Economy car, and proud of it
For decades, the Toyota Corolla has been nearly synonymous with the term "economy car" — and that's not a knock. Shoppers can choose between a sedan or hatchback body style across five trim levels, with a 169-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder and CVT serving as the standard powertrain. Sedan buyers can also step up to a hybrid setup for meaningfully better fuel economy.
Neither body style is going to get anyone's pulse racing, but the ride is pleasant and standard safety features are plentiful across the lineup. A reasonable purchase price, wallet-friendly fuel economy (especially in hybrid form), and an easy-to-park footprint explain why the Corolla has earned its reputation the honest way.
The 2027 Corolla rolls into the new model year with no changes to the sedan or hatchback. For shoppers who want more performance, the rally-inspired GR Corolla and SUV-styled Corolla Cross are sold separately and reviewed on their own.

- Sticker-price affordability
- Hybrid sedan rated up to 50 mpg combined
Worth Knowing
