The Toyota Corolla: compact car from 1966 to 2022

Launched in 1966, the Toyota Corolla became Japan’s best selling car in 1969, and held its place until 2001. Over 50 million Corollas were sold in 140 countries by the end of 2021 (20 million of those cars sold from 2011 to 2021 alone!), the Corolla is the world’s best-selling car ever, topping the Beetle. The new Corolla has more of what made the car so popular, with a new engine and chassis.

The 2022 Toyota Corolla starts at $20,075 in the United States. That includes a standard 7-inch touchscreen, with 8-inch displays on the LE and up, and wired Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Alexa. Corolla models include a hybrid and a performance version with a much hotter engine.

The Corolla was the USA’s second-best selling compact in 2021; 248,993 Corollas were sold in the USA, close to Honda’s 263,787 Civic sales (for what it’s worth, 313,795 Camrys easily beat 202,676 Accords). 2020-2022 Corolla • 2019-2022 Corolla Hatch • 2018 Corolla info and specs • Engines
