It takes a long time for a brand to build a reputation of reliability, efficiency, and power. For most big brands, this comes in the form of one big breakout model, and for Toyota, that model was easily the Toyota Corolla. By the time it made its way to America, it only took a few years for it to become a global best-seller.

The Toyota Corolla was first introduced in 1966, but it wouldn’t make its way to America until 1968. The idea was to create a car that was compact, efficient, and reliable, and soon, Toyota saw just how effective this idea was. By 1974, the Toyota Corolla was the global best-seller, and by 2000, it made up 20 percent of Toyota’s worldwide sales. It’s been a consistent winner for the brand, as no matter which generation you look at, you’ll find a comfortable interior, an efficient engine, and great features.
While it’s possible that you find older versions of the Corolla, you’ll likely be finding the 11th generation and upward. The 11th generation arrived in America in 2014, and it comes equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission, a Touchscreen Infotainment System, Automatic Climate Control on the LE trim and above, and smart safety features like standard Forward Collision Warning. The 12th generation is even more recent, arriving in North America in 2020. It has smart tech features and it’s even more efficient than the 11th generation.
The Corolla has always been designed with efficiency in mind, so you can expect to have great mileage regardless of which year you happen to find. The most recent version of the Corolla can get up to a manufacturer-estimated 35 mpg combined, while the Corolla Hybrid can get up to a manufacturer-estimated 50 mpg combined. With impressive mileage like this, you won’t have to worry about constantly stopping at the gas station. These aren’t the only versions of the Corolla either, as there’s also the Corolla Hatchback and the GR Corolla.
