What Changed
The 11th generation Corolla debuts for the 2014 model year. Aggressive styling is wrapped around a body that is about 4 inches longer in wheelbase and overall length. Four trim levels are offered ranging from the entry-level L to the range topping S. A new LE Eco model adds variable valve timing to the standard 1.8l four-cylinder increasing horsepower and fuel economy. Most models equip a CVT transmission, but the entry-level model retains a four-speed automatic. A six-speed manual is available on the L and S trim level.
