Whether you’ve been a Corolla fan for years or have never driven one before, we’re here to share highlights of the new 2025 Toyota Corolla — including the addition of a new trim level, the Corolla FX special edition.

Outstanding Fuel Efficiency

The 2025 Toyota Corolla lineup features seven trim levels to choose from, including three hybrid models:

  • LE
  • SE
  • FX (new for 2025!)
  • XSE
  • Hybrid LE
  • Hybrid SE
  • Hybrid XLE

Gas-only models are equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. Hybrid models are equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 138 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque. While most models in the 2025 lineup come with the Corolla’s front-wheel drive system, the Hybrid LE and Hybrid SE offer the option of all-wheel drive.

Not only does the Toyota Corolla offer a low starting price point, but drivers can expect to spend less money at the pump, too — especially with a hybrid model! Here’s a breakdown of each model’s mileage estimates (city/highway/combined):

  • LE: 32/41/35 MPG*
  • SE: 31/40/34 MPG*
  • FX: 31/39/34 MPG*
  • XSE: 31/38/34 MPG*
  • Hybrid LE (FWD): 53/46/50 MPG*
  • Hybrid LE (AWD): 51/44/48 MPG*
  • Hybrid SE (FWD): 50/43/47 MPG*
  • Hybrid SE (AWD): 47/41/44 MPG*
  • Hybrid XLE: 53/46/50 MPG*

No matter which trim level you decide on, get ready to go farther with fewer stops to fill up!

Comfortable Interior Design

Drivers and passengers have a comfortable, convenient, and connected driving experience to look forward to. The 2025 Toyota Corolla cabin offers amenities like available heated driver and front passenger seats, available wireless smartphone charging, and two rear and two front USB-C ports. An eight-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen comes standard on the LE, SE, Hybrid LE, and Hybrid SE, but is replaced by a 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen in the rest of the trim levels. A nine-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system, including an amplifier and a subwoofer, is available on select trim levels to enhance your favorite playlists, podcasts, or audiobooks.

If you upgrade to the new Corolla FX special edition, Moonstone sport fabric seats with orange stitching add a special touch.

Stylish Exterior Design

This 2025 sedan’s sleek silhouette is complemented by wheels like 16-inch steel wheels with covers, 16-inch alloy wheels, 18-inch alloy wheels with graphite-colored finish, and 18-inch satin black-finished alloy wheels with machined accents, depending on the trim level.
