The Corolla hybrid&#8217;s 1.8-liter is sticking around on the fuel-burning side of the business, gaining additional SE and XLE trim levels and optional all-wheel drive for hybrid SE and LE models.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">Toyota says the additional rear-mounted motor for all-wheel-drive Corollas will increase horsepower output but hasn&#8217;t said by how much.  The current front-drive Corolla produces 121 horsepower from its 1.8-liter engine and 71-hp motor, matching the total output of the e-AWD Toyota Prius.  Both front- and all-wheel-drive hybrids will use a 1.8-liter engine, so it&#8217;s unlikely the improved system will match the all-wheel-drive Corolla Cross hybrid&#8217;s claimed output of 194 horsepower because the crossover will use a larger 2.0-liter engine.  The Corolla Cross hybrid is expected to achieve 37 mpg combined, while the 2022 Corolla hybrid currently gets a combined EPA-estimated 52 mpg with front-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">Both the sedan and hatchback get subtle visual tweaks, including redesigned grilles and refreshed rear bumpers with new chrome accents.  A new set of optional 18-inch Graphite-colored wheels have also been added, and SE and XSE trims get a rear diffuser to emphasize a sporty appearance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">New paint is available for both body styles.  Sedans get Underground and Midnight Black metallic, which replace 2022&#8217;s dark Black Sand Pearl.  The hatchback gets a new Inferno color, and it&#8217;s also now available in the previously sedan-exclusive metallic Blue Crush.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">Every Corolla now comes with a redesigned 8.0-inch infotainment screen, and Toyota has updated its digital gauge cluster display with new graphics on all models.  Corolla XSE and XLE&#8217;s larger 7.0-inch instrument cluster is also revised.<\/p>\n<p>The 2023 Corolla uses an updated version of Toyota Safety Sense, enhancing an already impressive slew of standard drivers-assist features such as forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, plus optional adaptive headlights and front and rear parking assist. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">More information about pricing, fuel economy, and hybrid horsepower is expected later this summer before updated Corollas go on sale.<\/p>\n<p>  This content is imported from {embed-name}.
