Eighth Generation - E110 series - May 1995
The eighth generation (AE11#), which shared its platform (and doors, on some models) with its predecessor, was introduced in May 1995. Due to recession, Toyota ordered that Corolla development chief Takayasu Honda cuts costs, hence the carryover engineering.
For general market, the Corolla was offered in Base, XLi, GLi, and SE-G trim levels.
Japan (1996–2000)
The Japanese had a version called the "Corolla GT" which is a 4-door, 165 hp, 6-speed sedan. Other lesser models are LX, XE Limited, SE Limited, and S-Cruise. 4WD is offered in all but S-Cruise and GT.
This marked the beginning of the end of the Sprinter. The Sprinter Trueno coup茅 range was carried over with a facelift, while the Wagon was identical to the Corolla.
Japanese models received minor changes in April 1997 with new nose, tail, and interior. The rear panel is totally different, therefore the trunk and tail lights are not interchangeable between the old and facelift models.The new Japanese rear panel is the same as the European model.

USA (1998–2002)
2001-2002 Toyota Corolla
All North American Corollas were now built in California (by NUMMI) or Canada (by TMMC). A new all-aluminum engine powered all Corollas, making this generation lighter than its predecessor. In the US market only sedans were offered. Grades are VE, CE, and LE. The Touring Package with side skirts, a whiteface instrument cluster, and aluminum wheels are reserved for CE and LE. VVT-i variable valve timing was added to the engine for 2000. For 2001 model year, the VE was deleted, the CE became the base model and the sporty S was added as the replacement of the Touring Package.
The Chevrolet Prizm (replacing the Geo Prizm) had two main differences from the Toyota Corolla, though they were made in the same plant: it used the Japanese intake manifold and tuning, and put in a Delco stereo, which provided better sound quality but required a replumbing of the center stack as the Delco unit is taller than the Denso.
The US-market 2001 Toyota Corolla has a maximum legal carrying capacity of 850 lb.
American engines: (ZZE-112)
*1998-1999 - 1ZZ-FE - 1.8 L (1794 cc) I4, 16-valve DOHC, FI, 120 hp (89 kW)
*2000-2002 - 1ZZ-FE - 1.8 L (1794 cc) I4, 16-valve DOHC, FI, VVT-i, 125 hp (93 kW)
Europe & Oceania (1996–2001)
Toyota Corolla WRC, with European model-style front
This range had different front and rear ends to the Japanese models, though the sides and interior remained mostly the same. It can be distinguished by the round headlights and mesh grille. As a result, a sporting model with a six-speed gearbox was offered. The European 3 door Hatchback is the base for the Corolla World Rally Car (WRC). In Australia the Corolla Liftback is called Seca. Grades for Sedan and Seca are Ascent, Conquest, and Ultima. The Seca Sportivo with turbocharged 7A-FE engine was added in 2001. In 1997, the Corolla Spacio, with its body panels stamped at long-time Toyota supplier Kanto Autoworks, was introduced as a two-box minivan version and sold as the Corolla Verso in Europe and the Toyota Spacio in New Zealand.The facelift European model has totally different frond end with twin smaller headlights under single cover on each side.
This generation received a facelift in 2000, featuring a different nose (the previous round headlights proved unpopular), and new VVT-i petrol engines replacing the old A Series engines.
7A-FE engine : 1.762 cc Twin Cam 16 valve EFIbore : 81 mmstroke: 85.5 mmcompression ratio : 9.5- 120 hp @ 6000 rpm, 157 Nm @ 4400 rpm. in Corolla AE112 (Russia, Indonesia version)- 115 hp @ 5400 rpm, 154 Nm @ 2800 rpm. JDM (in Toyota Carina and Toyota Corona Premio)
