DESIGN

Toyota Corolla

When choosing a car, it’s natural to look for something that reflects your personal style. Whether you prefer the sleek Sedan or the versatile Hatchback, the Toyota Corolla offers curb appeal and cabin refinement. With its clean lines, confident stance, and well-designed interior, the Corolla feels modern and timeless, a reflection of lasting style.

Distinctive Exteriors, Shared Attitude

The Corolla Sedan and the Corolla Hatchback command attention with their sculpted silhouettes and standard LED headlights and daytime running lights (DRLs), ensuring you’re seen from afar. The Hatchback leans into a sportier, more aggressive look, highlighted by a vented sport wing that hints at performance. Meanwhile, the Corolla Sedan counters with its own flair: an available sport mesh grille and bold 18-inch graphite alloy wheels that elevate its athletic presence.

A broad palette of exterior colors adds personality to each model. Shared hues include Wind Chill, Ice Cap, Midnight Black, and Classic Silver. The Corolla Sedan brings unique tones like Blueprint, Ruby Flare, and Underground, while the Hatchback stands out with vibrant options such as Blue Crush, Finish Line Red, and Inferno, a fiery orange that turns heads. Both variants also offer striking two-tone combinations featuring a Midnight Black roof.

Inviting Interiors, Lasting Comfort

Step inside the Toyota Corolla Sedan or Hatchback, and you’ll find a cabin designed to welcome you in. Models balance generous passenger space with smart utility, while subtle differences, like the Sedan’s added rear legroom or the Hatchback’s expanded cargo area, let you choose the fit that best suits your lifestyle.

DRIVE

Toyota Corolla

Comfort goes beyond soft seats and climate control. It’s also about how naturally your car responds to every command and how confidently it handles changing road conditions. The Toyota Corolla delivers that, equipping you with everything needed to enjoy mile after seamless mile.

Dynamics That Move You

The Toyota Corolla energizes every drive with its standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, delivering 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a Dynamic-Shift Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), it balances responsive acceleration with efficiency. Up to three Drive Modes—NORMAL, SPORT, and ECO —let you adapt performance to your mood or the moment.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) comes standard, offering a fuel-efficient ride with ride comfort that’s enhanced by the available suspension system. The independent front suspension and multi-link rear suspension ensures a ride that feels smooth, controlled, and confident, even when the road isn’t.

Efficiency in Every Mile

As mentioned, the front-wheel drive system of the Toyota Corolla helps keeps every drive enjoyable while keeping fuel stops to a minimum. Whether you choose the Sedan or the Hatchback, both deliver nearly identical fuel efficiency to help you go farther between fill-ups.

BODY STYLE
EPA-ESTIMATED STANDARD FUEL ECONOMY
Sedan32 city/41 highway MPG*
Hatchback32 city/42 highway MPG*

Already recognized as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV), the Corolla takes efficiency even further with its selectable ECO Mode. When engaged, this feature adjusts throttle response and climate settings to maximize fuel efficiency. The result? An optimized driving range that lets you explore more with fewer stops.
