Toyota Corolla - Generation 8.2 (1999-2005)

TOYOTA COROLLA (1999-2005)

The launch of the 1.8 Altis SEG signaled the facelift of the Corolla which featured a new grille (the XL and LE does not get it) plus the top end model has leather seats and a CD changer. While all except the XL and LE got replaced by the Corolla Altis, the two are still marketed until 2005.
