2017 Toyota Corolla Engine Performance
Underneath the hood of this stylish sedan is a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine. This engine is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which boosts efficiency while providing a smooth acceleration without a rocky jump in power. This sedan is capable of reaching 132 horsepower with 128 lb-ft of torque, while the CVT allows for the Toyota Corolla to get an EPA-estimated 28/36 city/highway MPG.*
Outside of the standard on the majority of trims, the SE level offers a 6-speed manual transmission for those of you who like a little more control over your vehicle maneuvering.
Interior Technology & Entertainment
The 2017 Toyota Corolla is outfitted with the Entune™ Audio Plus system. This system includes a 7-inch high-resolution touchscreen display where you can access your media to play through the 6-speaker sound system. This system includes a variety of media options, like the radio, CD player, HD Radio™, and even SiriusXM® All Access, which is offered with a 3-month trial subscription.
This system also features advanced voice recognition, which allows you to access your media or phonebook contacts by using just your voice. You can even use this system to put in your destination for the equipped navigation system. This system also displays your GPS location on the 7-inch screen while providing you with turn-by-turn directions to your destination. HD Radio™ Traffic and Weather gives you updates in case you need to alter your course.
Comfort & Convenience
While safety and power are arguably the most important aspects of a vehicle, the comfort and convenience features really complete the driving experience. Notable conveniences that come standard with the 2017 Toyota Corolla include a backup camera, audio and cruise controls on the steering wheel, climate control, interior air filtration, heated mirrors, Adaptive Cruise Control, and electric power steering.
Additionally, you’ll find 6-way manual driver seat adjustments, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, and 4-way manual passenger seat adjustments for your comfort.
Safety Features
This vehicle features Toyota Safety Sense™, which includes a number of different driver-assistive technology systems available at the base level. The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection will automatically apply brake pressure to help you avoid a collision. Lane Departure Alert uses sensors to let you know when your vehicle is drifting from your intended path. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control is a helpful system for highway driving. It lets you set a speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, and it’ll apply brake pressure if the vehicle in front of you begins to slow down.
When it comes to keeping you and your passenger protected during a collision, the Toyota Corolla has your back. The advanced airbags will actively adjust the inflation pressure to correspond to the force of impact. This vehicle features eight airbags, including front airbags, side airbags, side curtain airbags, and a driver’s knee airbag for additional protection.
Toyota Corolla Trim Close-Up
There are seven trim levels of the 2017 Toyota Corolla available, each of which offers a unique bundle of features and equipment. Since we’ve covered the standard Toyota Corolla L’s features and specs in pretty close detail above, we’re going to take a look at what the LE and up have to offer.
LE
The Toyota Corolla LE adds several enticing systems onto the L’s standard features, including Entune™ Audio with a 6.1-inch touchscreen display where you can access a new music source for listening. An integrated backup camera with projected path guidelines allows you to pull out and park easier. This trim also comes with automatic climate control, enabling a cozy drive achieved through a “set it and forget it” mechanism that adjusts the interior temperature, regardless of the weather outside.
LE Eco
Instantly recognizable from its sporty rear spoiler and piano black grille, and hard to forget once you see its unbeatable estimates at the pump, the 2017 Toyota Corolla is edgy and eco-friendly. With a special Valvematic engine technology in play, this trim gets an EPA-estimated 40 highway MPG.*
XLE
Bump up the smarts and style of your Corolla in the XLE trim, which features a power moonroof and multi-LED headlights with LED accents, as well as Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected Navigation to get you on the fastest route to your destination.
SE
Ready…set…sport! With the return of the rear spoiler, addition of a leather-trimmed steering wheel that’s ready to grip, and a shiny chrome exhaust that makes a thrilling statement, the Corolla SE is the epitome of every enthusiast’s ideal commuter.
50th Anniversary Special Edition
The 50th Anniversary Special Edition of the Corolla commemorates a half-century of Corolla sales with an exterior badge, Black Cherry color and accents, plus unique floor mats. You also have the confidence and connectivity of Entune™ Audio Plus with Connected Navigation.
