Toyota included an impressive array of standard infotainment features—including Entune™ 3.0—in its base Corolla L. This should mean big things for the 2020 Toyota Tacoma.

As a company totally immersed in the world of in-vehicle infotainment, it hasn't been lost on us that Toyota seemed to be behind the curve with infotainment features and options.

2020 Tacoma Interior—Predicting the Future Based on the 2020 Corolla

Toyota revealed the new 2020 Corolla at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show. Toyota's new standard in-vehicle infotainment packages for the company's most base model, tells us the company saw the weakness and had been working hard to overcome their deficiencies.

With so many standard features in the base trim package of the automaker's lowest-end model, one can only wonder what surprises might be ahead for more high-end Toyota models such as the Tacoma.

If you purchase the base model Corolla L, you get the 7-inch touch screen. All other higher-end Corolla models come with a standard 8-inch touch screen.

With such a generous infotainment package for the Corolla, would it be outlandish to believe Toyota might include something game-changing like the RAM 12-inch touch screen?

We can only guess, but here's some details on what Toyota will offer in its 2020 Corolla infotainment packages. It would probably be safe to assume that the 2020 Toyota Tacoma packages would be at least on par if not more feature-packed than lower-end Toyota Corolla models.
