Toyota Corolla has been around for a long time and has consistently provided drivers with impressive performance. The latest  Corolla packs a 2.0L four-cylinder engine that produces 151 pound-feet of torque and 169 horsepower. Under the hood of the hybrid models, there is a 1.8L four-cylinder engine that works in tandem with two electric motors. The sedan variants are also available as electric hybrids for people who prefer green cars.

Interior

The new Toyota Corolla offers an easy-to-adjust layout. The interior of the lineup does not unnecessarily complicate the car’s usability. The controls are rightly placed without making knobs or buttons difficult to locate.

Fuel economy

The complete Toyota Corolla lineup provides an impressive lineup with each model. According to EPA ratings, the 2025 Toyota Corolla LE offers 32 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. This means the combined mileage expected from the car model is 35 mpg. The hybrid engines, on the other hand, have a combined 50 mpg. In the city, the hybrid is expected to provide 53 mpg and 46 on the highway. These numbers see a small dip when one chooses to drive an all-wheel hybrid Corolla. In that case, the EPA ratings are 48 mpg combined. In the city, the ride offers 51 mpg or 44 mpg on the highway.

Safety

Safety remains a cornerstone of the Corolla’s design. Most features offered here are similar to the ones present in its predecessors. The Toyota Corolla 2025 lineup comes with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite as a standard inclusion. This suite includes safety aspects such as forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high beam. The lineup also has optional front and rear parking sensors. The reason for not standardizing this is that the adaptive front lights included in the lineup resulted in the lights turning in the direction the car is turning. Additional features like blind-spot monitoring and RCTA (rear cross-traffic alert) are available through optional packages on the LE and SE trims.

Variants and Pricin g

The new Toyota Corolla includes sedans, hatchbacks, and hybrid models. The lineup offers a range of variants to cater to diverse driver preferences, each equipped with distinct features and enhancements. The latest Corolla lineup has a standard 15-inch or 16-inch rims. However, the SE and XSE differentiate themselves from the rest of the lineup with 18-inch rims . Some people may appreciate the performance of the hybrid models because of the higher swiftness.

1) LE

The LE is the base model in the new lineup, with a starting price of $22,325. It comes with a 2L four-cylinder engine. It is packed with a solid foundation of essential features such as dynamic-shift continuously variable transmission, remote keyless entry, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration, automatic climate control, and an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Along with the 16-inch steel rims, the car also includes Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It offers adaptive cruise control, forward collision mitigation, lane departure mitigation, and lane-keeping assistance.

2) SE

Building upon the LE, the next variant in the lineup is the SE. This is where Toyota introduces sporty enhancements in the new drop. The car has 18-inch dark gray alloy wheels with a sport-tuned suspension for improved handling. The model’s exterior further delivers sporty goodness with trim accents. Another notable feature is the heated outside mirrors. The SE starts off at $24,765 and can go higher based on the features one chooses to add on. A leather-trimmed steering wheel with paddle shifters, sport-bolstered front seats, sport driving mode, and push-button start are only a handful of things that make this trim level attractive for buyers.

3) FX

The FX offers unique styling and performance tweaks. It has the same 18-inch wheels painted in black. The outside is also accented with black trims, badges, and a black roof. FX has lower springs for a reduced ride height, further enhancing the car’s sporty appeal. One can also experience enhanced car responsiveness with the trim featuring re-tuned electric power steering. The inside has unique cloth upholstery, giving it an edge over the other trims. Even the infotainment screen here receives an upgrade to 10.5 inches. The FX is priced at $26,650 and can climb higher.

4) XSE

As a top-tier model, the XSE combines luxury with performance. The trim’s mirror and sunroof can be matched to the car’s chosen body color. More than 10 color options are listed on the manufacturer’s official website. Inside, one can expect heated front seats, a digital instrument panel, a 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen, and a wireless charging pad. The Starting price of the XSE is set at $28,040.

Additionally, certain standard features on the XSE, such as the sunroof and wireless charging pad, are available as options on the LE and SE trims. A premium JBL sound system is also optional on the FX Special Edition and XSE trims.

The three Hybrid trims—LE, SE, and XLE—have a starting price of $23,825, $26,265, and $28,190, respectively.
