AutoExec Summary
The 2026 Toyota Corolla is expected to achieve over 2100km of range from a single tank, thanks to a new plug-in hybrid powertrain and aerodynamic design. This range would allow for a non-stop drive from Melbourne to Rockhampton. The next-gen Corolla will feature a 1.5-litre engine paired with Toyota’s latest EV technologies, including advanced solid-state batteries. However, these batteries will be reserved for flagship models like the Crown EV, while mass-market models will use bi-polar lithium-iron phosphate batteries. Toyota plans to introduce solid-state battery technology in 2027.
