Toyota Corolla Furia concept from Detroit auto show.
The 2014 Toyota Corolla arrives in dealerships later this year, but some bits of information about the big seller have leaked through a Kansas dealer to Car and Driver.
The Corolla will stick with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine, but will add Toyota's Valvematic variable valve timing, which may add a few ponies. A four-speed automatic will be standard on base models, while a six-speed manual will also be offered, replacing the old five-speed . Higher-priced trims will use a CVT.
Styling, according to C&D, will be a cross between the angular Furia concept we saw at the Detroit auto show and the mundane Camry. The dealer also says that the interior will receive a handful of welcome upgrades.
Four trim levels will be offered: base, LE, S and Eco. We assume some sort of hybrid model is in the cards, and fuel economy will probably grow.
The current Corolla makes 132 hp from a 1.8-liter and costs $17,025, including destination.
