Unveiled in 2000, the ninth generation of Toyota Corolla came with almost the same body styles as the previous edition, namely a 4-door sedan, a 3- and 5-door hatchback, a 5-door station wagon and a 5-door van.
Assembled at multiple plants around the world, the new Corolla was marketed under different names, depending on the country and on the version. For example, the Brazilian flavor of the sedan Corolla was built at the local factory in Indaiatuba although it is pretty similar with the US model. Moreover, this local version of the sedan comes with an exclusive 1.6 liter engine which is not installed on another edition of the car.
