Toyota Corolla Commercial dimensions (2021-on)

The Toyota Corolla Commercial is a van version of the Corolla passenger car, with the bare minimum changed to comply with legal requirements.

This means that the side rear windows have been blanked off, the rear seats and belt fixings have been removed and a loading floor and bulkhead have been installed.

There is no extra space compared to a standard Corolla Touring Sports, and there is not much in the way of clever tricks but it is a solid and secure way to carry longer goods without having to take the step into a full-sized van.

Below are the details of the loading bay dimensions and payload capacity for the Toyota Corolla Commercial which went on sale in 2022. For the full details on how it drives, head to the Toyota Corolla Commercial review.

Toyota Corolla capacity & size

3.5 out of 5 3.5

The Toyota Corolla Commercial only comes in one shape and size. That shape is fundamentally what is left after you take out the seats, fixtures and fittings that are needed in the back of the car. The resultant loading bay is therefore relatively long but fairly low and narrow.

There is a full-height bulkhead that separates the seating area from the back of the vehicle, although it is only solid on the bottom half with the top part a mesh grille, allowing you to see out of the rear window.

The loading floor is fairly basic and rubber for extra grip and will offer more stability than a painted metal surface.

What are the Toyota Corolla Commercial’s exterior dimensions?

This is how big the Toyota Corolla Commercial is on the outside:

  • Toyota Corolla Commercial length: 4,650mm
  • Toyota Corolla Commercial height: 1,460mm
  • Toyota Corolla Commercial width including door mirrors: 1,790mm

The Toyota Corolla Commercial is not a huge van inside, but it is bigger in terms of overall space than many small car-derived vans like the Ford Fiesta. The loading space is low and narrow, though.

What are the Toyota Corolla Commercial load area dimensions?

This is how big the Toyota Corolla Commercial is on the inside:

  • Corolla Commercial maximum load length at floor: 1,558mm
  • Corolla Commercial maximum load height: 682mm
  • Corolla Commercial maximum load width: 1,430mm
  • Corolla Commercial width between wheelarches: 952mm
  • Corolla Commercial load volume: 1,326 litres

Toyota Corolla payload, weight & towing

1.5 out of 5 1.5

Payload is the area where the Corolla Commercial really comes up short against rivals, be they smaller car-derived alternatives or more conventional vans.

There is only the one version, and none of the additional options change it in any way.

  • Toyota Corolla Commercial payload: 425kg

What is the Toyota Corolla Commercial’s towing capacity?

Towing is not the Corolla Commercial’s greatest suit either, as it boasts some poor official maximum figures. A hybrid powertrain isn’t the best for hauling heavy trailers anyway.

  • Toyota Corolla Commercial braked towing capacity: 750kg
  • Toyota Corolla Commercial unbraked towing capacity: 450kg

Note that most vehicles have a 750kg unbraked towing capacity, where the Toyota can only manage this when the trailer has a brake.
