The Toyota Corolla nameplate has existed for 12 generations since 1966, making it one of the longest-surviving models. While the ninth generation was released in 2000, it was removed from the UK in 2006 and replaced with the Auris. However, Toyota decided to bring the Corolla back to our streets in 2019 and it's been available ever since.
Twelfth Generation
For its return to the UK, the Corolla Hatchback grew in length by 40mm and had a longer wheelbase. In contrast, the height was reduced by 25mm and the cowl height came down another 47mm. These changes resulted in a sleeker style and lower bonnet to improve visibility and safety.
Toyota added a new upper grille with a narrow design and LED lamps with daytime running lights. The lower grille had a mesh design, while the overall design of the car was more angular and upright than before.
