Toyota is injecting a fresh dose of sportiness into its Corolla family with the introduction of the 2025 Corolla Fx Special Edition. This exciting new model pays tribute to the iconic Corolla FX16 from 1987, bringing a modern and dynamic flavor to the popular Corolla lineup.
Drawing inspiration from the SE grade, the Corolla FX immediately commands attention with its enhanced rear spoiler, catering to drivers who crave a more aggressive aesthetic. The vehicle rolls on newly designed 18-inch satin-black finished alloy wheels, complete with machined accents and striking black lug nuts. Further amplifying its sporty appeal, the Corolla FX features a blacked-out roof for a stylish two-tone effect, complemented by black badging and black mirror caps.
Built upon the Toyota New Global Architecture-C (TNGA-C) platform, the Corolla FX boasts a super-rigid structure and a low center of gravity. This foundation, combined with a standard Independent MacPherson-type strut front suspension and stabilizer bar, ensures exceptional handling and a comfortable ride. The Corolla FX distinguishes itself further with standard lowering springs, providing a more assertive stance on the road. The Electric Power Steering system has also been specifically tuned to deliver a more responsive and sporty driving experience.
Powering the Corolla FX is a robust 2.0L Dynamic Force 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve engine. This engine incorporates Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) to produce an impressive 169 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque. The Corolla FX strikes a balance between spirited performance and fuel efficiency, achieving a manufacturer-estimated 34 combined MPG rating.
Inside the Corolla FX, drivers are greeted with unique Moonstone sport fabric seats featuring eye-catching orange stitching. A significant interior upgrade is the debut of the 10.5-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen in the Corolla lineup, which comes standard in the FX model and will be available on other 2025 Corolla trims. The Corolla FX also inherits premium features from the 2025 XSE trim, including a 7-inch multi-information display and a convenient wireless charger.
Safety is paramount, and the 2025 Toyota Corolla FX comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, providing a suite of advanced safety and driver-assistance features.
The Corolla FX will be offered in a selection of striking exterior colors: Midnight Black Metallic, Ice Cap, and Underground. For Ice Cap and Underground options, a contrasting Midnight Black Metallic roof will be included, further enhancing the two-tone sporty aesthetic.
Enthusiasts can anticipate the arrival of the Corolla FX at Toyota dealerships in the Fall of 2024. Additional details, including pricing for the 2025 Corolla FX Special Edition and the complete 2025 Corolla lineup, are expected to be released later this year. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting addition to the Toyota family.
