Toyota's 13th Generation Corolla Sedan Leaked, to Introduce Plug-in Hybrid System for the First Time
On January 4th, automotive media carscoops published a post reporting that Toyota will introduce a plug-in hybrid system (PHEV) in the 13th generation Corolla for the first time.
The current 12th generation Corolla, which has been on the market since 2018 and received a minor facelift in 2022, is expected to be succeeded by the 13th generation in 2026. The new model is anticipated to have a more modern design and a more diversified powertrain selection, along with improved performance.
According to sources, the new Corolla will draw design elements from models like the Crown Sport, featuring a hammerhead front, slim headlights, a thinner grille, and sporty bumper intakes. The rear will sport a through-style taillight and a sculpted tailgate, giving the car a sharper and more modern overall style.
Inside, the new Corolla is expected to feature an all-new digital cockpit, a larger infotainment display, enhanced connectivity, and standard advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
Powerwise, the new Corolla is built on an upgraded TNGA-C platform and is expected to offer a range of options including petrol, hybrid, and high-performance versions.
