2021 Toyota Corolla XSE FWD CVT 4dr Car

Model Highlights

The 2021 Toyota Corolla is offered in five trim levels, with several sub trims for various drivetrain configurations. The Base L and LE version of the Corolla comes standard with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine making 139 horsepower, sending that power to the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission, a first for the Corolla. The hybrid version is available on the next level up, the LE. The hybrid Corolla uses a gasoline engine in conjunction with an electric motor to produce very competitive fuel economy numbers. The SE and XSE get a brand new 2.0L engine that makes a robust 169 horsepower, for a more fun driving experience along with slightly better fuel economy than the base 1.8L engine. For those who want the most fun driving experience out of the Corolla, the SE is available with a 6-speed manual transmission. Standard features on the Base Corolla L include LED headlights, taillights and daytime running lights, an integrated backup camera, Wi-Fi, Amazon Alexa Connectivity, Toyota's Lane Tracing Assist system, a 7-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay compatibility and Toyota's Safety Sense 2.0 Suite of safety features. That means all versions of the Corolla come with a pre-collision system, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, Automatic high beams, road sign assistance and a blind spot monitor. Stepping up to the LE adds 16-inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, a bigger 8-inch touch screen and a premium fabric for the seats. The SE comes with sporty looking 18-inch wheels, grey metallic side rocker panels, a rear spoiler, LED accent lighting for the greyed-out grille, a sport mode and of course the bigger, more efficient engine.
