What's new
The 2026 model year Toyota Corolla receives a revised paint range, with Matte Grey as the key addition for the Hatchback and TS Touring Sports body styles. The matt finish is intended to highlight the body creases. Toyota Manufacturing UK in Burnaston will be the first Toyota plant to apply this non-conventional coating to a series-produced vehicle.
A metallic Storm Grey shade also joins the Corolla colour range and will be offered across all body styles in Comfort, Style and Executive grades. In the GR SPORT version, this paint will be paired with a contrasting black roof. The changes therefore cover both the regular equipment grades and the visually sharper GR SPORT configuration.
- New Matte Grey paint for the Hatchback and TS Touring Sports.
- New metallic Storm Grey paint for all body styles.
- Storm Grey combined with a black roof on GR SPORT.
- New upholstery patterns in selected equipment versions.
The cabin changes focus on upholstery. The Hatchback and TS Touring Sports in Comfort grade receive a new black fabric upholstery pattern. The Sedan gets a new black fabric upholstery pattern in the Style grade.
