The Toyota Corolla was totally redesigned last year, meaning the world's bestselling automobile is new from the ground up. The most obvious difference is the styling. The Corolla is now one of the best-looking compact cars out there, looking longer and lower than it actually is, with a large, sporty grille and more aggressive headlights. Inside, the new car rides better and offers more usable room for drivers and passengers. Toyota has added a hybrid system to the Corolla, borrowing technology from the legendary Prius to offer some truly eye-opening fuel economy numbers. After the successful launch of the 12th generation Corolla last year, there will not be many changes expected for the 2021 model. Perhaps some cosmetic additions.

For 2019, the Toyota Corolla carries over unchanged.

The Toyota Corolla has been primarily a sedan for the past 20 years, but with 2019, Toyota is bringing back the hatchback body style. Some of Toyota's most iconic fun cars have been hatchbacks and Toyota has been quick to embrace this connection, tuning the new Corolla Hatchback to be more fun, engaging and quick to get around corners than its more grown up sedan counterpart. Of course, the main purpose of a hatchback is to provide extra practicality and interior space while keeping similar exterior dimensions to the sedan. The Corolla Hatchback succeeds here as well, providing lots of space for both its occupants and their cargo.

For 2018, the Toyota Corolla carries over unchanged.

The 2017 Corolla gets a few notable changes to the exterior styling, some interior improvements, a few new safety features and a new special edition for 2017. On the outside of the car, a new grill is flanked by new LED headlights, while a new 16-inch wheel design further spices up the exterior. Inside, the 2017 Corolla gets higher quality seating materials and a redesigned climate control panel. New safety features for 2017 include Toyota's Safety Sense-P electronics suite as well as a standard backup camera. A new special edition celebrates fifty years of the Corolla, and includes a unique paint and trim color combo, special gray-painted 17" wheels and upgraded contrast-stitched upholstery.

The Toyota Corolla carries over into 2016 with few changes, though a new Special Edition features unique appointments, including 17-inch gloss black alloy wheels, black interior with red stitching and more.

The Toyota Corolla carries over into 2015 unchanged. Base prices start at $16,900.

The Toyota Corolla is completely redesigned for 2014. The new car boasts a much more stylish and aggressive look than in years past, with standard LED headlights and an overall longer, lower and wider presence. The result is a larger cabin for passenger comfort, including more legroom. Inside, the Corolla features premium materials and improved standard features, with plenty of technology to keep owners connected to the information and entertainment they crave. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is now available, which boosts fuel efficiency in Corollas so equipped. A new Corolla LE Eco trim level does all it can to maximize fuel economy, with a revised 1.8L 4-cylinder delivering an EPA combined 35 mpg.

The 2013 Corolla gets a few minor visual upgrades to the exterior of the car. Most notable is a new grill design, but LE Corollas also get a chrome strip around the beltline giving the car a more upmarket look. The LE and S trims also get an upgraded Display Audio system featuring a 6.1-inch touchscreen and six speakers.

The base model gets power locks and windows and keyless entry as standard equipment. There's a new upgraded stereo available on the base corolla as well-- it includes a USB port with iPod support, Bluetooth and steering wheel audio controls. The LE's standard wheels are 16-inch ones over last year's 15-inch ones. The LE and S optional stereo now includes navigation, a 6-inch touchscreen display and satellite radio.

The Corolla gets a significant re-work for 2011. It now comes in only three trims, and all Corollas utilize the same 1.8L 4-cylinder engine.

Following a redesign last year, the popular Toyota Corolla sees no price increase on any of its trim levels for 2010, even though traction control and vehicle stability control are now standard. An optional 5-speed automatic replaces the optional 4-speed auto on 1.8L models. Otherwise, the Corolla remains largely unchanged.

The new Toyota Corolla is only about 2.5 inches wider and about an inch shorter in height than the previous version, but it has been completely redesigned for 2009 and borrows some styling cues from the latest Camry sedan along with more luxury and convenience features. Five exterior colors, all metallic, are new to the lineup: Classic Silver, Magnetic Gray, Barcelona Red, Capri Sea, and Blue Streak.

The Toyota Corolla is carried over to 2008 unchanged; it will be completely redesigned for 2009.

The 2007 Corolla is the latest incarnation of the eighth generation of Toyota's progenitor of the affordable compact car. The sporty Corolla XRS has been discontinued for 2007, but little else has changed as the ninth generation is expected to be unveiled for the 2009 model year.
