Despite a valiant effort, Toyota has fallen short of dethroning General Motors as the top-selling automaker in the United States for the first three quarters of 2024. While GM’s 1.95 million sales edge out Toyota’s 1.73 million, the Japanese automaker’s position remains secure, largely due to its strong lineup of traditional gasoline powered vehicles.
The Camry sedan and RAV4 crossover SUV have been instrumental in Toyota’s success. Both models consistently outsell competitors, demonstrating their enduring popularity among American consumers. The Corolla, another staple in Toyota’s lineup, continues to provide reliable and affordable transportation options.
With a starting price of $22,175, the 2025 Corolla sedan offers a variety of trims and features to suit different needs. The Corolla Hybrid and Hatchback models also provide options for those seeking fuel efficiency or a more sporty driving experience.
With the current Toyota Corolla reaching its sixth year on the road since its 2018 debut, whispers of a redesign are swirling.
Digital car designer Vince Burlapp has stepped into the rumor mill, offering his vision of the next-generation Corolla. Burlapp anticipates a 2026 revealing with a strong focus on the North American market, Toyota’s sales powerhouse.
His design philosophy aligns with Toyota’s historical approach, favoring a conservative refresh rather than a radical overhaul. The potentially disruptive element could be the introduction of an affordable plug-in hybrid variant within the Corolla lineup, shaking things up in the compact car segment.
