The streets, roads, and highways of Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro might be full of SUVs and pickup trucks these days, but there’s always a place for the Toyota Corolla Sedan. The 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan is a compact four-door sedan with a choice of gas and hybrid powertrains. The 2024 model year continues with the new front and rear fascias, extra standard technology, greater availability of the 2.0-liter engine, and ushers in a new Nightshade variant for those who want that extra style.
The 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan sedan is available in LE, SE, Nightshade, and XSE trim levels. The 2024 Corolla Sedan has its own look and appeal, but there’s more than a hint of the stunning Camry to be seen from most angles. This latest version of the legendary compact sedan is stunningly stylish, especiallin its new Nightshade format. While it’s easy to take the Corolla Sedan for granted for its sensible practicality and tens of millions of units sold, the 2024 model is worth a closer look as it has to be the most desirable Corolla Sedan that Toyota has ever produced.
The longstanding 1.8-liter inline-four has now disappeared from all gas-only versions of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan and gets replaced by the more powerful 2.0-liter inline-four. The bigger engine means the Corolla Sedan now puts out 169 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque, which is 30 horsepower more than the 1.8 offered. Gas models send their power exclusively to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which helps deliver EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 32 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 35 mpg combined (LE trim level).
The ride quality of the 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan is impressively comfortable and properly isolates all but the roughest bumps. Additionally, the car’s body motions are under control, which results in improved agility over prior models. The SE and XSE trim levels of the 2024 Toyota Corolla are differentiated further from the other models by a sport-tuned suspension that is firmer, and the larger 18-inch wheels found on the XSE.
Every 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan gets a generous level of standard equipment, including a full complement of LED lights, but the steel wheels of the base model would probably mark it out as mainly for fleets. The price difference between the mid-range and top-of-the-line models isn’t huge, so many shoppers are likely to gravitate to the top trims.
The XSE gets standard 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport mesh gloss black front grille, a power tilt/slide moonroof, SofTex-trimmed heated front sport seats with sport fabric inserts, a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster, Smart Key System, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Normal, Sport, and Eco driving modes. With a relatively small price difference between the SE, Nightshade, and XSE, most shoppers will probably opt for the trim level that suits their style best.
If you haven’t experienced a Corolla Sedan for a while and you’re in the market for a compact, sporty, fuel-sipping car that’s a tremendous value for money and very desirable, the 2024 Toyota Corolla Sedan is all that and more.
