Big news for compact car shoppers comes in the 2020 Toyota Corolla sedan, a
redesign Toyota unveiled just a couple weeks ago that now adds a hybrid variant
at this week's 2018 LA Auto Show. Now if you've been following Toyota lately you
know that the automaker brought out an all-new Corolla hatchback just one model
year ago. The sedan essentially repeats the same formula it just has a trunk.
Similarly sleek styling outside and in with a hi-tech uprated four-cylinder
engine and a very responsive continuously variable automatic
transmission that we've really enjoyed in the hatchback. So why am I holding my
other shoe? Well because it drops with three of the five sedan trim levels
which basically have a carryover engine and the old-school CVT from the prior
generation. Kind of a bummer. It's not all bad though. All trim levels now have an
independent rear suspension and additional driver assist technologies
including lane centering steering on all automatic equipped models. Oh and Toyota
estimates the Corolla Hybrid will get 50 miles per gallon in combined ratings.
Stay tuned for EPA certified numbers and pricing closer to the Corolla Hybrid's
spring 2019 on sale date. That's right about the same time as the non-hybrid
Corolla sedan goes on sale and be sure to check out Cars.com all week long for
more coverage of the 2018 LA Auto Show.
