COROLLA / NZE-120 / 2004-2008

Ninth generation (E120, E130; 2003–2008)

In August 2000, the ninth-generation Corolla was introduced in Japan, with edgier styling and more technology to bring the nameplate into the 21st century. In 2002, the Corolla was given a refreshed facelift and it grew in length with similar body panels and interior. The facelifted Corolla since then is called Corolla Altis in the ASEAN region. The station wagon model is called the Corolla Fielder in Japan. The North American release was delayed until March 2002 (for the 2003 model year).

Production in Japan ended in January 2007 (for Corolla Runx and Allex)^[7] but production in North America continued until October 2008.
