The 2026 Toyota Corolla is an affordable sedan for driving enthusiasts. With two efficient powertrain options, you can easily customize it to suit your needs or preferences.
Why the 2026 Toyota Corolla Stands Out in Its Class
Introducing the 2026 Toyota Corolla
The 2026 Corolla is an easy-going sedan designed for daily driving. It is available in three gas and three hybrid trim levels, all of which deliver sporty curb appeal. The entry-level LE trim sets a solid base with stylish 16-inch steel wheels, LED exterior lights, and color-keyed side mirrors and door handles. Sportier styling accents, such as a sport mesh front grille, side rocker panels, and a rear spoiler, are standard on most upper trims.
A great choice for first-time drivers, the new Corolla comes packed with advanced driver assistance technologies, including a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alerts, which is now standard on all trims. The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 also enhances your safety with collision-prevention and lane-management systems, automatic emergency braking, and road sign assistance.
Powertrains and Performance
Those seeking an affordable and spirited ride can’t go wrong with Corolla’s base gas powertrain, which pairs a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with a Dynamic-Shift continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive. This system churns out 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, and you can expect exceptional fuel economy ratings of 32 MPG in the city and 41 MPG on the highway.
To save more at the pump, opt for the available hybrid powertrain, which pairs a 96-hp 1.8L 4-cylinder engine with an electric system for a total net output of 138 horsepower and fuel economy ratings of 50 MPG in the city and 43 MPG on the highway. Front-wheel drive is standard on all hybrid models, but select trims can be customized with available all-wheel drive if you need more traction on wet or snow-covered roads.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The practical interior comes with fabric seating surfaces and manually adjustable front seats for added comfort. You can also adjust the position of the steering wheel, which makes it easier to maintain a natural driving posture. Front and rear cupholders and door pockets provide plenty of storage for loose items, and the rear bench has a convenient 60/40 split-folding design, allowing you to expand the trunk behind the front seats.
Behind the steering wheel, a seven-inch digital gauge makes it easy to check essential driving information. The infotainment system comes standard with an eight-inch touchscreen and is compatible with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It also includes SiriusXM with a complimentary three-month trial. To enhance your driving experience, you can also activate the subscription-based connected services, which include an in-cabin Wi-Fi hotspot.
