2017 Toyota Corolla Review


Pros

  • Impressive fuel efficiency
  • Lot of options to choose from
  • High reliability and resale value
  • Spacious rear seat legroom

Cons

  • Infotainment system is sluggish
  • Engine performance is underwhelming

The 2017 Toyota Corolla Sedan is one the most sold car in car history and for celebrating the 50 years with a new front-end design and a couple of interior changes. The Toyota Safety Suite is now made standard across all trims and it is now available in 7 different trims apart from the 2017 Toyota Corolla IM hatchback. The 2017 Corolla is available for sale at a price starting at an MSRP of $19,395 and the 1.8L 132 hp inline-4 engine returns a maximum of 32 MPG combined.

Overview


To commemorate the 50 years of the Corolla, the 2017 Toyota Corolla gets a new front-end design and a special 50th Anniversary Special Edition model. It gets unique Black Cherry Pearl paint color and 50th Anniversary badging. Therefore, the 2017 Corolla is now available for sale in 7 different trims alongside the Corolla IM hatchback

The refreshed new 2017 Corolla is available for sale at a price of $19,395 and is offered with a 1.8L I-4 engine producing a power output of 132 hp. Toyota also has revised the instrument panel and the climate control and every Toyota Corolla gets Toyota Safety Suite as standard. 

In the compact sedan segment, it competes against the likes of Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, and Mazda 3. 

Pricing and Features
8.5/10


The 2017 Toyota Corolla Sedan is a car with many looks. It has 8 different variants that are the L, LE, LE Eco, SE, SE 6MT, XLE, XSE, and the 50th-anniversary special edition. Well, there is not much difference in pricing but in terms of features they all are different. Toyota made a smart move by offering variants instead of different packages. The LE Eco features a 140 hp 4-cylinder engine with an improved Fuel economy.

The L is the base variant while the XSE is the highest tier model. The SE model that we are talking about is on the sports side of Corolla, It has its own unique Front Fascia with daytime running light, sports seat, a different LED taillight, and several other safety and performance features. The very unique 50th anniversary special is loaded with tech and infotainment features.

While both the L & LE trims come bare bones and have very few creature comforts to offer, the 50th Anniversary Special Edition does not add much value to the buyers apart from the exclusivity. The LE Eco is a trim best suited for the ones who want to extract maximum efficiency of their car. 

Buying Advice


The Toyota Corolla offers a trim for every buyer, but in our opinion, the Corolla SE makes the most sense.

Priced at an MSRP of $21,340, it adds quite a few creature comforts for the buyer and yet keeps its price check. Apart from the sporty styling and driving dynamics, the SE trim also adds steering-mounted paddle shifters, leather steering wheel, leatherette upholstery, and larger 17-inch alloy wheels. Also, with the Premium package, one can get a sunroof and the larger infotainment system with navigation for an added price.

Engine and Performance
5.7/10


The 2017 Toyota Corolla SE or any other variants features a 132 hp 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with a CVT automatic transmission and a front-wheel drivetrain. Toyota has not changed the engine or made any improvements to it all because of its reliability and durability. The standard engine produces 128 lb-ft of torque whereas the LE Eco model has 8 more horsepower under its hood and produces 126 lb-ft of torque for better fuel economy.

The steering is precise, but not responsive; the throttle doesn't pack that punch of power and it is a bit laggy. Moreover, the car feels numb even though the sports exhaust doesn't bring that sporty sound. Its low hood sure increases visibility for easier handling, but it's best used in its comfort zone of a relaxed drive with its soft suspension setup which aims at providing comfort for long drives and as a family car. 

The Toyota Corolla takes around 9.9 seconds for the 0-60 MPH sprint and hits the quarter-mile in a rather lethargic 17.5 seconds. From the performance perspective, it lacks the punch, power drive, throttle response and doesn't have good reviews about its sportiness so far. The Toyota Corolla takes 126 feet to come to a complete halt in the 60-0 MPH braking test.

Interior
7.2/10

It doesn’t really feel like a compact sedan by ‘Toyota’ owing to the fact that Corolla's cabin looks very posh and upscale when compared to rivals in the class. The Toyota Corolla offers a rich experience in the roomy cabin which is made up of quality hard plastics and includes a dashing cloth upholstery. The quality and level of finish is above par and will leave one impressed.

The new Kia Forte is not much different from the Corolla in terms of performance, it does have a little powerful engine and better fuel economy but is the same in interior dimension. The Corolla SE and the Forte S balance each other in several aspects and there is not much difference in the price either. The Corolla might get beaten in the handling and drive experience segment but has an advantage in comfort and convenience.
