A 10th-generation Toyota Corolla was officially introduced in 2006. The sedan Corolla addressed to the Japanese market was codenamed Axio, meaning “valued things” in Greek.
It looks distinctive and different, with a strong road presence, even when viewed from a distance. The car has been designed from the outset as a sedan and achieves a one-form style by moving the base of the A-pillar forward and integrating the trunk space within the slope of the rear pillars.
The all-new Toyota Axio is the 10th generation of the worldwide best-seller that has become a symbol of Toyota’s core values of superior quality, style, driving pleasure and innovation.
The Toyota Corolla Axio is quiet and smooth on the road as it delivers on its promise of a class above. Exceptionally low levels of Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) lift the new Axio well above current C-segment sedan norms and will give occupants a clear sense of being in a car from an upper segment.
The 1.6-liter petrol is an all-new dual VVT-i engine developing excellent performance and low fuel consumption. The new dual VVT-i technology continually adjusts the engine’s intake and exhaust valve timing to ensure maximum efficiency under all operating conditions.
