2022 Toyota Corolla SE

The mid-tier SE is a popular choice with Oxnard-area Toyota Corolla buyers. That’s because it’s the most affordable trim in the lineup to offer an upgraded 2.0L engine, as well as high-end interior appointments like a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Plus, it’s one of two Corolla trim levels available as a hatchback.

If you’re not sure how to choose a Corolla configuration, Ventura Toyota is here to help! Below, we’ll be exploiting key features of the Toyota Corolla Sedan SE, how much extra cargo space you’ll get with the Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE, and how to decide between trim levels such as the Toyota Corolla LE vs. SE.

2022 Toyota Corolla Sedan SE: Key Features

The Corolla SE is available in manual or automatic configurations, and comes standard with a powerful and efficient 2.0L 4-cylinder engine. The following features are offered as standard:

• Normal and Sport driving modes (with CVT)
• Integrated backup camera with projected path
• Premium sport seats with sport fabric inserts
• Automatic climate control
• Leather-trimmed seats

Which Corolla Trim Level is Right for You?

The Corolla SE follows the LE in the trim lineup, and we often hear from buyers who are deciding between the two. Here are a few points to keep in mind as you compare the Toyota Corolla LE vs. SE trim levels:

• The LE adds key features to the entry-level Corolla L, including an 8-inch touch screen, one additional USB port, keyless entry, automatic climate control, and 16-inch steel wheels.
• Interested in a hatchback model? Only the SE and XSE trims are available as a hatchback, while the LE can only be configured as a sedan.
• The SE offers a wider range of features than the LE, including a 2.0L engine, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, 18-inch alloy wheels for Toyota Corolla Sedan SE models, and an available nine-speaker JBL sound system.

Sedan vs. Hatchback: Selecting Your Corolla SE

Need a compact vehicle with more room for cargo? The Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE is just as maneuverable as the sedan, but its open cargo area offers more room for your gear. Compare the Corolla sedan vs. hatchback cargo dimensions, below:

• Toyota Corolla Sedan SE Cargo Volume – 13.1 cubic feet
• Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE Cargo Volume – 17.8 cubic feet of cargo space with rear seats upright

Santa Barbara car-buyers will pay a bit more for the Toyota Corolla Sedan SE, which starts at $22,525 MSRP. The Toyota Corolla Hatchback SE starts at $21,915.
