Comfort Features
All models now feature a new and improved 4.2-inch gauge cluster in addition to the 7.0-inch cluster seen in the XSE.
The SE, XSE, and XLE trims all get new headlights, and the rest of the Corolla lineup gets LED daytime driving lights. Both the SE and XSE get new 18-inch dark grey alloy wheels and a rear bumper.
One other thing to keep in mind is that neither the L nor the LE has smart keys or a push-button starter. Only the upper-level models and the XSE include steering wheel heating.
