What’s the difference between the Toyota Corolla LE and SE?

How are the Toyota Corolla LE and SE different? I’m trying to choose between them for my next car but they seem very similar to me.

The main difference between the
Toyota Corolla LE
and
SE
is that the SE has a more powerful engine.
The Corolla LE, which has a starting MSRP of $20,525, has the base Corolla engine: a 1.8-liter inline-four engine that’s capable of producing 139 horsepower and 126 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the Corolla SE, which has a starting MSRP of $22,525, has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that’s capable of producing 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. This makes the SE quite a bit more powerful than the LE.
