Toyota Corolla 2024WHAT’S NEW, EXTERIOR, INTERIOR AND DRIVING IMPRESSIONS

DESIGN:

Exterior Design:

Exterior styling is purposeful yet Sporty, the low wide, and aggressive design, a creative performance aesthetic with unique details subtly separating each grade. LE arrives with a host of upscale features, including available eye, catching 16-inch alloy wheels. Meanwhile, SE and XSE step up in visual appeal with graphite, colored 18-inch alloy wheels, and an integrated dark gray accent, but whichever Corolla proves the perfect fit LED exterior lighting is standard, including headlights, tail lights, and daytime running lights for 2024 the nightshade edition joins the lineup and is based on the SE and hybrid SE grades. This distinctly styled variant features bold exterior details, like blacked out, badging black painted mirror, black painted rear spoiler, and bronze-finished 18-inch alloy wheels for a striking contrast.

Interior Design:

Corolla has Rear-seat legroom which makes it more comfortable than its competitive cars such as Civic or Elantra. It also has good outward visibility and plenty of interior storage. Inside, Corolla's modern cockpit offers high gloss surfaces, and soft touch materials, creating that perfect blend of practical and premium. Corolla's interior is stylish and doesn’t sacrifice usability with seating for five, while sports seats on the SE and XSE grades provide added support for when the road gets twisty, on the other hand, standard automatic, climate control, ensures the cabin is set to the perfect temperature while the available smart key system makes entering, exiting and starting the vehicle effortlessly easy. And let’s not forget the trunk can hold more than enough cargo for your next epic road trip even before flipping down the standard 6040 split fall-down rear seats. It offers a generous 371-liter trunk volume that can fit all your cargo and luggage.

PERFORMANCE & TRANSMISSION:

As before, the Corolla's standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that gives 169 horsepower, and 151 pound-feet of torque with an innovative, physical, first launch gear for a sportier, more engaging driving experience. It's connected to a CVT automatic and front-wheel-drive system; the six-speed manual transmission is no longer available. With 169 hp and 151 lb-ft on tap, the Corolla can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 12 seconds, according to independent testers.

FUEL CONSUMPTION:

Fuel economy should rate at 19.6 km/L city/highway depending on specification according to official NRC ratings. The hybrid, however, offers more spirit. While not exactly swift, it uses an electric 'first gear' for initial acceleration before handing over power to the CVT, producing a nice snap from a standstill. All-wheel-drive models also exhibit less understeer and feel more secure in inclement weather.

TECHNOLOGY:

Corolla tech story highlights the latest in connectivity. This starts with a standard, 4.2-inch multi-information display or available, 7-inch fully digital gauge cluster, which puts safety alerts and other important details right in the driver’s line of sight. Moreover, Corolla's audio multimedia platform includes an 8-inch touchscreen and standard wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to the apps on the iPhone, including Maps messages, podcasts, and music subscriptions. In addition, wireless Android auto compatibility makes it easy to stay connected to Android devices and access various apps and services from Google, including YouTube Music and Google Maps. Additionally, an available JBL premium audio system pumps out road trip tunes in vivid clarity select Corolla grades can also be linked with trials to Toyota's available connected services, including remote, connect, safety, connect service, connect and Wi-Fi connect. There’s also the available Drive connect, which includes cloud, navigation, destination assist, and intelligent assist functionality when these advanced features are considered. Toyota's latest software includes a virtual assistant that awakens with a phrase (‘Hey, Toyota’) and responds to voice commands to adjust audio, change interior temperature, and summon driving directions, among other functions. It's a nice touch typically found in pricier cars.

SAFETY & DRIVER-ASSISTANCE FEATURES:

Beyond comfort, Corolla's on-board technology puts a big emphasis on safety. Every Toyota Corolla comes with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 which includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams full speed range, dynamic radar, cruise control lane tracing assist, road sign assist, and proactive driving assist, Front and rear parking sensors are optional, as is adaptive front lighting that steers the headlight beams in the direction of the turn. Toyota includes Toyota's signature safety system for even more peace of mind, which includes the available blind spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, bringing more convenience to every journey. The 2024 Toyota Corolla has earned top marks in both government and insurance industry crash-testing. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the Corolla a top five-star overall safety rating, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) named the 2023 Corolla a Top Safety Pick, one of its highest designations.

TOYOTA COROLLA VS THE COMPETITORS:

The 2024 Toyota Corolla's combination of quality, reliability, and value makes it one of today's most popular cars. Sporty styling gives it the youthful character typical of this class and recent tech upgrades give it the connectivity to keep pace with its rivals. It also offers an impressive panel of standard and optional safety features. The Corolla isn't particularly inspiring to drive, though. It's not as sharp or responsive as the Honda Civic Sport or Mazda 3. This won't matter to many people who are willing to rent, but it's worth noting the alternatives if you'd like a little more zest from your compact sedan. The Corolla also has less trunk space than nearly all of its competitors.

SOME CHALLENGES YOU MIGHT FIND:

The 2024 Toyota Corolla does come with a set of drawbacks. Acceleration is on the slower side, making it less impressive compared to some competitors in its class. On the highway, the abundance of road noise might dampen the overall driving experience, contributing to a less serene ride. Additionally, the rear headroom is somewhat limited compared to other rivals in the same category, which could be a concern for passengers seeking more space. Rear ventilation is another aspect that falls short, potentially impacting the overall comfort, especially during longer drives. When it comes to driving dynamics, some users may find it a bit snooze-worthy, lacking the excitement and engagement that enthusiasts might seek. Lastly, the four-cylinder engine's coarse sound might be noticeable and detract from the overall refinement of the driving experience. Despite these cons, the Toyota Corolla 2024 does have its merits, and these drawbacks should be considered alongside its positive features when making a purchase decision.
