The 2.0L four-cylinder makes 169 hp at 6,600 rpm and 151 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm with a 13.0:1 compression ratio, direct and port injection, and Dual VVT-i. The Dynamic Shift CVT uses a physical launch gear for start-off acceleration before handing off to the belt-and-pulley system for a linear feel.
The EPA classifies the Corolla sedan as a midsize car, with 88.6 cu. ft. of interior volume and 13.1 cu. ft. of trunk space. Automatic climate control, a 60/40 split-folding rear seat, and two front and two rear USB-C ports are standard on every grade.
The LE and SE start with an 8-inch touchscreen and a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on every grade. The XSE steps up to a 10.5-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital cluster, and SE buyers can add both with the SE Premium Package.
The 2027 Corolla comes in three grades, all front-wheel drive with the same 169-hp engine. The SE and XSE add a gloss-black sport mesh grille, rear sport diffuser, 18-inch alloy wheels, and a multi-link rear suspension.

The LE has the best gas fuel economy at 35 combined MPG, good for an estimated 460-plus miles per tank, with LED headlights, automatic climate control, and Blind Spot Monitor standard.

The XSE adds heated SofTex-trimmed seats, an 8-way power driver’s seat, a 10.5-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital cluster, a moonroof, and paddle shifters.
