TheToyota Corolla (E160) is the eleventh generation of theToyota Corolla that is sold in Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Singapore and Sri Lanka. For international markets, the larger and substantially differentCorolla (E170/E180) is offered instead. The E160 was derived from theToyota B platform, unlike the E170/E180, which was based on theNew MC platform.
As with the preceding E140 models, the sedan/saloon version of the E160 is namedCorolla Axio in the Japanese market; the station wagon/estate version carries theCorolla Fielder designation. The Japanese market Corolla Axio is shorter in length and narrower in width than the global version (E170), and engines are kept below 2.0-litres, so as to be in compliance with Japanese Governmentdimension regulations so that Japanese buyers have a reducedroad tax.
The eleventh generation of the Corolla went on sale in Japan in May 2012.[5] Both are made by a Toyota subsidiary,Central Motors, inMiyagi prefecture, Japan.[6]
Trim levels available for the Axio are Luxel (1.5 only, later replaced by the W×B package for G), G, and X. This is also true for the Corolla Fielder (wagon variant), although the Fielder also includes a 1.8S and a 1.8S AeroTourer W×B (later replaced by 1.8S W×B) trim.
Toyota releasedhybrid versions of the Corolla Axio sedan and Corolla Fielder station wagon for the Japanese market in August 2013. Both cars are equipped with a 1.5-litre hybrid system similar to the one used in theToyota Prius c, with afuel efficiency of 3.03 L/100 km (93.2 mpg‑imp; 77.6 mpg‑US) under theJC08 test cycle.[7]
TheMitsuoka Ryugi sedan and wagon for the Japanese market was based on the E160 Corolla.[8]

In Hong Kong, the Corolla was based on the Japanese market model,[11] initially available with the 1.5-litre1NZ-FE engine in Advantage and Luxury trim levels.[12] The smaller 1.5 L engine and car size contributes to alower vehicle license levy.
In April 2015, Toyota in Hong Kong released the facelift model with the 1.5-litre2NR-FKE engine in Luxury and Super Luxury trim levels.[13][14]
The Corolla sold in Hong Kong is made in Japan, although it does vary from the Japanese market model with minor revisions to the interior, such as the inclusion of the tachometer and automatic climate air conditioning control in the Super Luxury variant.
The wagon is also sold in New Zealand, aimed primarily at business and fleet customers. Available solely in GX trim, it includes a tachometer, but otherwise is very similar to the Japanese model wagon. Manual transmission and CVT are both available.[15] Toyota New Zealand released the facelift model in July 2015.[16][17]
In April 2015, Toyota released the facelift versions of the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder in Japan. This version featured a raised front bumper, revised headlamps with LED projector lens and grille, revised front fenders, revised tail lamps and"Toyota Safety Sense" collision avoidance system.
On 10 October 2017, Toyota released a second facelift to the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder in Japan. This version featured a revised front bumper and grille, an intelligent clearance sonar (parking support brake) and standard "Toyota Safety Sense".
The E160 Corolla was mainly replaced by the largerE210 Corolla in September 2019. However, it remained in production exclusively for fleet sales. On 27 August 2019, theEX trim was announced, replacing theX trim, specializing in demand for business users. The engine lineup includes 1.5-litre petrol and 1.5-litre hybrid versions, with "Toyota Safety Sense" and a smart entry and start system as standard equipment, and all four colour variations.[citation needed]
In 2022 a minor third facelift occurred that added smoked out headlights and taillights and standard LED projection lights.[citation needed]
In February 2025, Toyota announced that production of the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder would end in October 2025 after 13 years.[18][19]
