Toyota wants to put out something special by celebrating the 50th Anniversary model of the 2016 Toyota Corolla. With the golden anniversary, Toyota will pull out all the stops on the eleventh generation of this automobile. This is everything that is known about the Toyota Corolla 2016 Release Date, Specs, and Price.
According to Toyota Cars 2016, there weren't that many changes done to the 2016 Corolla model, but a few notable exterior changes included a "nicely rounded layout", small grille, large lower air intake up front and a set of complex tail-lights.
For the interior, there are fabric-trimmed seats or SofTex seats, with two-tone color options when it comes to dash and door panels. There is also a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment package that is standard in all but the entry-level models.
