The Corolla Runx used the ninth-generation Corolla sedan as the base, cutting off its rear section to make it a 2-box 5-door hatchback. The Runx and its sister model Allex (sold through the Netz channel) were released simultaneously in January 2001. The Runx was also aimed at the European market where demand for 2-box hatchbacks was particularly strong, and a 3-door version was also produced for the overseas markets.

The basic body dimensions were the same as the Corolla 4-door sedan, except that the length was 190 mm shorter. The available engines included a 1.5-liter 100 PS unit for the manual transmission model and a 1.8-liter 190 PS unit. These were combined with a 4-speed Super ECT automatic transmission, with the exception that the 1.8-liter model offered the sports steer shiftmatic system and the optional 6-speed manual transmission. The available layouts included front-engine, front-wheel-drive and V-flex full-time 4-wheel-drive (for 1.5-liter model only).

The Corolla Runx and the Allex were replaced by the Auris in October 2006.
