Toyota Corolla XII – Twelfth Generation (E210) (2018)

Nearing the end of 2018, Toyota decided to take a step back and retire the Auris to relaunch the Corolla in Europe. The Corolla reboot was complete, as it reintroduced three bodyworks: hatchback, sedan and station wagon.

The reason why the Japanese brand decided to rescue the Corolla brand in Europe (as it continued to be sold in America and Japan) was the fact that in 2018, the Corolla was awarded as the most-sold vehicle in the automobile history (about 44 million copies since its launch in 1966). It was for this reason that Toyota, as a tribute, made this gesture. Within Toyota’s archives, this E210 was going to be called “Toyota Auris 2019”.

As a peculiarity, no diesel engines versions are available for these cars.
