2016 Toyota Corolla vs 2017 Toyota Corolla

2017-toyota-corolla
The 2017 model marks the 50th anniversary of the Corolla, and Toyota went all out for upgrades. There are quite a few updates from the 2016 model including more high-tech features, like a rear-view camera. 1. Exterior The basic shape is still the same, but there are a few small changes. The head and taillights have both been redesigned. The lower grille was also redone so that it now has the same shape as lower grilles on other Toyotas. 2. Engine and transmission The 2017 Corolla got an engine upgrade. Now, every trim besides the LE Eco has a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine with 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. The LE Eco’s engine can make 140 horsepower and 126 lb-ft of torque. But by far the biggest difference is that every 2017 trim has a continuously variable automatic transmission, or a CVT. While most cars shift between 4 or 6 speeds or gears as the miles per hour increases, CVTs don’t use gears at all. Instead, they keep the engine speed consistent as you accelerate. For drivers, that means a better fuel economy, even in cities. 3. Safety The 2016 Corolla was awarded 5-star rating by the government for crashes. The 2017 model hasn’t been tested yet but seems to improve upon its predecessor in every way. In addition to most standard safety features, the 2017 Corolla has collision-avoidance technology, like warnings for lane departures and forward collisions, along with automatic breaking and steering assist, rare on almost all other compact sedans. The 2017 Corolla might be more expensive than its 2016 counterpart, but that cost is more than set off by all the new features. Take advantage of them and come to Peruzzi Toyota today for a test-drive. With a large selection of 2017 Toyota Corollas, we have the vehicles you want for great prices.

Toyota Makes The List Of “Best Selling Cars Of All Time”

There are some cars that are simply iconic. We see them so often on the road that we almost take them for granted, but they’re woven into our automotive history. And for good reason. In a recent article for Autoblog.com, ten vehicles were named as the “Best Selling Cars of All Time.”  Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield, PA is thrilled that, of those ten, two Toyota models made the list. Coming in at Number Eight was the Toyota Camry. It first launched in 1982 as an affordable compact sedan. Since then, it’s grown to a comfortable midsize vehicle and now (in keeping with the sustainability trend) offers a hybrid option. Over 21 million Camrys have been sold in 100 different countries, with 13 million alone in the U.S. Topping the list at Number One – ahead of iconic vehicles like the Volkswagen Beetle and the Ford truck series – is the Toyota Corolla. This go-to car has been a hit ever since it first rolled off the assembly line in 1966. By 1974, it was the best-selling car in the world, flying out of dealerships like Peruzzi so fast, the automaker could barely keep up with demand. To date, over 44 million Corollas have been sold globally. Of all the best-selling cars in history, what makes Toyota stand out? It could be their longstanding reputation for durability and reliability. Perhaps it’s that Toyota prides itself on giving customers the little “extras” that make an affordable car feel luxurious. Or maybe it’s the automaker’s passion for safety, seen currently in the cutting-edge Toyota Safety Sense features included in every model. Whatever the reason(s), one thing is certain: Toyota’s devotion to practical luxury continues to make them a go-to choice for smart consumers. We hope you’ll stop by Peruzzi Toyota in Hatfield to check out the many options available to you!
