Toyota Corolla 60th anniversary and next-gen updates
Overview
Toyota continues to mark the 60th anniversary of the Corolla, which has surpassed 57 million global sales since 1966. In Europe, the brand has launched the ‘Style 60 Aniversario’ special edition, featuring a two-tone ‘60th Anniversary Blue’ exterior, 17-inch alloy wheels, and commemorative interior elements. This edition is available for the 5-door Hybrid 140 and the Touring Sports (Hybrid 140 and Hybrid 200), with prices starting at €25,450 for the 5-door model. Additionally, the ‘Style’ trim is returning to the 5-door architecture, offering upgraded safety equipment such as blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert.
In Japan, the Corolla Cross is receiving updates, including a rugged ‘Z Adventure’ special edition, and is transitioning to a hybrid-only lineup. In the United States, Toyota highlights its Blue Springs, Mississippi, manufacturing plant, which currently handles all gas-powered Corolla assembly for the US market.
Development of the thirteenth-generation Corolla is accelerating. While previously anticipated for an October 2026 unveiling, new reports suggest the model may debut in mid-2027 as a 2028 model, featuring a more “disruptive design” to remain competitive. Following Toyota’s ‘multi-pathway’ strategy, the new platform will support internal combustion, hybrid, plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and battery electric (BEV) versions. To leverage lower production costs, Toyota has confirmed that vehicles produced in China through its FAW alliance will be exported to other regions, including Europe.
Technical rumors suggest a new 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine to improve fuel efficiency by 10% to 20%, and a high-performance GR version potentially featuring a 2.0-liter turbo engine producing up to 395 horsepower.
