The Toyota Corolla is well suited to everyday driving around Anderson and longer commutes toward Clemson, Easley, and Greenville. Gas-powered Corolla LE, SE, and XSE models use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive, combining a compact footprint with useful everyday efficiency. The Corolla LE is rated at an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city and 41 mpg highway, while the SE is rated at 31 mpg city and 40 mpg highway and the XSE at 31 mpg city and 38 mpg highway.
The Corolla LE includes an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen plus wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is also standard across the current Corolla lineup. Depending on trim and equipment, shoppers can step up to features such as 18-inch alloy wheels, heated SofTex®-trimmed front sport seats, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and an available 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen.
Ralph Hayes Toyota combines Corolla product assistance with long-term Toyota service support. Toyota-trained technicians can handle routine maintenance, tires, brakes, batteries, oil changes, inspections, and repairs using Genuine Toyota Parts. New Corolla ownership is also supported by Toyota’s factory warranty and ToyotaCare coverage.
The gas-powered Toyota Corolla sedan is offered in LE, SE, and XSE trims. All three provide efficient four-cylinder performance and front-wheel drive, but their equipment and personalities differ. LE emphasizes everyday value and fuel economy, SE adds sport-oriented styling and driving modes, and XSE combines the sportier design with additional comfort and technology.
| Toyota Corolla Trim | Best For | What Shoppers Should Know |
|---|---|---|
| Corolla LE | Value & Fuel Economy | The LE is the value-focused gas Corolla and delivers an EPA-estimated 32 mpg city and 41 mpg highway. An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert give the entry gas model a strong everyday technology package. |
| Corolla SE | Sportier Daily Driving | The SE gives the Corolla a sportier character with 18-inch alloy wheels, premium sport seats with sport fabric inserts, and selectable Normal, Sport, and Eco driving modes. It is a useful middle ground for shoppers who want more visual personality and driver-selectable responses without moving to the top gas trim. |
| Corolla XSE | Comfort & Technology | The XSE builds on the sport-oriented Corolla with features including SofTex®-trimmed heated front sport seats, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Additional multimedia and convenience equipment can further distinguish the XSE, so compare the equipment fitted to the specific vehicle you are considering. |
Corolla shoppers can pay cash, finance their purchase, or explore available lease programs. Paying cash avoids loan interest and recurring vehicle payments but requires more money upfront. Financing divides the purchase into scheduled payments and results in full ownership after the loan is satisfied. Leasing can provide another option for qualified drivers who prefer a defined term and anticipate changing vehicles later, although mileage allowances, wear standards, disposition requirements, and other lease terms apply. Ralph Hayes Toyota provides financing resources for customers across a range of credit situations, subject to lender approval and individual qualifications.
Ralph Hayes Toyota provides an online credit application so you can begin the financing process before traveling to our Anderson showroom. Starting online gives the finance team an opportunity to review your information before your visit and may make the in-dealership financing process more efficient.
Inventory, pricing, Toyota incentives, financing programs, and lease opportunities can change. Compare available Corolla models and verify the exact model year, trim, equipment, pricing, eligibility requirements, expiration dates, and program terms that apply when you are ready to purchase.
A qualifying trade-in can reduce the amount you need to finance or pay toward your new Corolla. Ralph Hayes Toyota provides trade-in valuation resources and can work with qualifying vehicles that still have an outstanding loan. Start with the dealership’s online valuation tool, then have the vehicle evaluated so its final value and any applicable loan payoff can be incorporated into your transaction.
A Corolla’s ownership value extends beyond fuel economy and purchase price. Toyota provides factory warranty protection and scheduled-maintenance support, while Ralph Hayes Toyota offers Toyota-trained service resources in Anderson to help maintain your Corolla throughout ownership.
The current Corolla includes Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, a suite of driver-assistance technologies that includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Proactive Driving Assist. These systems are designed to assist an attentive driver and do not replace safe driving practices.
New Toyota vehicles include a 36-month/36,000-mile basic limited warranty and 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. Rust-through coverage extends for 60 months with unlimited mileage.
