Toyota Reveals a Special FX Edition of the Corolla Hatchback

For the 2026 model year, Toyota has announced a special FX Edition of the Corolla Hatchback. According to the company, the FX Edition evokes the spirit of the legendary FX16 from the ‘80s, blending nostalgic charm with contemporary dynamism.

Based on the SE grade, the Corolla Hatchback FX adds a black vented sport wing for flair and improved aerodynamics. It comes with 18-inch gloss white-finished alloy wheels with black lug nuts and a heritage-inspired rear badge reminiscent of the original FX16.
