New Generation of the Toyota Corolla 2026: What to Expect from the Evolution of the Sedan in Brazil

The next generation of Brazil's best-selling sedan is expected to arrive in 2026 with a new hybrid system, turbo engine and evolutionary design in the 2026 Toyota Corolla.

Toyota is preparing the next evolution of one of its greatest icons: the new generation of the Toyota Corolla 2026. The sedan, a sales leader and benchmark for reliability, will undergo important updates. A new hybrid system, the introduction of a turbo engine and an updated design are expected. See what is already known about the future of the Corolla in Brazil.

The Toyota Corolla has a remarkable history. Launched in 1966, it has sold more than 50 million units globally. In Brazil, it has built a solid reputation. It is synonymous with reliability, durability and good resale value. Over 12 generations, it has gained a loyal customer base. The 13th generation, planned as new generation of Toyota Corolla 2026, seeks to continue this legacy.

Design: an evolution inspired by the new Toyota

New Generation of the Toyota Corolla 2026: What to Expect from the Evolution of the Sedan in Brazil

Contrary to rumors about a visual revolution, the expectation is for a design evolutionary. new generation of Toyota Corolla 2026 should follow the visual language of the brand's most recent models. Inspirations may come from the Prius and the Crown line. Details such as headlights with a signature “hammer” style may appear.

The platform should be an evolution of the current TNGA-C. The proportions should remain close to those of the current model (4,63m long, 2,70m wheelbase). There may be a slight gain in the wheelbase to improve interior space.

Powertrain: new hybrid, turbo engine and flex options

Significant changes are expected under the hood. The current 2.0 naturally aspirated engine should give way to a turbo, possibly the 1.5 Turbo already used in other markets. This should bring more efficiency and performance. The hybrid system will also undergo a major update. A new generation of hybrid system from Toyota.

It will probably combine a 1.8 or 2.0 engine with more powerful electric motors. More modern lithium-ion batteries are expected to be adopted. The possibility of a plug-in hybrid exists, but there are still no confirmed details about autonomy. For Brazil, Toyota will certainly maintain the versions Flex (gasoline/ethanol). The technology Hybrid Flex, already used in the Corolla Cross, is a strong candidate for the sedan.

Enhanced security and technology

In safety, the new generation of Toyota Corolla 2026 should bring advances. The latest version of the package is expected Toyota Safety Sense. This includes assistance such as adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist and automatic emergency braking. The mandatory airbags and stability and traction controls will continue to be present.

National production and market expectations

The production of new generation of Toyota Corolla 2026 for the Brazilian market should continue. The factory responsible will be in Indaiatuba (SP). As is common with new generations, an increase in prices is expected in relation to the current model.

The Corolla already dominates the midsize sedan segment in sales. The new generation aims to maintain and consolidate this leadership. The combination of reliability, updated technology and new engine options should keep the model competitive.

Expected launch of the new generation of the Toyota Corolla 2026

The arrival of new generation of Toyota Corolla 2026 is eagerly awaited. The global debut is expected to take place at the end of 2025, as a 2026 model. The launch in the Brazilian market could happen soon after, possibly in early 2026. Toyota will continue to rely on the strength of the Corolla name and its reputation to attract consumers.

That's not the biggest problem.
The problem is the absurd price that this automaker has become accustomed to charging Brazilian consumers.

You shouldn't talk nonsense, take the taxes out of the final price of the car and you'll see if it's the automaker that's taking a bite out of the consumer's pocket. You live in Brazil, one of the countries with the highest taxes in the world.

Apart from the IPVA + Mandatory Insurance (it will definitely come back) + Insurance with a private company + expensive tolls on roads built with public money!
Having a car is becoming unfeasible!

The price of cars in Brazil is extortionate, not just Toyota, all car manufacturers. Cars cost what they are not worth. But the people pay, so take it

Perfect! It would only improve the curvature of the rear light, which is now a single bar that connects to the side ones.
