Key Features of the 2026 Toyota Corolla

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Every Corolla includes Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, a comprehensive suite that helps you stay aware and supported. The system features Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD), Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA), Automatic High Beams (AHB), and Road Sign Assist (RSA). These technologies work together to help recognize potential hazards, assist with steering and following distance, and support visibility when conditions change. Available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA), color-keyed heated power outside mirrors with BSM indicators, plus an integrated backup camera with projected path add even more confidence when maneuvering in traffic or backing out of tight spaces. With ten airbags, front and rear energy-absorbing crumple zones, and high-tensile-strength steel body panels, Corolla is engineered to help protect you and your passengers on every drive.

12.3-in. Digital Gauge Cluster

An available 12.3-in. Digital Gauge Cluster gives the cabin a modern, upscale feel while keeping key information front and center. You can view speed, powertrain data, active safety status, turn-by-turn directions, audio details, and essential vehicle alerts in clean, high-resolution graphics. The layout is designed to minimize distraction—crisp, legible text and thoughtfully arranged data make it easy to scan at a glance. On select grades, you can toggle views to prioritize the info you use most, whether you want a focused performance look for highway trips or a broader overview for around-town use. Paired with features like available paddle shifters on sport-oriented grades and a leather-trimmed steering wheel, the digital cluster complements Corolla’s driver-centric cockpit with technology that feels both advanced and effortless.

Toyota Audio Multimedia with 10.5-in. Touchscreen

Corolla’s Toyota Audio Multimedia system was designed to keep you connected and in control. The available 10.5-in touchscreen offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, so your favorite apps, playlists, and maps are only a tap away—no cords needed. A natural-language Intelligent Assistant responds to “Hey, Toyota” for hands-on-the-wheel convenience, while available Drive Connect offers Cloud Navigation with Google Points of Interest (POI) data and Destination Assist (subscription required; trial periods vary by grade). With Wi-Fi Connect you can enable an AT&T hotspot and Integrated Streaming for Apple Music® and Amazon Music® (trial terms apply; 4G network dependent). Service Connect helps deliver vehicle health reports and maintenance reminders, and Safety Connect® is there with an Emergency Assistance button and enhanced Roadside Assistance. The available Qi-compatible wireless charger and multiple USB-C ports keep devices powered, rounding out a seamless in-vehicle tech experience.

Electronic On-Demand AWD

For added traction and assurance, Corolla Hybrid offers available Electronic On-Demand AWD. This smart system uses a dedicated electric drive motor to automatically supply power to the rear wheels when slip is detected, or conditions call for it. The result is confident takeoffs in rain or light snow and enhanced stability when roads are unpredictable—all without sacrificing the balanced, compact feel that makes Corolla easy to park and enjoyable to drive. Because the system engages only when needed, you maintain smooth, efficient operation during normal cruising. It’s a simple, elegant solution for drivers who want extra capability without extra complexity, especially valuable for Midwest weather shifts and year-round commuting.

SofTex®-Trimmed Heated Front Seats and Power Tilt/Slide Moonroof

Comfort and style meet in Corolla’s cabin with available SofTex®-trimmed heated front seats, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a power tilt/slide moonroof with sliding sunshade on select grades. Supportive seat bolstering helps keep you comfortably in place, while available metallic interior trim, chrome interior door handles, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel add upscale touches. Automatic climate control with dust and pollen filtration maintains a consistent cabin environment, and the Smart Key System with Push Button Start gets you on the road quickly. With a 60/40 split fold-down rear seat and thoughtful storage solutions, Corolla balances premium comfort with real-world practicality, making daily errands and weekend trips equally effortless.
