The Toyota Corolla (E140/E150) is the tenth generation of cars marketed by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. The Toyota Auris replaced the Corolla hatchback in Japan and Europe, but remained badged as a "Corolla" in Australia and New Zealand.

The chassis of the E140 is based on the Toyota MC platform, with the E150 model deriving from the New MC platform.^[5] The Japanese market E140 carried its MC platform over from the previous E120, using a narrow body for its chassis. The versions sold in the Americas, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are based on the widened body of this platform. Models sold in Australia, Europe and South Africa used the more sophisticated New MC underpinnings, and were designated as E150. The wide-body E150 was first released in China and Europe in early 2007, while the wide-body E140 was released in Americas and parts of Asia later in the year.
