2021 Toyota Corolla Trim Levels

Year after year, the Toyota Corolla proves how important it is. No matter how many years have passed since it launched, the Corolla has always stayed relevant. Innovation in technology, design, and the drive experience are what make this essential compact sedan what it is. The 2021 model year is no different.

With six trim levels to choose from, the 2021 Toyota Corolla is designed to appeal to any driver that would consider it. Some trims emphasize technology, others are designed for outward appeal, and others are made to be the best of the best. Excluding the hybrid version of the Corolla, most drivers will find the right fit for them among these six trims. Each is listed below from with the base model on top, and ending with the most outfitted model. Each includes a couple of highlights to help you determine which one you should shop for.

Trim Level	Highlight 1	Highlight 2
L	LED Headlights	Integrated Backup Camera
LE	Remote Keyless Entry	Automatic Climate Control
SE	Dynamic-Shift CVT with Paddle Shifters	Premium Sports Seats with Fabric Inserts
SE Nightshade Edition	Black Sport Side Rocker Panels and Rear Spoiler	Black Toyota Emblems and Rear Badges

XSE	18-Inch Machined Alloy Wheels	Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof with Sliding Sunshade

Trim Level Comparison

The range of starting MSRPs between the L and XSE trim is just shy of $6,000. That difference brings a wealth of other features, listed below. The LE trim is the only trim that translates over to the hybrid powertrain. The SE Nightshade Edition is mostly focused on offering a black-themed aesthetic to the SE trim that already exists. The most popular trims will likely be the LE for its balance of low price and enhanced features over the L trim, or the SE since it sits right in the middle of the trim level list.
