Toyota Corolla Concept Takes the Bestseller to Another Level and Offers a Powertrain for Everyone

The Corolla concept features a spacious cabin and multiple powertrains including electric vehicle options to redefine the competitive sedan segment, Toyota said.

  • At the Japan Mobility Show, Toyota displayed an edgier Corolla concept at Tokyo Big Sight, emphasizing its early-stage, not yet production-ready status.
  • Facing weak sedan demand, Toyota is rethinking the Corolla, which added a hybrid model but remains a quintessential first car despite rising prices in the sedan market segment.
  • The concept's design features include pronounced rear fender haunches, a spanning light bank, and a cockpit with winged controls alongside a large, spacious front cabin.
  • With a 50-plus-year history, the Corolla has sold well over 50 million copies, and Toyota must balance the sleeker design with affordability concerns.
  • On the technical front, the company noted Toyota emphasized EV power but confirmed multiple powertrain options, including gasoline, hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric, using new generation engines and a lower, wider basic architecture at the Japan Mobility Show where Toyota Group is the largest exhibitor.
