Toyota is throwing it back with a modern twist for the 2026 model year, introducing the Corolla Hatchback FX Edition—a bold, limited-run special that channels the spirit of the legendary FX16.
Built on the SE grade, this dynamic edition merges retro cues with performance-driven updates and tech-savvy features to reimagine the Corolla Hatchback as a nostalgic yet future-forward machine.
Visually, the FX Edition stands apart with a black vented sport wing, heritage-style rear FX badge, and 18-inch gloss white alloy wheels with contrasting black lug nuts. It’s available in three head-turning colors: Inferno, Ice Cap, and Blue Crush Metallic.

Under the hood, it runs on a 2.0-liter Dynamic-Force inline four-cylinder engine producing 169 hp and 151 lb-ft of torque, paired with a responsive chassis that delivers a fun, agile drive. With an estimated 33 combined MPG, it blends performance with practicality.
Inside, the cabin showcases black Sport Touring seats with suede inserts and orange stitching, extending to the door panels, steering wheel, and shifter boot for a vibrant contrast. A 7-inch digital gauge cluster allows customizable display layouts, while a standard wireless charger ensures your smartphone stays powered up on the go.

With an active Drive Connect subscription, the system enables voice-activated features through “Hey Toyota” for navigation, media, and climate control. OTA updates and built-in hotspot capability further round out its connectivity arsenal.
Safety-wise, the FX Edition is fully equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, including:
- Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection
- Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
- Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist
- Lane Tracing Assist
- Road Sign Assist

Toyota backs the FX Edition with a 36-month/36,000-mile basic warranty, 60-month/60,000-mile powertrain coverage, and ToyotaCare, which includes 2 years/25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance and 24-hour roadside assistance at no extra cost.
With its limited production, sport-inspired design, and tech-forward focus, the Corolla Hatchback FX Edition brings a compelling blend of retro flair and modern capability to Toyota’s compact lineup.
