A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. "Fielder" suggests the car's suitability for field excursions and other leisure activities.
Redesigned to minimize the body size while maintaining the ability to safely and comfortably transport four adults over long distances, the Corolla Fielder adopted the smaller Vitz-class platform to optimally satisfy the domestic market needs. The wheelbase remained unchanged from the earlier model, while the body length was reduced by 60 mm to shave off the minimum turning radius. The knee space for the rear passengers was expanded by 40 mm, and the cabin length was extended by 90 mm.
While the engine lineup of the Corolla Axio was downsized from 1.8/1.5 liters to 1.5/1.3 liters, the Corolla Fielder retained the earlier engine displacement, although significant improvements were added. The 1.8-liter engine featured greater fuel economy through reduction in pumping and friction losses. The enhanced integration of engine and CVT controls also improved acceleration. The 1.5-liter engine featured greater fuel economy and reduced friction losses, and CVT models newly adopted the Super CVT-i that boasted fast response and superior fuel economy through integrated engine and CVT controls.
The Corolla Fielder was assembled at the Miyagi Plant of Central Motor Co., Ltd., which was hit by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 but managed to resume operations before the end of the year. On July 1, 2012, Central Motor merged with Toyota Motor Tohoku Corporation and Kanto Auto Works Ltd. to become Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc.
