Sedan and hatchback models of the 2020 Toyota Corolla | Priority Toyota Chesapeake
The 2020 Toyota Corolla has just hit the market, and so far, it more than exceeds expectations. As the 12th generation of one of America's most beloved cars, this Corolla now features the Toyota New Global Architecture platform, giving it a sportier design, paired with a more powerful engine. However, that's just one of the perks of this new vehicle. Check out some of the most impressive features this redesigned model has to offer.

Sleek and Sexy Exterior

The new Corolla kicks things up a notch compared to its predecessors with a sportier, more athletic vibe. A lower roof and hood provide a more aerodynamic feel, while a wider track offers a more menacing appearance on the road. LED headlights are standard on all trims to help your lights stand out even on the darkest of nights. You can even choose to add on an aggressive front fascia featuring a honeycomb mesh grille, 18-inch machined alloy wheels, and dark gray metallic sport accents if you truly want your new Corolla to shine.

Improved Performance

While the previous model was already extremely efficient, the 2020 Corolla takes it to the next level with its standard 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. This is a more powerful variant of the engine in its predecessor and gets a total of 139 horsepower. If you choose a higher trim, such as the XSE or SE, you'll receive an upgraded 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine that gets 169 horsepower. The final engine choice is a 1.8-liter hybrid mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission that gets 121 horsepower.

Luxurious Interior Styling

While the 2020 Corolla might not technically be a luxury vehicle, it sure feels like one with its clean and minimalist interior. The design was kept simple on purpose to invoke a warm, open, and inviting atmosphere. All the controls and seats were designed specifically to increase visibility to help you stay safer and more comfortable while driving. You'll also see an amalgam of matte and glossy surfaces that truly elevate the Corolla to more than just an everyday commuter. While cloth upholstery is the standard, you can choose to upgrade to a two-tone leather or SofTex sport seats for even more sophistication.

Improved Technology

The 2020 Corolla is truly a modern vehicle, thanks to the wide variety of technology it includes. Connect your smartphone with ease through Apple CarPlay, or you can even control your smart home devices while on the go with the Toyota+Alexa app. You'll control all your entertainment, navigation, and audio on the available 8-inch touch screen. To really make your ride more enjoyable, upgrade to the available JBL nine-speaker system to blast your tunes like there's no tomorrow. Other available features include a blind-spot monitor, Remote Connect, and an adaptive front-lighting system. As you can see, the 2020 Toyota Corolla has a lot to offer if you're in the market for a new car.
