2010 Toyota Corolla.

The 2010 Toyota Corolla lineup gains more standard safety features but is otherwise unchanged following its redesign for the 2009 model year. Corolla offers five trim levels. Base, LE, XLE, and S models have a 132-hp 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. The sport-themed XRS model has a 158-hp 2.4-liter 4-cylinder. Manual transmission is standard. The optional automatic transmission is a 5-speed on the XRS and a 4-speed on other Corollas. The XRS includes 17-inch wheels and 4-wheel disc brakes vs other models' 15- or 16-inch wheels and rear drum brakes. Previously optional on all but the XRS, traction control and an antiskid system are now standard across the board. Other available safety features include ABS, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. A navigation system is optional on all but the Base and LE. Leather upholstery and heated front seats are an option exclusive to S and XRS. Note that Corolla lends its basic design and powertrains to Toyota's Matrix wagon and the similar Vibe from General Motors' Pontiac division.
