Used 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid Sedan Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Corolla Hybrid's lineup expanded to five trim levels from just one last year. The lineup starts with the base LE, followed by the sporty SE and the top-spec XLE. If you want all-wheel drive, the Corolla Hybrid also offers the LE AWD and SE AWD trims. For 2023, there's also an Infrared Edition package for SE models. Power comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a hybrid system for a total output of 138 horsepower. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) routes power to the wheels. Feature highlights for each trim include:

LE
Comes equipped with:

  • 16-inch steel wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Automatic climate control
  • 4.2-inch driver information display
  • 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Four USB-C ports
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless smartphone integration (with wireless connectivity for both)
  • Six-speaker sound system

Standard advanced driver aids on every Corolla Hybrid include:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Corolla and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Automatic high-beam assist
  • Road sign assistance (detects certain road signs and displays them on the instrument panel)

LE AWD
The LE AWD has the same features as the front-wheel-drive LE trim but comes equipped with all-wheel drive.

The LE and LE AWD are offered with a pair of option packages:

  • LE Convenience package
    • 16-inch alloy wheels
    • Keyless entry and ignition
    • Heated side mirrors
    • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • LE Premium package
    • Same features as the Convenience package, but it adds a sunroof

SE
The sporty Corolla Hybrid offers:

  • 18-inch gray alloy wheels
  • Sport-tuned suspension
  • Revised power steering for a sportier feel
  • Rear spoiler
  • Gloss black front grille and rear diffuser
  • Heated side mirrors
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Front sport seats
  • Sport driving mode

SE AWD

The SE AWD has the same features as the front-wheel-drive SE trim but comes equipped with all-wheel drive.

The Infrared Edition is only available on the SE and SE AWD. It adds red interior and exterior trim accents.

The SE and SE AWD offer the following upgrades:

  • SE Premium package
    • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
    • Sunroof
  • SE Premium package and a nine-speaker JBL sound system

XLE
The top Corolla Hybrid trim includes the LE's standard equipment plus the LE Premium package and adds:

  • Heated front seats
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • 7-inch digital gauge cluster display
  • Navigation system

The XLE can be upgraded with:

  • Nine-speaker JBL sound system with a wireless smartphone charger

Which Corolla Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base LE trim with the LE Premium package is our recommendation. The price stays low, and it comes with the same features found in the SE trim minus the sporty upgrades most people don't need. It's also more efficient than the SE trim. The LE Premium package adds upgraded alloy wheels, blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning, a sunroof, and keyless entry and ignition.
