Inside, the 2019 Toyota Corolla is basic and straightforward, which is great in every case. Toyota's upstanding dashboard is not as off-putting, yet it makes for an uncommon driving position. The most recent model of the Corolla may set a benchmark but rather it has embraced an appealing structure highlighting quality plastics and soft-touch materials. The Base-model Corollas have a basic cabin layout with apt comfort or convenience features.
Regardless of the vehicle's low roofline, there is a lot of inside space, front, and back, and in addition loads of space for payload. The interior is available in 3 upholstery color options but most most of the creature comforts are available only on higher trims. The front seats are quite supportive yet comfortable over a long distance. The trunk has a fairly wide opening and a broad floor ahead of the rear wheel arches with a 13.0 cubic feet of cargo volume.

The 2019 Corolla offers a very spacious seating even for the rear seat passengers and is the best in the segment. The Civic is next in line while both the Mazda 3 and Elantra offer similar interior space. The Civic has the largest trunk and while both Corolla and Mazda 3 have least cargo volume to offer.
The Toyota Corolla offers a 6.1-inch touchscreen as standard with Bluetooth connectivity and voice command.
A standard 6.1-inch touchscreen for infotainment can be upgraded to a 7.0-inch unit on higher trims. The infotainment screen is surrounded by touch-sensitive buttons, and there are knobs for volume and tuning; additional infotainment controls are on the steering wheel. In the XSE, the integrated navigation worked well, and turn-by-turn directions also appeared in the gauge cluster.
