What Toyota Corolla do most buyers choose?

The Toyota Corolla years with the most listings are 2021, 2023, and 2022.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a strong mix of newer features, broad availability, and pricing that still sits below the newest model years. More listings also give you more choice on trim, colour, and condition.

What is the Toyota Corolla's resale value?

Most Corolla model years are down year over year, and several recent years show double-digit or near-double-digit declines. That pattern can work in your favour as a used buyer, since it opens up more room to find a well-equipped example at a lower price than before. The smallest changes are clustered in the older model years, which suggests those versions have been a bit steadier in the market.

The 2015, 2016, and 2018 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
