The Toyota Corolla, one of the best-selling models of all time, will have a renewed design, new finishes and a new 10.5-inch multimedia screen, starting in 2023. The announcement was made by the company itself this Thursday.

According to Notícias ao Minuto, the engines will remain the same. As with the current model, two hybrid options of 1.8 and 2.0 liters are available.
