Toyota Corolla Ground Clearance by Year

Toyota Corolla ground clearance ranges from 4.7 to 6.7 inches across the catalog years covered here. The range reflects differences among model years and configurations, so it is not a single rating that applies to every Corolla. This page covers the 1999-2022 catalog years; use the entry for your specific year and trim when comparing clearance.

Read the figures as the listed ground-clearance measurements, in inches. The low and high ends describe variation across the catalog rather than a guaranteed measurement for any particular vehicle. The available facts do not identify which years or trims correspond to each figure, or explain how clearance changes by engine, so do not assume a value based on those details. If you need the exact clearance for your Corolla, confirm it in the owner's manual or with vehicle-specific information.

Stored ground clearance by year. Missing years have no clearance figure in this extract.

The largest stored change occurs between 2019 and 2020, when ground clearance decreases.
