May 16, 2021

The new 2021 Toyota Corolla maintains its reputation as one of the safest and most fuel-efficient compact cars on the market today. This new Toyota sedan is packed with several features to help improve your driving experience. Whether you prefer the sleek sedan or hatchback, the Toyota Corolla proves to be dependable while showing off style with a sleek interior and exterior design. We know you might have specific needs that need to be met with your next purchase and fuel efficiency is an obvious and important one.

With two different engine choices you can choose from, you can choose the new Toyota Corolla that best fits your interests. The sedan uses a 139-hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). New Toyota Corolla SE models boast a more sport-focused trim and use a more powerful 169-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that pairs with either a CVT or optional six-speed manual transmission. If either of those engine options doesn’t meet your needs, the Corolla LE Hybrid sedan offers a hybrid powertrain that still maintains the usual ride quality and is the most fuel-efficient out of all models. No matter what you’re looking for from your new Toyota Corolla, there is sure to be the best option for you at Toyota of New Bern.

Each of the new 2021 Toyota Corolla’s engine options earns quality estimates from the EPA. The Toyota Corolla L base model sedan earns 29 mpg in the city and 39 mpg on the highway. When paired with the 2.0-liter engine, the Toyota Corolla SE sedan slightly earns more than the smaller engine by earning 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway. The sedan Corolla LE hybrid powertrain option earns the most miles per gallon out of any Corolla model by earning 53 mpg city and 52 highway. The Corolla XLE hatchback is similar to its sedan counterpart in terms of fuel economy. When equipped with a manual transmission, the Corolla XLE Hatchback earns 29 mpg city and 37 mpg highway, while the automatic transmission model earns 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.
