How to Calculate The Dealer Cost of a Toyota Corolla
Formula for Calculating Dealer Cost:
- Example: Base Toyota Corolla invoice price + the dealer Invoice price of all the options + destination - Holdback = Total Dealer Cost.
- What is Holdback? A hidden amount that manufacturers give back to a dealer. It is a percentage of the MSRP or the Invoice price.
Total Dealer Cost - Rebate and Incentive + Taxes / Licensing Fees = True Dealer Cost. (You can get rebates and incentives here)

Performance and Fuel Economy
The base powertrain for the 2022 Corolla is a 1.8-liter, I4 engine with 16 valves and DOHC (dual overhead cams). It makes 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. Hybrid models also use this engine paired with an electric motor, which drops the power output down to 121 horses.

ZSE Apex Edition Corollas have increased stabilizer-bar spring rates and increased coil-spring rates. The Corolla also has Electronic Power Steering and power-assisted, ventilated disc brakes.
Driving Impressions
The Corolla is no sports car, but there's more than enough power for good acceleration from a dead stop. The car handles nicely too. The CVT operates so smoothly that it may seem strange at first when the driver realizes there are no sudden gear shifts to be felt. The ride quality is comfortable and smooth as well. The suspension system negates most road bumps, and it's adequately quiet inside of the cabin.

On the inside, the higher trim levels get 8-way power seats with lumbar support. There's also available heating for the seats up front. Sedan versions of the Corolla have a 60/40 split fold-down seat in the rear. All models get power locks with an auto-lock feature. They also all get power windows with a one-touch, up-and-down feature.
Toyota's Smart Key System, along with push-button start and remote keyless entry, are all standard features across trim levels. There's a center console with a storage compartment. There are four cup holders with a pair in front and a pair in back. There are also USB 2.0 ports in front and back so that everyone can charge their smartphones and other devices.
The sun visors all get vanity mirrors. There are map lights up front. All trims come with automatic climate control and an air filter that removes dust and pollen from the interior of the car. The XSE and XSE Apex get a leather-wrapped steering wheel with paddle shifters. Ambient interior lighting is also available to set just the right mood inside of the Corolla.
The Corolla's multimedia system has an 8-inch touchscreen display. Most models have a 6-speaker system for the audio. A 9-speaker system by JBL is also offered for the serious music fans. The upgraded audio system also comes with a subwoofer and an amplifier for amazing bass sounds and volume. The multimedia system for all trims is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

A note about rebates: Most rebates are subtracted from the "on the road" figure. In most cases, you can have the rebate if you are arranging your own financing or you are paying cash. If you decide to use the manufacturer’s low interest financing, you do not usually get the rebate. Ask your dealer for details.
