Toyota Corolla: tests and projects around an electric version
In late October 2026, spy photos show an electric Toyota Corolla Cross undergoing testing, with a launch announced for 2028. The press then reports that Toyota is nearing the launch of an electric Corolla, presented as a turning point for the manufacturer. Toyota is also running a mule based on a shortened Corolla Cross to develop the electric technology for the next generation of Corolla, fueling rumors of an urban electric SUV. On November 1, the next Corolla is announced with several powertrains, including a fully electric version, on an architecture capable of accommodating combustion and hybrid powertrains, with a revised design and a modernized interior. According to MotorsActu, this generation would be produced in China and would offer an all-electric variant.
