This video provides an in-depth look at the upcoming 13th generation Toyota Corolla, slated for a 2027 model year release. The reviewer highlights that while the wagon/touring sports variant shown is unlikely for the US market, the design language, heavily influenced by the new Prius, is expected to be closely mirrored. Key takeaways include the introduction of new, more compact engine technologies, particularly a 1.5L naturally aspirated and a 1.5L turbo, designed for improved thermal efficiency and synergy with hybrid systems. The reviewer notes a significant increase in electric motor power and battery size for the hybrid variants, potentially offering nearly double the electric assist compared to current models. While specific US powertrain details remain uncertain, the Corolla is expected to heavily favor hybrid configurations, possibly becoming exclusively hybrid. The reviewer praises the potential for increased efficiency and affordability, suggesting the new Corolla could be a strong competitor, though the wait for the US-spec model is anticipated to be around two more years.
