Fleet Auto News recently took the 2020 Corolla Ascent Sport for a drive and found the interior to be cavernous. So we asked the question, has the Corolla gotten bigger over the years? The answer is, YES, as you can see in the table below.
They have stretched the overall dimensions compared to the 1983 model, but it’s the interior design that has created so much room for the driver and passenger to make small cars popular with fleets and novated lease buyers.
