The Toyota Corolla's current nationwide average price is $18,265, and its lowest point over the past year was $16,757. Recently, prices have come down for the 2024 and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.

Is the Toyota Corolla a good car?

Expert reviews rate the 2014 and 2021 models among the highest across all years.

Which Toyota Corolla trim should I buy?

The 2025 Toyota Corolla offers these trims:

• LE: The entry point in the sedan lineup, with the Corolla’s straightforward everyday character and the broad value proposition that makes the model appealing.
• SE: The sweet-spot trim, offering a better balance of features and value, with room to add appealing equipment through the Convenience and Premium option packages.
• FX: The style-and-attitude trim, with sport-tuned steering, a lowered sport suspension, snazzy wheels, a decklid spoiler, and a Moonstone-color interior.
• XSE: The top gas trim named in the expert review, bringing the most upscale positioning in the sedan lineup and serving as the trim tied to the available JBL premium sound system.

What Toyota Corolla do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Corolla years with the most listings are 2025, 2024, and 2023.

These higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine newer features, broader availability, and strong deal percentages. They also give you more choices across trims and body styles, which makes it easier to find the right Corolla for your budget.

What is the Toyota Corolla's resale value?

Most Corolla model years are moving only slightly, with several recent years showing small declines and several older years showing modest gains. That mix suggests a stable used market rather than sharp swings, which can be helpful if you want predictable pricing. The 2015, 2020, and 2023 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year. The 2016, 2014, and 2017 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Should I buy a used Toyota Corolla now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −2.95% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −1.95%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 38.9% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 38.7%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $22,211. The Toyota Corolla offers a practical, easy-to-live-with character that has made it a long-running favorite for everyday driving.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The Corolla FX distinguishes itself with a lowered sport suspension and sport-tuned steering, and it uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine supplying 169 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 151 pound-feet of torque at 4,400 rpm.
• Tech: Toyota now offers a larger 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Intelligent Assistant.
• Safety: Toyota equips every 2025 Corolla with the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) collection of driver assistance systems, including forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, lane centering assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam headlights, and a road sign recognition system.
• Starting price: Base pricing ranges from $22,325 to $28,040, not including the $1,195 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
