Compare the 2019 Toyota Corolla L vs Corolla XLE

One of the best-selling and reputable compact cars of all time, the Toyota Corolla rolls into 2019 with an unchanged sedan version. If you're shopping for a vehicle that provides an outstanding value, great fuel economy, substantial passenger space, and generous standard safety features, here's what you need to know about the L, which is the base trim, and the XLE, which is one step down from the top-of-the-line 2019 Corolla model.

Powerful Drivetrain with Great Fuel Economy

Both the L and XLE trims are powered by a 132-horsepower four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which operates like an automatic. You'll get above-average fuel economy of 28/36 city/highway miles per gallon. This front-wheel-drive vehicle offers precise steering and a composed, comfortable ride.

Luxurious Appearance with Economical Prices

The L and XLE trims are just slightly different as far as the exterior. The base model has bi-LED headlights and LED daytime running lights. The XLE is distinguished by soome sporty touches like a rear spoiler, a unique front fascia with a black mesh grille, 17-inch alloy wheels, and multi-LED headlights with LED accent lights. Both were refreshed most recently in 2017.

How Has Toyota Expanded its Feature Lineup for 2019?

The Corolla is one of the few compact cars that is well-equipped even at the base trim. You'll enjoy a 6.1-inch touchscreen Entune infotainment system with a six-speaker stereo system, Bluetooth, Siri Eyes Free voice commands, and a USB port. It also includes plenty of standard safety features, including a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane departure alert with steering assistance, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection.

The XLE has those features plus upgrades like leatherette upholstery, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, heated front seats, proximity key entry with push-button start, a moonroof, and an upgraded infotainment system with a 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, and satellite and HD radio.
