Toyota introduced the ninth generation of the Corolla in 2000, and four years later, it came with a refresh for the entire lineup, including the Sedan version.
The Corolla nameplate was already known worldwide, and the Japanese carmaker tried to offer as many as it could produce. Besides the hatchback version, Toyota offered a sedan compact model that was more suitable for those who didn't consider sharing the same space with the trunk.
Despite the car's technical qualities, the Corolla sedan suffered from the same bland design as its siblings. The upgraded version tried to create a better image with the introduction of the smoked taillights. But the front fascia was almost the same, albeit the clear-lens headlights with a more angular design looked a tad more aggressive than on the 2002 model year. Moreover, the lower part of the bumper featured a revised grille with a horizontal slat flanked on the sides by the optional round foglamps instead of the previously used horizontal ones.
Inside, the carmaker installed a better-designed interior. The Corolla featured an infotainment unit fitted with a monochrome LCD depending on the trim levels. Moreover, the climate control unit was upgraded with new push buttons for the upper trim levels instead of turning knobs. Yet, the flat bucket seats at the front provided a mere bolstering, not enough to encourage the driver to drive the car fast on a winding road.
Under the hood, Toyota offered a choice of four engines, with two gasoline and two turbo-diesel units. In addition, a four-speed automatic was available for specific powerplants.
