Launched in 1966 as an affordable family car, the Toyota Corolla quickly became a symbol of reliable, economical motoring and reached the US for the 1968 model year.
Early Corollas were rear-wheel drive; the line switched to front-wheel drive in the 1980s, the lone exception being the rear-drive AE86 (1984–1987), a drifting and motorsport cult car.
By the 2020s cumulative production had surpassed 50 million units, making the Corolla the best-selling car model of all time; the modern line spans sedan, hatchback, and hybrid forms, topped by the turbocharged GR Corolla.
