PredecessorToyota Corolla (E120)– hatchback
SuccessorToyota Corolla (E210)– hatchback, wagon

In Europe, Toyota positioned the Auris as the replacement for the Corolla hatchback, while thesaloonversion continued with the Corolla nameplate. Starting with theE210 model,the Auris nameplate was discontinued and used the Corolla nameplate instead, except for Taiwan, retained the Auris nameplate for the hatchback version until July 2020.

For the first generation only, the more luxurious Auris was namedToyota Blade(Japanese:トヨタ・ブレイド,Hepburn:Toyota Bureido)in Japan. The Auris succeeded theAllexin Japan and the Corolla RunX. Toyota Australia and Toyota New Zealand resisted suggestions from Toyota Japan to adopt the new European Auris name for the Corolla.[1]

The Japanese model went on sale atNetzdealerships on 23 October 2006, while European models went on sale in early 2007.[2]The second generation was later available atToyopet Storedealerships from 18 April 2016.

The Levin models had sports style body kits. Electricmoonroofwas only available as an option on Levin ZR. As of January 2009,ESCwas available as standard on Conquest and Levin ZR and as an option on Ascent and Levin SX.

The Australian Corolla Hatchback received a facelift during the fourth quarter of 2009. The entire body design was given a sporty makeover. Major changes were made to the front and rear fascia, wheel designs and interior trims. The "Seca" branding was removed, and the tail light design was changed.

A newer bumper design was also adapted with a special "diffuser" fitted at the bottom to give the rear a sportier look; on either side of the diffuser are reflectors which were not featured on any previous Corolla Hatchback models. The front received new grille and revised headlamps.

Fog lights were removed from the Conquest model. Ascent continued with 15-inch steel wheels, while the rest received 16-inch alloys — Conquest and Levin SX shared the same alloys. Side mirrors now featured indicators. The trim materials were also changed, along with a new D-shaped sports steering wheel available on Conquest and Levin models. Other changes were also made to equipment and technology. Moonroof was still only available as an option on Levin ZR alone.

Toyota unveiled a world premiere at the2012 Paris Motor Showof the Auris in a new estate or station wagon variant, which is 285 mm longer than the five-door hatchback. It also represents the first model in its segment to be offered with a full hybrid powertrain.

The wheelbase is kept to 2600 mm just like its five-door twin however its profile of the estate version is different, with the steeply raked windscreen flowing into the extended roofline. The estate is 285 mm longer, providing more loadspace.[38]

The rear bumper and the tailgate has a different styling, while the sill is set to be 80 mm lower than it is on its hatchback twin. The engine lineup is carried over from the hatchback, including 1.33-litre Dual VVT-i and 1.6-litre Valvematic petrol units, plus a 1.4-litre D-4D diesel. A hybrid is also sold with a 1.8-litre VVT-i petrol engine and an electric motor, providing a maximum output of 136 HP (100 kW), enough for a 0–62 mph (0–100 km/h) sprint in 10.9 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).[39]

Australia and New Zealand

edit

In Australia, the Auris continued to be called the Corolla Hatchback. Model grades are Ascent, Ascent Sport, Levin SX and Levin ZR. All models are motored by 1.8-litre engine matched to six-speed manual or CVT gearbox. TheLevinsport models have front sports seats, carbon fiber-like interior trim and 17-inch alloys. Panoramic roof is available for the top-of-the-line Levin ZR.

Meanwhile, for the New Zealand market the GX and GLX are the equivalent of Ascent and Ascent Sport. Manual transmission is only for the base GX. The GLX, as well as the sporty Levin SX and ZR come with CVT only.

Based on the Ascent hatchback, the limited edition Corolla RZ was released in 2014. It has black alloys, special decals, and upgraded interior.

The facelift model Corolla hatchback is introduced in mid-2015 with new front fascia and restyled tail lights. The Levin moniker was dropped from the sporty models, which are now simply called Corolla SX and ZR. The SX and ZR have sporty front bumper and lower body kits which distinguish them from the Ascent and Ascent Sport. The ZR is only offered with CVT.

The Hybrid model based on the Ascent Sport was released on 14 June 2016.

While the 2016 iM partially filled the void left by the discontinuedScion xB,Toyota stated that it was not a direct replacement.[44]The iM was only offered with a 1.8 L2ZR-FAEValvematicDOHC16-valve inline-four engine that produces 102 kW (137 bhp) and 171 N⋅m (126 lbf⋅ft). The engine is mated to a six-speedmanual transmissionor a continuously variable transmission (CVTi-S).

In the United States, the Scion iM sold 5,097 units in 2015.[45]Due to the discontinuation of the Scion marque in 2016, the vehicle was re-branded as theToyota Corolla iMfor the 2017 model year.[45][46]The Toyota Corolla iM therefore has the Toyota and iM emblem, but the Corolla emblem was never applied to the cars. Changes with the Corolla iM included a smaller under carriage shield that does not require removal for easier oil changes. The replaceable oil filter was changed to the spin-on type. The Corolla iM continued until it was replaced by theE210 series Corolla hatchbackin March 2018, for the 2019 model year.[47]All iM cars were manufactured in Japan.
