Efficiency Is Key

	Toyota Corolla L	Toyota Corolla LE Eco
Engine:	1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine	1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine
Horsepower:	132 HP	140 HP
Miles Per Gallon:	28 city/36 highway1	30 city/40 highway2

The 2019 Corolla is powered by a smaller, zippy engine to maximize efficiency. Lift the hood to find a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission with intelligence and Shift Mode (CVTi-S). This configuration generates 132 horsepower, but what’s truly impressive is the Corolla model’s driving range on a single tank.

Thanks to the CVTi-S, you can expect an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 28 city/36 highway/32 combined MPG¹ from the base model Toyota Corolla L. Traditional automatic transmissions have fixed gear ratios while a CVT operates on a gearless system, which allows it to optimize performance.

Drivers can opt for increased efficiency with the Corolla LE Eco. While this trim has the same transmission as the 2019 Corolla L, it’s equipped with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with Valvematic technology that generates 140 horsepower. You’ll also notice its EPA-estimated 30 city/40 highway/34 combined MPG.² With even more mileage on one fill-up, where will you go?

Meet Your Safety Suite

Toyota is known to manufacture some of the safest cars on the market, so we wanted to highlight some of its standard safety components:

1. Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P): This system includes driver-assistive functions, such as a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC).
2. PCS w/PD: This will alert you of an imminent frontal collision with cars, pedestrians, or large road debris, and direct you to take preventive measures like braking and steering adjustments. If you fail to brake in time, the 2019 Corolla will begin to apply brake pressure to avoid or mitigate the impact forces from an accident.
3. DRCC: This will ensure that you keep a safe following distance behind other vehicles while cruise control is engaged.

Other standard safety features include:

• An advanced airbag system
• Driver and front passenger Whiplash-Injury-Lessening (WIL) seats
• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
