Toyota has unveiled its 11th generation Corolla, which features new exterior and interior styling, a longer wheelbase, and a mileage rating of more than 40 mpg.
The Toyota Corolla LE Eco trim level features a 140-hp, 1.8L engine.
The 2014 Corolla will also offer a new LE Eco grade that is comprised of a 140-hp, 1.8L engine with valvematic technology; improved aerodynamics; and low rolling resistance tires, according to the company. The Corolla Eco-badged models will achieve an estimated highway fuel economy rating of over 40 mpg thanks to the new engine combined with a newly developed continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Corolla L, LE, and S grade models are all powered by a 1.8L, four-cylinder engine with intelligent variable valve timing (VVT-i) that produces 132 hp.

The Corolla LE and S are available with the automaker’s new continuously variable transmission called the CVTi-S (“i” for intelligent and “S” for shift), which is designed to increase the Corolla’s fuel economy and provide a smooth and efficient power transfer.
A 6-speed manual transmission is available on the Corolla L and S grades. Drive modes that offer recalibrated throttle, transmission, and steering responses are available on the Corolla LE Eco and Corolla S. For ECO drive mode on the LE Eco, the initial throttle inputs are less sensitive to help encourage more fuel-efficient driving and eliminate sudden starts, according to the automaker. On the S grade, the SPORT mode software helps make accelerator pedal feel more responsive to input along with the CVTi-S shifting logic. In SPORT mode, the Corolla’s electronic power steering is programmed to ffer a more positive steering feel.
The 2014 Corolla unibody makes use of lightweight, high-strength steel to help keep vehicle weight below 2,900 lbs. in the interest of fuel economy, according to Toyota.
The 2014 Corolla features 15 inch-17 alloy wheels.
The new Corolla’s exterior design builds on the company’s “Iconic Dynamism,” which features a longer 106.3-inch wheelbase and shorter overhangs meant to give the vehicle a sportier look, according to the company. The new Corolla features 15 inch to 17 inch alloy wheels and will be available in three new colors.
The instrument cluster and surrounding surfaces of the 2014 Toyota Corolla are piano black.
The interior changes include piano black surfaces on the instrument cluster and surrounding surfaces, metallic accents, and pinstriping. Sound insulation has been strategically placed along the fenders, cowl, and behind the dash panel to reduce noise entering the cabin, helping occupants enjoy Corolla’s available audio systems and connectivity features, according to the automaker.

The Corolla comes standard with LED headlamps, eight air bags, and Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio-streaming connectivity. The Corolla will be available in four trim levels (L, LE, LE Eco, and S).
AI is no longer a future concept for fleets—it’s already embedded in the tools, data, and decisions that operators rely on every day. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, recorded live at Fleet Forward, industry leaders take the conversation beyond hype to examine what responsible AI adoption really looks like in fleet operations.
As fleets rethink how they capture, manage, and act on vehicle data, telematics is at a major inflection point. In this episode of the Fleet Forward Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most pressing questions facing fleet leaders today: Should you rely on OEM factory-installed connectivity, aftermarket devices, or a hybrid of both?
Experts from telematics analytics, fleet-as-a-service operations, and national EV benchmarking share how real-time data is reshaping fleet strategy—dispelling assumptions, validating best practices, and exposing costly missteps.
A powerhouse panel featuring experts from the American Automotive Leasing Association, CalSTART, and municipal fleet leadership dives into the realities of navigating shifting emissions rules, regulatory waivers, federal agency actions, the future of the EPA’s endangerment finding, and the push for unified standards. They also examine the impacts of tariffs, autonomous vehicle policy, battery innovation, and the accelerating global EV market.
This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the technologies and market forces reshaping today’s fleet landscape. Host Chris Brown is joined by Laolu Adeola (Leke Services), Tyson Jomini (J.D. Power), and Richard Hall (ZappiRide) to break down real-world data, shifting incentives, and practical strategies fleet leaders can use right now.
In the middle of natural disasters fleet managers must shift priorities to protect people and assets. What policy items should be loosened, and when should the line be held?
In this episode, fleet leaders from municipal, university, and private-sector organizations share a candid EV reality check. From infrastructure setbacks and policy whiplash to grant funding, total cost of ownership, and charging resiliency, this conversation dives into what it actually takes to scale electrification in the real world.
After a decade of lagging compensation, fleet manager pay is climbing. But expanding responsibilities, larger fleets, and growing complexity continue to redefine the role.
