The Corolla Cross is Not Covered Here Today

If you're shopping for a Corolla, you may be wondering if it's the right vehicle for you. The Corolla Cross is a different model from what we'll be covering today. Additionally, there's also the GR Corolla to consider, but that's not part of our discussion here. Let's get started with the standard Corolla.

Back to the Standard Corolla

We have two body styles available - a sedan and a hatchback - as well as two powertrains: a front-wheel drive only 2-liter four-cylinder engine or a hybrid model that can be had with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. Both powertrains are offered with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) only, as the six-speed manual is no longer an option on the standard Corolla. The 2-liter engine produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque, while the hybrid model offers 138 horsepower.

Fuel Efficiency

All versions of the Corolla are pretty fuel-efficient. For example, the front-wheel drive hybrid can return 50 miles per gallon in the city, while the all-wheel drive hybrid can achieve 47 miles per gallon in the city. On the highway, the 2-liter engine sedan or hatchback can reach as much as 41 miles per gallon, and the 2-liter engine sedan can also reach up to 42 miles per gallon with the hatchback.

Corolla LE: The Base Model

The Corolla LE is our starting point for this model. It's available with both the 2-liter gas engine and the hybrid powertrain. The base model comes with a set of 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers, a black grille, power-adjustable side mirrors, and LED daytime running lamps up front. Inside, there's fabric trim on the seats, a 4.2-inch color information display in the gauge cluster, and two USBC ports, both front and rear.

Technology and Safety Features

Every version of the Corolla comes with an 8-inch center touchscreen that offers Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. The standard audio system is a simple six-speaker setup. Additionally, all Corollas come with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 Suite of safety features.

Pricing: Starting at $22,795

The starting price of a 2023 Corolla LE is $22,795 for the front-wheel drive hybrid model and $24,145 for the all-wheel drive hybrid model.

Corolla SC: A Great Trim Level

Next up is the Corolla SC. This trim level offers more standard features without adding too much to the bottom line. The sedan is available with either powertrain choice, but the hatchback is only available with the gas engine. Some great standard features include leather on the steering wheels, 18-inch wheels instead of the 16-inch Alloys from the LE, and better suspension tuning.

Pricing: Starting at $25,235 for the Sedan

The starting price of a 2023 Corolla SC sedan is $25,235. The hatchback model starts at $24,050.

Corolla Hybrid XLE: A Hybird Model

Finally, we have the Corolla hybrid XLE. This trim level is available only as a hybrid and comes with slightly nicer interior features but doesn't offer an upgraded sound system as standard, although it can be added as an option. The starting price of a 2023 Corolla Hybrid XLE is $27,945.

Which One Should You Buy?

When it comes to choosing the right Corolla for you, money is best spent on the Corolla SC. You get a good-looking set of wheels and comfortable seats, and every version already has the same screen and wireless phone connectivity as it is. If you want, you can upgrade to the nicer sound system too. However, if heated seats are a must-have feature for you, then the XSE might be the better choice.

In Conclusion:

The Toyota Corolla is a reliable and fuel-efficient vehicle that comes in several different trims. The LE is our starting point, offering a good balance of features and price. The SC offers more standard features without breaking the bank, while the hybrid XLE provides an eco-friendly option with a nicer interior. When choosing the right Corolla for you, consider your priorities and budget to make the best decision.
