The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid marks the first time a hybrid powertrain has been offered in Toyota’s compact car over its 52-year history. The hybrid model is based on the updated 2020 Corolla sedan. Both new 2020 Toyota Corolla models debut at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Toyota is now synonymous with hybrids, and not just because of the Prius. Japan’s largest automaker has added hybrid versions of several of its biggest sellers, from the Camry and Avalon sedans, to the RAV4 and Highlander crossovers, to the sleek Lexus LC luxury coupe. But the compact Corolla hasn’t gotten the hybrid treatment — until now.
The 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is the first model of its kind in the Corolla’s 52-year history. Debuting at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Corolla Hybrid is based on the revamped gasoline 2020 Corolla sedan (Toyota won’t offer a hybrid version of the Corolla hatchback). The hybrid goes on sale in the United States in Spring 2019.
