- The latest Corolla retains the familiar 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 169 hp and 151 lb-ft.
- Prices for the 2025 model year start at $22,175 and now top out at $27,890 for the XSE.
- The FX Special Edition stands out with a rear spoiler, lowering springs, and 18-inch wheels.
Toyota is looking to make the 2025 Corolla fresh and enticing for 2025, introducing a new FX Special Edition, all while keeping inevitable model-year price hikes to a minimum. So, does the Corolla still represent good value for money?
Like last year, the cheapest version on offer is the Corolla LE priced from $22,175, excluding a $1,135 destination and handling fee. This makes it slightly pricier than the $22,050 commanded for last year’s model, and the destination fee has also swelled from $1,095, a change that’s reflected across the rest of the Corolla range.

Customers will get a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 169 hp and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm) and mated to a CVT for their hard-earned money. The LE, like all other 2025 Corolla models, comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes features like Lane Departure Assist with Steering Assist and Proactive Driving Assist. It also has 16-inch wheels as standard.
Those willing to spend a little more can go for the Corolla SE. Priced at $24,615 compared to $24,490 last year, the SE can be optioned with a larger 10.5-inch infotainment screen and adds power-adjustable seats, among some other small add-ons, including a revised front grille and two-tone paint schemes.

It’s offered in Midnight Black Metallic, Ice Cap with a Midnight Metallic Black roof, and Underground with a Midnight Metallic Black roof. Prices start at $26,500.
The range-topping Toyota Corolla, this side of a GR Corolla, is still the XSE model, priced from $27,890 compared to $27,150 of last year’s model. It gets the larger infotainment display as standard and adds a nine-speaker JBL Premium audio system.
