Trims and Powertrain

The 2026 Corolla Hybrid comes to you in three trim levels: LE, SE, and XLE. All use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder paired with Toyota’s latest hybrid-electric system and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, while the LE and SE can also be ordered with electronic all-wheel drive (AWD).

Fuel economy depends on the grade and drivetrain: the LE and XLE with FWD return 53 mpg in the city and 46 mpg on the highway, the SE is rated at 50 mpg around town and 43 mpg on the open road. With AWD, the LE carries fuel economy ratings of 51 city/44 highway and 47 city/41 highway for the SE. The Corolla Hybrid has 13.1 cubic feet of trunk space.

Standard Features

The LE starts off the Corolla Hybrid’s lineup with a slate of features that includes automatic climate control, LED exterior lighting, fabric upholstery, power exterior mirrors, and a 7-inch driver display. Other standard equipment includes remote keyless entry, a 60/40-split rear seat, a tilt-and-telescopic steering column, intermittent windshield wipers, four USB ports, and 16-inch steel wheels with covers. The available LE Premium Package brings proximity keyless entry, push-button start, wireless device charging, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

Sporty touches define the SE, with unique exterior treatments, a rear spoiler, and upgraded seats with exclusive fabric inserts. It also has proximity entry, heated power exterior mirrors, chrome exhaust tips, variable intermittent wipers, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 18-inch alloy wheels. Those who opt for the SE Premium Package will get a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless device charging, and a larger infotainment touchscreen. The XLE shifts toward comfort and refinement with a power moonroof, SofTex leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, and an eight-way power driver’s seat. A 12.3-inch digital cluster, wireless device charging, and 16-inch alloy wheels are standard.

Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology

Every Corolla Hybrid incorporates the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 technology suite. This array of driver-assistance systems consists of forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure alert with steering assist, lane tracing assist, adaptive cruise control, and road sign assist. Safety hardware covers ten airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, hill start assist control, and a rearview monitor with projected path guidelines.

Infotainment and Connectivity

The infotainment features of the ’26 Corolla Hybrid vary by trim. The LE and SE are given an 8-inch touchscreen with Toyota Audio Multimedia, while the XLE and the SE with the Premium Package step up to a 10.5-inch unit. Both setups include wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Bluetooth. Wi-Fi hotspot capability and access to Toyota connected services are also included. Audio is channeled through a six-speaker audio system, while the XLE can be upgraded to a nine-speaker JBL sound system.
