What size battery does a 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla take?

BCI group 35, rated at 356 cold cranking amps from the factory. Group size is a physical dimension and terminal-position standard, so a battery from a different group may not clamp down or may put the terminals on the wrong side.

How many CCA does a 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla need?

At least 356 CCA. Going higher is harmless and helps in cold climates; going lower is how a vehicle that started fine in October stops starting in January.

Does the 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla need an AGM battery?

The factory battery is a conventional flooded type. AGM is a valid upgrade, but never downgrade from AGM to flooded.

Where is the battery on a 2014–2019 Toyota Corolla?

Engine bay, driver side.
