Toyota Corolla (E140)

The Toyota Corolla (E140/E150) is the tenth
generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla Toyota Corolla (E140/E150)
nameplate. Introduced in late 2006, this series was
replaced in 2012 in Japan, with the North American
model replaced in late 2013, and an early 2014 launch
for most other markets. The Toyota Auris replaced the
Corolla hatchback in Japan and Europe, but was still
badged "Corolla" in Australia and New Zealand.

E140 carried its MC platform over from the previous August 2007 – January
E120. The versions sold in the Americas, Southeast 2020 (South Africa)
Asia and the Middle East were based on the widened November 2007 – July 2013
edition of this platform, so they retained the E140 (North America)
designation. Models sold in Australia, Europe and

South Africa used the more sophisticated New MC

underpinnings, and were thus designated as E150.

Hong Kong

In Hong Kong, Corollas sold were based on the Japanese market models. As such, the Corolla was
only available with the 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE engine.

The Corolla sold in Hong Kong is made in Japan, although it does vary from the Japanese market
model with minor revisions to the front such as the headlamps and air dams. It is available in
Luxury and Advantage variants.

E140 wide-body
The international, wide-body version of the E140 Corolla was released from late 2006 and is larger
in dimensions, while retaining most of the styling found on the Japanese model. This variant,
which uses a wider and longer version of the Axio's platform, has styling similar to that of the
Camry's while keeping the Axio's interior. The global debut of the international variant of the tenth
generation Corolla was staged in November 2006 at the Beijing Auto Show.[17]

Asia

China

The Corolla E140 was launched at the 2006 Beijing Auto

Show and commenced production in 2007. It was built at its
plant in Tianjin, and the facelift arrived in September 2010 for
the 2011 model year. Engine and gearbox choices available
were the 1.6-litre 1ZR-FE, 1.8 litre 2ZR-FE and the 2.0-litre
3ZR-FE paired with the 5-speed manual and 4 speed-
automatic for the 1.6 GL models while the 6-speed manual
and CVT gearboxes were standard on 1.8GL, 1.8GLX and
2.0GLX models. Pricing ranged between 131,800 yuan and Toyota Corolla (China; pre-facelift)
199,800 yuan (US$25,730–$39,000). Production ended in
June 2014 when the Toyota Corolla (E170) replaced it.

India

The Indian version of the Corolla known as the 'Corolla Altis'

is assembled in Bidadi near Bangalore. The pre-facelift
version (2008–2010) had a 1.8-litre ZZ engine with 132 bhp
mated to a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
A 1.4-litre 1ND-TV diesel engine unique to India and Spain Toyota Corolla (China; facelift)
with 88 bhp mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox debuted in
2010. In 2011, the Altis was face-lifted and the older ZZ
engine was replaced by a Modern 1.8 ZR engine producing 140 bhp and was mated to a 6-speed
manual like the diesel while a CVT gearbox replaced the outdated 4-speed automatic. The diesel

was left untouched mechanically and had a different grill to differentiate it from the petrol.

Indonesia

The Corolla Altis was launched on 28 February 2008, and

offered in the base J, popular mid-level G, and luxury V trim
levels. All were powered by the 1.8-liter 1ZZ-FE engine with
VVT-i. The J is only available with manual transmission, while
the G and V are automatic only. In early 2009, the V's 1.8-liter
1ZZ-FE engine was replaced with a 2.0-liter 3ZR-FE engine,
mated to an automatic transmission. 2010 Toyota Corolla Altis 2.0 V
(Indonesia; pre-facelift)
As with the previous generation, the Corolla Altis has more
luxurious features than its western counterparts. The G and V
trim levels feature smart entry and start system and automatic climate control.

In July 2010, Toyota facelifted the Corolla Altis with new bumpers, grille, air dams, rear
combination lamps, and most importantly the new 1.8-liter 2ZR-FE engine with Dual VVT-i. The
1.8 J was replaced with new 1.8 E as the base trim level. Mated with the new engines, the base but
sporty 1.8 E received 6-speed manual transmission, while the 1.8 G and 2.0 V came with a CVT.

Malaysia

As with Indonesia, the Corolla Altis was launched in March

2008 in Malaysia as well. It was offered in 5 variants – 1.8G,
1.8G Sporty, 1.8E, 1.8E Sporty and 1.6E. All variants were
equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine model with the exception of
the 1.6E, that used the 3ZZ-FE engine. Manual transmission
for the Corolla Altis was not available in Malaysia. Each of
these 5 variants came with 4-speed automatic transmission
with Super ECT.

Output for the 1.8 model was 97 kW @6000 rpm with

170 N⋅m (130 lb⋅ft)@4200 rpm. Output for the 1.6 model was
80 kW @6000 rpm with 145 N⋅m (107 lb⋅ft)@4400 rpm.

On 23 September 2010, a facelifted Corolla Altis was launched

where the ZZ engines were replaced with ZR engines. Toyota
Malaysia has designated the new variants as 2.0V, 1.8G, 1.8E Corolla Altis 1.8 E (Malaysia;
and 1.6E. All variants' engines are mated with CVT – except facelift)
the 1.6E remained with Super ECT 4-speed automatic
transmission.[18]

Toyota Corolla (E140) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_(E140)

In Pakistan, the E140 Corolla was launched in August 2008. It

was offered in 4 trim levels: XLi, GLi, Corolla Altis and
Corolla Diesel. The facelift version was launched in April 2011.

The XLi is offered with Toyota's 85 hp, 1.3L 2NZ-FE engine.

Pakistan was the only market to use the 2NZ-FE in the
Corolla. This model does not have airbags, ABS or power
windows. It is only offered in two colours, black and white.
2013 Toyota Corolla 1.6 GLi
(Pakistan; facelift)
The GLi is offered with the same 1.3L engine as the XLi but it
comes equipped with ABS, and power windows. No airbags
are offered on this model. Metallic colours are available in the
GLi.

The Corolla diesel has 2 trim levels: Corolla 2.0D and the
Corolla 2.0D Saloon.

The Corolla 2.0D comes equipped with Toyota's 1989 2C

engine which produces 74 hp. The model does not have
airbags, ABS or power windows. It is only offered in two Toyota Corolla interior (Pakistan)
colours, black and white.

The Corolla 2.0D Saloon has the same engine as the Corolla 2.0D. The model is only available with
a 5-speed manual. The 2.0D Saloon comes equipped with alloy rims, side skirts, optitron
speedometer, wooden inserts in the interior and a single driver side airbag. Optional extra on the
model is the sunroof.

The facelift for the Corolla was launched on 11 April 2011. Initially only the XLi and GLi trims were
available, with modifications to the front and rear lights, front grill, and bumpers, along with a
revised interior colour scheme. The 1.8L Corolla Altis with 1ZZ-FE engine was suspended replaced
with the 1.6L Corolla Altis with the 1ZR-FE engine producing 124 bhp. The facelift Altis was
launched in May 2011. The Altis comes equipped with sideskirts, wooden inserts in the interior,
optitron speedometer, 5-spoke alloy rims, fog lamps, power windows, power seats, ABS with EBD,
driver side SRS airbag and a 6-speed (forward) manual transmission. Optional on the Altis is a
4-speed super ECT automatic transmission and sunroof.

The GLi is also offered with a 4-speed super ECT automatic transmission and the 1.6L 1ZR-FE
engine, the same on the Altis. This version of the GLi is the same as the 1.3L GLi, albeit with the
1.6L engine and the 4-speed ECT automatic transmission, hence making it very similar to the Altis,
save for the alloy rims, side skirts and the wooden inserts in the interior.

Philippines

The tenth generation Corolla was launched as the Corolla Altis in the Philippines on 7 March
2008. It has three variants, the 2.0 and 1.6 V, both with automatic transmission, the 1.6 G,
available in either manual or automatic transmission, and the 1.6 E, with manual transmission.
The 1.6-liter engine is the same 3ZZ-FE motor used in the ninth generation Corolla, whereas the
2.0-liter variant is powered by the new 3ZR-FE engine equipped with Dual VVT-i technology.

Toyota Motors Philippines upgraded the Corolla Altis in September 2010. The 2.0V is equipped
with CVT to replace the 4-speed AT while the manual transmission for the 1.6 variants have 6
gears instead of the previous 5. All variants have a slight increase in power and are equipped with
Dual VVT-i technology.[20]

A minor update to the Altis was launched in the later part of 2011. It now has a redesigned front

Toyota Corolla (E140) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_(E140)

and rear fascia and updated wheel designs. It now has powered windows and central-locking doors
as standard. It has 4 variants:

2.0 V (3ZR-FE)
Sport variant, only available with a CVT and Paddle Shift. It has a mesh grille instead of the
bar-type, smoked High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps with Manual Levelling and rear
combination lamps, wipers with Auto Rain Sensor, Leather Seats, powered seats, mirrors and
windows, and sports package pre-installed.
1.6 V (1ZR-FE)
Range-topping variant, has almost the same specs as the 2.0V, except the mesh grille and
sport packages, although these are optional. It is only available with a 4-speed automatic
transmission.
1.6 G (1ZR-FE)
Middle variant, with an option for a 4-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. Has
the same specs as the V variant without leather seats.
1.6 E (1ZR-FE)
Base variant, only available with a 6-speed manual transmission, with much fewer options,
color choices. No leather seats, no auto climate control; air conditioning however is standard,
no fog lamps, no Toyota alarm system.

Singapore

Singapore received the Corolla Altis with the same 1.6-litre

3ZZ-FE and 1.8-litre 1ZZ-FE engines used in the previous
generation. Only automatic transmissions were available to
meet Euro IV emissions standards. It was available in LX and
Elegance trims with the latter having leather seats and
touchscreen audio head-unit with reverse camera included.

In September 2010, the facelifted model of the Altis was

introduced and it is the same as the Thai and Malaysian
models utilising the latest Dual VVT-i engines (i.e. 1ZR-FE)
for the 1.6-litre version and was upgraded to Euro V emissions
standards. The Altis in Singapore are marketed in both 1.6
and 1.8-litre versions just like the former model. The 1.6
model used to be Singapore's No.1 Car for consecutive
years.[21] Corolla Altis 1.6 (Singapore; pre-
facelift)
There is also a Japanese market model (including Axio sedan
and Fielder wagon) available under parallel import status
(parallel dealers buy the vehicle overseas and do the shipping, custom declaration, vehicle testing
& warranty by themselves) from smaller agencies instead of buying from the local dealer. Grades
available are the standard X variant and the higher-spec G variant. The Japanese market model,
along with the Japanese market Camry and Wish, are used widely as CNG-fitted taxis.

Sri Lanka

A Japanese-built version of the Corolla sedan is sold in Sri Lanka. The petrol version is offered
with the 1.6-litre 3ZZ engine while the diesel version on offer has the 2-litre 2C engine with
5-speed manual transmission only. The body shape is same as ASEAN-marketed Corolla Altis
design. This model is locally known as the Corolla 141.

Thailand

Toyota Corolla (E140) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_(E140)

The Corolla Altis introduced in Thailand on 5 December 2007, which currently manufactures the
Corolla Altis, is offered a total of four grades (J, E, G and V). Thailand is currently the only country
that offers all existing grades of the new Altis, whilst export markets are only given a fraction of
the Thai range in varying combinations.

The 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre variants of the facelifted Corolla Altis are fitted with Super CVT-i
gearbox while the 1.6-litre variants remain using the same 4-speed auto gearbox as earlier.[22]
Grades available for the Corolla Altis in Thailand varies from the basic 1.6J to the high spec 2.0V
Navi variant. The facelifted 1.8-litre variant is fitted with the 2ZR-FBE Flexifuel engine.

North America

The North American Corolla (E140) has a completely different

exterior design than the Japanese Corolla Axio, and instead
retains the ASEAN-marketed Corolla Altis design. This
Corolla was unveiled on 31 October 2007, at the SEMA show
in Las Vegas, started production in November 2007 and
became available in USA dealerships in January 2008, as a
2009 model. Only the sedan is sold, although the second
generation Corolla Matrix (commonly referred to as just Corolla XRS (US; pre-facelift)
"Matrix"), which shares the E140 platform and engines, is
considered the Corolla's hatchback counterpart.

The new Corolla has similar styling cues to its bigger brother,
the Toyota Camry, while also having styling commonality with
its little brother, the Yaris.[23] Overall driving dynamics have
been improved compared to its predecessor through the use
of a new Electronic Power Steering system as well as an
upgraded suspension and improved chassis. The interior
quality has been improved through the use of new materials
and the addition of much more room for passengers.[24]
Reviewers note that the Corolla represents a gradual evolution
over the previous iteration, without straying too far from the
formula as a plain but reliable, fuel-efficient, simple and
Corolla LE (US; pre-facelift)
inexpensive form of transportation.[25][26]

A total of five trim levels (Standard, S, LE, XLE and XRS) are
being offered in the US,[27] Canada has 4 trim levels (CE, LE, Sport (or S) and XRS). The LE and S
have a similar MSRP and are very similar mechanically, the main differences being the S's spoiler,
underskirts and silver interior highlights. The XRS also has a spoiler and underskirts like the S,
but it has a larger 2.4 L engine, rear disc brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, and standard stability
and traction control.

The base (standard and CE) and S trims are available with either a five-speed manual or four-
speed automatic transmission, while the LE (unlike the previous generation) and XLE are
automatic only. The XRS grade is equipped with the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE I4 engine, the same one used
in the Camry, good for 158 hp (118 kW) and 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) of torque, with a choice of five-
speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions.[28] The XRS takes 7.9 seconds to 60 mph
(97 km/h) and 16.0 seconds for the quarter-mile. All other trims have Toyota's new 1.8-liter 2ZR-
FE four-cylinder engine with 132 horsepower (98 kW) and 128 pound-feet (174 N⋅m) of torque.[28]
Corollas with the 1.8-liter engine have an EPA fuel economy rating of 27 mpg city/35 mpg
highway. The 2.4-liter is rated at 22 mpg/30 mpg with the automatic and 22 mpg/29 mpg with the

manual. All engines are ULEV II certified. Toyota carried over the 13.2 gal fuel tank from earlier
models.[29] In order to help improve fuel economy, the new Corolla uses an electric-power-
steering unit instead of a belt-driven-hydraulic pump.

The Corolla offers technological conveniences such as an auxiliary audio jack for MP3 players,
upgraded JBL audio, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a
purse hook,[31] and a hands-free Bluetooth mobile phone system. Traction control and Vehicle
Stability Control (VSC) are standard on the top-of-the-line XRS, and are available as options on
the US market LE and XLE trims.

In 2009 (2010 US model year vehicles), S models received the Optitron XRS gauges as standard
equipment and new 16-inch steel wheel cover designs. XLE models were now available with an
optional automatic climate control and a metallic finish to the steering wheel panels. All models
now have The Star Safety System includes Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control
(TRAC), Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist
(BA) and Smart Stop Technology brake override system as standard equipment.

In Mexico, the Corolla is offered in 3 trim levels: LE which comes standard with 16-inch steel
wheels and wheel covers and with both manual and automatic transmission, then the mid-range
XLE now comes with 16-inch alloy wheels and wood inserts in the interior and it is only available
with an automatic transmission, and the XRS with the 2.4-liter 2AZ-FE I4 engine. The Mexican-
spec Corolla is built at the Cambridge plant in Ontario. Canada, Mexico and the U.S. are the only
countries that receive the Corolla from this assembly plant.

For the 2011 model year, the XRS and XLE trims were
discontinued for the US market (XRS is still available in
Canada). The revised Corolla features new front and rear
exterior styling and interior design changes, including a
redesigned front grille, front and rear bumpers, new wheel
designs, rear chrome garnish, rear combination lamps and
trunk lid. The interior adds a metallic trim (LE and S trims),
new fabrics and a sport tilt/telescopic steering wheel (S
grade). Corolla also features two new colors, Nautical Blue
Metallic and Sandy Beach Metallic. New standard features for
the LE trim include cruise control, Remote Keyless Entry, two
additional audio speakers and variable intermittent
windshield wipers with a mist cycle. The S trim adds standard
cruise control, Remote Keyless Entry, 16-inch alloy wheels Toyota Corolla (US; facelift)
and a color-keyed rear deck spoiler.[32]

In 2011 (for the 2012 model year), the Corolla received a few
feature upgrades, including a new standard audio system with the USB port, Bluetooth and
steering audio controls for the US and Canadian LE trim. The US Corolla L received power

windows, power door locks and remote keyless entry.[33]

The Corolla comes standard with dual front airbags, front and rear row side curtain airbags and
front row side torso airbags. ABS and active headrests are also standard.[34] Beginning in 2009
(2010 model year), Toyota's Vehicle Stability Control and traction control became standard on all
trims.[35]

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Corolla its U.S. NHTSA crash test ratings
Top Safety Pick accolade. The Corolla earned a Good overall score (2009)[36]
in the front impact crash test, with Good marks in all six Frontal Driver:
measured front impact categories. And the Corolla received
another Good overall score for the side impact crash test. The Frontal Passenger:
Corolla nearly earned perfect marks in all nine measured side Side Driver:
impact test categories but was given an Average score for rear
Side Rear Passenger:
passenger pelvis/leg protection. However the Corolla earned a
Good rating in the side impact structure/safety category which is Rollover:
uncommon in compact car segment.[34]

Certain 2009 to 2010 model year Toyota Corolla (mainly U.S.-built models with VIN# beginning
in "1NX" or "2T1") were subject to the 2010 Toyota vehicle recalls regarding floor mat and
accelerator pedal replacement.[37]

On 10 October 2012, Toyota issued a recall for 2009 model year Corolla and Matrix, along with 10
other models. The recall notices states that improperly lubricated driver's side power window
master switch may develop a “notchy” or sticky feel, and that improper aftermarket lubrication
may present a fire hazard. The repair involves lubricating the switch assembly with a special
fluorine grease.[38]

South America

The tenth generation Corolla was launched in Brazil on 26 March 2008, and in Argentina in April
2008. It was produced in Brazil with two engines (a 1.6 and a 1.8-liter gasoline engine –
gasoline/ethanol in Brazil) and three models: the base XLi, the intermediate XEi and the higher
spec SEG.

The 2.0 VVTi Flex was added in March 2010. All versions are based on the wide-body sedan.

Bolivia

The Toyota Corolla E150 Made in Japan is sold in Bolivia by Toyota Bolivia. Grey imports allow
sale in Bolivia US Spec from USA/Canada/Japan and Corolla Axio from Japan.

Jamaica

The tenth generation Corolla went on sale in Jamaica in October 2007. It is available in 1.5L and
1.8L models. The 1.5L breaks down into two models; the first of which comes without alloy wheels
and fog lamps and the other with alloy wheels and fog lamps. The 1.8L model however, comes
standard with leather interior and a sunroof. All models feature 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

E150 wide-body
The E150 version appears identical to the E140 wide-body, but it has different, more sophisticated
underpinnings based on the New MC platform.

Africa

South Africa

This generation of the Corolla was launched in South Africa in September 2007. Unlike in some
countries, Corolla mainly refers to the sedan and not the hatchback, which in South Africa is
known as the Toyota Auris. This generation is lower and wider than its predecessor. Toyota South
Africa achieved a new all-time sales record for the South African motor industry in October 2007
with the Corolla (including Auris) leading the vehicle sales chart.

Toyota's manufacturing plant in Durban provides the Corolla, Hilux and Fortuner model exports
to Europe. The European-spec Corolla made in Durban has been awarded a EURO NCAP 5-star
rating (applies to all models in the range with knee airbags).

The car is available in the following models: 2.0 Diesel (Exclusive, Advanced); 1.8 Petrol
(Exclusive, Exclusive Auto, Advanced); 1.6 Petrol (Advanced, Professional); and 1.4 Petrol
(Advanced, Professional).

From the start of June 2014 the Corolla was re-launched as the Corolla Quest, which is a scaled-
down model with less features as to target the entry level class B buyers. The Quest has been
released with 1.6-litre engine in both 6-speed manual and 4-speed auto transmissions.[39]

Australasia

Australia

The new Corolla was introduced

to the Australian market on 18
May 2007. It is available in both
sedan and hatchback models,
with more safety features and
higher levels of luxury. The new
1.8-litre 2ZR-FE Dual VVT-i - Corolla Ascent (Australia; pre- Corolla Ascent (Australia; pre-
with variable valve timing for facelift) facelift)
both intake and exhaust
camshafts - will be the only
engine available for the
Australian model, promising
better fuel economy than before,
it also regains its 100 kW power
output. This figure decreased
when the old model's 1.8-litre
four-cylinder engine dropped to Corolla Ascent (Australia; Corolla Ascent (Australia; facelift)
93 kW of power and 161 Nm of facelift)
torque (from 171 Nm) in late
2005 to meet the 2006 Euro IV
emissions requirements. A new 6-speed manual gearbox is standard, with a 4-speed automatic
optional, despite speculation of a 5-speed like the new Honda Civic, a robotized 5-speed optional
in the European Auris, or a CVT available in the Japanese model.

All Australian models of Corolla run on the E150 platform, unlike the North American and Asian
versions. Therefore, certain chassis parts are not interchangeable.

Toyota Corolla (E140) - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla_(E140)

The new Corolla is

available in 5 trim levels
for the hatch (Ascent,
Ascent Sport, Conquest,
Levin SX and Levin ZR)
and 4 for the sedan
(Ascent, Ascent Sport,
Conquest and Ultima - Corolla Ascent Sport (Australia;
auto only), with the facelift)

Interior
Corolla wagon
discontinued in Australia.
The Levin ZR and Ultima grade features HID xenon
headlamps, rain sensing wipers, smart entry and start system and automatic climate control.
Safety equipment levels has also been improved with ABS brakes and dual airbags standard across
the range, whilst side, curtain, driver's knee airbag and stability and traction control is optional on
Ascent and Levin SX models and standard on Conquest, Levin ZR and Ultima models from
December 2008 production. Other changes from December 2008 production included a revised
6-speed manual transmission across all models except the auto only Ultima sedan that has
improved gear ratios and the adoption of smart entry activation on front passenger and back door
on Levin ZR model. Although the new hatch is badged Auris name in most world markets, the
Corolla name was retained for the Australian market.

Tested at 9.7 seconds to 100 km/h for the manual model, it is more than half a second slower than
its predecessor. This is likely on account of its weight, a hefty 1300 kg, which is curiously more
than the Civic unlike before wherein it was usually lighter. The automatic also has widely spaced
ratios due to the lack of a fifth gear, giving sluggish acceleration, definitely not maximizing the
engine potential. The Corolla received a 4 star ANCAP safety rating for occupant safety and a 3
star rating for pedestrian safety.[40]

New Zealand

Like Australia, all models are marketed under the Corolla nameplate. The range is similar to the
Australian range with the same engines and drivetrain, however, models are designated as the
base GX and higher spec GLX. What distinguishes the New Zealand range from the rest of the
world is the addition of the Corolla Fielder wagon, which is otherwise only seen in the Japan
market. With station wagons so popular in New Zealand, demand of the previous model was
enough to justify it. New Zealand is the only export market for the wagon. It is marketed as the
Corolla GX Wagon with the 1NZ-FE engine. While the hatch and sedan feature the 1.8-litre 2ZR-
FE Dual VVT-i, the wagon features the Japanese market 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC
VVT-i engine. It is specified lower than the GX model hatch and sedan due to the wagon being
aimed at the price-conscious fleet market and is priced accordingly. The hatchback gained two
diesel motors in June 2008, with both the 1.4 and 2.0 D4-D engines joining the local range, albeit
only with manual transmissions. The diesel cars are European spec models built in Japan, the 1.4
version having its motor shipped from Europe to be placed in the New Zealand spec cars.

Toyota was widely criticized by the motoring press for selling the new Corolla in Australia and
New Zealand without Electronic Stability Control, which can reduce the chances of a fatal accident
by up to 55%. Electronic Stability Control has been available on American versions of the Corolla
for several years. The stability control concern was partially addressed with the diesel Corollas
offering ESC as standard. The facelift in 2010 saw the addition of this device on all models bar the
Japan spec Wagon.

In Ireland, the E150 series Corolla was launched in December

2006 for sale in January 2007. That made it one of the first Euro NCAP test results
countries in the world to receive this model. The saloon
version is available along with the Auris (and an Auris van) Corolla (2007)[41]

Adult occupant: 34
trim levels (estate is not available). European models are
built in Turkey and Japan. Saloon versions are more popular Child occupant: 39
in Ireland than the recently launched Auris.
