The Corolla's interior is nothing uncommon for the segment, with plenty of plastics and a simple, ergonomic layout. However, those plastics feel great and are rarely interrupted by hard plastics, and most of the inferior materials aren't on high-traffic touchpoints. The central touchscreen display sits proudly atop the dash, while a small TFT screen aids the driver on all but the top model, where a seven-inch digital information cluster comes standard. Overall, it looks and feels appealing, and there's no cause for concern when it comes to build quality. The seats are comfortable too, and the cabin is spacious, although taller individuals may be slightly happier in the front, where the top trims offer heated seats.

The seats are inoffensive, although lower trims only come with manual adjustment and have fairly flat cushioning. On the SE and XSE variants, you get sports seats that offer more support without invading on comfort, and power adjustment is available on the top trim with eight-way adjustment for the driver and four-way adjustment for the person riding shotgun. Getting in and out is a breeze too, and there's plenty of space for long legs at 42/34.8 inches front/rear. In the driver's seat, the layout is easy to live with, and all-round visibility is decent. Essentially, the Corolla neither blows your mind nor makes sitting in the car unbearable. It's just discreetly good.

Base LE models have cloth upholstery that's available in either Light Gray, Macadamia/Mocha, or Black. SE trims upgrade to a premium fabric in either Moonstone or Black with Red accents. The XSE is more luxurious, and it gets SofTex upholstery with fabric inserts in Black or Black/Red. The Hybrid XLE's SofTex options are Black or Macadamia/Mocha. The Hybrid SE Infrared is limited to Black/Red premium fabric.
The Corolla sedan offers a respectable 13.1 cubic feet of volume in the trunk, even in Hybrid guise, which is enough for all occupants to bring luggage for a weekend away. If you need more space, the rear seats fold in a 60/40 split to allow for longer items. Rivals offer more, however, with the brand-new Civic Sedan being the class leader at 14.8 cubes.
You get a pair of cupholders up front in the cabin, a spot under the dash for your keys and some loose change, and large door pockets. There's also a decent glovebox, but if you get the base L trim, you won't get a pair of cupholders in the back.

Depending on which trim level you opt for, the standard and available features change considerably, but even the base model is well-equipped. It features a 4.2-inch TFT driver info screen, automatic high beams, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning with lane keep assist, radar-guided dynamic cruise control, a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines, and forward collision alert with automatic emergency braking. Automatic climate control is standard. Available higher up in the range are heated wing mirrors with blind-spot helpers, keyless entry, a power sunroof, push-button start, adaptive LED headlights, power-adjustable heated front seats, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
The standard setup in the base LE model comprises an eight-inch touchscreen display to control the infotainment system that feeds a six-speaker audio system. The system boasts wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as Amazon Alexa, SiriusXM satellite radio, a Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth connectivity, and two USB ports. The system works well and is thankfully accompanied by buttons and knobs that make it easier to live with and use. However, the screen looks slightly out of place on the dash and is one of the few hard-edged components of the smooth and curvy interior design.
