2023 Toyota Corolla specs

Model Preview

For 2023, Toyota has made a few changes to the Corolla. While the compact car is mostly a carryover model, it benefits from a slightly updated design, a revised lineup, a new standard engine, Toyota’s Safety Sense 3.0 suite of safety features, and an updated infotainment system. The largest change to the Corolla is the introduction of the new 2023 GR Corolla, which is a hot hatchback that’s aimed at track use. Compared to the regular Corolla, the GR Corolla comes with a more powerful engine, an advanced all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, and high-performance components.

The Corolla Hybrid and Corolla Cross are covered separately.

The 2023 Corolla arrives with a few exterior styling tweaks. The sedan body style gets a revised front fascia, LED daytime running lights, as well as redesigned LED headlights. The sporty SE and XSE trims benefit from a new diffuser and new 18-inch wheels. The Corolla hatchback gets a redesigned front grille, a body-color rear bumper, revised LED headlights, and new optional 18-inch wheels. The high-performance GR Corolla features an aggressive body kit with a wide stance, angry lines, enormous vents, and a unique tri-outlet exhaust system.

On the inside, the 2023 Toyota Corolla will share the same overall design as the current model on sale. Both the sedan and hatchback have a streamlined look with a simple horizontal dashboard. The infotainment system is placed in the middle of the dashboard but sits in front of the dash. Toyota includes physical controls for both the infotainment and HVAC systems. While the new 2023 GR Corolla shares a similar design to the regular Corolla, the sporty hatchback has racier seats, aluminum pedal covers, and sportier trim. The Morizo Edition will be the sportiest of the GR Corollas without any rear seats and rear speakers to save weight.

Every Corolla now comes with an updated infotainment system for 2023. The compact car has a redesigned 8-inch infotainment system, while the vehicle’s digital gauge cluster has been updated. The available 7-inch digital instrument cluster has also been redesigned. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are now standard. Available features should include a wireless charging pad, nine audio speakers, navigation, and a Wi-Fi hot spot.

Toyota has discontinued the Corolla’s previous standard engine. Instead, all Corollas will come with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Output is rated at 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) are available. Toyota has updated the CVT for improved performance when taking off from a stop. The 2023 GR Corolla will be powered by a turbocharged 1.6-liter three-cylinder engine that makes up to 300 hp. A six-speed manual transmission and Toyota’s GR-Four AWD system are standard for the GT Corolla.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla now comes with the automaker’s Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite. Standard safety features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition, and automatic high-beam assist. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert should be optional.

Pricing & Release Date

We expect the 2023 Toyota Corolla to go on sale this summer. Based on the changes Toyota has made, pricing for the compact car should be slightly higher than the current model. The sedan currently ranges from $21,450 to $29,735 (with destination). The highest increase will come from the discontinuation of the current L trim. The hatchback starts at $22,190 and goes up to $25,140.

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2023 GR Corolla. The hot hatchback will start at $36,995 (with destination) and go up to $50,995 for the Morizo Edition. The base Core trim will go on sale before the end of this year, while the Circuit and Morizo Edition won’t arrive until next year.

The 2023 Toyota Corolla will compete against the Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, Mazda3, Volkswagen Jetta, and Nissan Sentra. The GR Corolla will compete against the Honda Civic Type R, Volkswagen Golf R, and Hyundai Elantra N.
