What are the changes in the 2025 Corolla?
One of the significant upgrades is the improved hybrid powertrain. The 2025 Corolla Hybrid now features a more powerful electric motor, increasing total system output to 140 horsepower compared to the 121 horsepower of the 2024 model. The RAV4 has stronger powertrain options, including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models, and can tow up to 3,500 pounds in certain trims. The Corolla Cross uses a standard gasoline engine (with a hybrid option available in some trims) and offers limited towing capacity, making it less suited for heavy hauling.
