Toyota Corolla 2025

FROM
$29,270

The 2025 Toyota Corolla range of configurations is currently priced from $29,270.

Our most recent review of the 2025 Toyota Corolla resulted in a score of 7.1 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson had this to say at the time: The final score for this review makes it look as though the Corolla is a middling effort. The scores for each individual section of the review are well considered and fair. The Corolla does lack the practicality of some of its rivals. A lack of an ANCAP rating isn’t great and the powertrain is just okay. But it remains one of the most fun-to-drive hatchbacks on the market today, even seven years into its life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend the Corolla to anyone looking for a small car. If you can forgive some of the quirks, it is a reliable, adorable, fun and efficient small car favourite.

This is what Tim Nicholson liked most about this particular version of the Toyota Corolla: Fuel efficient, Fun to drive, Cheap to run

The 2025 Toyota Corolla carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

Toyota Corolla 2025 FAQs

Why don't I see more 2008 Toyota Corolla Seca sedans?

While the sedan sold alongside the hatchback version of the Corolla in Australia, the hatchback easily outsold the sedan. And that’s pretty much the reason you still see a lot of hatchbacks getting around, but sedans are thin on the ground. They just didn’t sell in the same numbers back in the day. Fundamentally, buyers were much more likely to go for the extra practicality of the hatchback layout.

Of course, that’s in Australia. In some other markets (China, for example) the sedan version of a particular make and model is often more popular than the hatchback variant. It’s a cultural thing, in essence.

Can I use RON 95 or ethanol blend fuel in a 2022 Toyota Camry hybrid engine?

Even though your car has a hybrid driveline, the bit that runs on petrol uses the same technology as any other Toyota petrol engine. So E10 is fine according to Toyota, although it also says 10 per cent (hence E10) is the highest percentage of ethanol you should consider using. Likewise, 95 RON petrol presents no problems.

My 2013 Toyota Corolla won't go over 40km/h

If the car won’t accelerate beyond 40km/h, it could be because it has gone into limp-home mode in order to protect itself from further damage. If so, that’s possibly because there’s a major problem somewhere in the driveline. But the chainsaw noise is pretty worrying, too, and suggests that something is rubbing on something else that shouldn’t be.

The best advice is to not drive the car any farther until it’s been checked by a mechanic. Continuing to drive it risks doing more damage to whatever is already wrong with it.

Toyota Corolla 2025 Accessories

Standard gear from Corolla Ascent Sport up includes cloth bucket seats, keyless entry and start, dual-zone climate control, USB-C ports, a six-speaker audio system, an 8.0-inch colour multimedia display with sat-nav, digital radio, Bluetooth, voice assistant and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The SX adds synthetic leather steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear view mirror, rain-sensing wipers, rear privacy glass and wireless device charging pad, while the ZR gets interior lighting, leather-accented sports bucket seats, an eight-speaker JBL audio system and a head-up display.

Toyota Corolla 2025 Engine

The Corolla is now exclusively powered by a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with Toyota’s fifth-generation hybrid system that incorporates a lithium-ion battery. It drives the front wheels exclusively via a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Toyota Corolla 2025 Interior

The interior of the Toyota Corolla is compact but doesn't feel cramped. It is looking dated this far into its life cycle. The 8.0-inch colour touchscreen sticks up out of the dash and while there are still buttons for climate, many functions are housed in the screen. The cabin is not particularly inspiring and could do with an update.

Toyota Corolla 2025 Boot Space

The base Corolla Ascent Sport and SX come standard with a temporary spare wheel, which is great news for a hybrid model. The bad news is, that reduces boot space to a paltry 217 litres.

The Corolla ZR hatch has more space at 333L but you only get a tyre repair kit instead of a temporary spare.

If you’re dead set on a Corolla but need more cargo space, consider the sedan that has 470 litres.

The Toyota Corolla hatch and sedan come with five seats and all but the top spec ZR and performance-focused GR come with cloth seats. The other two have leather and synthetic suede accented sports bucket seats. The rear seats split and fold 60/40 and they fold flat making for a better loading space.

Toyota Corolla 2025 Speed

Toyota doesn't quote 0-100km/h figures for the Corolla but expect it to be in the vicinity of 10 seconds. Top speed is around 175km/h.
