2014 Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla has been one of the acknowledged baby sedans in the U.S. bazaar for decades, and its penny-pinching, trouble-free acceptability is what's buoyed that. Meanwhile used Japanese cars dealer, the small-car acreage has acquired rapidly, with added alluring looks, endless of in-car technology, and bluff handling. Surprisingly, Toyota has stepped out of its abundance area and stepped up; with the all-new 2014 Corolla, it's accomplishing added than just punching in at the clock—with a thoroughly competent, even adorable bunched auto you ability in fact accept for affidavit added than the bean-counting basal line.

Throughout the all-new 2014 Toyota Corolla, you'll acquisition austere change, including improvements in styling, comfort, and features. A lot of importantly, perhaps, this able-bodied archetypal looks assertive to afford some of its stolid, bourgeois actualization in favor of something added aesthetically ambrosial and lively.

Toyota calls the Corolla's new attending added athletic, and we absolutely will not altercate with that. The automaker credibility to ‘Iconic Dynamism’ as the bulk concept, and that ability be the amplitude as we see $.25 and pieces from added accepted small-car models in the Corolla's architecture to alarm it iconic. In any case, it's geared this time for the Gen Y demographic—people who are just clearing down to accept kids, or searching for a basal auto for a growing family. Proportions are a big allotment of what makes the new Corolla's architecture successful. The new Corolla is about three inches best than the antecedent version, with about four inches of added wheelbase—altogether agreement the auto further out to the corners and giving the Corolla a far sportier stance. And LED headlamps and active lamps absolutely put a nice finishing blow on the focused, abandoned design.

Sporty Corolla S models angle distinct; they get a blacked-out grille in foreground with fog lamps crabbed a added advancing airdam. There’s aswell an chip rear addle-brain that visually lifts the appendage and sharpens the attending a bit.

Under the awning of the Corolla you'll acquisition one of two 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines. The L, LE, and S trim Corolla's are powered by a abject 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 132 application and 128 pound-feet of torque. Those gluttonous best ammunition ability will wish the LE Eco trim with its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine featuring Valvematic, which has a broader ambit of continuously capricious valve timing and increases ammunition abridgement and engine achievement by added than 5 percent to 140-horsepower. While the abject Corolla soldiers on with either a six-speed chiral manual or an alternative four-speed automated transmission, the LE, S, and LE Eco models all use a continuously capricious manual (CVT). It operates smoothly, with a reassuring, about beeline feel during ablaze and abstinent acceleration, while aspersing the 'drone' that plagues CVTs in baby cars. S models accept the CVT, but it pretends it's an automatic, with seven apish accessory ratios and steering-wheel paddle-shifters. The Corolla S archetypal is the one you should aces if you adore active (if, paradoxically, you're a active enthusiast even because a Corolla); it gets a abeyance tune that's appreciably added buttoned-down than the added models—think able and well-damped, while the added models are still added adaptable and pillowy. Forth with that, the S offers a Action button that sharpens burke acknowledgment and firms up the steering; altogether it's the archetypal in the calendar that may accept you dispatch out and blockage the archetypal brand in disbelief.
Inside the Corolla is added bourgeois than that exoteric ability suggest; yet it takes a footfall advanced with bigger abstracts and a two-tier architecture that finer pushes the corners of the berth outward, for an actual consequence of added space. The dashboard is now a soft-touch material, while pinstriped accents are broadcast about the berth on the dashboard and aperture panels. S models instead accept seats that amalgamate leather-like Softex bolsters with coarse, color-toned fabrics in between.

What affairs most, though, is that a about four-inch accretion in wheelbase about anon translates to added back-seat space. Foreground seats accept been improved, with added adaptability and best basal cushions, and the S seats accept able ancillary bolsters that battling those in some action sedans. In back, there's now affluence of legroom for adults, although allowance charcoal limited. A ample block with a low, collapsed floor, as able-bodied as flip-forward rear seatbacks in all models, altogether bulk to a actual advantageous baby sedan—one that would accept been advised mid-size just a few archetypal years ago.

On the assurance front, the 2014 Corolla has eight accepted airbags forth with Toyota's Star Assurance system, which includes car adherence control, absorption control, anti-lock braking system, cyberbanking brake-force distribution, and anchor assist. There's aswell Toyota's accepted Acute Stop Technology brake-override system.

Feature-wise, the big account is that Toyota is dispatch up its infotainment bold the Corolla, and bringing it out of the aphotic ages with the availability of Toyota's latest Entune infotainment system, featuring aeronautics and apps in some models.

The Corolla is offered in four trim levels: L, LE, S, and a new LE Eco model. The abject L archetypal actualization accepted LED low-beam headlights with LED daytime active lights, in-glass AM/FM antenna, color-keyed alfresco aperture handles, color-keyed alfresco mirrors, 60/40 breach fold-down rear seat, ability locks, doors, and mirrors, forth with air conditioning, Bluetooth, and eight airbags. Depending on the trim level, accessible options cover a acute key arrangement with advance button start, automated altitude control, leather-trimmed angle and scope three-spoke council caster with paddle shifters and audio controls, multi-information display, Bluetooth hands-free buzz voice-command controls, and SofTex-trimmed acrimonious foreground seats.

In all, one affair the Corolla doesn't devious abroad from is its low appraisement and top value. A absolutely loaded LE still runs just $22,570, and includes a moonroof and about all of those mentioned features. The frugality's still there--just with a little added flair.
