The 2026 Toyota Corolla delivers dependable efficiency and advanced safety technology with a starting MSRP of $22,725. Whether you commute through San Juan Capistrano, Dana Point, or Mission Viejo, this compact sedan combines everyday practicality with Toyota’s reputation for long-term reliability.
Every gas-powered 2026 Corolla — LE, SE, and XSE — comes standard with a 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder engine producing 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The LE achieves an estimated 32 city / 41 highway / 35 combined MPG, making it one of the most fuel-efficient options in its class. Drivers seeking even greater efficiency can explore the Corolla Hybrid lineup, which pairs a 1.8-liter engine with an electric motor for 138 horsepower and an estimated 50 MPG combined on the Hybrid LE.
The Corolla LE includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 as standard equipment. The SE adds 18-inch aluminum wheels, a sport-tuned rear suspension, push-button start, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sportier exterior design. The XSE elevates the experience with a 10.5-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, SofTex-trimmed sport seats, heated front seats, and available paddle shifters.
New for 2026, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is now standard on every Corolla trim.
