Does Toyota Corolla have front and back brakes?

Toyota Corolla Brakes
The Toyota Corolla has both front and back brakes. The front brakes consist of two front disc brakes, which are considered the best types of brakes and are used in front because the Corolla is a front-wheel drive vehicle. The back brakes are of the drum style, also known as “dumb style” brakes.
Additionally, the parking brake is attached to the back brakes.
It is important to note that the front brake pads on a Toyota Corolla typically wear down slower compared to the rear brake pads due to the nature of rear-wheel drive cars .
If you need to replace the brake pads on your Toyota Corolla, it is recommended to have both the front and rear brake pads replaced at the same time. The cost for parts can range from $100-$200 per axle, and labor charges can range from $80-$100.
