2014 Corolla L Vs LE

If there’s a particular model that Toyota is best known for, it would definitely be the Toyota Corolla. Recognized as the best selling sedan of the company, Toyota produces a new year model of the Corolla on a yearly basis. Hoping to outsell its previous sales figure from the past year, the car manufacturer continues to improve the features on the Corolla as they come up with a new year model. And considering they are an affordably priced sedan, it gives them a competitive edge against other models it equals to.

Available in four trim levels, the five-passenger seating capacity of the Corolla is one of the reasons why plenty are attracted to the sedan. Except for the base L trim level, each Corolla trim (LE, LE Eco, and S) is offered in Plus and Premium sub-trims. The best selling trim is the L, because of how affordable it is. Not to mention, it comes with some notable features, despite it being the base trim option available. But despite its affordability, the L trim is largely being compared to the LE trim. Here are the differences of the two:
