The early E-Four sedan came in three Toyota factory hybrid grades, all with the same original E-Four rear-motor system.
| Factory grade (2019–2022) | Character | Genuine factory distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid W×B E-Four | Sportiest appearance | W×B styling, sporty seats and distinctive exterior trim; highest presentation trim in this model-year family. |
| Hybrid S E-Four | Comfort/equipment balance | More comfort features than G-X; Toyota’s 2019 launch lists S in AWD as a regular grade. |
| Hybrid G-X E-Four | Entry value | Simpler interior and equipment; manufacturer-option availability differs from S and W×B. |
Toyota lists both Sedan and Touring E-Four variants in the original 2019 release, but Australian-delivered Corolla Hybrid sedans may be front-wheel drive. Compare drivetrain as well as grade and year when assessing Australian and Japanese asking prices.
| Model year / availability | Factory item | Standard / optional / grade-specific |
|---|---|---|
| From 2019, all grades | Toyota Safety Sense; original driver-assistance suite | Standard; later functionality differs. |
| From 2019, all grades | Display Audio smartphone-linked multimedia | Standard original-generation equipment. |
| From 2019, S and W×B | Intelligent Clearance Sonar / Parking Support Brake (stationary objects) | Standard on documented S/W×B equipment; optional on G-X. |
| From 2019, specified models | Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake and Blind Spot Monitor | Factory option (availability varies with transmission/grade). |
| 2019–2022 W×B | Sports seats and dedicated exterior/lighting treatment | Grade-specific; not fitted to all G-X/S cars. |
| October 2022 onward | Enlarged Toyota Safety Sense capability including intersection assistance and Proactive Driving Assist | Model-year update, distinct from 2019 equipment. |
| October 2022 onward | 8-inch Display Audio; 10.5-inch Display Audio Plus with built-in navigation | Factory equipment choice, grade and option dependent. |
| October 2022 onward | In-car Wi-Fi / connected services | Optional subscription/service, not a free standard feature. |
| October 2022 onward | Drive recorder and reversing monitor | Standard on relevant grades; Toyota identifies X as an exception where these were optional. |
| 2024 ACTIVE SPORT | Special bumper, mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, sports seats, branded synthetic-leather panel and aluminium pedals | Factory special-edition equipment. |
| 2026 ACTIVE SPORT 60th Anniversary | Anniversary badging and interior detailing | Special edition only; sport-tuned suspension applies to 2WD, not E-Four. |
The earlier electric rear motor is rated at approximately 5.3 kW / 55 Nm. It is intended to improve traction when starting or on slippery roads, not for off-road driving. Choose a W×B for sportier interior/exterior details or an S for a more understated specification.
Pre-facelift rear motor output is lower than ZWE215. Buyers who want the stronger AWD hardware should prefer ZWE215.
Japanese grade labels may show Hybrid G-X, S, Double B / W x B and similar. This section covers the sedan body style only.

From October 2022 the refreshed sedan uses X, G and W×B regular grades, with ACTIVE SPORT as a later factory special edition.
| Factory grade (October 2022 onward) | Character | Genuine factory distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid W×B E-Four | Sportier premium trim | Sports-oriented seats and exterior, with updated multimedia and Toyota Safety Sense available in the facelift range. |
| Hybrid G E-Four | Balanced equipment | Mid-range comfort and equipment without all the W×B styling. |
| Hybrid X E-Four | Lower-priced entry grade | Simpler specification; equipment such as parking camera/recorder may be optional on X rather than standard. |
| Hybrid ACTIVE SPORT E-Four (from April 2024) | Factory special edition | Dedicated bumper, 17-inch wheels, sports seats, distinctive trim and pedal finishes; 2WD-only dedicated suspension tuning does not apply to E-Four. |
| Hybrid ACTIVE SPORT 60th Anniversary E-Four (from May 2026) | Factory anniversary special edition | Updated ACTIVE SPORT with 60th-anniversary logos and special interior detailing; not a replacement for W×B. |
From October 2022, the rear electric motor increases to approximately 30 kW / 84 Nm, alongside revisions to the hybrid drive, Toyota Safety Sense and display equipment. Hybrid W×B, G and X are factory trims; ACTIVE SPORT is a later factory special edition. The stronger E-Four motor does not make the Corolla a heavy-duty off-road vehicle.
Many Australian Corolla Hybrid sedans are front-wheel drive, so Australian FWD asking prices are not like-for-like with these Japan AWD examples.
