What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2024 Toyota Corolla 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 5 comparable 2024 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 10.5% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $1,750, within $0 of the $1,750 typical for the class — roughly $8,750 over five years.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 254 grams per mile — about 3.8 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
