2028 Toyota CorollatoyotaCould go hybrid-onlyEye-catching design expectedUpgraded tech likelyMight look better than it drivesHigher price likelyBetter than Prius?The Corolla could enter its 13th generation for 2028, potentially transforming Toyota's best-known compact after nearly a decade with the current model. Previews indicate this popular compact sedan could get major changes. Here's what we think you can expect from the upcoming 2028 Corolla.What's NewA striking concept shown at the Japan Mobility Show hints at a sleeker, more aggressively styled Corolla sedan, while its 1.5-liter hybrid powertrain suggests Toyota may be preparing an even broader electrified strategy for the widely purchased nameplate. The production car's design, powertrains, body styles, and U.S. availability remain unconfirmed.This page will be updated with more insights and photos as information becomes available.Top-Ranked Competitors:Honda Civic HybridKia NiroHyundai Elantra HybridToyota PriusWildly Styled Corolla ConceptThe current Corolla has a somewhat edgy look, and the next-generation model could be even more angular. If the Corolla concept Toyota showed at the 2025 Japan Mobility show is any indication, the future car could have pointy LED headlights, a dramatic sloping window line, and prominently creased bodywork.Expect the production Corolla to be toned down from the concept but still an eye-catcher.All-Hybrid Engines?Don't be surprised if the 2028 Corolla goes hybrid-only. Toyota has already moved the Camry and RAV4 to hybrid-only lineups, although gas-powered Corolla models will continue for 2027. The next-generation Corolla could continue with a familiar hybrid formula, but Toyota may also expand the lineup with additional electrified powertrains. An AWD option should remain possible.Sedan or Hatchback?The Corolla is perhaps best known as a small sedan, but the hatchback body style makes the current car more practical. Toyota has confirmed the hatchback for 2027, but it's unclear if the body style will continue into the next generation. What Toyota has shown in concept form indicates there will be a four-door sedan, and we'll hope a five-door hatchback version stays in the mix.Is Toyota Canceling the GR Corolla?Hopefully not. The sporty GR Corolla is a fun hot hatchback, and Toyota would dismay enthusiasts if it got canceled. What could happen is that the GR Corolla could go on hiatus as regular versions of the new car roll out, and then a next-generation model would arrive a few years later. The next-generation GR Corolla could use hybrid power like every other 2028 Corolla is likely to, or it might be the exception to that rule.When and How Much?Since the current Corolla is confirmed for 2027, a redesigned model could arrive as early as 2028. Timing and details are still unconfirmed, but we expect pricing to start around $27,000, up from roughly $26,500 for the 2027 Corolla Hybrid LE with destination.
