No one has mentioned it, but could the new Corolla have a hybrid variant this generation?

LOL, I thought I did ! If it was a PHEV or Plug-in Hybrid Electrical Vehicle...I am buying it in trade for my Daily Beater Camry.

After all, 7500 Tax + 1500 State tax...it will be 9000 off, and if the PHEV corolla cost 25k, it will be down to 16k, with my Camry traded in...I think I am looking at 100 a month, and waste no gas LOL....I drive to work only 20 miles a round trip

I WISH...I WISH.....but that was just

Un-realistic

Good point. I don't see the Corolla becoming a hybrid.

The 4-speed tranny is standard for the base trim models.
I think you mean CVT, not PDK.

Toyota Hybrid Concept Hints at Possible Corolla Hybrid












At the 2013 Shanghai Motor Show, Toyota revealed its Yundong Shuangqing II concept, a hybrid sedan that could preview a possible Corolla hybrid of the near future.

Back at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, Toyota unveiled the Furia Concept, which previewed the future of the Corolla. Now, the brand has unveiled the Yundong Shuangqing II in China, which appears to be a slightly toned down Furia concept sporting a hybrid powertrain under the hood.

If this is indeed a redesigned Furia, Toyota could be considering a Corolla hybrid, which would directly compete with its Prius family. That may not be a major issue however, as the more traditional sedan styling would target a different consumer group. If it does happen, the Corolla hybrid would probably borrow its hybrid powertrain from the Prius c, which produces 99 hp.

While that was shown in China, I don't think there is anything indicated for the North American market with regard to a hybrid Corolla variant.

Nine times out of ten, we see leaked photos the day before an official debut. This is odd!!!! Not used to actually having to wait!

Ridiculous mule comment is ridiculous .

With camo, you can still make out the shape of the car, and the styling details. With Toyota's unique cardboard panels, you can't make anything out.

You forgot the most important aspect describing most modern cars; a million character lines and creases, especially on the sides, making many new cars look like they got into major accidents, or were styled by a little child.

Toyota has tightened up their security, back to their famous days when leaks where almost non-existent with future Toyota products.
