2015 Toyota?Corolla?S Sedan
The 2015 Corolla?S is the sport-trimmed version of Toyota’s compact sedan, offering the proven reliability of the Corolla platform with added style cues, sport-tuned details and enhanced exterior/interior touches. It’s a smart choice for a buyer seeking dependable transportation with a bit more character than a base model.
Engine & Performance
Engine: 1.8?L inline-4 with Dual?VVT-i (132?hp @ 6,000?rpm) and ~128?lb-ft torque. Kbb.com+2auto123.com+2
Transmission: Front-wheel drive (FWD); choices include a CVT (“CVTi-S”) with Sport mode and paddle shifters (on the S trim) and a 6-speed manual in some markets. auto123.com+1
Fuel Economy: Around 29?mpg city / 37?mpg highway for many S-trim models. Combined about 32?mpg. Edmunds+1
The Corolla?S offers the same reliable engine as the standard Corolla but adds sport-trim tuning (especially of the suspension and styling) to deliver a slightly more engaging drive.
Exterior Features
Styling: Unique to the S trim: sport-tuned suspension, distinctive 17-inch alloy wheels (in S Premium/optional packages), piano-black front grille, integrated rear spoiler, chrome-tipped exhaust (on certain S models). Annenberg Media+1
Body Style: 4-door sedan, seating for 5.
Wheels/Tires: S trim gear includes larger wheels (e.g., 17” with lower profile tires) compared to base trims. Toyota USA Newsroom
Overall, the S trim gives the Corolla a sportier exterior presence while maintaining its compact sedan usability.
Interior Features
Seating Capacity: 5 passengers. Edmunds
Materials & Trim: Sport front seats with bolstering in many S models, leather-wrapped steering wheel (depending on package), unique S badging, sport-oriented gauge cluster with M-mode display on CVT versions. Annenberg Media+1
Convenience/Tech: Standard features across the Corolla line include Bluetooth® audio/phone, USB/Aux inputs, 6-speaker audio in many units, rearview camera in many markets. In the S trim you’ll find the sport touches plus potential upgrades. Miller Toyota
The interior blends Corolla’s longstanding reputation for durability with added personality and comfort touches in the S trim.
Safety Features
Standard safety features include Toyota’s “Star Safety System™” which integrates Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Brakes (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, and Smart Stop Technology. Toyota USA Newsroom+1
Additional features may include rearview camera, and depending on region or option packages, upgraded infotainment or driver aides.
Safety is quite solid for this class, with the benefit of Toyota’s long-standing focus on reliability and safety systems.
Comfort & Convenience
The S trim provides a sportier feel while retaining everyday usability: good visibility, compact size for urban/suburban use, and manageable running costs.
Ownership costs tend to be lower than many sport-oriented sedans, thanks to the Corolla’s simpler architecture and broad parts/service availability.
Being a sport-trim, the ride may be slightly firmer in higher-option versions (especially if fitted with the larger wheels/low-profile tires) versus the base trims—something to consider if you prioritize comfort over sport feel.
Dimensions & Cargo
Cargo Capacity: ~13.0?cubic feet of trunk space as per spec-sheets. Kbb.com
Overall Size: The car remains in the compact sedan class—easy to maneuver, park and drive in city/suburban settings, yet offering usable cabin and trunk space.
Turning Circle / Curb Weight: Specified curb weight around ~2,865?lbs for the S trim. Kbb.com+1
The size and cargo space make it practical for daily use, commuting and small-family tasks.
Driving Experience
The 2015 Corolla?S provides a driving experience that leans toward reliable, efficient and reasonably engaging for its class. The sport suspension, 17” wheels (in some S models), and sport-trim interior/exterior enhance the feel over standard trims. However, the 132?hp engine isn’t high-performance—acceleration is modest—but that is balanced by excellent fuel economy and usability. As one owner noted:
“I went from an … 2015 Corolla?S … I always felt the 2015 was a pretty slow car with only 132hp but … great on gas mileage.” Reddit
In summary: you get reliable, daily-friendly performance with a sporty flavor—not a sports car, but a reliable sport-oriented compact sedan.
Overall Impressions
The 2015 Toyota?Corolla?S is an excellent value for buyers wanting the long-term reliability and low ownership cost of a Corolla, with added sporty aesthetics and trim upgrades. It is ideal for commuting, daily driving, small families or anyone who wants dependable transportation with a bit more style.
