COMPARISON
The 2016 Corolla LE combines an eye-catching exterior with advanced technology and proven
reliability. That legacy is hard to beat. In fact, 90% of all Toyota Corollas sold in the last ten years are
still on the road today. Numbers like that are the stuff that great road trips are made of. Corolla LE pulls
away from the Civic LX when it comes to safety and technology by providing peace of mind with eight
airbags1 and the Star Safety System™. Additional standard features like its 6.1-in. touch-screen display,
and automatic climate control make the interior of the Corolla LE a welcoming space. Even better, its
lower MSRP2 and ToyotaCare3 coverage confirms the wisdom of owning one.

1. All the airbag (AB) systems are Supplemental Restraint Systems. All ABs (if installed) are designed to inflate only under certain conditions and in certain types of severe collisions: frontal and knee
ABs typically inflate in frontal collisions; side and side curtain ABs in side collisions; Roll-Sensing Curtain ABs at a severe tilt degree, roll or lateral G-force. In all other accidents, the ABs will not inflate.
To decrease the risk of injury from an inflating AB, always wear seatbelts, sit upright in the middle of the seat as far back as possible and do not lean against the door. Do not put objects in front of an
AB or around the seatback. Do not use a rearward-facing child seat in any front passenger seat. The force of an inflating AB may cause serious injury or death. See your Owner’s Manual for further
information/warnings. 2. Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, excludes the Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee of $835 for Cars, $900 for Small/Light Trucks (Sienna, RAV4, Highlander Gas,
Highlander HV, 4Runner, Tacoma and Venza), $1195 for Large Trucks (Tundra), and $995 for Large SUVs (Sequoia and Land Cruiser). (Historically, vehicle manufacturers and distributors have charged
a separate fee for processing handing and delivering vehicles to dealerships. Toyota’s charge for these services is called the “Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee” and is based on the value of the
processing, handing and delivery services Toyota provides as well as Toyota’s overall pricing structure. Toyota may make a profit on the Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee.) Excludes taxes, license,
title and available or regionally required equipment. The Delivery, Processing and Handling Fee in AL, AR, FL, GA, LA, MS, NC, OK, SC and TX will be higher. Actual dealer price will vary. 3. Covers
normal factory scheduled service for 2 years or 25K miles, whichever comes first. See Toyota dealer for details and exclusions. Valid only in the continental U.S. and Alaska. 4. Whiplash Injury Lessening
front seats can help reduce the severity of whiplash injury in certain rear end collisions. 5. Always drive safely, obey traffic laws & focus on the road while driving. Siri® is available only on iPhone® 4s, or
later iPad® w/Retina display, iPad® mini, & iPod® touch (5th gen.) & requires Internet access. Siri® is not available in all languages or all areas & features vary by area. Some Siri® functionality & commands
are not accessible in the vehicle. Data charges may apply. See Apple.com & phone carrier for details. Siri® is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.’s. 6. The Toyota Corolla received the lowest number
of problems per 100 vehicles among compact cars in the proprietary J.D. Power 2015 Vehicle Dependability StudySM. Study based on responses from 34,372 original owners of 2012 model-year
vehicles after three years of ownership about problems experienced in the past 12 months. Proprietary study results are based on experiences and perceptions of consumers surveyed NovemberDecember 2014. Your experiences may vary. Visit jdpower.com. 7.

phone/carrier; functionality depends on many factors. Select apps use large amounts of data; you are responsible for charges. Apps and services subject to change. See toyota.com/entune for details.
16. The Tire Pressure Monitor System alerts the driver when tire pressure is critically low. For optimal tire wear and performance, tire pressure should be checked regularly with a gauge; do not rely
solely on the monitor system. See your Owner’s Manual for details. 17. Vehicle Stability Control is an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control under adverse conditions. It
is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver steering input can all affect whether VSC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your
Owner’s Manual for further details. 18. Brake Assist is designed to help the driver take full advantage of the benefits of ABS. It is not a substitute for safe driving practices. Braking effectiveness also
depends on proper brake-system maintenance, tire and road conditions. 19. Smart Stop Technology operates only in the event of certain contemporaneous brake and accelerator pedal applications.
When engaged, the system will reduce power to help the brakes bring the vehicle to a stop. Factors including speed, road conditions and driver input can all impact stopping distance. Smart Stop
Technology is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving and does not guarantee instant stopping. Please see your Owner’s Manual for further details. 20. The backup camera does not provide a
comprehensive view of the rear area of the vehicle. You should also look around outside your vehicle and use your mirrors to confirm rearward clearance. Cold weather will limit effectiveness and view
may become cloudy. 21. 2015 IntelliChoice, www.IntelliChoice.com; Compact Passenger Car. Based on 2015 model year study. 22. Does not include parts and fluids, except emergency fuel delivery.
