Overview

The 2024 Toyota Corolla is the lone soldier from the brand in the compact sedan segment. The Corolla was never an exciting car, and nothing much has changed for the 2024 Corolla as well. However, to add some pep to the trim lineup, Toyota has reintroduced the Nightshade Edition for the 2024 model year. Belonging to the 12th generation brought to life in 2020, the 2024 Toyota Corolla is offered in sedan and hatchback formats, with hybrid trims reserved for the sedan model only.

Just last year, Toyota made significant trim level and powertrain changes, so this year it's rather quiet as opposed to the new 2024 Hyundai Elantra. Though it might lack the performance of the Honda Civic or Mazda 3, for that matter, the Toyota GR Corolla hatchback has a different story to tell. In general, every Toyota Corolla offers very good reliability and affordability; those are its USPs. Check out the video by Krowicki to learn more about the Toyota Corolla 2024 model. 

Buying Advice

The Toyota Corolla 2024 price starts at $21,900 for the base LE trim. The 2024 Corolla SE is $2,440 more expensive than the LE trim. However, for that price, you get many additional features, like premium sport seats, LED headlights, sporty suspension setup, 18-inch alloy wheels, a SMAT key system with push-button start, and an 8.0-inch infotainment screen, to name a few. So, without any second thought, the SE would be the trim to buy.

Comparative Analysis against Competition

The 2024 Toyota Corolla is not exactly a standout compact sedan. However, whatever it does and offers at its price point makes it a value-for-money car. The hatchback and hybrid trims deserve a separate review. The Toyota Corolla 2024 interior is comfortable for the front passengers, but rear-seat passengers suffer from limited headroom. Available in LE, SE, Nightshade Edition, and XSE, every trim is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard, and the result is a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA.

The 2024 Corolla LE, SE, Nightshade Edition, and XSE trims are priced at $21,900, $24,340, $25,340, and $27,000, respectively. An additional destination charge of $1,095 is levied across all the trims as delivery, processing, and handling charges. The base LE trim can be leased for a term of 36 months, with monthly payments of $229 and $3,999 due at signing. It can also be financed at an APR of 9.56% for a term of 72 months, with $371 per month and $2,750 as a down payment.

Under the hood is a 2.0-liter inline-four engine with 169 horsepower, and all the power is sent to the front wheels via the CVT. The performance isn't zippy, and the 2024 Corolla 0-60 run is expected to take 8.2 seconds. However, the slower acceleration time is compensated by very good fuel economy. The 2024 Toyota Corolla mpg ratings are 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. With a combined gas mileage of 35 mpg, the Corolla can offer a range of 462 miles from its 13.2-gallon gas tank.

The 2024 Toyota Corolla hasn't been rated for the J.D. Power Consumer Rating as of now. However, the 2023 Corolla received an overall score of 81/100, which is very good. For reliability, it scored 85/100, and for resale, it scored 81/100. However, the driving and dealership experiences scored 77/100 and 79/100, respectively. So, the 2024 Corolla is bound to offer a very similar score, promising very good reliability and resale value. However, it points to improvements in the driving experience.

              Great car for older women

              Pros - ["I love the size", "I love the hatch"]

              Cons - ["wish I had more room for stuff in front", "maybe little less leather inside"]

              I love this car, it's been so great. I took it to Tuscon and it was a great ride. I love all the extra stuff it has, sun roof, tinted wo down, comfortable seats. We also had a great time at the place we bought it. The Toyota dealership in Avondale az, 2nd car we have bought from them. We found it pretty easy, looking was made easy, everything buying was easy. I'm happy to have this car, I like it...

              Is the Corolla for me?

              Pros - ["The quick response to the gas pedal", "The gas mileage."]

              Cons - ["The sound of the tires while driving is a little loud.", "Tall people have a hard time fitting in the seat."]

              Our Corolla is awesome. The best feature is the mileage, we get over 40 miles to the gallon. The response to the gas pedal is amazing. It is a smaller-sized coupe and has issues with tall people being comfortable. The ride is a little bumpy but the performance of this car is second to none. To top it off the price was reasonable compared to other new vehicles.
