Early History
Did you know that the Toyota Corolla has held the title of best-selling car in the world nearly since its inception in 1966? The first generation lasted until 1970 when it was replaced with the second-generation model. The third generation, in 1974, became the global best-selling vehicle. That generation saw additions to the lineup, like a two-door liftback, as well as design changes and technological advances.
Through the years, the Toyota Corolla has been available in rear-wheel, front-wheel, and four-wheel drive. By the end of the 20th century, there had been eight generations of Toyota Corolla, and it had become the nameplate with the most models sold worldwide.
Modern History
The Toyota Corolla entered its 12th generation in 2018, and by 2021, more than 50 million models of Toyota Corolla vehicles had been sold worldwide. The 2024 Toyota Corolla continues to deliver the same capability and safety drivers could always expect from the model in the past, with two powerful engine options and a maximum output of 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. It’s the latest tech and capability but the same great Toyota Corolla feel and reliability.
