Advanced Features for Better Corolla MPG

What makes the Toyota Corolla MPG possible? A variety of advanced fuel-saving technologies take fuel efficiency to the next level:

  • Transmission – All Corolla trims come standard with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which provides a wider range of gear ratios than a conventional automatic transmission. As a result, the Corolla runs at peak efficiency no matter the driving conditions in Thousand Oaks. 
  • Aerodynamic Design – The Corolla exterior design is based on wind-tunnel testing to reduce drag.
  • Variable Valve Timing – Most Corolla engines include this system, which adjusts valve timing to ensure balanced power and efficiency.

The Toyota Safety Sense™ P (TSS-P) system plays a role in efficiency, as well. Standard Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps to boost the Corolla MPG by automatically matching vehicle speed to the speed of the car ahead.
