Having a reliable method of transportation for daily driving is more essential now than in previous years. The 2024 Toyota Corolla remains the standard bearer of economy and dependability that so many drivers have come to rely on. Stability and consistency are greatly appreciated in a marketplace that expands by leaps and bounds each year. Many drivers in the market for a Toyota Corolla and its many advantages might be curious about which trim and edition suits them best. That’s where we come in.

At Westchester Toyota, we take immense joy in helping our customers find the vehicle that suits them best. If you’re considering looking at a Toyota Corolla for sale, many of the offerings at our location can benefit you for many years to come. A new crop of models and trims is available, making the selection process much more manageable. Today, we’re presenting a buyer’s guide to assist you in choosing what version of the 2024 Toyota Corolla will work best for you.

Style and Versatility

The Corolla has been in head-to-head competition with the Honda Civic for many years. Like its competitor, the Toyota Corolla has two unique body styles: a practical hatchback and a stylish sedan. The sedan offers a smooth aerodynamic shape that accentuates its curves in all the right places. It will undoubtedly appeal to those who enjoy style and aesthetics as much as economy and practicality. The sedan is also available with a hybrid powertrain for exceptional fuel economy.

Fans of the classic hatchback design that’s somewhat reminiscent of the Civic Hatchback and Volkswagen Golf will feel right at home with the hatchback version of the Toyota Corolla. Not only does the hatchback embody that classic style that so many appreciate, but it’s also versatile in providing storage, with 17.8 cu.ft. of cargo room in the back, roughly 35% more than the trunk of the Corolla Sedan. The hatchback body style also serves as the base for the high-performance GR Corolla rally car.

Fuel Economy for the Discerning Driver

One of the reasons why so many have chosen the Toyota Corolla as their primary mode of transportation is the vehicle’s exceptional fuel economy that allows drivers to save money on fuel costs. We’ll take a few moments to explain which version will be ideal for you. For drivers looking to make the most of their fuel economy, the hybrid version of the Corolla offers exceptional savings. The EPA estimates that drivers who choose the 2024 Corolla Hybrid will achieve 53 MPG in the city and 46 MPG on the highway for 50 MPG combined. This amounts to 565 miles on a full tank and an estimated fuel savings of $4,250 over five years compared to the average 2024 vehicle. The 2024 Corolla Sedan and Corolla Hatchback are both rated for 32 MPG in the city, 41 MPG on the highway, and 35 MPG combined.

Toyota’s Selection of Trims

When it comes to choosing the correct version of the Toyota Corolla that will benefit you the most, it all comes down to determining which trim suits you best. The 2024 Corolla Sedan is available in the LE, SE, Nightshade, and XSE trims, while the 2024 Corolla Hybrid offers the LE, SE, Nightshade, and XLE trims. Finally, the 2024 Corolla Hatchback can be had in the SE, Nightshade, and XSE trims.

The LE trim is an affordable base model, while the SE adds a sporty aesthetic and some extra features. If you want more premium features, the XLE is the trim for you, and the XSE combines luxury with sporty touches. The Nightshade is a special edition that comes with blacked-out details and bronze wheels that make it stand out wherever you go.

Comfort and Amenities

As with any vehicle that comes in multiple trim levels, the number of refined features that provide comfort and luxury varies as you travel up the trim hierarchy. Toyota has always been known as a generous brand with what it has to offer, and across all trims, you’ll find some of the best items that can give you that sophisticated driving experience you’ve always craved.

The base LE trim offers plenty of comfort features, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for easy smartphone compatibility and automatic climate control to ensure comfort no matter where your journeys may take you. Toyota’s vast array of technologies can be accessed through the standard eight-inch infotainment screen. The LE also has several available features that can enhance your time spent behind the wheel, including built-in navigation and a Wi-Fi hotspot.

The SE trim is where style and presentation become more prominent. It includes 18-inch alloy wheels and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A spoiler and black grille elevate the SE trim’s style, which is a joy for those who love making a first impression.

The XSE trim refines the driving experience to an almost elite level. A stereo system from JBL is one item that any audiophile will want to enjoy. Leather upholstery and heated power seats with lumbar support make any trip a lavish experience, even if it’s just to the store and back.

Safety and Driving Assistance Features

The technological innovations that occur within the automotive industry each year are nothing short of remarkable. Some brands still limit the best features to upper trims, but Toyota has continually illustrated its concern for its customers by making important features standard. The 2024 Toyota Corolla is certainly no exception. First and foremost, it’s worth mentioning that the NHTSA awarded the Corolla a five-star overall safety rating for collision testing.

Toyota equips the 2024 Corolla with many safety features on all trim levels, including Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Automatic High Beams. All of these features are part of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a comprehensive suite of tools meant to provide protection.

The optional Convenience Package allows the LE and SE trims to be equipped with more features, including a Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. These features come standard on the XSE trim, so if you’re looking for an immersive driving experience with safety that matches its comfort, this is most likely the ideal trim for you.
