The 2020 model year saw the introduction of an all-new Toyota Corolla as the iconic vehicle entered its twelfth generation! The legend has been around since all the way back in the mid-to-late sixties, building its legacy year after year. With a big overhaul in 2020, the 2021 model year naturally didn’t need to see much change. In truth, the big difference between the two model years is the addition of the 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition, a limited-edition model introduced for 2021.
2021 Toyota Corolla | Vs | 2020 Toyota Corolla |
139 hp | Horsepower | 139 hp |
33 mpg | Combined Fuel Efficiency | 33 mpg |
13.1 cu. ft. | Cargo Capacity | 13.1 cu. ft. |
5 | Seating | 5 |
As you can tell from the table above, the differences between model years don’t revolve around the compact sedans’ specifications. The L trim level of the new vehicle is powered by the same engine as the old L model, and they both offer the same amount of space. The vehicle’s design and features were carried over from the generation redesign last year as well. As mentioned, the big difference revolves around the Apex Edition.
The 2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition is a special limited variant of the model that will only be built 6,000 times. These special models are only featured on the SE and XSE trim levels, and they feature a more aggressive overall aesthetic, tighter handling than the standard Corolla, a chassis tuned with track driving in mind, plus available 6-speed manual transmission and summer tires.
This exciting variant of the 2021 Toyota Corolla is sure to be an impressive sight. We wish it weren’t limited to just 6,000 instances, but we can’t wait to see the whole 2021 Toyota Corolla lineup of trim levels cruising around Enfield here in Connecticut.
