The Corolla E100 was the seventh generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. This generation of Corolla was larger, heavier, and visually more aerodynamic than the model it replaced. With its 2,465 mm (97.0 in) wheelbase, the Corolla had moved into the compact size class once occupied by the Corona and Camry. The Corolla again had an equivalent model Sprinter, with the Sprinter Trueno being equivalent to the Corolla Levin and both exclusive to Toyota Vista Store Japanese dealerships.

Design
editThe development of the seventh-generation Corolla was led by chief engineer Akihiko Saito.[7] Not only was the wheelbase increased, but the new Corolla also received a wider track than did the 90-series.[8] The chunky, solid design reflected the desire of development chief Dr. Akihiko Saito to make a 'mini-Lexus', to build on the recent successes of Toyota's new flagship range. The sedan and hatchback have drag coefficients of Cd=0.33, the liftback is Cd=0.30, and the wagon/van are Cd=0.36.[9] The 100-series models used fewer body panels than their predecessors, for increased strength, lower cost, and fewer panel gaps (providing a cleaner appearance and lower wind resistance). The headlights were now from polycarbonate rather than glass, and almost 90 percent of the bodyshell was made from galvanized steel - compared to about 60 percent in the preceding generation.[10]
Japan
editThe standard Corolla model range included the three-door hatchback Corolla FX, four-door sedan and five-door station wagon (and light van) models. Also returning in this generation was the two-door coupé Corolla Levin. A 4WD variant of the sedan and station wagon was also available with a 1.6 litre petrol or 2.0 litre diesel engine.
The four-door "pillared hardtop" Corolla Ceres and Sprinter Marino were introduced in 1992. They bore no real exterior resemblance but feature the chassis and most of the engine range of the standard Corollas, and used the Levin/Trueno dashboard. Minor facelift changes were introduced in May 1993. These included a new grille, a reconfiguration of the rear lamps and various other bits of trim and garnish.
The E100 sedan and hatchbacks introduced in June 1991 lasted until the introduction of the E110 in May 1995, while the E100 wagons and the related van continued in the Japanese market alongside the newer Corolla and Sprinter Carib models. Passenger wagons were available in 'G-Touring', 'L-Touring' and high-performance 'BZ-Touring' guises, while "Van" and "Business Wagon" models were basically stripped out wagons with leaf-sprung solid axle rear suspensions. Business Wagons typically had slightly higher equipment levels than simpler vans. Toyota also offered a High-Roof version of the Corolla (and Sprinter) Van. The Corolla Touring Wagon continued until 2000, while both commercial versions continued to serve the Japanese market until July 2002, long outliving the mainstream E110 models in Japan. It was succeeded by the Probox.
TRD2000
editIn October 1994, Toyota Racing Development launched a special edition of the Corolla for the Japanese market, known as the TRD2000. These cars were based on the GT sedan and converted to replicate the 1994 Corolla JTCC race car specifications. The engine was swapped to a naturally-aspirated 2.0 L 3S-GE with 180 PS (132 kW), new 5-speed S54 manual gearbox, heavy duty clutch, mechanical LSD, quickshifter, 15-inch TRD Type-FT wheels with Yokohama Grandprix M5 tires, TRD brakes, new suspension (20 mm lower), small spoiler on the trunk, stainless steel dual exhaust, König Prinz P200 bucket seats, TRD steering wheel and only available in white. Initially, 99 cars were planned to be built, but only 10 cars were sold because of the high price, even more than the Celica GT-Four ST205.[11][12]

Asia
editIn the Philippines, the E100 Corolla is nicknamed "Big Body".[16] Three variants of the E100 Corolla were sold there; XL, XE, and GLi. The XL and XE both offered the 1.3-litre, carbureted 2E engine, with the latter enjoying extra features like power steering, alloy wheels, digital clock and tachometer. The GLi received a 1.6-litre fuel-injected motor (4A-FE). The top model was offered in both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, while the XL and XE both only came with the manual. This generation of the Corolla was the first 1.6-litre car to introduce 14-inch (360 mm) alloy wheels to the country in 1992. Other pioneer features that followed were rear seatbelts, front cup holders (late 1994) and a driver's airbag (late 1995). ABS followed during its later years.
In Thailand, this generation of Corolla is nicknamed "3 Ovals" or Sam Huang, due to its first usage of the current Toyota Logo.[17] Launched in March 1992, Four variants were offered in the pre-facelift model; 1.3 DX, 1.3 GX, 1.6 GXi and the 1.6 LX Limited. The former two both offered the 1.3-litre, carbureted 2E engine paired with 5-speed manual transmission, while the latter two received the larger 1.6 litre fuel-injected 4A-FE engine paired with both 5-speed manual (GXi only) and 4-speed automatic transmissions, while the LX Limited was Imported from Japan and it was Limited to 1,000 units. This generation of the Corolla was the last to use carbureted engines and only offered fuel-injected engines starting from the facelifted model.
- 1.3 DX – 1.3 litre SOHC 2E engine, 5-Speed manual transmission, non-adjustable steering (2-spoke), no tachometer and power steering, includes stereo, 13-inch steel rims.
- 1.3 GX – 1.3 litre SOHC 2E engine, 5-Speed manual transmission, tilt steering adjustment (3-spoke), includes tachometer, power steering and stereo, 13-inch steel rims with hubcaps.
- 1.6 GXi – 1.6 litre DOHC 4A-FE engine, 5-Speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, tilt steering adjustment (3-spoke), includes tachometer, power steering and stereo, power windows and door locks, power mirrors on automatic model, 14-inch alloy rims.
- 1.6 LX Limited – 1.6 litre DOHC 4A-FE engine, 4-Speed automatic transmission, tilt steering adjustment (4-spoke), includes tachometer, power steering and stereo, power windows and door locks, power mirrors with auto-folding function, 14-inch alloy rims, includes ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and Limited only to 1,000 units.
The Facelifted model was launched in June 1994, Three variants were offered; 1.3 DXi, 1.3 GXi and the 1.6 GXi. The Former two are now powered with the 1.3-litre 4E-FE engine, while the latter one still offered with the 1.6-litre 4A-FE engine. The DXi model can only be paired with the 5-speed manual transmission, while the GXi models (both 1.3 and 1.6) can be paired with both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions.
- 1.3 DXi – 1.3 litre DOHC 4E-FE engine, 5-Speed manual transmission, non-adjustable steering (2-spoke), no tachometer, includes power steering and stereo, 13-inch steel rims.
- 1.3 GXi – 1.3 litre DOHC 4E-FE engine, 5-Speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, tilt steering adjustment (3-spoke), includes tachometer, power steering and stereo, power windows and door locks, 13-inch steel rims with hubcaps.
- 1.6 GXi – 1.6 litre DOHC 4A-FE engine, 5-Speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions, tilt steering adjustment (4-spoke on the automatic model), includes tachometer, power steering and stereo, power windows and door locks, power mirrors (with auto-folding function on the automatic model), 14-inch alloy rims, includes ABS (Anti-lock braking system) and Driver's airbag (GXi Automatic).
The E100 Corolla sedan is nicknamed as the "Great Corolla" in Indonesia and nicknamed "Corolla SEG 100" in Malaysia. Initially the trim levels were 1.3 SE and 1.6 SE-G. The smaller engined model was replaced by a 1.6 SE in 1994.
The 1.3 XLi, 1.5 GLi sedan, wagon, and Levin 1.5 SJ coupé were sold in Hong Kong.

North America
editIn North America, the Corolla was new for the 1993 model year. It had different headlights (independent high/low beams), grille, bumpers (extended) and trunk garnish for the Base and DX Sedans. The base model came with the 1.6 litre 4A-FE 2nd-generation engine with straighter intake-tracts in the head.[18] The DX, LE and wagon came with the 1.8 litre 7A-FE. The 1993 and 1994 versions of the 7A-FE engine were rated at 86 kW (115 hp), later versions were rated at 78 kW (105 hp) mainly due to differences of the intake shape.[19] Every model has fully independent suspension, front disk brakes and rear drum brakes.[20] The LE (Luxury Edition) has sporty front seats and was available in the US with A/T only or available in Canada with either A/T or M/T. Sporty Corollas and 4WD Corollas were no longer offered or imported in this generation, with the Corolla Sport being replaced by the smaller Paseo. Some 1993 Corolla sedans sold were also produced in Japan, due to factory delays. All of the wagons were produced at the Takaoka plant in Japan.
Minor changes occurred for the 1996 model year. Among these changes, the DX received bright red/clear tail lights and rear garnish, and new wheel covers. The Base model (and later the CE) came with restyled gray plastic trunk garnish.
In 1997, the DX wagon was dropped, but a special CE (Classic Edition) sedan was offered and it incorporated a number of popular features in one value-priced package. Among the standard equipment were the options for power windows and locks, A/C, power steering, a four-speaker stereo, manual remote mirrors and special floor mats and exterior badging.[21] All models received additional side-impact protection to meet new federal standards. And for the first time, during 1997, all the Corollas sold in the United States were built in North America at the NUMMI plant in Fremont, California and the TMMC plant in Canada. By the end of the 1997 model year, the Corolla had become the best-selling nameplate in automotive history, overtaking the Volkswagen Beetle. Official Toyota accessories available as either factory upgrades or dealer-/port-installed options include: power sunroof (DX only), aluminum alloy wheels (DX only), front end mask, rear spoiler, mudguards, keyless entry and/or security system, passive alarm system,[22] floor mats, wood dash accents, and a Gold emblem package (DX only).[23]

Europe
editThe five-door Sprinter was sold as the Corolla Sprinter in some markets in Europe, and simply the Corolla liftback in others. The three and five-door Corolla hatchback was also sold in Europe, where it took the lion's share of Corolla sales. It was available mostly in normal (non-sports) specs unlike the three-door-only FX range available in Japan, although some mildly hot models were also marketed.
In Europe, the hatchback sold better than the sedan and estate. The typical trim levels are Base, XLi and GLi. A few select, rare models featured the 1.8L 7A-FE engine, including the 1.8 GXi 3-door hatchback in the UK, and the 1.8 XLi 4WD estate in certain markets. The sedan has its rear license plate mounted on the trunklid as opposed to the bumper on other region models. In Germany and some other markets, the 1331 cc 4E engine was referred to as a 1.4 since it displaced over 1300 cc.
British sales began a bit later than elsewhere in the world, in August 1992. Originally only the 1.3 and 1.6 petrol engines were on offer, the 2.0 Diesel and the faintly sporting 1.8 GXi (sold as the 1.8 GTi in most of mainland Europe) were added in March 1993.[10] The GXi has a claimed 120 PS (88 kW; 118 hp), three horsepower more than the engine as installed in the 1.8 4WD and as much again more than the fuel injected 1.6. In August 1995 the lineup was revised; the new models in the UK market were Sportif, GS, CD, Si, and CDX. The GS featured a fully colour-coded exterior and with full electrics and a tilt/slide steel sunroof, as well as an upgraded interior with white dials and a rev counter.[10]
In Germany, Europe's largest national automobile market, the E100 sustained the Corolla's reputation for reliability and economy. In 1995, it topped the small family car class in a reliability survey of 4-6 year old cars undertaken by the German Automobile Association (ADAC), with 5.3 recorded breakdowns per 1000 cars for four-year-old cars and 10.1 for six-year-old cars: this compared with 12.0 breakdowns per 1,000 cars for four-year-old Volkswagen Golfs and 21.8 for six-year-old Golfs.[24] (The class loser was the Fiat Tipo with 38.3 breakdowns per 1,000 for four-year-old cars and 44.0 for six-year-old Tipos.[24])

Australia/New Zealand
editIn late 1992, New Zealand-assembled E100 Corollas were introduced to the New Zealand market. These vehicles were assembled at Toyota's Thames factory. Trim levels consisted of the 1.3-litre XL and the 1.6-litre GL, GS, and GLX.[25] Available bodystyles were sedan, five-door hatchback, five-door liftback, and five-door wagon. There was also a van version of the 1.3-litre hatchback; this model was a strict two-seater. The 1.3 is carburetted while the 1.6 is fuel injected, providing 81 kW (110 PS). The 1.6's lack of low-end power was mentioned by period road testers and later the torquier 1.8-litre engine was also made available. The entire Corolla range now received power steering as standard equipment. As with most other New Zealand-assembled Toyotas of the eighties and nineties, ex-Formula One driver Chris Amon had been allowed to adjust the suspension settings of the E100 Corolla.[8] The locally built cars thus included a thicker rear swaybar as opposed to Japanese imported models.
During 1994, the E100 Corolla became the first Toyota model to be built at the new Altona plant (from 1968 until 1993, the Corolla had been produced at the Port Melbourne facility). This model came in hatchback (Seca) and sedan variants. The trim levels consisted of 1.6L CSi (base model), 1.6L and 1.8L CSX, 1.8L Conquest, sporty 1.8L RV (hatchback only) and the top of the range 1.8L Ultima (sedan only). Special edition models were included in the model lineup, and between 1994 and 1996 Toyota also imported the five-door liftback Sprinter model. In 1999, production of the E100 Corolla in Australia was terminated and Toyota Australia returned to Japanese imports, this time model AE112R.
In May 2017, ANCAP performed a head-on crash test between a 1998 E100 Seca and a 2017 E180 Auris/Corolla. The E100 scored 0.40 out of a possible 16 points, highlighting the safety improvement of newer cars.[26]
