Toyota Corolla Trim Packages

The Toyota Corolla has a history spanning decades – it was introduced in 1966. Between 1995 and 2019, there were five different Corolla generations: generations eight through twelve.

The eighth generation, the 1995-1999 Toyota Corolla, came in three trim levels: VE, CE, and LE. The VE was the Corolla’s base trim, while the CE and LE were luxury trims. The next generation dropped the VE trim; the Corolla CE (Classic Edition) was now its base trim. The LE (Luxury Edition) was still its luxury trim, and now there was an additional trim option: S (Sport) with a sportier front bumper, rear bumper, and side skirts.

The tenth generation added two new trim levels alongside the previous three: XLE and XRS. The LE and S trims performed largely the same with some physical differences, including a spoiler featured on the S option. The XLE and XRS trims were designed as a step up to the existing LE and S trims and included exclusive options like automatic climate control. These upscale trim levels only existed for the 2006-2011 Toyota Corolla before being discontinued, but eventually made a comeback in the twelfth generation.

The LE and S trims continue to be standard fixtures for each successive generation of Toyota Corolla. The eleventh-generation Corolla has its own unique trim levels: the Corolla L, its new base model, and the LE Eco, a fuel-efficient trim.

Evolution of the Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla is well known for its simplicity. Consumers love the Corolla because of its ability to deliver reliable transportation, and its lack of extra frills makes it an affordable option for drivers. Because of its reputation for simplicity and reliability, the Corolla doesn’t change dramatically from year to year. From generation to generation, the Corolla was made roomier and taller. 

The Corolla is also well-known for its fuel efficiency, and over the years Toyota has made plenty of innovations towards improving fuel economy. The tenth generation (which is roughly the 2006-2011 Toyota Corolla) improved fuel economy by switching out the car’s hydraulic pump for an electric-power-steering unit. The eleventh generation had the LE Eco trim –a unique trim that featured an ECO mode setting. The ECO mode was designed to improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency by reducing engine power. The twelfth generation was the first Corolla to offer a hybrid engine.
