2026 Toyota Corolla: Bold Style and Tech at a Great Price

Bold and Compact: The 2026 Toyota Corolla Offers Impressive Features and Technology

Get ready to turn heads and take control of the road with the 2026 Toyota Corolla—a car that fuses bold styling, innovative technology, and everyday reliability into one sleek, compact package. As one of the most beloved sedans on the planet, the new Corolla continues Toyota’s legacy with upgraded tech, enhanced comfort, and dynamic performance to match the modern driver’s lifestyle.

Efficient Power with Smart Engineering

The 2026 Corolla is available in three standout grades—LE, SE, and XSE. All models are powered by a 2.0L Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine that delivers 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to Toyota’s smart Dual Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i), the Corolla achieves up to an impressive 32 city / 41 highway / 35 combined MPG.

Paired with the Dynamic Shift CVT, drivers get both smooth efficiency and an engaging launch feel. With NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT drive modes—plus paddle shifters on the XSE—you can tailor your drive for every mood or road condition.

Sharper Design, Stronger Personality

On the outside, the Corolla speaks with confidence. The LE model features a refined horizontal grille, while the sportier SE and XSE boast a gloss-black mesh grille, rear sport diffuser, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Color options include stylish hues like Blueprint, Celestite, Ruby Flare Pearl, and even available two-tone finishes for the SE and XSE trims.

Inside, you’ll find a cabin designed around comfort and tech. Soft-touch materials, ergonomic controls, and available upgrades like SofTex®-trimmed seats, heated front seats, and power moonroof create a premium experience. The LE and SE feature a 6-way adjustable fabric driver’s seat, while the XSE upgrades to an 8-way power-adjustable seat with heat functionality.

Next-Level Tech and Seamless Connectivity

Tech is where the 2026 Corolla truly shines. All models come standard with an 8-inch touchscreen and Toyota Audio Multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. For those who want more, a 10.5-inch touchscreen is available on SE and standard on XSE.

Add in features like:

• Dual Bluetooth® phone connectivity
• Integrated Streaming with Apple Music® and Amazon Music
• AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot (30-day trial)
• Voice control via “Hey Toyota”
• Over-the-air updates
• Available JBL® Premium Audio (XSE): 9 speakers, subwoofer & 800W amplifier

This is infotainment designed to move with your lifestyle.

Smart Safety at Every Turn

Safety is non-negotiable, and Toyota ensures the Corolla comes loaded with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, standard across all trims. Key features include:

• Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
• Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
• Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
• Lane Tracing Assist
• Road Sign Assist & Automatic High Beams
• Proactive Driving Assist

In addition, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is now standard across the board—giving drivers even more confidence in crowded city streets and tight parking situations.

Connected Services like Safety Connect, Service Connect, and Remote Connect offer even more control via the Toyota app—whether you're checking your vehicle health or starting your car remotely.

Affordable Innovation

The 2026 Corolla is expected to arrive in dealerships by Fall 2025 with a starting MSRP of just $22,725 for the LE trim (excluding processing and handling). While the FX Edition is not offered this year, the current lineup more than makes up for it with tech-forward features and bold styling choices.
