2024 Toyota Corolla

The 2024 Corolla sedan now comes in four trim levels: LE, SE, Nightshade, and XSE. Pricing for the Corolla starts at $22,995 including destination and tops out at $28,095 for the XSE. The Corolla hatchback is available in Nightshade, SE, and XSE trims, pricing from $25,450 to $27,750.

The hatchback-only GR Corolla comes in three trims: Core, Circuit Edition, and Morizo Edition. Toyota hasn't released pricing yet, but we expect the 2024 GR series to range from $38,000 to $52,000.

The regular Corolla carries a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that develops 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) sends power to the front wheels.

The GR Corolla runs with a 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo with 300 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The Morizo Edition receives a high-output version with 295 lb-ft of torque. Every GR Corolla features all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission — an automatic isn't offered.

The 2.0-liter engine that powers most Corollas is EPA-rated at 32 miles per gallon city, 41 mpg highway, and 35 combined. The GR, which requires premium gas, delivers 21/28/24 mpg (city/highway/combined).

At 182.3 inches in length, the Corolla sedan is about 10 inches longer than the hatchback. The sedan offers 34.8 inches of rear legroom versus just 29.9 inches for the hatchback. Cargo space is the reverse. The sedan's trunk holds 13.1 cubic feet while the hatchback can accommodate 17.8 cubic feet behind the rear seat and 23 cubic feet with it folded. Both body styles measure 70.1 inches wide.

The GR Corolla has a wider track and enlarged fenders, so the width increases to 72.8 inches. The GR Morizo Edition dispenses with the rear seat altogether to reduce weight and allow an extra set of tires to fit inside on race day.

Every 2024 Corolla comes out of the box fully equipped with driver assistance features. Standard fare includes adaptive cruise control with line-centering, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, road sign assist, and automatic emergency braking. Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert is available on the LE, SE, and Nightshade in trim-specific option packages — and standard on all subsequent trims.

The 2024 Corolla starts out with an 8-inch touchscreen, six speakers, four USB ports, satellite and HD radio, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Wireless charging is standard starting with the XSE and is available in option packages for the LE, SE, and Nightshade. The SE, Nightshade, and XSE can be equipped with a 9-speaker JBL sound system for $600. (It's standard on the XSE hatchback only).

As for the GR Corolla, wireless charging and the JBL system are available together on the Core for about $800. These items are standard on the Circuit Edition and Morizo Edition.
