The Toyota E120 Series was the ninth Toyota Corolla generation to come to the United States in Spring 2002 as a 2003 model. It is also known as the Corolla Altis in Southeast Asia. The 2003 Toyota Corolla had a lengthened wheelbase of 102.4 inches (5 inches longer than the previous model). This is the same length wheelbase as the original 1983 Camry. The car was powered by a 1.8-liter DOHC, 16-valve engine rated at 130-hp. For the 2005 model year, a sporty XRS model was introduced. It was powered by a high-revving 172-hp 2ZZ-GE engine and 6-Speed manual from the Toyota Celica GT-S and Lotus Elise.
The Corolla has also spawned another multi-purpose vehicle, the Toyota Matrix, sold in Canada and the United States, and forms the basis of the Pontiac Vibe.
In 2005, the 30 millionth Corolla rolled out from the factory to the showroom.
