2016 Toyota Corolla

Our Toyota car dealership near Chicago has a lot to celebrate this year. In particular, Classic Toyota is extremely excited about the 50th anniversary of the Toyota Corolla, a trusty car that has become a world bestseller. We realize it’s one of the most popular selections, so now is a great occasion to highlight its features and talk about a recent event.

The 2016 Toyota Corolla continues to be a crowd-pleaser due to its versatility and reliability. Across four main trim levels, there’s a lot to choose from, which enables a lot of personalization. A six-way adjustable driver seat and four-way passenger seat, Bluetooth connectivity, voice control, six speakers, and the Siri Eyes Free feature come baseline. The LE can add the Driver Convenience Package, which includes a sunroof, keyless entry, and keyless ignition. For that dash of luxury, the LE Premium trim makes the front seats heated and SofTex premium upholstery covers the interior.

What’s more, a first-generation vintage version of the Toyota Corolla is participating in the Great Race.

“The Great Race provides a perfect opportunity to celebrate the spirit of Corolla, the world’s all-time best-selling car and still one of the top-sellers in the U.S., while also recognizing Toyota’s racing heritage and having some fun along the way,” said John Myers, Vehicle Marketing and Communications National Manager, in a press release.

Spanning from northern California and winding up in Illinois, the Great Race showcases vintage cars dating from as far as 1916. The 1970 Toyota Corolla sedan is piloted by Jamie Bestwick, 13-time X Games gold medal winner in BMX Vert and SCORE Baja 1000 veteran.
