Toyota's New and Improved 2023 Corolla

The Toyota Corolla is getting a makeover for 2023. Not only will there be three new hybrid models to choose from, but the all-wheel drive system is making its way into the popular compact car. Plus, the multimedia system is being updated to an 8-in. screen standard for all models. Let's take a closer look at what's in store for the 2023 Corolla.


The Corolla Hybrid

The Toyota Corolla has long been a popular choice for buyers looking for a reliable and efficient compact car, and the 2023 model is no exception. The new Corolla Hybrid features a more powerful gas engine and a newly developed lithium-ion battery that's located under the rear seat, making it one of the most capable hybrids on the market. It will be powered by the same 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gas engine with two motor-generators.


Furthermore, the 2023 model year welcomes three new trims: the LE AWD grade, sporty SE AWD grades and a premium-focused XSE AWD grade. Thanks to the addition of an all-wheel drive system to the compact.


Hybrid + All-Wheel Drive

The Corolla Hybrid has long been praised for its fuel efficiency and smooth driving experience. Now, for the first time, it will be available with all-wheel drive. The new system employs a rear-mounted electric motor to power the rear wheels when needed. The rear motor kicks in when the front wheels slip, which makes handling quicker and sharper. Through the Multi-information Display and audio system, drivers can see how torque is being distributed.


This new all-wheel drive option will give customers even more reasons to choose the Corolla Hybrid. And with its excellent fuel economy, it's sure to be a popular choice for drivers who want the assurance of all-wheel drive without sacrificing efficiency. With its excellent fuel economy, ample power, and wide range of model choices, the 2023 Corolla Hybrid is sure to appeal to a broad range of buyers.


Safety Tech

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is the latest and greatest suite of safety features from Toyota. It includes pre-collision steering assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and more. Toyota also added some new features like pedestrian detection and automatic high beams. So rest assured knowing that your 2023 Corolla will keep you safe no matter where your journeys take you.


Toyota Multimedia

The 2023 Corolla comes with a next-generation 8-inch Toyota Multimedia system as a standard. This OTA updatable system makes it easy to keep your car's software current. The all-new Corolla also comes standard with a multitude of features to improve your driving experience.
