The Toyota Corolla Spacio is a compact car produced by the Japanese automaker Toyota, which has become very popular throughout the world since the nameplate was first introduced in 1966. In 1997, the Corolla became the best selling model in the world, with over 30 million sold as of 2007.[1] Over the past 40 years, one Toyota Corolla car has been sold on average every 40 seconds.[2] However, it has undergone several total redesigns.

The modern Corolla shares only the name with the first generation car. The name Corolla Spacio is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using the name Crown for their primary models, e.g. the Corona, which is Latin for crown, or the Corolla, which is Latin for small crown and Camry which is an Anglicized pronunciation of the Japanese term "kan-muri" meaning "small crown". One of Toyota's first cars sold in the U.S was also called the Toyopet Tiara. Redesigned Toyota Corolla Spacio, a new "tall two-box" model with a spirited monoform silhouette that houses a flexible-use cabin and numerous other features aimed at creating a stress-free driving experience. Based on the New Century Value(NCV)development concept, which endeavors to define automotive values for the 21st century, and backed by the class-breaching high quality for which Corollas are known, the new Corolla Spacio employs a variable 5+2 seating arrangement, a light-weight and high-rigidity body and a high-performance powertrain.
