The Toyota Corolla, a name synonymous with reliability and practicality, enters the 2024 model year with subtle changes. But does this iteration maintain its crown as a safe and sensible choice, or is it simply coasting on past laurels? Let’s delve into what the 2024 Corolla offers and see if it lives up to its reputation.
Design:
The exterior retains the Corolla’s familiar silhouette, receiving minor tweaks to the grille and headlights for a slightly sharper look. It’s not a head-turner, but it avoids being completely forgettable. The interior follows suit, offering a clean and functional layout with decent materials in higher trims. While some competitors boast more stylish cabins, the Corolla prioritizes ergonomics and ease of use.
Performance:
The base engine remains a 1.8-liter four-cylinder offering 139 horsepower, adequate for daily commuting but lacking pep for enthusiastic drivers. The optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder bumps power to 169 horsepower, providing a more engaging driving experience. Both engines pair with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that delivers smooth shifts but can feel sluggish at times. Fuel economy shines, with the base engine achieving up to 32 mpg combined and the 2.0-liter reaching 30 mpg combined.
Technology:
The 2024 Corolla features an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard, with a larger 12.3-inch display available on higher trims. The system is user-friendly but feels slightly dated compared to some competitors. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are included, along with a suite of standard safety features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning. Higher trims offer additional features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Cons:
Verdict:
The 2024 Toyota Corolla remains a dependable choice for drivers prioritizing practicality and reliability. It offers a comfortable ride, good fuel economy, and a long list of standard safety features. However, its uninspired design, lack of performance options, and dated technology might leave some buyers wanting more. If you prioritize excitement and cutting-edge features, other options in the compact car segment might be more appealing. Ultimately, the 2024 Corolla caters to a specific audience seeking a no-frills, reliable companion – and within that niche, it delivers.
