Though the automotive industry is always changing, there is one pillar of this industry that will always remain true: compact cars will never truly go out of style. One of the most attractive aspects of compacts is that they offer fuel efficiency ratings that are unparalleled in other gasoline-powered cars. This benefit makes compact cars perfect for students, commuters, or anyone who is looking to slash their monthly gasoline budget. With this in mind, there's one compact that has always stood out from the crowd - the Toyota Corolla.

The Corolla is ready for the 2021 model year with several exciting changes in store for shoppers. One of the most notable changes is that the hatchback model of this compact now has a Special Edition which offers a unique body kit and stunning Supersonic Red exterior paint.

The classic Corolla sedan also has a few exciting updates for the 2021 model year, including a limited-production trim level called the Apex Edition. This exclusive trim will offer special styling elements, a performance-tuned chassis, available summer tires, and the option to outfit the car with a manual transmission for an even sportier driving performance. Lastly, all 2021 Corolla models now come standard with Android Auto so that everyone can enjoy their playlists while they drive.

Base models of the 2021 Corolla have a high-quality cloth covering as the standard upholstery, and upper trim levels offer a sport-cloth upholstery or a premium SofTex® upholstery. The Toyota Corolla can comfortably seat five passengers between its two rows, and everyone will have plenty of headroom and legroom in either row. Speaking of spacious, the Corolla sedan's trunk clocks in at 13.1 cubic-feet for your daily essentials and travel gear alike, and the Corolla hatchback offers up to 23 cubic-feet of space.

Driving a 2021 Toyota Corolla means you'll have access to premium amenities and the hottest technology, including heated seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering-wheel mounted audio controls, wireless phone charging, ambient lighting, and a premium instrument cluster on the dashboard. The Corolla comes equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen that features Android Auto, Apple CarPlay®, Bluetooth®*, Amazon Alexa, and a Wi-Fi hotspot, so you never have to disconnect from your favorite entertainment.

The 2021 Corolla also comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 driver assistance suite. This cutting-edge group of features offers things like automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and road sign assist to help keep you even safer while you drive.
