byJosh Jacquot^{Correspondent
Josh Jacquot is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Easy-to-use controls
Comfortable ride quality
High fuel economy

Cons

Slow acceleration
Too much road noise on the highway
Less rear headroom than most rivals

What's new

Nightshade trim level returns
Previous XLE trim has been discontinued
Part of the 12th Corolla generation introduced for 2020

Overview

Like its big brother, the Camry, the Corolla is the safe choice in the compact sedan segment. Its reputation for reliability is strong but it's never been the most exciting small car you can buy. This generation of Corolla has been in service since 2020 and remains mostly unchanged heading into 2024. The notable news for this year is the return of the Nightshade trim level, which was absent from the lineup last year. It includes blacked-out exterior styling elements alongside bronze-colored wheels.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Toyota Corolla LE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $5.35 per gallon for regular unleaded in California.}

Edmunds spotlight: The Corolla's engine and mpg

The Corolla sedan comes with only one engine, while most competitors offer more powertrain choices. But the 2.0-liter four-cylinder stands out with its impressive fuel economy — we measured an outstanding 40.2 mpg in our real-world testing. The Corolla is also only available with a continuously variable transmission, and all-wheel drive isn't an option unless you opt for the Corolla Hybrid.

Competitors to consider

The bottom line with the Corolla is simple: It's got a long legacy as a reliable and efficient compact car, and the newest model will likely live up to that legacy. But if you're looking for a small sedan that's lively and exciting to drive, you'll likely prefer the Honda Civic or Mazda 3. Check out our Expert Rating for our take on the Corolla's comfort, utility, tech and more.

Edmunds Expert Rating

Our Verdict^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.0/10

How does the Corolla drive? Acceleration is a bit underwhelming for the class (0-60 mph took 8.8 seconds in our testing), which means you'll likely be flooring the pedal when getting onto highways. Passing slower traffic requires a little extra planning and a heavy foot. Emergency braking performance is adequate, however, and braking force is easy to control for smooth stops.

We tested the Corolla XSE, which is supposed to be the sporty trim level. Alas, we quickly discovered that it's not that sporty. It leans a lot when you go around turns, and its tires don't offer much grip. But as a routine daily driver, the Corolla does just fine. It's easy to maneuver around town, and the operation of its continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) is generally unobtrusive.

Comfort

7.0/10

How comfortable is the Corolla? The Corolla's ride quality is smooth over a variety of road surfaces, and the front seats are comfortable. Whether you're tall or small, there are enough adjustments and sufficient range within those adjustments to find your preferred position. We do prefer the cloth seats since they breathe better than the available synthetic leather on hot days.

Road noise is ever present. It gets so loud on the highway that you'll have to crank the stereo to overcome it. The engine sounds labored under hard acceleration, but the continuously variable transmission's simulated gear changes help reduce the droning sound that is otherwise typical for a CVT.

Build & Price

Interior

8.0/10

How’s the interior? The Corolla's interior benefits from a simple, easy-to-use layout. The controls are right where you want them and are logically grouped. The number of buttons is sensible, with just enough to be useful but not so many that it looks cluttered.

It's also easy to get in and out of the car. Front passengers have plenty of room, and the driver has clear sight lines to both the front and rear. Seating for rear passengers is tighter, especially with regard to headroom. Adult occupants' heads might be close to the roof. The Honda Civic is better in this respect.

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? The Corolla's 8-inch screen feels big in the small car, and it looks sharp and modern. But it can be slow to respond; we noticed lag when using the navigation system and longish waits for responses to voice input. In the Corolla, the touchscreen doesn't integrate with other vehicle systems (like climate control and driver aids) as it does in some other Toyota models.

The shortcuts for primary functions are useful, but some of the virtual buttons are small and easy to miss with your finger in a moving car. Toyota's app and connected features — like remote start, phone as a key, and car finder — are nice to have, but all require a monthly subscription to use, and it's a shame remote start is only available through the app.

On the plus side, the Corolla's advanced driver aids work well, although we wish blind-spot warning offered an auditory warning instead of just a visual one. The lane keeping assistance system is particularly good. It centers the car in the lane without being overly aggressive. Our test car's upgraded JBL-branded stereo is also a hit, with excellent volume and sound quality for a small car. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, plenty of USB-C ports and optional wireless charging help keep the Corolla keep up with the competition.

Storage

7.5/10

How’s the storage? The Corolla has a slightly smaller trunk (13 cubic feet) than its primary competition. It should still be enough for typical use. Unfortunately, the rear seatbacks don't fold flat with the trunk floor, which could complicate loading longer and bulkier cargo.

Storage for personal items is also on the small side. There are just enough places for your phone and the like, but many competitors give you more. On the plus side, there seems to be ample space for infant and child safety seats. The clearly marked car seat anchors should help with installation.

Fuel Economy

8.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimate for the Corolla XSE with the 2.0-liter engine and CVT automatic (the car we tested) is 34 mpg in combined city/highway driving. The Corolla easily exceeded that estimate on our 115-mile evaluation route, returning an impressive 40.2 mpg. For the ultimate in mileage, check out the Corolla Hybrid.

Value

7.5/10

Is the Corolla a good value? The Corolla is competitive against the top entrants in the small sedan class. The cabin is upscale and is solidly put-together. Toyota's reputation for reliability figures into most shoppers' decisions, but there are other aspects to consider. You also get two years of free scheduled maintenance, which is unusual in this class.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The latest Corolla brings a fresh and modern style without unnecessary trinkets and vents. It's also more enjoyable to drive than before, but other sedans in the class are noticeably more entertaining. The overarching themes are capability and competence.

The sleek and modern styling of this current generation makes the previous Corolla seem generic by comparison. The more aggressive body treatments for the XSE trim make it even more attractive.

Which Corolla does Edmunds recommend?

The LE trim is our choice in the lineup. It comes with a fair bit of standard safety equipment, and should you have some extra room in your budget, you can spring for the LE Premium package to get a power sunroof, wireless charging pad, keyless entry, a blind-spot warning system and other nice-to-have features.

Toyota Corolla models

The 2024 Corolla is a small sedan offered in four trim levels: LE, SE, Nightshade and XSE. (The Corolla Hybrid is reviewed separately on Edmunds.) Keep reading for a rundown of the significant features you get with each trim level.

16-inch steel wheels

Automatic climate control
8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration

All Corollas also come with:

Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

SE
Based on the LE trim level, the SE is the sporty Corolla sedan thanks to:

18-inch dark gray alloy wheels
Sport-tuned suspension
Sportier exterior trim accents
Heated outside mirrors
Sport driving mode

Sport-bolstered front seats
Remote keyless entry with push-button start

I really like the look of the new Corolla SE. I like that it comes with all the safety features. I don’t like the noisy engine and that it only comes with one USB port in the front. It’s a great vehicle for every day commuting.

I ws always skeptical about the corcorols drive quality as I was coming from Tesla model 3 Sr+. Let me tell you this, thus car has it all and half the payments of Tesla. My Tesla could only be driven 200 kms on a full charge and that was ridiculous 😒. Way happier with this car.

Toyota Corolla vs. Hyundai Elantra

Though it lacks the Corolla's reputation for durability and efficiency, the Elantra has been around for more than 30 years and it's now fully established as a worthy compact sedan. It's worth considering if low cost is a priority in your purchase. The small South Korean sedan comes with a long list of standard features and an excellent warranty. Like the Corolla, it won’t excite most drivers, but it will provide the peace of mind that comes with a long warranty and plenty of features for reasonable money.

Toyota Corolla vs. Honda Civic

In addition to decades of proven service as a small car, the Civic offers a rewarding driving experience, more passenger space, and a higher-quality interior compared to the Corolla. And like the Corolla, it's also available as a hatchback. The Civic is a willing partner on twisty roads, exhibiting balance and poise in places where the Corolla merely gets by. But you'll pay more for the Civic — a not insignificant consideration in the compact sedan arena.

Toyota Corolla vs. Mazda 3

Mazda's take on the compact sedan is unique. The 3's interior verges on luxury, with premium materials and an attractive, intuitive design unlike any other car in the segment. And its quick, accurate steering and confident brakes are simply better than the Corolla's flaccid controls. The little Mazda also offers all-wheel drive and a powerful turbocharged engine with class-leading acceleration. But these are things many buyers — particularly Corolla buyers — can do without. Surprisingly, the least expensive 3 starts less than the Corolla. But the cost balloons to the mid-$30,000s if you check all the boxes, putting the 3 out of reach for a lot of people in this segment.
