Twelve generations in, and the Toyota Corolla still holds the top rank in sales and popularity. Overseas, in Japan, Toyota launched the Corolla in 1966. By 1968, the Corolla had made its way to the United States, and by 1974 it was on its way to securing the title of the world's best-selling vehicle. Through the years, with its growing sales, the Toyota Corolla line grew as well, giving its existing loyal followers a reason to stay while becoming more appealing to new enthusiasts with a variety of models to choose from.
First-generation Toyota Corollas, which were for model years 1966 through 1970, were available in two different body types. Depending on what drivers needed for their lifestyle and their commuting, the original Corolla came as a two or four-door sedan and a two-door wagon, both of which were equipped with innovative features that were mostly found on high-class models. Not to mention a roomy interior compared with others in the compact segment, which made it a very desirable option for those on a budget.
During a time when people needed their vehicles for more than just their commute, the Toyota Corolla satisfied all of their needs. By the sixth-generation, Corollas that rolled out into the market in 1987 through 1991, the Toyota Corolla was not only available in four different body types versus the previous two that it began with, but with the demand of consumers, the new-generation Corolla provided its drivers with a driving experience satisfying all of their senses. It provided drivers with a customizable performance through its wide range of engine options and an interior designed well beyond its class, equipped with luxurious materials and features aesthetically appealing to the mind, body, and soul.
Jumping quickly to the twelfth generation, which started in 2019, the Toyota Corolla continues to satisfy drivers around the world. For this generation, the Corolla started with availability as a hatchback, station wagon, and a sedan around the world, and due to increased demand in power choices, Toyota responded with a new hybrid powertrain giving Corolla’s drivers an even more efficient option to choose. While continuing to maximize the Corolla’s performance options, Toyota also focused on improving its interior, making it even more luxurious to match its sleek yet aggressive exterior appearance without interfering with the Corolla’s ability to provide its drivers a level of comfort exceeding all of their expectations.

With a proven track record of affordability and reliability, always exceeding the expectations drivers had regarding performance, style, comfort, and safety, the 2022 Toyota Corolla will follow the trend from years prior. It will likely become the best model year yet with its array of body types, fit for anyone’s lifestyle with premium designs, advanced features, and exceptional performances across the board. Its future seems promising, and the Corolla will likely continue its reign as one of the best-selling vehicles in the world.
For 2022, Toyota continues the production of the well-known Corolla sedan. The Corolla is the compact yet spacious, four-door sedan model, available in an array of exterior paint colors and trim levels to fit any driver’s style and personality. No matter how aggressive and sporty the exterior may appear and the performance is, with your choice between two engines and a manual or automatic transmission, when you're in the driver's seat, you and your passengers will feel like royalty. Toyota has also continued with the famous Corolla Hatchback for 2022. This four-door compact hatchback model is almost as customizable as the sedan, but unlike the sedan, it is available with only one engine option.
The Corolla will also be available as a Hybrid model offering the best fuel economy of all its models, with an estimated combined 52 MPG. Furthermore, an all-new subcompact SUV model will join the lineup. The Toyota Corolla Cross is taking the Corolla farther than ever before with the addition of all-wheel drive and interior cabin space.
