2027 Toyota Corolla iM MPG, Interior, Pictures – Under the hood, the 2026 Toyota Corolla iM gets several changes, making it even better than before. Every gas-powered car now comes standard with the same 2.0L four-cylinder engine, which was once reserved for higher model levels. Gone is the 1.8L engine. In addition to enhanced driver-assist safety features, the 2019 Corolla iM has a redesigned infotainment system that offers subscription-based services and fresh design cues.

Interior and Exterior

The front seats of the Corolla iM are supportive and kept us comfortable throughout the whole two-hour drive. A power driver’s seat is an amenity I’d have liked, but it’s reserved for the most expensive XSE trim. Those in the back, with their limited space for movement and flat seat cushions, have it worse. Surprisingly, the ride stays reasonably smooth and composed over all but the worst road irregularities, despite the fact that the suspension is noisy over bumps.

2027 Toyota Corolla iM Specs

The entry-level L trim is pretty standard, with manual air conditioning, manual headlights, taillights, and a basic eight-inch multimedia touchscreen that now has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (they were wired before), satellite radio, and a trial of connected services that includes a stolen vehicle locator and an emergency assistance button.

Upgrades to the LE include heated front seats, climate control, electric parking brake, wiper de-icer, 16-inch steel wheels, and automatic climate control. Alloy wheels with locking nuts, push-button start, heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and power sunroof are additional features that may be added on with the $2,050 LE Upgrade package.

Engine and Performance

This LE model would have been equipped with a 1.8L four-cylinder producing 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque before this year. A 2.0L inline-four producing 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque is now standard, much like in the SE and XSE grades. This tiny sedan now has greater passing power and quicker acceleration, which is a great improvement. The engine isn’t exactly smooth, but it’s more than adequate for daily errands and isn’t a sports vehicle either.

This one, called a direct-shift, has a first gear that engages at launch and then switches to the gearless CVT pulley system, which is more fuel efficient. This makes the vehicle feel more traditional and quicker while starting up from a standstill.

2027 Toyota Corolla iM Fuel Economy

According to NRCan, the new 2.0L engine in the Corolla iM LE achieves 7.4 L/100 km in city driving, 5.7 L/100 km on highway driving, and 6.7 L/100 km combined. I got an average of 7.1 L/100 km in my week of using it; the gasoline it requires is 87 octane. Competitors with similar 2.0L engines include the Hyundai Elantra (6.7 L/100 km combined), the Honda Civic (6.9 L/100 km), and the Mazda3 (7.6 L/100 km). 2027 Toyota Corolla iM MPG

2027 Toyota Corolla iM Safety Features

At the NHTSA crash test, the Corolla iM received the highest possible score of five stars. Moreover, the IIHS has designated it as a Top Safety Pick vehicle. Because it received a lower score of “Acceptable” rather than the maximum score of “Good” in the revised side and moderate front overlap tests, which more accurately mimic the impact of a big SUV, it was not named a Top Safety Pick+.

Modernized driver-support safety features are standard across the board and include things like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with steering aid, automatic high-beam headlamps, lane-tracing assist, adaptive front braking with pedestrian detection, and adaptive cruise control. The second-level LE comes standard with ten airbags, the backup camera that is required on all new vehicles sold in Canada, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and more. 2027 Toyota Corolla iM MPG

With prices ranging from $24,450 to $32,150, the gas-only Corolla iM lineup is in the middle of the pack compared to its rivals. All prices include destination. The Hyundai Elantra is the most affordable at $22,224 to $31,674; the Mazda3 starts at $24,260, which is somewhat less than the Corolla iM; the Honda Civic ranges from $28,115 to $35,180, with the highest trim costing $34,460. 2027 Toyota Corolla iM MPG

The Corolla iM LE with the optional Upgrade pack might be the perfect combination of pricing and amenities for many consumers at $27,500. The SE adds a sportier suspension, premium headlamps, fog lights, and enhanced seat fabric to the base model, but the sunroof, heated steering wheel, wireless charging, and 18-inch wheels that came on my test vehicle are only avail
