Which Corolla has navigation?
Before we dive into which Corolla trim levels have which navigation systems, we should first understand the difference between connected navigation and dynamic navigation. For instance, Entune Audio and Entune Audio Plus come with what is called “connected navigation”. This means that in order to get navigation on your vehicle’s Entune system, you must download the Scout GPS Link app on your smartphone and have it plugged into your vehicle. Entune Premium Audio features “dynamic navigation”, which means you get your turn-by-turn navigation straight from your vehicle’s Entune system – no need for your smartphone.
Entune audio with connected navigation comes standard on Corolla L, LE, LE Eco and SE. Entune Audio Plus with connected navigation comes standard on Corolla LE Eco Package 1, XLE, SE (6-Speed Manual), XSE and is available in an Entune audio upgrade package on LE and SE models.
