger-side airbag as its most notable change for '94. In addition, the passengers' seatbelts now have automatic-locking retractors that cinch the belts tight when they're used with a child safety seat.
1995 Toyota Corolla:
The mainstay 1.8-liter engine, which drops 10 horsepower (to 105) from new tuning is implemented to meet stricter emissions limits in all states. The only other change is new interior fabric for the DX 4-door notchback and 5-door wagon.
1996 Toyota Corolla:
Toyota killed the LE model for pricing reasons. That leaves just the base and DX sedans and 5-door wagons, which carry on with only minor changes. The most obvious is a new smaller grille. Also, the base Corolla's 1.6-liter 4-cylinder engine has been revised to produce lower emissions. As a result, horsepower drops by five to 100, while torque actually increases by five pound-feet to 105.
1997 Toyota Corolla:
The Corolla station wagon is dropped for 1997. Joining the base and DX sedan is a new Classic Edition package, or CE, which includes power windows and locks, air conditioning, and other features.
