2026 Toyota Corolla

The 2026 Toyota Corolla offers several trims, each catering to different driving needs. The base L trim provides all the essentials, including LED headlights and Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0. The LE trim adds convenience features like automatic climate control and a larger touchscreen display. For those seeking a sportier look and performance, the SE trim comes with sporty styling elements and a sport-tuned suspension. The XLE trim elevates the Corolla with premium features like SofTex-trimmed seats and a power-adjustable driver's seat. The XSE trim combines the best of both worlds, offering a sporty design alongside luxury amenities.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla is equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that delivers 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, providing a balanced and responsive driving experience. This engine is paired with the Dynamic-Shift Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), which includes a "physical first gear" for improved acceleration and a more engaging driving experience. The combination of the 2.0L engine and CVT offers excellent fuel efficiency, achieving up to 32 mpg city and 41 mpg highway. While the 6-speed manual transmission was available in previous models, the 2026 Corolla primarily features the CVT, offering a smoother and more fuel-efficient driving experience. For those seeking even higher fuel efficiency, a 1.8-liter hybrid powertrain is available, providing an impressive 50 mpg combined, making it an ideal choice for those focused on eco-friendly driving without sacrificing performance.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla provides a refined and smooth driving experience, combining performance and efficiency in a way that few compact cars can match. The standard 2.0-liter engine and CVT offer excellent fuel economy, making the Corolla an ideal choice for daily commutes and long-distance drives. The Corolla’s suspension system is designed for comfort and stability, whether navigating tight corners or cruising on the highway. For those looking for a more spirited driving experience, the SE trim features a sport-tuned suspension that enhances handling and provides a more dynamic, responsive ride.

The 2026 Toyota Corolla features a thoughtfully designed interior that prioritizes both comfort and practicality, with seating for up to five passengers and 88.6 cu. ft. of passenger volume and a 13.1 cu. ft. trunk for cargo. Premium materials like SofTex-trimmed seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are available on higher trims such as the XSE, while features like dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats are offered on select trims for added comfort. The standard 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system on the LE and SE trims (with a larger 10.5-inch screen on the XSE) includes wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and cloud-based navigation. Additionally, all 2026 Corolla models come with a digital gauge cluster, ranging from 7.0 inches on the LE and SE trims to 12.3 inches on the XSE. The FX Edition Corolla Hatchback introduces sporty sport seats with orange contrast stitching, and blind-spot monitoring is now standard on all models, enhancing both style and safety.

Safety is a top priority in the 2026 Toyota Corolla, and it comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 as standard. This suite includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Road Sign Assist, all designed to protect the driver and passengers. Additional advanced safety features are available in higher trims, such as the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking. These systems provide added peace of mind and help prevent accidents, making the Corolla one of the safest compact cars on the market.
