Read more2021 Toyota Corolla vs 2021 Nissan Sentra
The 2021 Toyota Corolla returns this year with its impressive lineup of engines, unique hybrid model, incredible reliability, and exceptional resale value. The 2021 Toyota Corolla is also known for its fuel economy, its safety, and its affordable starting price. It has everything you need and that is what allows it to stand out against tough competition, even brand-new models like the Sentra.
The Sentra may have been completely redesigned, but the fact remains that the Corolla is still the benchmark in the segment and still the model every other automaker wants to be. The Corolla was fully redesigned for 2020 as well, offering a host of improvements and new engine lineups.
The biggest difference both the Corolla and the Sentra is the number of options available. The Sentra has just one engine while the Corolla has three. The Sentra doesn’t offer a hybrid, the Corolla does. And that’s just the beginning.
The new Corolla and Sentra cater to five occupants with relative ease and are among the most spacious vehicles in their respective segments. Technology-wise, they also aim to please with standard 7-inch touchscreens, but the Corolla includes more technologies such as Entune.
From here, it’s all 2021 Toyota Corolla. Before detailing the Toyota’s specs, the Nissan Sentra is only available with a 149-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The hyper-popular compact Toyota can be equipped with either a 139-horsepower 1.8-liter or a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. The latter will give you more power and improved performance in almost every way. More importantly, the 2021 Corolla is more efficient than the Sentra despite having more power with an average fuel economy rating of less than 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres.
That said, if efficiency is important to you, the 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid version is the way to go. With Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system mated to a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine, the hybrid consumes, on average, as little as 4.4 litres/city and 4.5 litres/highway per 100 km of fuel. Nothing beats the Corolla hybrid in the segment.
The 2021 Toyota Corolla is and will continue to be a best-seller.
