The Corolla features some radical changes this year. This sedan’s body is brand new and it’s bigger overall. As there have been no mechanical changes, the Corolla is back with a 1.8L four-cylinder engine. The new ECO version has an engine with Valvematic valve timing technology. The basic Corolla is equipped with a four-speed automatic gearbox but the others get a six-speed manual or a CVT.
