Toyota Corolla Features

Refreshed Styling & Performance

No matter which way you look at it, the all-new 2020 Toyota Corolla evokes emotion through its athletic stance. Although it shares an identical 106.3-inch wheelbase as its predecessor, that’s where the similarities stop. A 0.8-inch lower ride height, shortened front and rear overhangs, and a wider front and rear track combine to make the Corolla more nimble and more engaging than ever before. Standard LED lighting, an aggressive front fascia, and prominent fender flares combine to help the Corolla stand out in a sea of ordinary compact sedans.

A 1.8-liter engine which has received horsepower and fuel efficiency enhancements from the prior generation is standard on L, LE, and XLE trim levels. An all-new 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force direct-injection inline four-cylinder engine that’s physically smaller and lighter gives SE and XSE trims another boost in horsepower. You’ll receive a standard Direct Shift CVT with simulated 10-speed Sequential Shiftmatic steps in addition to a dedicated Sport Mode. If you prefer to change gears yourself, an all-new 6-speed iMT (intelligent manual transmission) is also available and includes downshift rev-matching control similar to many premium sports cars.

Premium Interior

Warm, inviting, and sensuous, are just three ways to describe the interior of the all-new Corolla. Both elegant and sport, the cabin of the Corolla includes cascading character lines to help construct a welcoming environment. Upscale materials such as matte elements, silver accents with piano black, and optional contrast stitching all add to the premium feel. The front seats of SE and XSE grades debut with a new design featuring a specialized shape with a headrest that restles into the shoulder area for the ultimate in comfort. An updated climate control system now includes a unique twin-layer recirculation/fresh air induction unit to reduce fogging and keep all occupants comfortable. Despite the lowered roofline, rear seat headroom and legroom remains generous.

Innovative Tech & Safety Features

Equipped to pair with your digital life, the 2020 Corolla has a comprehensive collection of tech features to keep you entertained and connected. The standard Entune 3.0 Audio includes an available 8-inch touchscreen display, six speakers, Apple CarPlay compatibility, Amazon Alexa, Entune 3.0 App Suite Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect. For an inspired listening experience, the 2020 Corolla can be equipped with an available JBL Audio system featuring nine speakers, a next-gen HID8 amplifier, 6.7-inch door subwoofers, and Clari-Fi technology.

In terms of safety, no other compact sedan is able to match the groundbreaking innovations found on every 2020 Corolla. Every model comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0). Included in this comprehensive collection of safety features are Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert with Steer Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Road Sign Assist. Eight standard airbags and the Toyota Star Safety System round out the comprehensive list of standard safety features on the all-new Corolla.
