Toyota unveils 13th-gen Corolla concept with electric options, set for 2026 global launch.

The 13th-generation Toyota Corolla has been unveiled as a concept car at the 2025 Tokyo Motor Show, featuring a bold, sportier design with a long raked windshield, triangular LED headlights, and integrated rear spoiler. Developed by Toyota’s ED2 studio in France, the concept previews multiple powertrain options, including a potential battery-electric variant, while maintaining interior space and functionality. Though not confirmed for production, the next Corolla is expected to launch globally in 2026 and reach Australia in 2027, likely built on the current TNGA platform and continuing the popular 1.8-liter hybrid powertrain, possibly with a future GR performance model. The Corolla remains the world’s best-selling car nameplate, with over 50 million units sold since 1966, though its sales in Australia have declined relative to SUVs and trucks.
