For 2026, the Corolla sedan (gas models) is offered in LE, SE, and XSE trims. On the hybrid side, Corolla Hybrid continues to be offered in LE, SE, and XLE trims.

Yes, but only on the hybrid models. The Corolla Hybrid offers an available AWD option (via an electric motor on the rear axle) in the LE and SE trims. The gas (non-hybrid) Corolla sedans remain front‑wheel drive.

The 2026 Corolla sedan offers about 13.1 cubic feet of cargo space in the trunk (same as prior model years).

Here are key updates and changes for 2026 relative to 2025:

• Toyota simplified the non‑hybrid sedan lineup by dropping the FX trim from the sedan, leaving LE / SE / XSE.
• All 2026 Corollas now receive a digital gauge cluster as a standard feature (previously optional on lower trims).
• New standard safety features, including blind‑spot monitoring (BSM), are now standard even on the base trims.
• Fuel economy ratings and powertrains are carried over (no major mechanical overhaul), but the hybrid trims retain or slightly adjust their efficiency with AWD versions.
• Pricing has been adjusted upward modestly.
• The interior and tech packaging are refined (e.g. digital displays) and the model continues reinforcing its value and safety credentials.

While long‑term reliability data isn’t yet available for 2026 specifically, the Corolla’s reputation for dependability remains strong. The updates are evolutionary rather than revolutionary, Toyota retains the proven engines, hybrid systems, and platforms. Also, increased standard safety features help maintain its value and peace of mind for owners.
