1993-1997 Toyota Corolla: Technical Specifications

Toyota's most recent Corolla subcompact is offered in three trim levels; Standard, DX, and LE. Upon their introduction in 1993, the Standard gets an improved 1.6-liter 4-cylinder, which adds an extra three horsepower to the previous model's base engine. The new output is 105 horsepower at 5800 rpm and 105 pound-feet of torque at 4800 rpm. It comes with a 5-speed manual, but can be paired with a 3-speed automatic. The other two Corolla models come with a new 1.8-liter 4-cylinder. It delivers 115 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 115 pound-feet of torque at 4800 rpm. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on all except the LE sedan, which comes with the 4-speed automatic that's optional on the base and DX versions. For '95, the uplevel 1.8-liter engine is retuned to meet stricter emissions standards, resulting in a drop of 10 horsepower to 105 at 5200 rpm and a small rise in torque to 117 pound-feet at 2800 rpm. 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 at 5600 rpm, while torque actually increases by five to 105 pound-feet at 4400 rpm.
