2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Nods at History
Toyota is adding the FX package to the 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback. The automaker revived the FX moniker as an appearance package with the Corolla sedan in 2024. The Corolla Hatchback FX is scheduled to arrive at dealers this fall. Toyota is adding another Corolla FX model to its lineup for 2026. Like the Toyota Corolla FX sedan revealed in 2024, Toyota is adding the FX package to its hatchback counterpart. Toyota's latest FX variant adds a wing, a set of white wheels, and some nods to the original FX16. Like the sedan, the '26 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX is based on the SE grade. That means this Corolla packs the same 2.0-liter I4 under its hood, which pushes 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque through a continuously variable transmission to the front wheels. Toyota says this combination is estimated to achieve 33 mpg combined. While the powertrain might be the same as the Corolla SE, this FX package sets itself apart with style. The Corolla Hatchback FX adds a wing at the rear and a set of alloy wheels finished in gloss white and orange accents in the interior. That interior also features a set of sport touring seats with suede inserts. There's also a nod to the FX16 with the special edition badge on this Corolla's hatch. Toyota Toyota says it will limit production of the Hatchback FX to 1,600 examples for the US market. These cars will be finished in either inferno, ice cap, or blue crush metallic, and are expected to arrive at dealers this fall. Pricing is still to be determined, but this will probably be a couple thousand dollars more than the standard Corolla Hatchback SE's $24,915 starting price. You can probably expect it to start around $27,000. However, tariffs could push that price higher: The Corolla Hatchback is manufactured at Toyota's Tsutsumi Plant in Toyota, Aichi.

Toyota Unveils Vintage-Inspired Corolla Hatchback FX
Business Toyota Unveils Vintage-Inspired Corolla Hatchback FX Back in the late 1980s, Toyota dropped the Toyota Corolla FX16: a small hatchback powered by the legendary 4A-GE engine with a 7500 rpm redline and a five-speed transmission. It wasn't quick by any means, only making 108 hp, but its stature and 2,440 lb curb weight made it a blast in corners. The 1980s are gone, but thankfully, the FX16 is now back in the form of the 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Edition. 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FX Toyota Toyota The FX sports some sporty touches Based on the Corolla Hatchback SE, the FX embodies its rowdy older sibling with a black vented rear wing, 18-inch gloss white-finished alloy wheels with black lug nuts, and a vintage-looking "Corolla Special Edition" badge on the hatch. To match the special edition flair, the Corolla Hatchback FX will be available in Inferno, Ice Cap, and Blue Crush Metallic. Under the hood is the regular 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force direct-injection inline four-cylinder engine making 169 horsepower, 151 lb-ft. of torque, and a combined 33 MPG rating. The cabin doesn't quite relay the same level of fun colors, but it does feature black Sport Touring Seats with suede inserts and orange stitching that continues on the door panels, steering wheel, and shifter boot. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster is standard, as is a wireless charger, and an 8-inch infotainment screen. Your standard smartphone connectivity makes a welcome return, with standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi Connect trial/subscription that offers 4G connectivity for up to five devices. 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FXToyota View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Vintage touches don't mean a lack of safety Toyota's latest Safety Sense 3.0 suite gives the Corolla modern amenities without compromising its vintage looks, including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Proactive Driving Assist. Warranty-wise, the Corolla Hatchback FX comes with the standard 36-month/36,000 mile basic new-vehicle warranty and a 60-month warranty that covers the powertrain for 60,000 miles and against corrosion with no mileage limitation. ToyotaCare comes included at no additional cost, and covers factory-scheduled maintenance for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and 24-hour roadside assistance for two years with unlimited mileage. 2026 Toyota Corolla Hatchback FXToyota View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Final thoughts Toyota didn't mention a price tag for the 2026 Corolla Hatchback FX, only stating that it will produce only 1,600 examples by this fall. Everyone likes it when a manufacturer shows respect towards their heritage with a special, limited edition model like the Corolla FX, and while the interior doesn't quite do the exterior justice, this is still a welcome sight that is sure to sell out quick. If you know you definitely want one, get in touch with your local dealer and see if you can strike before someone else does. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
