Toyota will launch a radically redesigned 13th-generation Corolla that introduces fully battery-electric power and may offer hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion. The new design departs sharply from previous Corollas, evolving bZ model styling into a sharper, sportier, more futuristic form with a two-tier light signature and smoked-glass projectors. The concept lacks a conventional grille and uses a central lower intake with active shutters. The concept debuted at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show and shows signs of being production-intent rather than purely experimental. Toyota aims to close its EV gap with a Corolla that combines advanced electric powertrains with a bolder exterior and updated aerodynamic features, positioning the nameplate to compete more directly with mainstream EVs.
"It recently revealed a daring new Corolla concept that previews the biggest makeover in the model's 50-year history. The current Corolla, the 12th generation of the model, is already significantly more attractive than any previous model to bear the nameplateit even comes as a hot hatch. But if this design is any indication, the 13th iteration is shaping up to be a true revolution."
"Up front, the concept shares the same basic light signature with other bZ models, featuring a two-tier layout with daytime running lights on top and projectors hidden behind smoked glass underneath. There's no sign of a conventional grille, but there is a central intake in the lower part of the bumper that appears to have active shutters to close it off when cooling isn't required."
