2021 Toyota Corolla XSE - Watch Before You Buy!
Рет қаралды 26,969
Күн бұрынThe 2021 Corolla is here! The new Corolla has morphed into a mid-sized, upscale, high MPG sedan from its humble roots. We took it out to the canyons and drove it like a sports car to find out how capable it is when you push it. We found the chassis to be stiff and capable in the corners, although the XSE trim package does not turn it into an outright sports car. The underlying chassis dynamics are excellent.
Driving it around the city we found the ride to be very comfortable and the engine and transmission are decently responsive. We found it returned about 26mpg while thrashing around and driving with a heavy foot. The Corolla never complained. The CVT transmission is surprisingly good and will easily convince most people it's a traditional automatic. That's pretty high praise coming from a manual shifting aficionado who loves to row his own gears.
The Corolla has Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 as a standard suite of technology that we found works quite effectively. Our tester fully equipped was $28,845 including Premium Audio, Adaptive lighting and destination fees.

As the owner of a 6-speed Scion iM, I got the chance to drive a 2020 Corolla SE (as a loaner) for half a day while getting new brakes installed. I was pretty amazed at how much better and more fun the new Corolla is! I was very impressed! A lot of reviewers still seem to think the new Corolla is too slow and too boring. It's definitely no race car, but I really enjoyed driving the new Corolla. It's fast enough for daily driving. It's not super fast, but I also never felt it was slow or lacking for power. The only thing is that, as a hatchback fan, I wish Toyota would offer a sunroof in the hatchback! But the new Corolla is almost certainly my next car. Well done, Toyota! Great car!

@revmatchtv 4 жыл бұрын
The Corolla has moved on from econobox. The materials are nice and the build quality is high. The seats are not super supportive but they are comfy. I’m not sure if the weight of the XRS but I’d guess it’s lighter. This Corolla is not powerful by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s adequate to get you around and it’s sorta fun to wring it out.

I have always wondered.. why hasn't Toyota created a direct competitor to the Civic Si? I think this current Corolla looks AWESOME, and I really wish they would make a competitor to the Si but in the SEDAN body. I am excited to see what the GR Corolla will look like, but.. the sedan looks SO good in my opinion!
@revmatchtv 4 жыл бұрын
Good question! The Apex edition should meet the Si head on except in the power front. I asked for a review sample, but they are not in the press fleet yet. The GR Corolla will be priced above the Si and close to the Civic Type R.
@Camhill182 4 жыл бұрын
RevMatchTV yikes. If its priced close to the Veloster N, it should do well, but, eh, ill just shut up and wait for the official reveal
@Camhill182 4 жыл бұрын
They could easily just slap a small turbo on the 1.8 and take it up to a conservative 210-220hp to compete with the Veloster, Civic Si, and potentially the GTI (if it handles well enough). I would totally consider buying one if they did that. and, obviously, it would need to at the very least offer a manual
@revmatchtv 4 жыл бұрын
They definitely could. I think the next move will be the GR Corolla. This TNGA-C chassis is very stiff. It's an amazing platform and I'm actually excited to see what they can do with it.

The Corolla isn't meant to be a race car! The Corolla success formula has always been an extremely reliable car with great gas mileage. The Corolla is for the guy who doesn't want to be explaining to his boss he's not at work because the car broke down. Also, if you're driving 60 miles a day going to and from work, as I was, you want good fuel economy. Everything else you get with a Corolla is just the frosting on the cake.

I'd imagine a similar amount of engineering went into the transmission.
