Toyota’s American division has announced pricing for the 2017 Corolla, Corolla iM, and for the 2017 86 sports car.
Those of you that have been paying attention to the automotive industry know that Toyota has decided to discontinue the Scion brand, so a few of its models were carried over to the principal division. This means that the Scion FR-S became the Toyota 86, and the Scion iM was transformed into the Toyota Corolla iM.

With the brand shift, the sports coupe from Toyota gets a different front bumper, which now has a larger central air intake. The headlamps are LED units as standard, and the daytime running lights and turn signals have also been revised. Toyota fitted a new bezel for the fog lamps, and the entire bumper was redesigned to furnish the modifications.

The changes are not restricted to the 86’s front, as the car is now available with new alloy wheel designs, as well as a set of badges. Once inside, occupants will find a dash dressed in “Granlux,” and the same material is fitted to the door cards.

Toyota says it chose it because it is softer and has a premium feel to it. The seats have a different lining, and their upholstery is decorated with silver stitching. The steering wheel of the sporty coupe from Toyota now has an 86 logo on the center hub, as well as a set of audio controls.

Toyota has altered the differential gear ratio of the six-speed manual gearbox, and the engine has more torque (156 lb-ft in total), as well as five extra horses. All versions of the Toyota 86 get Hill Start Assist Control as standard. Other enhancements include a revised setting for the shock absorbers and spring rates.

The 2017 Toyota 86 starts at $26,255 with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the six-speed automatic model costs $26,975. Compared to the Scion, the price of the manual version has increased by $950, while the automatic transmission version’s price has grown by $570. If you think in perspective, this is a minute increase of 3.8% for the manual, and 2.2% for the automatic, so there is nothing out of the ordinary there.

Toyota’s 2017 Corolla starts at $18,500 for the L CVT equipment level with a CVT transmission. The XSE equipment grade will cost $22,680 for the 2017 Corolla. The overall average increase in MSRP is 1.5 percent, which translates to approximately $281 for the 2017 Corolla range. We have covered the 2017 Toyota Corolla here.

The 2017 Toyota Corolla iM, another re-badged Scion model that was derived from Toyota from the start, now starts at $18,750 for the six-speed manual, which means $290 extra. The CVTi-S Automatic version is also more expensive than the Scion version by $290, and it starts at $19,490.

We must note that the MSRPs mentioned above do not include processing, delivery, and handling, which may vary depending on the state where the customer resides. Toyota will bring the 2017 86 and Corolla iM models into its showrooms starting later this month, while the 2017 Corolla will come in early September.
