What's New for 2021?

Myers Auto offers a variety of new 2021 Toyota Corolla models for sale in Ottawa. The Corolla is one of the few sedans that are still offered with a six-speed manual transmission (6M) while the other models feature a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

 

Every model of the 2021 Toyota Corolla is built with LED taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assist features.

 

The SE model, priced starting at $22,590 for the 6M and $23,590 for the CVT, offers the best value for drivers, especially ones that want a bit more power in their Corolla. These models include a more powerful 2.0-litre engine, sport fabric seats, smart key and push button start, heated front seats, Bi-LED headlamps, and blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert.

Performance

Both the manual and automatic transmission models pair with the same engine on most trim levels--a 1.8-litre four-cylinder DOH engine that delivers 139 horsepower. The manual gets fuel economy of 8.0 L/100km in the city and 6.0 L/100km on the highway, while the automatic is almost the same at 7.9 and 6.1, respectively.

 

The sportier SE and XSE models receive a 2.0-litre four-cylinder DOH engine that delivers 169 horsepower that improves acceleration. Ride quality is amplified through a sport-tuned suspension (on both) and larger 18-inch wheels (on the XSE). The sportier engine lowers fuel economy only slightly--8.2 L/100km city and 6.5 L/100km highway for the manual transmission and 7.7 and 6.1 for the CVT.
