Toyota Corolla ranks eighth among the budget and safest cars. The machine uses materials that perfectly tolerate the climate and operating conditions in our country. Demand for it appeared initially in the CIS due to undemanding maintenance and fuel.

• ABS(anti-lock braking system prevents the pads from locking up during emergency braking);
• EBD (brake force distribution);
• TRC (Traction Control reduces torque when wheels slip on the road surface);

The software monitors the state of the movement and notifies the driver of any deviations in the course of movement.
