Toyota dropped the 13th-gen Corolla Concept at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, and I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor. This thing? It means like the Corolla skipped leg day for a decade and came back shredded.
Born in France, Raised on Attitude
The design team in France didn’t play nice. They gave it these needle-thin LED headlights that stare you down, a roof that slides back like it’s late for something, and a stance so wide it looks planted. No more lunchbox shape. This is a hatchback that actually wants to be driven hard.
Pick Your Poison
You know the drill: gas or hybrid. Fine. But now they’re adding a proper battery-electric Corolla. First one ever. In 59 years. Production starts in 2026, showrooms in 2027. Blink and it’ll be here.
Pakistan, Wake Up
Listen, in Pakistan, the Corolla isn’t a car, it’s a rite of passage. Your mamoo’s office ride, your sister’s first big purchase, the white one with tinted windows outside every chai spot in Rawalpindi. Fifty million sold since ’66. That’s not sales. That’s culture.
Imagine that same bulletproof heart, but wrapped in this new body. Electric. Quiet. No more choking on exhaust in Gulberg traffic. Petrol at 300 rupees a liter? Yeah, an EV Corolla would sell itself.
Toyota’s keeping quiet about local plans. Classic move. But when they tease something this loud on the world stage, we don’t miss it. Never have.
This isn’t a facelift. It’s a statement. The Corolla’s saying, “I’ve carried your family for generations. Now let me carry the future.”
Still tough as nails. Just not dull anymore. Keep your eyes open for more updates, visit DrivePK.com
