Key Features of the 2026 Toyota Corolla

Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0

Every 2026 Corolla is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, a comprehensive suite designed to help support your awareness and confidence. Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) is engineered to help detect a vehicle, pedestrian, or bicyclist under certain conditions and provide audio/visual alerts and potential braking support. Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) can help ease highway driving by maintaining a preset distance from traffic ahead and assisting with speed adjustments. Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) works with DRCC to help keep you centered in a clearly marked lane when conditions allow, while Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) provides alerts and gentle corrective inputs if it senses an unintended departure. Automatic High Beams (AHB) help optimize forward visibility after dark, and Road Sign Assist (RSA) can recognize select road sign information and display it to the driver. Together, these features align with Corolla’s mission—making everyday driving feel more composed and less complicated.

10.5-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia

Corolla’s available 10.5-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia system is tuned for clarity, speed, and simplicity. The large, responsive touchscreen places core functions within a short reach and tap, with an approachable menu structure that helps minimize distraction. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility allow you to connect your device without cords, bringing your preferred navigation, podcasts, playlists, and messaging directly to the display. The system is designed to work seamlessly with Connected Services, including Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation featuring Google Points of Interest data, an Intelligent Assistant that responds to natural voice prompts with “Hey, Toyota,” and Destination Assist. Service Connect can provide vehicle health reports and maintenance alerts, while Safety Connect® adds a helpful level of reassurance with Emergency Assistance and more. Wi-Fi Connect enables an in-vehicle hotspot and Integrated Streaming compatibility, keeping everyone’s content within easy reach. It’s tech that supports your day rather than competing with it.

12.3-in. Digital Gauge Cluster

The available 12.3-in. Digital Gauge Cluster makes essential information easy to digest at a glance. With crisp graphics and configurable layouts, you can prioritize what matters most—navigation prompts, driving data, safety system status, or audio information—without hunting through menus. The cluster’s clean design integrates smoothly with the center display, creating a unified interface that feels modern yet familiar. On SE and XSE grades, the driver-focused setup complements sporty seats and steering wheel controls, helping you maintain a comfortable and confident posture on longer drives. It is the kind of thoughtful upgrade that you quickly appreciate in daily use, giving your cockpit a premium look and an intuitive flow.

Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

On Corolla Hybrid, available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (AWD) automatically sends power to the rear wheels when it detects the need for extra traction. Rather than relying on a heavy mechanical connection, the system adds a dedicated electric motor at the rear axle, helping provide an almost instantaneous response when accelerating from a stop or when surfaces turn slick. The result is confident stability in rain or light snow with minimal impact on efficiency. Paired with Normal, Sport, and Eco drive modes, the Hybrid delivers smooth, easygoing power around town and reassuring composure on your commute. For drivers who face shoulder-season weather or occasional winter conditions, this AWD setup is an elegant match for compact-sedan versatility.

JBL® Premium Audio

Music drives the mood, and Corolla’s available JBL® Premium Audio system elevates every playlist. With nine speakers, an integrated amplifier, and a dedicated subwoofer, the system is tuned to the cabin’s acoustics to deliver clear vocals and balanced low-end without overpowering the conversation. Whether you stream through Apple Music® or Amazon Music via Integrated Streaming in Wi-Fi Connect, or you queue your favorite podcasts via your smartphone connection, the JBL® setup transforms routine errands into a mini concert. The precise imaging and fuller soundstage feel especially satisfying during highway cruises, and the system’s thoughtful integration keeps controls simple so you can focus on the road.
