2018 Toyota Corolla L Review

The Toyota Corolla has been among the bestselling cars in the world—in any class—for more than fifty years. That’s a very impressive legacy, and drivers across the Daytona Beach area, including Palm Coast and Ormond Beach, FL, love the ideal balance of comfort, convenience, efficiency and performance they get from this sleek yet practical car.

Now it’s a new model year, and fans of the auto maker are understandably curious as to what kind of improvements they can expect this year. Learn why the 2018 Toyota Corolla L stands to continue to be one of the bestselling small sedans in America, and where to go to explore and drive one today.

2018 Toyota Corolla L

The Corolla is available in six different trim levels—an impressively customizable vehicle—and the 2018 Toyota Corolla L is the base level (and thus, most economical) trim. This year, there are no new features to the L trim, so if you were a fan of the offerings on last year’s model, you’ll find the same things available here.

Engine and Performance

The Toyota Corolla L trim is driven by an inline four cylinder engine which is 1.8 liters and gives you 132 horses under the hood, backed up by 128 pound-feet in torque. It’s driven by a continuously variable transmission, or CVT. While not the largest engine on the block, it does provide impressively peppy pick-up when you step on the gas pedal. The L is driven by 15-inch steel wheels, and a driver information display keeps you appraised of the car’s condition at all times.

Standard Equipment

Since the L is the entry-level Corolla, it’s reasonable to wonder what kind of standard equipment is available. The good news is that just like most Toyota vehicles, you get an outstanding suite of basic features. These include LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, driver information display, tilt and telescope steering wheel, height-adjust driver seat, split-fold back seat, and an infotainment system with six speakers, controlled by a 6.1-inch touchscreen, with a CD player, USB interface, and the Siri Eyes Free voice command system.

As far as safety features go, you get adaptive cruise control, frontal crash warning and emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane keeping and lane departure systems, and automatic high beam controls.

Driving

One of the things that makes the Corolla a delight to drive is its pep. Despite an older engine, when you step on the gas, the Corolla goes with authority. It’s also got a solid feel and smooth, confident brakes. The steering is easy and precise, and it corners with a surprisingly tight turn radius. Overall, it’s a supremely drivable automobile.
