It is no wonder that the world’s most selling car company will have many cars in its bag that are the world’s most popular. Hence, it is no surprise that the very capable Corolla sedan from the house of Toyota is the most favored car in the world. The Japanese car leader has announced that the total global sales of the Toyota Corolla have crossed the mark of the whopping 40 million by the end of July, 2013.
The Toyota Corolla has a long history in the world’s auto industry. First launched way back in the year 1966, the Corolla has sold over 40 million units till date. This 47 year old evergreen and most popular car was first launched as a two door sedan after which it has evolved and become much contemporary with the passage of time. However, what has never changed is its age appropriate quality and efficiency, which always won over the hearts of the car consumers. Furthermore, slightly criticized by its down to earth design, the next generation Corolla with its jaw dropping looks is all set to fire up its everlasting popularity even more.
Toyota Corolla sailed through the top of the sales charts, achieving the cumulative sales record of 1 million units merely after 4 years after its launch. In the year 1997, the Corolla became the globe’s bestselling brand name, with the total sales of 22.656 million across the world.
The total global sales of the Corolla accounts for one fifth of the total sales of all car’s of Toyota in the company’s 76 year old existence, which speaks for itself and shows how the Corolla is the one of the chief reasons behind the company’s tremendous growth.
In India, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) proudly announced of its Corolla’s astounding global success on 5th of September, 2013. While speaking on the Corolla’s achievement of the 40 million unit’s sales milestone, the MD and Chief Executive Officer at Toyota Kirloskar Motor, Mr. Hiroshi Nakagawa said that the company is delighted to celebrate the very important milestone of the Corolla in the 76 year history of the company. The Corolla achievement of this milestone is a glowing evidence of the sedan’s popularity and its worldwide appreciation.
Nakagawa added by saying that the company is really glad about the fact that it introduced this most popular model of Toyota in the Indian market in 2003. The Corolla Altis has received a lot of love and appreciation by the company’s Indian car consumers. He concluded by saying that the company hopes that the Corolla will be able to continue its journey bringing happiness and wellbeing into the lives of the people in India as well as the entire world.
Hence, the evergreen, ever popular, ever evolving Corolla sedan is an epitome in itself. It has always remained a model in terms of quality, safety features, comfort and technology, thus of overall dependability. With the emergence of the next generation models, the Corolla promises to remain the most brilliant representative of Toyota.
