2023 Toyota Corolla: your questions answered

2023 Toyota Corolla

The 2023 Toyota Corolla continues the tradition of keeping pace with changes in motorists’ needs and preferences. That’s how it has come to achieve world record sales of more than 50 million across 12 generations since 1966 and few cars could have a better foundation for success than the Toyota Corolla, a nameplate that has appeared on more vehicles worldwide than any other.

The new models are equipped as standard with the latest Toyota Smart Connect+ multimedia system, with faster response and greater functionality, plus a fully digital, customisable 12.3-inch combimeter in the driver’s instrument binnacle. 

There are also major advances in the Toyota Safety Sense active safety and driver assistance systems, with new and enhanced features that recognise and help the driver avoid a wider range of everyday driving hazards. Safety and multimedia functions are future-proofed, with software updates deliverable over the air via the car’s data communications module.

2023 Toyota Corolla

These significant changes go hand-in-hand with refreshed exterior and interior styling details, including new wheel designs, headlights, colour options and upholsteries. 

What is the powertrain of the 2023 Toyota Corolla?

The fifth generation of Toyota’s self-charging full hybrid electric technology is the heart of the new Corolla. Detailed engineering and design changes deliver a better driving experience, higher performance and improved efficiency. The changes include a new power control unit and transaxle designs, a more powerful lithium-ion battery and calibration to achieve a more rewarding driving experience with a closer relationship between the driver’s use of the accelerator and the drive force delivery. 

Performance 

The total power from the 1.8-litre system is 138bhp, bringing a 1.8-second reduction in the 0-62mph time to 9.1 seconds. For the 2.0-litre system, total output has risen to 193bhp and half a second has been shaved from the 0-62mph time, taking it down to 7.4 seconds. 

CO2 emissions are from 100g/km for the 1.8-litre system and 98g/km for the 2.0-litre with fuel economy from 64.2mpg (all figures WLTP combined cycle, Icon Hatchback with 16-inch wheels). 

Hybrid system design 

The changes introduced for the fifth generation hybrid electric system include components that weigh less and are more compact – qualities that help maintain efficiency in tandem with the increase in output – but which maintain the reliability that is a hallmark of Toyota’s technology.  

A new power control unit (PCU) helps reduce the level of electrical losses in the system (-14 per cent in the 1.8-litre, -6 per cent 2.0-litre) and maintain fuel efficiency. The unit has a new double-sided cooling system and runs at a higher frequency, reducing its noise level. 

The PCU is installed directly above a new transaxle featuring a compact, high-output motor generator with new internals to improve fuel efficiency and dynamic performance. A new stator coil winding method has helped reduce the motor’s size. The complete transaxle is 15 per cent lighter than before thanks to the use of new materials – its casing is now 20 per cent lighter.  

Using low-viscosity oil reduces internal friction and adds to the all-around improvement in efficiency. Other detailed measures include smaller gears with teeth reprofiled to give a larger contact area and a smaller and lighter differential. 

Hybrid battery 

The new lithium-ion hybrid battery is smaller and lighter but has a higher output – qualities that contribute to both the car’s dynamic performance and its fuel efficiency. Compared to the battery deployed in the previous system, weight has been reduced by 14 per cent while power output has increased by 14 per cent. Toyota has optimised the battery’s cooling path to help prevent deterioration caused by temperature fluctuations and preserve battery life. Being housed beneath the rear seats, the battery unit doesn’t intrude on the car’s load space. 

Improved driving experience 

The advances made with the fifth-generation hybrid system include improvements in driveability. Notably, the driver experiences a better relationship between their use of the throttle and vehicle response with more consistent, predictable and controllable performance. A better acceleration feel makes for more confident driving. 

This has been achieved by calibrating the throttle better to suit familiar driving scenarios, such as stop-start traffic and frequent changes in speed limits. The acceleration also adapts to up and downhill driving, synchronising the engine speed with the driver’s inputs to give a more natural feel and easier drive. Running at lower rpm also makes the system quieter when driving at highway speeds. 

Are there any exterior changes with the 2023 Toyota Corolla?

The new 2023 Toyota Corolla range gains a more refined and contemporary appearance with changes to the front grille mesh pattern, fog light bezels and alloy wheel designs. 

Excel Hatchback and Touring Sports models gain new multi-LED headlights with an Adaptive High-beam System (AHS). A new lighting signature combines seamless daytime running lights and turn indicators in a single J-shaped unit that wraps around the headlight unit. 

2023 Toyota Corolla

The exterior paint choices include new colours inspired by current trends in architecture, product design and fashion. Juniper Blue is the key colour for the Hatchback and Touring Sports, with a vibrant, flaring tone. When viewed close-up, it reveals red undertones which create a fresh effect with subtle changes in colour. Decuma Grey is a timeless shade with wide appeal, its appeal enhanced by dark silver flakes in the paint. 

New-design alloy wheels are introduced: 16-inch silver 10-spoke for Icon grade; 17-inch black/machined multi-spoke for Design grade.

Are there any interior changes with the 2023 Toyota Corolla?

For the interior, the mood is more modern and premium with new graphics, trims and embossed patterns that add three-dimensional depth and tactile appeal to the upholsteries, surfaces and finishes. The trim and seat upholstery combinations follow new Dark and Light Harmony themes with coordinated colours and finishes to give the cabin a contemporary, elegant feel. LEDs are now used for all the interior lights, giving added brightness but using less power. 

New digital cockpit 

A new 12.3-inch digital combimeter in the driver’s instrument binnacle is provided as standard on all versions. 

Its ergonomic design maximises the space available with high-visibility, easy-to-read information and intuitive control. Flexibility is designed-in, in so the driver can adjust the content, including the number of dials and the information shown in each section of the central multi-information display. The combimeter can also be personalised with different themes: Casual, Smart, Tough Sporty. Changes are simple to make, using toggle switches on the steering wheel. 

Toyota Smart Connect+ multimedia 

Connectivity has become a prime customer requirement, with people wanting a seamless, always-connected experience when in their car. The new Toyota Smart Connect+ system addresses this priority with a faster, more responsive multimedia package that is future-proofed with over-the-air updates to expand functionality or introduce new services. 

2023 Toyota Corolla

Featured as standard on all new Corolla models, it comes with a 10.5-inch high-definition touchscreen display (with convenient and conventional dial controls for air conditioning and audio on/off operation). The package includes both cloud-based navigation with real-time traffic event information and embedded navigation, an onboard voice agent; and smartphone integration via (wireless) Apple CarPlay and (wired connection) Android Auto. Four years’ subscription to services is included in the vehicle’s OTR price. Other useful functions include fixed-speed camera locations and weather alerts.  

In addition, a number of remote services are available using the MyT app, allowing drivers to use their smartphone to lock or unlock their car, operate the climate control to heat or cool the cabin prior to a journey, activate the hazard lights and locate their vehicle. 

What safety features are available on the 2023 Toyota Corolla?

The latest developments of Toyota Safety Sense have brought significant improvements to many of its accident detection systems and added new functions that increase safety and provide additional peace of mind. With the benefit of over-the-air updates, the software can now be upgraded automatically, with no need for the car to be taken to a service centre. 

New Corolla benefits from a new front camera that covers a much wider field ahead of the car, with extended reach both left/right and up/down. The distance of forward detection has been doubled compared to the scope of the previous hardware. Likewise, the coverage of the front millimetre-wave radar has been extended so that it can detect obstacles closer to the front of the car than before. Using Motion 3D and enhanced Deep Neural Network tools has allowed for a wider range of potential hazards to be picked out, including motorcycles and roadside objects such as walls, guard rails, kerbs and utility poles. 

2023 Toyota Corolla

This increased detection capability makes the Pre-Collision System (PCS) effective in more urban traffic scenarios, including the recognition of potential head-to-head collisions. The Intersection Collision Avoidance can now identify approaching traffic across two lanes, as well as cyclists and vehicles approaching from the side. 

The Emergency Steering Assist system helps the driver keep the car within its traffic line when trying to avoid a hazard such as a pedestrian, cyclist, parked car, or – thanks to the detection enhancements – motorcyclist. There’s also a safeguard against sudden, unintended use of the accelerator when moving at low speed, with a new acceleration suppression function. 

The Full Range Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been revised to give a faster response and to operate in a way that feels more natural to the driver. For example, thanks to earlier detection, when another vehicle enters the car’s lane there is more gradual deceleration. The driver can select a longer vehicle-to-vehicle setting to establish a more comfortable gap and the ACC’s curve speed reduction function is activated earlier, giving smoother speed adjustment when driving through a bend. 

New systems have been added for safer overtaking: Overtake Prevention Support prevents unintentional overtaking on the wrong side of a vehicle (“undertaking”), and Preliminary Deceleration/Turn Signal Linked Control helps the driver safely rejoin the traffic lane at an appropriate speed and distance from other vehicles.  

The Lane Trace Assist (LTA) has also been adjusted to operate with a more natural feel. It now recognises when the driver has moved out of the lane while trying to avoid an obstacle (pedestrian or other road users) and temporarily cancels the Lane Departure Warning. Its lane-centring function has also been changed so that the car will follow a more natural-feeling, off-set line when passing parked vehicles and other roadside obstacles.

2023 Toyota Corolla

When the ACC and LTA are operating, an Emergency Driving Stop system will monitor driver inputs; if these stop (use of steering wheel, brake and accelerator) over a certain time, it will sound a warning and, if the driver doesn’t respond, bring the car slowly to a stop and activate the hazard lights. 

The Road Sign Assist has been improved so that the speed limiter can easily be adjusted to match traffic sign information – useful, for example, when driving near schools or entering spaces shared with pedestrians. 

Proactive Driving Assist (PDA) is a new function that provides a range of safeguards when driving in low-speed areas such as town centres. Obstacle Anticipation Assist detects obstacles such as parked vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists ahead at an early stage and provides steering and braking support to help the driver avoid approaching too close. Deceleration Assist provides smooth deceleration when the driver comes off the accelerator to slow down for a slower vehicle ahead, or when entering a bend. Steering Assist detects a bend ahead and adjusts the steering force to help the driver adopt an appropriate steering angle. 

Driving assistance 

Excel-grade models benefit from a Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert with auto braking. They also offer an extra layer of protection when getting out of the car with Safe Exit Assist. This uses the Blind Spot Monitor in the door mirrors to check for any traffic (including cyclists) approaching from the rear, flashing a warning light if anything is detected. If an attempt is made to open a door, further warning lights flash in the multi-information display and a buzzer is sounded.    

Will there be a GR Sport model in the 2023 Toyota Corolla range?

Since its introduction in 2020, the GR Sport grade has proved highly successful in delivering a sportier profile for Corolla and extending the car’s appeal, in particular helping attract new customers to the Toyota brand. More than 20,000 have been sold across Europe to date. 

2023 Toyota Corolla

Inspired by the world championship-winning success of Toyota Gazoo Racing in race and rally competition, the GR Sport has a more powerful look that accentuates Corolla’s sharp, dynamic styling with unique exterior and interior design elements.  

The new 2023 Toyota Corolla GR Sport has new-design 18-inch machined alloy wheels and a new-look rear bumper and under-guard. The seats have a fresh finish with the GR logo embossed in the headrest and a new micro-hexagon pattern in the silver ribbons along the edge of the bolster and cushion. The GR logo is also added to the push-button starter. 

What is offered on each Corolla model in the range?

The 2023 Toyota Corolla is launched in the UK with four equipment grades: Icon, Design, GR Sport and Excel. Each grade is available in both Hatchback and Touring Sports body styles with a choice of both 1.8 and 2.0-litre hybrid electric powertrains.

  1. Hi Toyota. I ordered two new cars recently (6months ago). The corolla touring was delivered in the Excel spec. My recommendation is that people seriously consider other manufacturers. Toyota have clearly tried to save money. Yes there’s leather but the previous excel spec had BSM, heated steering wheel, fully electric seat adjustment, and a working sat nav system. Now mainly manual seat adjustment, no BSM, no heated steering wheel and a shocking nav system. On a trip to Northumberland we were left with no nav as the system froze and was unable to find anything (post codes, names etc). After 30 yrs I may be going elsewhere. That’s all before I was charged an extra £600 for the Yaris Design above what I’d agreed to pay. Why? I honestly don’t know are neither does the dealer. Toyota refused to honour my initial agreement. Poor show Toyota. Very poor indeed. I’d sign from the rafters about Toyota quality, now I find myself suggesting another manufacturer.

    1. Hi Simon,
      BSM, Heated Steering Wheel and Fully Electric Seat Adjustment have never been available on the 12th generation Corolla in the UK.
      Some of these features are available on higher grade models of the more expensive C-HR.
      Sorry to hear about the issue you experienced with the multimedia system, we’d recommend getting your centre to take a look at it for you.
      Regarding your comment about Yaris pricing, we’d recommend contacting Customer Relations, which you can do here – https://www.toyota.co.uk/help-centre#/iframe/https%3A%2F%2Fforms.toyota.co.uk%2Fcontact-us.
      Thanks.

      1. This is absolutely true ! I have feeling Toyota is using UK market as “scrap” yard for old components – Toyota Highlander is available with OLD multimedia system with not arability for upgrade from 8″ to “NEW” 12″ screen available in every EU market and Higlander is more expensive in UK than EU !

      2. Hi John,
        Thanks for your feedback.
        The new multimedia system is now available on the new MY23 Highlander, which you can view here – https://mag.toyota.co.uk/2023-toyota-highlander/.
        In terms of general pricing, our vehicles are always competitively priced aganist equivalent competitor vehicles in this market.
        Price variation from market to market is depdendent on various economical factors that we don’t have control over.
        Thanks.

  2. I placed an order for a new Corolla Excel 2.0 back in February 2022 for delivery in beggining of July, it was pushed to the end of August and has now been pushed to the end of November. If I knew that a facelift model was coming in 2023 I would of waited to to order if I knew my car was arriving at the tail end of the year. My question is will I be receiving the current model or the face lift in November?

    1. Hi Chris,
      Thanks for your order.
      Unfortunately, we do not have any information on this at the moment.
      As soon as this information is available, we will communicate it to our customers.
      Thanks.

      1. I was told that the order books for the new Corolla would open on 1st September. My dealer placed my order on that day. Has the new Excel got a heated steering wheel? That wa so good on my old C-HR. Thanks

      2. Hi Richard,
        Thanks for your order.
        MY23 Corolla Excel does not have a heated steering wheel, however it does have heated seats.
        Thanks.

  3. Pete
    I have been invited to a directors event at vantage Scarborough with a view to ordering a new corolla for delivery in early 2023. Are they likely to have the new updated corolla on show for me to look at.

    1. Hello Peter,
      The new Corolla range is on sale now.
      We would recommend confirming with your Toyota Centre when they will have a demonstrator vehicle available.
      Thanks.

      1. Hi can u tell me when will u stop making Toyota corolla 22 model and start manufacturing the 23 model so for example if you ordered a car in February and still haven’t received it I’m being told possibly October or November will I receive the 23 model or will I receive the 22 model
        Regards David

      2. Hi David,
        Thanks for your question.
        We currently do not have any information on this.
        Please keep an eye on our blog and social media channels for the latest information.
        Thanks.

  4. I can see you have published prices for the new Corolla 2023.
    Where can i find the full specifications for all new corolla variants?

    Toyota UK website still showing the specs for the previous version.
    Thanks

  5. Following on from my comments made on here on the 18th July, the handling of this new model year has been a shambles. I noticed an article on auto express published on the 24th Aug detailing all the new specs/tech etc for the new model, yet at the time of writing the Toyota website is still showing the old model, as is the Irish and Swedish Toyota websites. Why do the press get to know this information before your customers. My dealer has been really helpful, as much as they can, but being given very little information from Toyota themselves, they’re unable to confirm whether my order placed in April for a 2.0 excel with JBL and pan roof will be the 22 or 23 model and if it’s the 23 MY it won’t come with JBL sound due to supply issues. Spending over £32000 on a car which is essentially outdated the moment it’s delivered was too much of a bitter pill to swallow so I have today cancelled my order. Perhaps Toyota could communicate a bit more clearly with its dealer network and as such customers could be better informed.

    1. Hi Simon,
      We are really sorry to hear about the inconvenience this has caused.
      Ultimately, due to the nature of the longer delivery times at the moment, future model year vehicle may be announced a little earlier despite not going on sale until next year.
      If you would like to raise your complaint further, you can contact our Customer Relations team here – https://www.toyota.co.uk/help-centre#/iframe/https%3A%2F%2Fforms.toyota.co.uk%2Fcontact-us.
      Thanks.

      1. Thank you. Yes I am going to raise this as a complaint given the monetary values involved.

  6. Hi,

    I placed an order for a Corolla Touring Sports Excel at the end of July (quoted likely delivery of 1st March 23). As the order books are now open for the MY23 will my car arrive as a MY23 or are you still going to be building the MY22 variants? My car hasn’t gone into production yet and the dealer (Vertu Chesterfield) says it’s unlikely to be built in 2022 with the lead times they had available.

    Thanks.

    1. Hi Greg,
      Thank you very much for your order.
      Your Toyota Centre will have more information on your order and which model year your vehicle will be once it is built.
      We hope this helps.
      Thanks.

      1. Not fully as part of my question wasn’t addressed. Are you still going to be manufacturing vehicles to the MY22 spec or have they now ceased production in favour of production beginning only for the MY23 vehicles?

      2. Hi Greg,
        The final month of production for Model Year 2022 Corolla’s is December.
        Thanks.

  7. I ordered a Corolla MY22 in April for delivery in September. My dealer says there are no more MY22 models available. So how is the production line open until December and I cannot get a vehicle I ordered in April?

  8. I have now bit the bullet and ordered a 23MY Corolla Touring Sports 1.8. Excel. I have waited in the vain hope that more details would emerge. I have spoken to two dealers who have also tried to get more information. I know about the new features such as the subtle bodywork changes, the infotainment unit, the remapped engine and electric motor etc, but it’s the smaller details such as the red accents on the upholstery, the new safety features such as BSM, is this now standard or part of an additional add on package? Is there a spare wheel or that nonsense type repair kit? I thought now that Toyota is accepting online orders as of today then full details such as an up to date brochure would be available, but no, online it’s still showing the 22MY engine specifications, colours and packs. I’ve ordered the panoramic roof which was not previously available on the 1.8. As far the dealer and I can see this is now available on the 1.8 but I’m not certain. There appears to be a certain amount of lethargy on Toyotas part in releasing information, especially now the order books are open. I sincerely hope I don’t regret ordering the Corolla.

    1. Hi Peter,
      Thanks for your order.
      BSM are available on the Excel Grade.
      The interior of Corolla Touring Sports is Fabric and Synthetic Leather Black/Grey.
      This vehicle is equipped with a Tyre Repair Kit, in place of a spare wheel.
      In answer to your question about the panoramic roof, this is available on Design and Excel Grades.
      The car configurator on the website will be updated in due course, sorry for the confusion.
      Thanks.

  9. If i am going to buy a new corolla in the uk dealer, will my order follow the new price list and will the car be model of 2023? And is it made in 2023? What is the estimate delivery month if we order in sept 2022?

    1. Hi Pun,
      Thanks for your comment.
      The current estimated ETA of a Corolla Hatchback is March 2023.
      This should be a Model Year 2023 vehicle if ordered now but we would recommend confirming this with your Toyota Centre.
      We hope this helps.
      Thanks.
