What Changed
The tenth generation Corolla is slightly wider and has a lower profile than the outgoing model; however, the interior is virtually identical in size. Toyota offers Corolla in Standard, LE, XLE, S, and XRS trim levels. Most models are equipped with an all-new 1.8-liter rated at 132-bhp. A 158-bhp, 2.4L four cylinder is standard on XRS models. The S and XRS also feature a standard body kit with an underbody spoiler, fog lamps, rocker moldings and a rear spoiler. |
