Pricing details for the limited-edition
2021 Toyota Corolla Apex Edition have been revealed, two months after the car’s
unveiling. Toyota will sell the Corolla Apex Edition in two forms. The
entry-level Apex SE will be available from US$ 26,065, including destination fees.
That makes it US$ 2,695 more expensive than a regular Corolla SE model. Buyers who
opt for the available manual transmission will need to pay an additional US$ 390
for the Apex SE.
Sitting at the top of the Apex family is
the XSE model available from US$ 29,205, Cars Direct reports. Toyota is building
6,000 examples of the Corolla Apex Edition. It stands out from other Corolla
models thanks to a custom black body kit with bronze accents, a front splitter,
fog light covers, side skirts, and a rear diffuser. Customers can also opt for
a subtle rear spoiler.
Other exterior changes include black
mirror caps and 18-inch cast-aluminum wheels that apparently aid in brake
cooling while also saving 1 kg per wheel. Elsewhere, the Apex Edition
lands with a tweaked suspension system that includes bespoke springs that lower
the ride height by 0.6 inches.
There is also an increased spring rate to
reduce the roll angle and provide better cornering and steering response. Additionally,
Toyota has fitted specially tuned shocks with internal rebound springs and new
stabilizer bars to increase rigidity. There is also a sport-tuned catback
exhaust with a 3.5-inch stainless steel tip.
All examples have a 2.0-liter Dynamic
Force engine producing 169 hp at 6,600 rpm and 205 Nm of torque.
Just 120 examples will be available with the aforementioned six-speed iMT
manual gearbox.
