Derived from "public" and "car," the name signifies "a car cherished by the public." The name was chosen in a public naming competition that attracted nearly 1.1 million entries.
The body became a size larger, and the engine lineup expanded to include a water-cooled 4-cylinder 1,100 cc engine for the Corolla (replaced with a 1,200 cc unit in September 1969) and a 1,000 cc version of the same, in addition to the existing 800 cc engine. The 1,100/1,200 cc engines were available for the sporty SL/SR models and the luxurious Hi Deluxe model.
In a major model change in January 1972, the body panel was redesigned and semi-fastback styling was introduced. The model variations were expanded and divided into the family-use series and the youth-oriented series. The original air-cooled 2-cylinder 800 cc engine that had been used since the first model generation was discontinued at this time.
