Toyota Corolla celebrates 60 years as world's best-selling car

The Toyota Corolla has reached its 60th anniversary, maintaining its status as the best-selling automobile in history with over 57 million units sold since its debut in 1966. Over six decades, the model has evolved through 12 generations, transitioning from a simple Japanese family car to a global presence available in various body styles, including sedan, hatchback, station wagon, and coupe.

Toyota currently produces the Corolla across 14 factories in 11 different countries, serving more than 150 regions worldwide. To mark the milestone, the company is introducing special 60th-anniversary editions featuring exclusive colors, specific wheels, and commemorative interior details.

The model's longevity is attributed to a consistent philosophy of providing reliable, practical, and accessible vehicles. While the automotive industry shifts toward electrification and SUVs, the Corolla remains a significant reference in the market through its hybrid variants and continuous technological updates in safety and efficiency.
