Serving Suitland, Alexandria, and Washington

Toyota offers more than ever before on the 2017 Toyota Corolla. Let?s look at the base edition, known as the L, and see how it compares to the LE. We think you?ll agree that both are value packages. In either model, you?ll find technology is hard at work for you.

Performance

For both the Toyota Corolla L and LE, an automatic transmission and front-wheel drive are standard. With its remarkably broad gear range, the continuously variable transmission is a good way to travel. L and LE editions are powered by a 132-horsepower engine. The EPA estimates that this engine can earn 35 mpg highway. Even more significantly, it earns 28 mpg city. If you prefer the LE Eco, you actually get even more efficiency and a 140-horsepower engine. Combined fuel economy rises from 32 to 34 mpg.

Appearance

The newest Corollas have more curb appeal than ever before. Bi-LED headlights and other modern touches make the L look as contemporary on the outside as it is on the inside. In the cockpit, drivers can get comfortable with adjustable seats and a fully-adjustable steering wheel. Striving for best-in-class, the Corolla can offer a flat rear floor with 41 inches of legroom. L editions come with an Entune touchscreen and offer Bluetooth streaming audio to keep you entertained. To show you the best reverse path, a rearview camera is also standard.

LE editions look the same, but they run on 16-inch wheels. You can also opt for bumper-integrated LED lights. Exterior aids have been added, including variable intermittent wipers and heated mirrors. Keyless entry makes life easier when you are in a hurry. The cabin has a special metallic trim to dress up the look. It?s easier to set the temperature with an automatic climate system. Backseat passengers gain an armrest and cupholders. You can upgrade the touchscreen and also claim a special navigation app to show you the way to your next adventure. A sunroof is a favorite on the LE options menu.

Safety

The most surprising thing about both of these affordable editions is the standard crash avoidance system. The Corolla leads its class with these features. Whether you choose L or LE trim, you will get the benefit of warning systems and automation. On the steering wheel, you can easily choose dynamic radar cruise control. The feature will regulate your speed and even bring the car to a stop to match traffic requirements. The forward collision warning watches for danger and warns the driver. Likewise, pedestrian detection is on alert for someone who crosses the Corolla?s path. An autobrake, which is tied to these features, may try to stop the car if the driver can?t respond quickly. Another warning feature is the lane watch. If the Corolla strays too far, a lane assist may try to correct the situation. Drivers will also appreciate the fact that the Corolla is stocked with eight airbags. In crash testing, the car has earned IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus and a five-star federal safety rating.
