The streets, roads, and highways of Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro might be full of SUVs and pickup trucks, but the Toyota Corolla is a compact car that isn’t going away. The 2025 Toyota Corolla is a compact four-door sedan with a choice of gas or hybrid powertrains. It makes sense on many levels as it’s a stylish, practical, and economical option that appeals to an incredibly wide audience.
The 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan is available in LE, SE, Nightshade, and XSE trim levels. The 2025 Toyota Corolla has its own look and appeal, but it fits perfectly with the current Toyota design philosophy. This latest version of the legendary compact sedan is stunningly stylish, especially in its new FX format. The FX is really a cosmetic package for the Toyota Corolla that pays homage to the Toyota Corolla FX16 of the 1980s. The FX package includes 18-inch satin-black alloy wheels, a blacked-out roof, a rear spoiler, black badging and mirror caps, and shorter springs to lower the car’s stance.
The 2025 Toyota Corolla is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four that develops 169 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque. Gas-only versions of the 2025 Toyota Corolla send their power exclusively to the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which helps deliver EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 32 mpg in the city, 41 mpg on the highway, and 35 mpg combined (LE trim level). The three higher trim levels are rated at 31/40/34 mpg, respectively.
The ride quality of the 2025 Toyota Corolla Sedan is impressively comfortable and properly isolates all but the roughest bumps. Additionally, the car’s body motions are under control, which results in improved agility over past incarnations of the car. The SE and XSE trim levels of the 2025 Toyota Corolla are differentiated further from the other models by a firmer sport-tuned suspension and the larger 18-inch wheels found on the XSE.
Every 2025 Toyota Corolla Sedan gets a generous level of standard equipment, including a full complement of LED lights. The 16-inch steel wheels of the base LE model would probably mark it out as mainly for fleets. The price difference between the mid-range and top-of-the-line models isn’t huge, so many shoppers are likely to gravitate to the higher trims. The XSE gets standard 18-inch alloy wheels, a sport mesh gloss black front grille, a power tilt/slide moonroof, SofTex-trimmed heated front sport seats with sport fabric inserts, a 7.0-inch digital gauge cluster, Smart Key System, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Normal, Sport, and Eco driving modes. With a relatively small price difference between the SE, Nightshade, and XSE, most shoppers will probably opt for the trim level that suits their style best. The FX also sees the introduction of a new 10.5-inch infotainment touchscreen as part of the package, which is available as an option throughout the rest of the lineup.
