Toyota Corolla Engines and Transmissions

Toyota Corolla engine choices include gasoline Liftback versions: the front-wheel-drive 1.3 AT eases stop-start driving, while the 1.3 MT gives you control over gear changes. Another example, the diesel 2.0 MT Sedan, combines a manual transmission with all-wheel drive for added traction when grip is limited.
