  • The next Corolla is expected to land in 2026 with hayon, sedan and wagon bodies.
  • The options of the powertrain will probably include ice, hybrid, rechargeable and turbocharged ice, hybrid engines.
  • The Corolla GR 2027 could abandon its three cylinders for a four -cylinder turbo with up to 400 hp.

Once upon a time, Toyota Corolla was just the default answer to “What car should I buy if I don’t want to think too hard?”. Reliable, affordable and roughly as exciting as a microwave oven. But this perception took a lively turn to the left when Toyota struck his own rules book, injected a heavy dose of folia of Gazoo Racing (GR) and deployed a version inspired by the rally of its essential of the twelfth generation.

Future widows: everything we know about the Toyota Gr Corolla 2027

Now that the current E210 generation, for sale since 2018, is heading towards the end of its life cycle, all eyes are on what Toyota then planned. Will they double on daring movements or withdraw towards the suburban limits in safe and beige? Let us decompose what is known so far and speculate a little on the 13th generation Corolla.

Daring

If Toyota’s recent design language is an indication, the next Corolla will not be based in traffic. Insufficient the influence of the latest C-HR +, Prius and Camry, the next Corolla will probably have a front fairing in the shape of a acute T-shaped with LED Boomerang front lamps and a carved body. We have dressed our illustration in the GR specifications to stimulate visual attitude with carbon fiber inlays, large wheels and wild hips.

Aside, expect it to carry a glass house like the current car, but with longer rear doors to improve access to the rear seat. At the rear, we are considering slim LED rear lights, a more straight rear hatch and a lower bumper which reflects the front in its general design.

According to sources, Toyota plans to stick to the three -bodies formula: four -door sedan, five -door tailgate and station wagon (tour). However, availability will always be dependent on the market, so North American buyers should not hold their breath for the wagon. And it’s a shame because the rumor wants the tour could come in three flavors: a standard model, a variant tinged with crossover and even a full GR version. But before you excite you too much, the first reports suggest that if it is approved, the high performance wagon will be a treat only in Japan.

A futuristic interior

The interior of the new Corolla should borrow design indices from the current Prius illustrated above.

Inside, the Corolla will probably borrow generously from the New Prius, so expect a high-quality futuristic provision dominated by an enveloping dashboard, an infotainment screen of 12.3 inch and a group of digital instruments in depth (there is therefore no need for separate head display).

Naturally, Android Auto Wireless, Apple Carplay and Smartphone Charging will be standard. But Toyota could go further by integrating a generative AI, offering smarter voice commands, transparent navigation and quick responses from an interactive manual from the digital owner.

The other highlights of the table include semi -autonomous driving aids of level 2, a panoramic glass roof and a more spacious chest – all the welcome upgrades on the current configuration.

Hybrid power for the masses

Toyota is currently developing a new generation of 1.5 liter and 2.0 liter engines.

The next 1.5 -liter Toyota four -cylinder petrol engine will serve as the heart of the range. In a natural suction form, it should push around 128 horsepower (96 kW / 130 PS). A turbocharged version could increase this up to 178 hp (132 kW / 180 PS), serving functions on the two standard ice variants and a hybrid self-loading range (HEV) update. It is also a question of a rechargeable hybrid version (PHEV) with two electric motors for an additional punch and efficiency.

Recently presented as part of the new family of turbocharged and natural aspiration of Toyota, this 1.5 -liter unit was designed with neutral carbon fuels. It also has improved thermal efficiency and more compact packaging compared to the current harvest of dynamic strength engines.

As for the GR Corolla, contradictory relationships suggest two possible paths. A theory points to an evolution of the three -rate turbocharged three cylinders of current 1.6 liter, potentially adjusted to offer more than 300 horsepower.

The spicy rumor focuses on the next four -cylinder turbocharged 2.0 liters of Toyota, which would have been intended for the new Celica AWD models and other GR. In Street Trim, it is said that he raised up to 400 hp (298 kW / 406 PS), with breed versions growing beyond 600 hp. For the GR Corolla, however, it is more realistic to expect an outing somewhere in the mid -years 800, supported by an advanced AWD system to ensure that all this power effectively reaches the sidewalk.

Toyota Gr officials have clearly indicated: their sports cars will continue to offer manual transmission alongside automation. In fact, the company expects around 80% of American buyers to choose the Stick Shift version of the current GR Corolla, even after adding an automatic option last year. So, it is a safe bet that the next generation will firmly keep the manual in the range.

When will we see it?

Unfortunately, North America will not obtain the successor of the current wagon of Corolla Touring which is illustrated here.

The 13th generation corolla should make its debut in 2026, North American models arriving as cars of the 2027 model year. Sales should start shortly after revelation.

Perhaps more interesting, this is what the Corolla will face its landing. The compact cars segment has taken a hit in recent years – Ford and GM have long abandoned space, and Mazda has not made a lot of noise on a new Mazda3.

On the right side, Honda continues to pay civic sales and Korean car manufacturers are launched with the Kia K4 and Hyundai Elantra / I30. Volkswagen always has the skin in the game with golf and jetta, while European buyers can also choose from the Peugeot 308, Skoda Octavia, Opel Astra, Cupra Leon and Citroen C4, to name a few.
