• FX: Adds sport-tuned steering, a lowered sport suspension, snazzy wheels, a spiffy spoiler, and a Moonstone-color interior for a more distinctive look and feel.

What Toyota Corolla do most buyers choose?

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

• Tech: Toyota now offers a larger 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system.
