Toyota Corolla expected to join the electric vehicle lineup

At the Japan Mobility Show, Toyota is set to turn a major page in its history by electrifying its flagship model.
For over half a century, the Toyota Corolla has embodied the quintessential global car. Born in the 1960s, it surpassed the Volkswagen Beetle in the late 1990s to become the best-selling car of all time. Remained at the top for more than twenty years before being overtaken by the Tesla Model Y in 2023, the Corolla remains a cornerstone of Toyota’s lineup. And it is about to undergo a revolution: the arrival of a 100% electric version.
Toyota is betting big!
The manufacturer unveiled this week an initial glimpse of the Corolla EV during an online event in Japan. The concept features a sleek design, a closed grille, and a charging port integrated at the front: unmistakable signs. It incorporates Toyota’s new stylistic identity introduced with the bZ4X and electric CH-R. From certain angles, the car even resembles the bZ3, developed with BYD for the Chinese market.
This world premiere will take place within a broader context: the Japan Mobility Show 2025, opening its doors in Tokyo on October 30. Toyota will come in strong, with a collection of concepts with highly diverse ambitions.
Among them, a new Land Cruiser FJ, more compact and playful, promising to reconnect with the spirit of adventure. Daihatsu will showcase the Midget X, a small modular electric utility vehicle designed for both professionals and leisure activities. The Century brand, a symbol of Japanese luxury, will take flight as an independent label, with plans for high-end sedans and coupes.
Finally, Lexus is expected to surprise with a six-wheeled LS concept, as extravagant as it is intriguing, and a sporty coupe from Gazoo Racing could also make an appearance.
