Tokyo, Japan
Toyota (TYO: 7203) has updated the Corolla Active Sport and Corolla Touring Active Sport as 60th-anniversary editions in Japan, commemorating six decades of the Corolla series.
The updated models feature exclusive anniversary design elements, enhanced styling and equipment intended to highlight the Corolla’s long-standing role as one of Toyota’s most recognized global nameplates. Toyota also announced minor updates to the Corolla and Corolla Touring, along with the introduction of a new Corolla-based vehicle for driving schools in Japan.
First launched in 1966, the Corolla has continued to evolve around the principles of quality, affordability, adaptability and added value. The model is sold in more than 150 countries and regions, with cumulative global sales exceeding 57 million units as of March 2026, excluding Toyota driving-school vehicles.
The 60th-anniversary editions of the Corolla Active Sport and Corolla Touring Active Sport include commemorative logos on the front fenders and a laser-engraved anniversary logo on the synthetic leather-wrapped instrument panel. Both models also feature exclusive equipment designed to enhance driving enjoyment, including specially tuned suspension on 2WD models and 17-inch aluminum wheels with a black finish and center caps.
The Corolla Active Sport receives a more refined urban appearance with an exclusive body-color front bumper and rocker moldings, along with mid-gray and black front sport seats. The Corolla Touring Active Sport adopts a more outdoor-oriented design, featuring Neutral Black front bumper and rocker moldings, black and dark gray front sport seats, and a special Neutral Black x Ash body color.
Toyota said the Corolla continues to support customers across generations and markets while also contributing to production and employment through 12 business entities across 11 countries and regions, including North America, Europe and Asia. In Japan, the Corolla is produced at the Motomachi, Tsutsumi and Iwate plants.
The company also highlighted the Corolla’s continued role in motorsports and driver education. The liquid-hydrogen-powered No. 32 TGRR GR Corolla H2 concept has competed in the Super Taikyu series as Toyota explores future mobility possibilities and carbon-neutral technologies.
As part of Toyota’s multipathway approach, the newly launched Corolla-based driving school vehicle is available with either a 1.8-liter hybrid system or a 1.5-liter Dynamic Force engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Toyota said the new training vehicle supports the development of the next generation of drivers while contributing to carbon-neutral mobility goals.
The Corolla and Corolla Touring also receive minor updates, including new body colors, Neutral Black and Emotional Red II. Toyota has made the Smart Entry and Navigation-Ready Package standard on the X grade.
Manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for the Corolla Active Sport 60th-anniversary edition start at 3,231,800 yen for the 2WD hybrid model and 3,446,300 yen for the E-Four model. The Corolla Touring Active Sport 60th-anniversary edition starts at 3,282,400 yen for the 2WD hybrid model and 3,496,900 yen for the E-Four model.

Toyota said additional 60th-anniversary editions of the Corolla Sport and Corolla Cross are scheduled to launch in Japan from mid-2026 onward.
