The Toyota Corolla (E160) is the eleventh generation of the Toyota Corolla that is sold in Japan, Hong Kong, Macau, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Singapore and Sri Lanka. For international markets, the larger and substantially different Corolla (E170/E180) is offered instead. The E160 was derived from the Toyota B platform, unlike the E170/E180, which was based on the New MC platform.

As with the preceding E140 models, the sedan/saloon version of the E160 is named Corolla Axio in the Japanese market; the station wagon/estate version carries the Corolla Fielder designation. The Japanese market Corolla Axio is shorter in length and narrower in width than the global version (E170), and engines are kept below 2.0-litres, so as to be in compliance with Japanese Government dimension regulations so that Japanese buyers have a reduced road tax.

The eleventh generation of the Corolla went on sale in Japan in May 2012. Both are made by a Toyota subsidiary, Central Motors, in Miyagi prefecture, Japan.
