All 2017 Toyota Corolla grades have the Toyota Safety Sense-P available, which includes safety elements like pre-collision system with pedestrian detection function, dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist function, and automatic high beams.

As standard features, the 2017 Corolla comes with a backup camera, Bluetooth, Bi-LED headlamps for the L, LE, and LE Eco trim levels, and a small redesign of the interior. The SE, XSE, and XLE grades receive complex-LED headlights as standard.

Other changes brought by the facelift include audio enhancements, and an improved focus on passenger comfort. Concerning exterior design, the MY2017 Corolla features a new front grille and two supplementary exterior colors.

As we mentioned yesterday, Toyota’s 50th Anniversary Special Edition Corolla is based on the SE trim level. It builds on the standard features of that grade with exclusive details and elements. These include 50th Anniversary Edition floor mats, exterior badges, a 4.2-inch TFT multi-information display, a seven-inch touch screen, unique alloy wheels with a machine finish, and much more.

Customers can order a moonroof, and the interior features “Black Cherry” contrast stitching for the steering wheel, shift boot, center armrest, and the seat upholstery. The same color is also used for the accents of the dash panel and on the door trim.

The special edition of the 2017 Toyota Corolla will be available for order starting fall 2016. It can be had in one of just three exterior colors: Black Cherry (exclusive for this version, seen in the photo gallery), Classic Silver, and Blizzard Pearl.

Only 8,000 Toyota Corolla 50th Anniversary Special Edition cars will be sold in the USA. Toyota has not specified if it will offer this model in other markets with such a specification. Since the Corolla is popular on almost every market in the world, we expect to see more 50th Anniversary Special Edition Corollas this year.
