Introduced in 2000 and kept in production until 2002, the new Corolla represented the ninth generation of the car which is regarded as the most popular version of this model.
This Corolla version has also been used by Pontiac to develop the Vibe, which in its turn, was marketed by the Japanese company Toyota as the Voltz on the domestic market. Manufactured in numerous plants around the world (California, Japan, Turkey, South Africa, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia etc.), the European flavor of the new Corolla was available in multiple engine versions, ranging from 1.4 liter gasoline to 2.0 liter diesel, producing between 89 and 215 horsepower.
