Toyota got rid of Corolla gasoline in another important market

In Japan, the range of bestseller is now available only as a hybrid. The press service explained the rejection of purely gasoline versions “by moving to carbon neutrality.” The Japanese Toyota Corolla became available with one self-loaded power plant based on a 1.8-liter atmospheric. The Sport version degraded to the package without increasing performance.

Toyota Corolla is only a hybrid in most European countries since 2021, but two power plants are exported. One is available in Japan: with a 98-horsepower gasoline engine 1.8, a 95-horsepower (185 nm) electric motor is combined. There is an optional E-Four all-wheel drive with a separate electric motor on the rear axle (41 hp, 84 nm).

The 1.2 turbo engine and a mechanical all-wheel drive were excluded from the Toyota Corolla gamut 2.5 years ago, and now versions with an atmospheric 1.5-liter unit and 2.0-liter hopeless modifications with the SPORT prefix were resigned. But since the 2025 model year, the standard package includes LED headlights and lanterns, video recorders in front and back, monitoring of “blind” zones and automatic parking brake.

The transition to hybrids led to a rise in price, but the overpayment is relatively small: the base version added 139 thousand yen ($ 960), and the maximum allowance will be 232 thousand yen ($ 1600). Prices on Toyota Corolla in Japan start with 2.28 million yen ($ 15.7 thousand) and reach 3.4 million yen ($ 23.5 thousand) for a full -wheel drive station wagon with a sportspack.
