Buying the 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2022 Toyota Corolla XLE for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.

What to check on the Corolla

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.

Reading the spec sheet

Power comes from the 1.8L 4-cylinder, driving through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

The combined figure, 7.3 L/100 km, means roughly 22 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $113.20 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,100 a year for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

When the Corolla makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

A longer test drive

If the Corolla is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Corolla on your commute, then decide. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

The EPA estimates US$2,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.32 in fuel. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

Picking a year and a trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
