We might as well start with the cheapest car in the Toyota lineup. So what can you expect from the cheapest new Toyota car you can buy in the USA? Well, this particular Corolla Sedan is not the top-spec Hybrid XLE but rather the made-for-Uber SE.
You miss out on some niceties, including alloy wheels, a smart key system, leather upholstery, and heated seats, but the SE trim is perfect for those who just want a car.
The SE comes with a frugal 2.0-liter naturally-aspirated engine that produces 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, sent to the front wheels via a CVT transmission. It rides on 16-inch steelies with plastic covers and has an eight-inch infotainment screen that’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible.
Even in entry-level guise, the SE has a lot going for it. It’s a handsome sedan, incredibly spacious for its size, and Toyota didn’t skimp on standard safety features.
The SE has a starting MSRP of $21,700.
