This year’s Toyota Corolla is well-sculpted, boasts a larger cabin, and has an efficient engine to conveniently take you from Point A to Point B. The auto professionals at Ira Toyota of Danvers wanted to assist people in Danvers, and around Peabody and Salem, in making an educated decision on their next car.
That’s why we put together this guide to the Toyota Corolla specs. If you’re currently looking for a new midsize sedan to handle your daily commutes, we welcome you to keep reading.
Toyota has three available engines in the Corolla—of which two are gas powered and the other is a hybrid option. All the gas-only models have a Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Shift Mode (CVTi-S), while the hybrid grants you an Electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT).
The entry level L trim is equipped with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder that’s capable of generating up to 139 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. When you opt for the SE or XSE trims, you’ll have access to a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that gives a slight bump in output to 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.
Those who prefer to drive the Corolla Hybrid LE will get a similar 1.8-liter 4-cylinder as in the L trim, but the engine block will be of a lighter aluminum construction. Mated to the ECVT, this setup produces up to 121 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque.

Depending on which engine and transmission options you decide to take home, your fuel economy will be at least up to an EPA-estimated 29 city/36 highway/32 combined MPG (with the SE trim equipped a manual transmission).* The entry level Corolla L offers a higher EPA-estimated 30 city/38 highway/33 combined MPG,* although performance-oriented drivers will appreciate the freedom of manual driving.
When you hop in the cockpit of a 2.0-liter model, you’ll have an EPA-estimated 31 city/40 highway/34 combined MPG, while the Hybrid LE increases fuel efficiency substantially to provide an EPA-estimated 53 city/52 highway/52 combined MPG.*
The updated Corolla can seat up to five people comfortably and has a larger interior space in general. Total passenger volume measures in at 88.6 cubic feet and the trunk area is 13.1 cubic feet in size, which should be plenty for your biweekly grocery run.
When it comes to headroom, everyone is covered thanks to 38.3 inches and 37.1 inches for the first and second rows, respectively. There’s also more than enough shoulder room, coming in at 54.0 inches in the front and 51.7 inches in the back. Of course, you want ample legroom to get around comfortably. Luckily, the Corolla has 42.0 inches for front-row passengers and 34.8 inches for rear-seated passengers.
We hope that you find our guide to the Toyota Corolla specs helpful in the decision on your next midsize sedan. The Corolla has plenty of room and a fuel-efficient engine to easily tackle your commutes in Danvers, and around Peabody and Salem.
