2018 Toyota Corolla Axio 2018

The Toyota Corolla is sold in Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, Bangladesh, Singapore and Sri Lanka. For international markets, the larger and substantially different Toyota Corolla (E170) is offered instead. The E160 derives from the Toyota B platform, unlike the E170 based on the New MC platform.

As with the preceding E140 models, the sedan version of the E160 is named Corolla Axio in the Japanese market; wagons carry the Corolla Fielder designation.

The eleventh generation of the Corolla went on sale in Japan in May 2012. Both are made by a Toyota subsidiary, Central Motors, in Miyagi prefecture, Japan.[6]

The Japanese market Corolla (Axio) is shorter in length and narrower in width, and engines are kept below 2.0-liters, so as to be in compliance with Japanese Government dimension regulations so that Japanese buyers have a reduced road tax.

Trim levels available for the Axio are Luxel, G, and X. This is also true for the Corolla Fielder (wagon variant), although the Fielder also includes a 1.8S trim.

Toyota released hybrid 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-liter hybrid system similar to the one used in the Toyota Prius c, with a fuel efficiency of 3.03 L/100 km (93.2 mpg‑imp; 77.6 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle.
