2027 Toyota Corolla Trims, Engines and AWD Availability
The 2027 Toyota Corolla sedan comes in eight priced grades built on two powertrains, plus a limited 60th Anniversary Special Edition. Gas grades use a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 169 horsepower. Hybrid grades pair a 1.8-liter four-cylinder with Toyota Hybrid System 5 for 138 net combined horsepower. All-wheel drive is available on two hybrid grades. Here is what separates each grade mechanically, and what each one costs.
2027 Toyota Corolla Grades and TSRP
Eight grades carry announced pricing. All-wheel drive adds $1,400 to TSRP over the equivalent front-wheel-drive hybrid grade, on both the Hybrid LE and the Hybrid SE. Grade and pricing figures throughout this page come from Toyota’s 2027 Corolla announcement.

Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer prices will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
The 60th Anniversary Special Edition
A ninth grade sits outside the table. The 60th Anniversary Special Edition marks sixty years of the Corolla nameplate. It is based on the Hybrid SE and limited to 2,500 units for the United States. It arrives in early 2027 with 18-inch machined, black-finished alloy wheels, Black and Red Sport Fabric seat inserts, exclusive badging and a standard 10.5-inch touchscreen. Toyota has not announced its price, so it is not listed above.
Two Powertrains Across the Lineup

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LE | 2.0L four-cylinder | 169 hp | 151 lb-ft | Dynamic Shift CVT | Front-wheel drive |

| XSE | 2.0L four-cylinder | 169 hp | 151 lb-ft | Dynamic Shift CVT | Front-wheel drive |
| Hybrid LE | 1.8L four-cylinder hybrid | 138 hp combined | 105 lb-ft | ECVT | Front-wheel drive |

The 2.0-Liter Gas Engine
The gas grades share a 2.0-liter Dynamic Force four-cylinder with a DOHC 16-valve design. It produces 169 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 151 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm. Power reaches the front wheels through a Dynamic Shift continuously variable transmission.
The 1.8-Liter Hybrid
Hybrid grades use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder paired with Toyota Hybrid System 5. That is Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid powertrain. Net combined output is 138 horsepower at 5,200 rpm, with 105 lb-ft of engine torque at 3,600 rpm through an electronically controlled CVT. The hybrid reaches its torque peak lower in the rev range than the gas engine does.
Estimated fuel economy for front-wheel-drive hybrid grades is 53 mpg city, 46 mpg highway and 50 mpg combined. The EPA has not yet rated the 2027 Corolla, so these are manufacturer estimates. Our Corolla estimated fuel economy guide breaks the figures down grade by grade.
Fuel economy figures shown are manufacturer estimates; the EPA has not yet rated this vehicle. Manufacturer-estimated figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
Which Grades Offer All-Wheel Drive
Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is available on the Hybrid LE and the Hybrid SE. Every other grade is front-wheel drive. No gas-powered Corolla sedan offers all-wheel drive at any price, so choosing all-wheel drive means choosing a hybrid. The wider Toyota hybrid lineup extends well beyond the Corolla.
Drive Modes and Paddle Shifters
Normal, Eco and Sport drive modes are available across the lineup. They are not reserved for the sport grades, so the entry LE is not locked out of them. The XSE is the one grade that adds paddle shifters.
Equipment That Changes by Grade
What the LE Includes
The LE opens the lineup with LED headlamps and 16-inch steel wheels. Inside, it carries an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus single-zone front climate control. The LE Premium Package is the step up from there. It swaps the steel wheels for 16-inch alloys and adds a Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charger.
What the Higher Grades Add
Moving up the range changes wheels, screens and seating surfaces. Our Corolla interior overview covers the cabin in more detail.
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| 18-inch alloy wheels | Standard on SE, XSE and 60th Anniversary Special Edition |
| 10.5-inch touchscreen | Available on SE and Hybrid SE; standard on XSE, Hybrid XLE and 60th Anniversary Special Edition |
| 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster | Standard on XSE and Hybrid XLE |
| SofTex-trimmed seating | Standard on XSE and Hybrid XLE |

| Moonroof | Standard on XSE; available on LE and SE |
| Normal, Eco and Sport drive modes | Available across the lineup |
| Paddle shifters | XSE only |
Safety Equipment Is the Same on Every Grade
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard on every 2027 Corolla grade. The suite covers:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Road Sign Assist
- Automatic High Beams
- Proactive Driving Assist
Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is standard on all grades as well. There is no safety-equipment hierarchy in this lineup. A shopper choosing the entry LE gets the same driver-assistance content as one choosing the Hybrid XLE.
Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.
Warranty and Maintenance Coverage
Hybrid coverage splits into two terms that are easy to confuse. The hybrid battery is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles. The remaining high-voltage components stay at 8 years or 100,000 miles. That group includes the inverter with converter and the hybrid control modules, per Toyota’s hybrid battery warranty announcement.
ToyotaCare is the no-cost factory scheduled maintenance plan included with a new Toyota. Its term now depends on model year. Confirm the coverage that applies to the specific 2027 Corolla you are considering.
| Coverage | Term |
|---|---|
| Basic new-vehicle | 36 months / 36,000 miles |
| Powertrain | 60 months / 60,000 miles |
| Corrosion perforation | 60 months / unlimited miles |
| Hybrid battery | 10 years / 150,000 miles |
| Other hybrid high-voltage components | 8 years / 100,000 miles |
| Roadside assistance | 2 years / unlimited miles |
| ToyotaCare scheduled maintenance | 1 year / 10,000 miles on applicable 2027 vehicles |
