For 2017, the Corolla sees a restyled front end that brings excitement to every street corner, an updated interior that offers premium comforts, and new technology that helps keep you connected.
There's a reason why the Toyota Corolla is the number one selling compact in America, and it's not just its good looks. Take a look at our chart below as we compare it to another popular vehicle in its class, the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta and see how the new Corolla stacks up against the competition.

The new Jetta comes available with some of these features, however they are not found standard on all trims like the Corolla.

Drivers who want to stand out from the crowd can purchase the 50th Anniversary Special Edition Corolla, which comes with 50th Anniversary Special Edition exterior badging, unique 17-in. alloy wheels, and Black Cherry contrast stitching on the seats. Finally, customers who are looking for a reliable compact that has a low starting MSRP but still delivers on power and features will love the base Corolla L.
