History and Development

The Corolla E120 is the ninth generation of the Toyota model that was released in 2001. The new car featured sharper styling lines and superior technology so it could be apt to enter the new millennium (21st century). In Southeast Asia the E120 and E130 series Corolla is commercialized as the Corolla Altis.   This car is supposed to satisfy several market categories, as it is built in so diverse trim levels that range from easily affordable to premium versions, thus being considered a “global”, versatile and popular car. In 2005, 30 million copies of the Corolla had been built. Toyota completely ceased worldwide production of the ninth generation Corolla in 2008.
