The Toyota Corolla as good as gold!!



The Toyota Corolla, which has been one of the pillars of sensibility, reliability and straightforward packaging, has entered its 50th year! Gone are the days of the original boxy Corolla with the mirrors placed on the hood.

The New Corolla is getting a midcycle refresh. The front carries the characteristics of different Toyota models like the Yaris and the Prius, with a significantly different grille and feature segment-exclusive LED headlights. The rear end is much the same as it was, other than some slightly tweaked taillights.

The interior is where this Corolla really changes from the previous models. An update to both its design and to its audio system, offers a higher end infotainment including a new larger 7- inch touchscreen and standard backup camera. The Corolla also contains Toyota's Safety Sense-P suite of active and passive safety systems, which includes forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and automatic high beams.

To celebrate the model’s 50th Birthday, Toyota is releasing a Corolla 50th Anniversary Special Edition. This car, based on the Corolla SE, has fancy alloy wheels, the previously mentioned 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 50th anniversary-themed floor mats and badges and “black cherry” interior contrast stitching.

While we don’t know how much the new Corolla is going to run, we do know that it will be here this fall and they are available in 3 colors silver, white and dark red. Until then check out our other great Toyotas and contact us to get yours today.
