WilliamOct 23, 2024, 11:36 AM

If we talk about the best-selling car model in the world, it has to be Toyota Corolla. The cumulative sales of Toyota Corolla have reached 49 million units, indicating the colossal success and wide-reaching influence of Toyota Corolla worldwide. Perhaps this is the best way to summarize this model: you may not be able to find its advantages, but it's also difficult to find its shortcomings.


With a long history, the Corolla has a firm market position


Toyota Corolla, a compact car under the Toyota Motor Corporation, has won widespread praise from global consumers for its excellent quality and reliable performance since its birth in 1966. The name of this model derives from the Latin "Corolla".

From the first model introduced to the twelfth model today, Toyota Corolla has undergone many innovations and upgrades. In 1997, Toyota Corolla replaced Volkswagen Beetle as the world's best-selling car, a remarkable achievement that's undoubtedly the best proof of its superior quality. In 2013, Toyota Corolla set a world record with a total sales volume of 40 million units, a figure that not only exhibited its broad acceptance in the global market but also further consolidated its leading position in the compact car market.


As time goes on, Toyota Corolla continues to innovate, meeting the increasingly diverse needs of consumers. In 2019, the twelfth-generation Corolla, built on the Toyota TNGA platform, was launched. Its younger, more fashionable exterior design and more intelligent technical configuration once again led to the new trend in the compact car market.

Every evolution of the Toyota Corolla has aligned perfectly with the shifting demands of the market. Its consistently evolving capabilities meet the core needs of consumers while maintaining its hallmark advantages of fuel efficiency and reliability. This is why the Toyota Corolla continues to stand the test of time.


The advantages of the Toyota Corolla are evident, making it most suitable for family use.


Toyota Corolla's ability to become one of the world's best-selling models is due to its many advantages. First of all, Toyota Corolla emphasizes simplicity without sacrificing elegance, featuring sleek and refined body lines that give it a more composed look. Inside, Toyota Corolla also displays a minimalist modern design style. The black-and-white color scheme not only enhances the interior's premium feel but also creates a stylish and comfortable driving environment.

In terms of power, Toyota Corolla offers a variety of options to meet different consumer needs. Whether it's a manual gearbox or a CVT continuously variable transmission, it can bring consumers a stable and smooth driving experience. Meanwhile, its engine has low noise and high fuel economy, further reducing consumers' usage cost. The key point is that the quality of Toyota Corolla is very reliable, which ensures that the car will not have big product problems in the use cycle of more than ten years, and consumers can use it with relief.


In addition, Toyota Corolla has a wide influence in the market, which cushions its high residual value. In the international market, Toyota Corolla can still maintain a residual value of about 50% in the fifth year of vehicle use. This figure not only highlights the strong demand and popularity of Corolla in the used car market, but also showcases its durability and reliability as a compact car.


Is Toyota Corolla a good choice for family users?


For family users, choosing a suitable car is crucial. Toyota Corolla, with its stable performance, rich configuration, excellent safety, and wide consumer recognition, is undoubtedly an ideal choice for family users.

On the key issue of price, Toyota Corolla is in a very appropriate range. An average middle-class family only needs to spend a year's income to save enough to purchase a Toyota Corolla. This does not put a much financial burden on the family, and they can own a car without any shortcomings. This appropriate price and positioning have made the Toyota Corolla the world's top-selling car.


Most importantly, as one of the world's top-selling models, the quality and reliability of Toyota Corolla have been widely recognized. Choosing the Toyota Corolla means choosing a trusted model that can accompany the family through good times.


Summary


Toyota Corolla, as a classic of Toyota Motor Corporation, is not only the number one selling car worldwide but also has contributed greatly to Toyota's development. Whether in terms of exterior design, interior style, or performance and safety, Toyota Corolla shows an excellent overall standard. Maintaining a great essence is often the hardest part for a car company. I wonder who will be the "Toyota Corolla" of the next EV era?
