2021 Toyota Corolla Review

Toyota Corolla: Fuel-Efficient Design

The 2021 Toyota Corolla is designed to make the most out of every drop of fuel. That’s why it comes standard with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with up to 139 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. With this more compact powertrain, you’ll enjoy an EPA-estimated 30 city MPG and 38 highway MPG.¹

For improved speed and even some boosted fuel economy, you can upgrade to the available 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. Not only does this powertrain provide up to 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, but it’ll achieve an EPA-estimated 31 city MPG and 40 highway MPG.¹

To ensure your Corolla achieves an ideal fuel economy, this vehicle provides a standard Continuously Variable Transmission. This system is designed without gears to provide a spectrum of shift points. The result is seamless acceleration that will give you just the right amount of power for an excellent fuel economy.
