The competence of the new platform shines in the 2020 Toyota Corolla driving experience. The car is solid, quiet and offers a comfortable ride without backing down when pushed. The steering is crisp, yet tends a touch toward the light side, which makes it easy to wheel about. Toyota has refined its continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), giving it a fixed-ratio first gear to take some of the elasticity out of its response when pulling away from a stop. Most drivers won’t be aware of its presence, and those who do notice probably would be better suited to the manual version to more effectively exploit the Corolla’s independent suspension.The Corolla Hybrid does feel down on power compared to its conventional counterparts, but the instantaneous torque from the electric motor gives it acceptable off-the-line acceleration around town. Its handling is closer to the standard L and LE models than the slightly sportier SE and XSE, and its fuel economy is outstanding.The 2.0-liter engine in the SE and XSE is preferable to the tepid 1.8-liter in the other models, as it offers both better fuel economy and more power -- although even with the larger engine, the Corolla is far from heart-poundingly quick. Nor do the Corolla’s sporty trims rise to the level of the lively handling of the Honda Civic. Instead, the 2020 Toyota Corolla delivers what we would characterize as a mainstream small-car driving experience, but does so with greater polish and refinement than before.
SPORT TRIMNo one will confuse a Corolla for a Subaru WRX; however, if you like to shift for yourself and experience the nimbleness of the independent rear suspension, the SE trim level with the 6-speed manual transplants the fun factor from the Corolla Hatchback into the sedan. The fancier XSE comes only with the CVT but retains the more-powerful engine and retuned chassis.HYBRID POWERTRAINSmooth, quiet and comfortable, the Corolla Hybrid is a great choice for those who want near-Prius-level fuel economy (53-mpg city, 52-mpg highway) in an affordable, conventional-looking sedan body. The operation of the hybrid powertrain is seamless, including the stop/start function. The Hybrid’s pricing starts in the middle of the Corolla range.REV MATCHINGThe 6-speed manual transmission, which is exclusive to the Corolla SE, includes a nifty bit of tech more commonly found in sports cars: rev matching. When downshifting, the system automatically blips the throttle, raising engine revs to smooth the transition to the newly selected lower gear. The feature can make even neophyte stick-shift drivers look like accomplished pros.
Toyota describes the Corolla’s interior design philosophy as “sensuous minimalism.” The layout is clean and horizontal with few lines, and the dash is dominated by an infotainment touch screen (7-inch diagonal on the base Corolla L, eight inches on all other models). Apple CarPlay is supported as is Amazon Alexa, but Android Auto is not. The system is easy to use and, helpfully, is flanked by conventional buttons. There are also volume and tuner knobs, and the climate-control system resides below. The instrument cluster houses a digital display.The standard version is 4.2 inches, while a 7-inch configurable screen comes on upper-trim levels. Soft-touch materials can be found on all the upper surfaces, and on the SE and XSE, the front bucket seats are more contoured to provide additional support. Cloth upholstery is standard on the L and LE. The XLE uses SofTex Leatherette, while the SE and XSE combine SofTex with striped Sport fabric inserts.A leather-wrapped steering wheel is included on SE, XSE and XLE trims. The cabin has a light, airy feel to it, although rear-seat accommodations are not as generous as before and trail most rivals. The new Corolla’s materials and level of fit and finish have improved to the point where they’re now akin to what you’d expect in a more premium vehicle.
Like the cabin, the 2020 Toyota Corolla has a contemporary look with a front end dominated by a large trapezoidal mesh grille. The headlight units feature LED daytime running lights with two or three elements per side depending on trim level. The Corolla’s profile is clean, with a soft character line rising from the front wheel arch through the rear deck. From the back, the taillights are connected by a single strip running across the decklid.While the front end shares a family resemblance to the latest Camry and Avalon, the overall shape and look of the Corolla are more on the understated 4-door side of the ledger than a flashy, Euro-inspired sports sedan. The sporty-themed SE and XSE feature larger, 18-inch wheels with gray accents, their own specific grille texture in gray metallic rather than black, a rear spoiler and restyled rocker-panel trim (the latter two items are color-matched in the SE and gray in the XSE). A special Nightshade Edition is based on the SE trim level and includes black wheels and additional black exterior elements.
All Toyota Corolla models come with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver assists. This includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection and automatic emergency braking, lane-departure alert and lane-keep assist, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control (with a stop-and-go feature on CVT models), road-sign assist and lane-tracing assist that helps to keep the vehicle centered in its lane.XLE and XSE models also come with blind-spot monitoring. Sport models (SE and XSE) feature larger 18-inch wheels, contoured sport seats and a rear decklid spoiler. All trim levels come with power windows and door locks, standard 6-speaker audio with Apple CarPlay compatibility, and one or two USB ports. Automatic climate control is included on all models except the base Corolla L trim.
Among the upgrades available on the new Corolla are a Premium JBL sound system with nine speakers, connected navigation with over-the-air updates, a wireless cellphone charging pad, ambient interior lighting, passive keyless entry with push-button start, a premium 7-inch TFT (thin-film transistor) configurable instrument cluster display, SofTex Leatherette upholstery, 16-inch alloy wheels, a power moonroof, adaptive front lighting, color-keyed outside mirrors with turn signals and blind-spot monitor, Wi-Fi hotspot and satellite radio.
The 2020 Toyota Corolla comes with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder in L, LE and XLE trims. This updated engine has a 7-horsepower gain in output and is mated to a CVT. The new 2.0-liter engine offered in the sport versions (SE and XSE), makes 169 horsepower, and offers a choice of a 6-speed manual transmission (in the SE only) or the CVT. The Corolla Hybrid incorporates a 53-kW electric motor with the 1.8-liter engine and a CVT for combined output of 121 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque.1.8-liter inline-4139 horsepower @ 6,100 rpm126 lb-ft of torque @ 3,900 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 30/38 mpg, 29/37 mpg (XLE trim)2.0-liter inline-4169 horsepower @ 6,600 rpm151 lb-ft of torque @ 4,400 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 29/36 mpg (SE manual), 31/40 mpg (SE automatic), 31/38 mpg (XSE)1.8-liter inline-4 + 53-kW electric motor121 horsepower @ 5,200 rpm (combined output)105 lb-ft of torque @ 3,600 rpm (combined output)EPA city/highway fuel economy: 53/52 mpg
The 2020 Toyota Corolla has a base Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $ 20,430 for the L model (including a $ 930 destination charge). Comparably equipped, price increases on the new Corolla range from $ 815 to $ 1,300. The LE is priced from $ 20,880, only $ 450 higher, making it an obvious choice over the base car.The top model with the base 1.8 engine, the XLE, starts at $ 24,880, a significant $ 4,000 jump over the LE. Sport models equipped with the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder start at $ 22,880 for the SE CVT, which represents a $ 2K premium over the equivalent 1.8-liter Corolla LE. The 6-speed-manual SE is $ 23,580 and the additional $ 700 also includes a few extras such as passive keyless entry and a power sunroof. The XSE is $ 26,380 and features content similar to the XLE.The Corolla Hybrid is sold in a single trim level, LE, and is priced in the middle of the range with a sticker starting at $ 23,880. That represents a $ 3,000 premium over the roughly comparable non-hybrid LE.Be sure to check ’s Fair Purchase Price to find out what others in your area are paying for the new Corolla, and rest assured that when the time comes to sell your used Corolla, it will command a high resale value.

The 2014 Corolla Altis nameplate might push you into thinking its another car, but in fact it’s the European version Corolla that has been adapted for the Asian market.
Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki-gaisha or Toyota for short is actually the largest car maker in the entire world, bigger than Ford, GM and anyone else. Their history, like many other car producers, starts with some other product, in this case automatic looms. At some point, in 1933, Kiichiro Toyoda, son to Toyota's founder, decided he wanted to build cars and so he took a trip to Europe to get an idea about gas-powered engines.
The government encouraged such a bold decision mostly because making their own cars would be cheaper and they also needed vehicles for the war with China. Just a year after its foundation in 1933, the Toyota Motor Company created its first engine, the Type A, placed in the Model A1 passenger car and the G1 truck.
During WWII, Toyota was committed to making trucks for the army and only the premature ending of the conflict saved the company's factories in Aichi from a scheduled Allied bomb raid. After the war, Toyota resumed car making but found more success in building trucks and buses than with cars. Still, it didn't give up on cars for good and in 1947 it came up with the Model SA, also known as the Toyopet, a name which later was applied to other models as well.
A little more successful was the Model SF which also had a taxi version but the same 27 horsepower engine as its predecessor. A more powerful model, the RH, which had 48 HP came out shortly after. Production went up rather fast and by 1955, Toyota was turning out 8400 cars a year. That year, Toyota diversified their production, adding the Jeep-like Land Cruiser and the luxury sedan, the Crown.
With numbers growing and with several models under their belt, Toyota now had its eyes set on the international market. The first dealership outside Japan was in America in 1957 an the first plant in Brazil in 1959. An interesting strategy from Toyota ensured that all models were somehow unique to the region where they were produced (they were adapted to the respective market).
The big break for Toyota on the American market came with the 70s when rising gas prices forced local producers to make smaller cars. These were thought of as entry-level and as a consequence lacked in quality of finishings. In contrast, Toyota already had several fuel-efficient models that were also of better quality. The Corolla is the best example in this sense, soon becoming America's favorite compact car.
But as far as the luxury market went, Toyota still had trouble with selling the Crown and the Cressida. At the dawn of the 80s, the entire luxury market in America was entering a downwards slope, with all the other manufacturers finding it difficult to keep up sales, and that's when Toyota came up with Lexus, a new company that would make luxury cars.
By the beginning of the 90s, Toyota vehicles became synonymous with reliability and low-cost maintenance which made them very popular all over the world. A bid for winning over the younger audience was made with the launch of models like the MR2 and the Celica.
Presently, Toyota is at the forefront of the environmental battle, with its successful hybrid model, the Toyota Prius and now announcing a plug-in electric car that will be called Toyota Plug-in HV, which will run on standard electricity powered by a lithium-ion battery pack.
2020 Toyota Corolla Consumer Reviews

"Awesome car.... except for that one thing"
I purchased the 2020 Corolla Hybrid. I'm averaging 53.2 MPG, which is definitely a step up from the Cadillac ATS that I traded in. The car is super sound. Road noise is minimal and engine noise is nearly nonexistent.
The interior is very comfortable and the climate controls and multimedia setup is laid out perfectly with just enough physical button to touchscreen ratio. The drive is smooth and I only felt the big potholes.
My only complaint is that the interior finishes feel a little cheap but most importantly, the entune3.0 interface for audio and gps is absolutely terrible.
Entune constantly reads an error or update required on the touchscreen and the Scout gps app only functions half the time. Android users might want to consider another option for a vehicle, or switch to iPhone.
This is still a fantastic car with only minor inconveniences that I myself can live with.

"Fantastic car for the price"
Love the way the steering feels over my 2017 that I traded in. The steering is lighter and easier. The radio I have a Android you have to download and in Entune 3.0 app to get everything working. Other then that I get 45 mpg highway doing 75 mph with AC on. City 38 mpg. Just love the car. Recommend this car for anyone that whats reliable transportation.

"Nice car"
The car looks nice in the outside to begin with and is extremely good in terms of saving gas money. My issue with it is the radio screen. It asks for update every time I turn the car on, so no app works until I update the system every single time. Second, the map app (scout gps) is terrible and is not up to date, it takes me to closed streets and places with a lot of traffic (something that google maps doesn't). Third, the radio doesn't come with cd player, is not Android friendly, doesn't come with Pandora, the color of the screen doesn't go along with the nice style and color of the car. I also wish the car had more space between front and back seats. Also hate the fact that the radio system (entune) and the internet of the car are limited to just a couple of months and then you also have to start paying to use it. Previous cars had less technology and you didn't have to pay to use the radio, or the aux connection and this car is so new and you have to pay for everything. I've had the car for less than a month and the only good thing about it is that I dont have to put gas on it so often. Also dont like how such a new car doesn't have the light for the mirror blind spot or a small mirror to help with that issue. Almost every car at this point has it and this corolla is so new and doesn't have it. Toyota has a lot to learn to compete against Honda for example. For almost the same price their cars come way more complete.Read less
