Toyota Corolla data analysis

How Toyota Corolla combined fuel economy varies

Across 110 configurations recorded for the 2015 through 2027 Toyota Corolla, combined fuel economy runs from 22 MPG to 52 MPG. The strongest figure belongs to the 2020 Toyota Corolla (Auto (variable gear ratios), 4 cyl, 1.8 L) at 52 MPG, and the weakest to the 2026 car (Auto (S8), 3 cyl, 1.6 L) at 22 MPG — a spread of 136%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Toyota Corolla would be misleading.

What changed for 2027

Average combined fuel economy for the 2027 Toyota Corolla is 34 MPG, against 36.6 MPG for the 2026 car — it fell by 2.6 MPG. Buyers who care most about this figure should look at the earlier model years in the table above before assuming newest is best.

How to read this Toyota Corolla data

This page lists every 2015 through 2027 Toyota Corolla record we hold for this measurement — 110 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.

Configurations behind these Toyota Corolla numbers

The 2015 through 2027 Toyota Corolla entries here cover variants including Auto (AV-S10), 4 cyl, 2.0 L, Auto (S8), 3 cyl, 1.6 L, Auto (variable gear ratios), 4 cyl, 1.8 L, Auto (variable gear ratios), 4 cyl, 2.0 L, Man 6-spd, 3 cyl, 1.6 L, Man 6-spd, 4 cyl, 1.8 L, Man 6-spd, 4 cyl, 2.0 L and Auto (AM-S10), 4 cyl, 2.0 L. 2026 is the busiest model year in the record with 12 separate measured configurations, which is why a single quoted combined fuel economy figure for that year is rarely the one that matches the car in front of you. Match the row to the exact drivetrain, body style and engine on the window sticker or VIN before relying on the number, and use the comparison links below to see how those same configurations line up against rival models.

Where these Toyota Corolla figures come from

Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Toyota Corolla record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.

The EPA highway loop never holds interstate speed. Here is what the same engine does when you sit on the cruise control.

Our Real-World Speed MPG Adjuster re-scales the Toyota Corolla EPA highway result with a quadratic drag term (mpg = hwy ÷ (1 + k·(v² − 60²)/60²), k = 0.55 for trucks, SUVs and vans, 0.42 for cars). Wind, roof racks, and a heavy right foot make it worse, never better.

Frequently Asked Questions About Corolla MPG

What is the MPG of the Toyota Corolla?

The Toyota Corolla gets up to 52 MPG combined (53 city / 52 highway) in the 2027 model year. Fuel economy varies by engine and trim — see the full table above for details.

Which Toyota Corolla trim has the best fuel economy?

The Auto (variable gear ratios), 4 cyl, 1.8 L trim offers the best combined fuel economy at 52 MPG. Smaller engines and front-wheel-drive configurations typically achieve the highest MPG.
