It's a no-nonsense, straightforward compact sedan that oozes value.

While it might not be as capacious as its hatchback sibling, the 2020 Corolla sedan's trunk isn't too bad.

At 13.1 cubic feet, it's more than enough to handle a family's worth of groceries or a box's worth of flowers and mulch.

That's great in a bubble, but the Corolla's capacity actually lags behind competitors like the Honda Civic and Volkswagen Jetta.
