Next-generation Toyota Corolla expected in 2026

Toyota is aiming at a driving range of 2,100 km from the upcoming Corolla PHEV.

According to media reports, Toyota is said to be working on the next-generation iteration of its most popular sedan, the Corolla.

The new-gen Toyota Corolla will feature a host of upgrades, both in terms of design and powertrain, and is expected to make its global debut sometime in 2026.

The upcoming Corolla could borrow BYD's hybrid powertrain, allowing for a driving range almost 3 times more than that of a conventional ICE unit. As per reports, Toyota is aiming at a driving range of 2,100 km from the upcoming Corolla PHEV. To help achieve this, the car will come powered by a new and highly efficient 1.5-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine, paired with BYD's latest hybrid tech.

The 1.5-litre unit is part of Toyota's new engine family, which also consists of a 1.5-litre non-turbo unit and a 2.0-litre turbocharged version for the sports models.
