A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. The name was intended to evoke the image of a beautifully styled, eye-catching compact car.
The trunk lid was replaced with a hatchback door. As with the previous generation, the lineup of personal-use models included a coupé, a hardtop and a liftback (with a roof longer than that of the coupé, and a tailgate). The available engines included 1,300 cc (4K-U), 1,500 cc (3A-U), and 1,600 cc DOHC (2T-GEU) units. Regarding the mechanism, a major change was made in the rear suspension, replacing a semi-oval leaf spring system with a 4-link coil spring system and a lateral rod to improve ride comfort and stability. Also, servo-assisted front disc brakes were standard-equipped on all models.
