This is the all new 12th generation Toyota Corolla. Building on over 50 years of sales in the US, the 2020 Corolla Sedan joins Corolla Hatchback as one of the latest vehicles to be enhanced by the Toyota New Global Architecture, or TNGA. This new platform helps enhance Corolla's fun-to-drive charisma, while still maintaining the model's legendary value and dependability. Classic trim names return for 2020, including the modern L, LE, and XLE, and the sporty SE and XSE grades, while the Corolla Hybrid makes a big debut with a hybrid LE grade. And more than ever before, Corolla's different flavors mean genuinely different vehicles, with three distinct personalities, features, and specifications for each trim line. Let's take a closer look at some details.
Exteior performance:
Outside, the 2020 Corolla stands out with not just its bold new character lines,but also a host of details unique to each model.These include a range of stylish wheels,including eye-grabbing 18-inch alloy wheels on Sport grades,and unique front and rear styling and trim accents that help to further differentiate the various members of the Corolla family.For the SE and XSE grades,these include integrated dark gray accents on the 18-inch alloy wheels, as well as the front, rear, and side rocker panels.Regardless of trim, all Corolla models also include standard LED exterior lighting,including headlights, taillights,and Daytime Running Lights.These powerful new looks go hand in hand with the performance to match,for the first time, Corolla's multiple power trains offer truly distinct personalities.For L grades,an enhanced 1.8 liter engine pushes 139 horsepower through a continuously variable transmission.Meanwhile, Sport grades now utilize the punchy 2.0 Dynamic Force engine that recently debuted in the Corolla Hatchback. It puts out an impressive 169 horsepower and can be paired with either the new Dynamic Shift continuously variable transmission that features a physical first launch gear, paddle shifters,and a sport mode, or you can get a six-speed intelligent Manual Transmissions with an "iMT" mode that allows for dynamic rev-matching downshift technology.Lastly, the new Corolla Hybrid with an electrify gas powertrain allows drivers
to go farther and enjoy fewer stops at the pump,thanks in part to its sleek sedan styling,which helps maximize efficiency and has seriously impressive EPA estimates of up to 53 miles per gallon in the city,and a driving range of up to 593 miles on one tank of fuel.Regardless of drivetrain, all 2020 Corolla models feature disc brakes at all four corners and a fully independent suspension design, with MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link layout in the rear to help keep the vehicle planted in the turns and comfortable through the bumps.Combine this with the standard Active Cornering system,
and a sprightly curb weight,and it's no surprise this new Corolla not only loves road trips but also finding the back-way home.
