Toyota Corolla: prices and specifications

Toyota Corolla belongs to the "crown" family of the Japanese brand and debuted in 1966. The model's name is translated from Latin as "small crown": the C-class car received it for its compact size compared to the larger Crown, Corona, and later Camry.

In 1997, the Corolla became the best-selling car in the world, overtaking the previous leader Volkswagen Beetle, and won the title of "European Car of the Year." By 2012, over 39 million units had been sold worldwide in five body styles: sedan, three- and five-door hatchbacks, station wagon, and liftback. Currently, the eleventh generation (index E160) is produced, introduced in 2010 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The first four generations were based on a rear-wheel drive platform, and since 1984, the Corolla switched to front-wheel drive with optional all-wheel drive. Over time, some body versions were discontinued or separated into individual models — for example, in 2006, the Corolla hatchback became the Auris. Assembly is established in Japan, Brazil, Canada, China, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, and Venezuela. The station wagon and liftback were also produced in the UK.

In Ukraine, the tenth generation of the model is officially supplied, with deliveries starting in 2011. The car is available as a sedan on the front-wheel drive platform E150 (for other markets, there is also a station wagon). The Corolla is equipped with two gasoline engines: 1.33 liters (budget version Corolla City) and 1.6 liters. Transmissions — six-speed manual and four-speed automatic.
