Celebrating the Corolla’s 60-year anniversary launch, Toyota South Africa has revealed pricing and specs for a special edition Corolla Sedan. See pricing below…
Thought to be exclusive to the hatchback variant, the ‘60th Anniversary’ treatment has made its way to the Corolla Sedan and Cross body styles. Like the Hatch, the Corolla Sedan’s bodywork can be finished in Platinum White Pearl, without the contrasting black roof. A black paint exterior finish is also available, with ‘60th Anniversary’ badging present, inside and out.
As a reminder, in January 2026, the local arm of the Japanese automaker announced it had streamlined its Corolla Hatch and Sedan lineups to include only high-spec (XR) hybrid models. Along with the ‘60th Anniversary’ features, the special edition has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a wireless charging dock for smartphones, a six-speaker sound system, and dual-zone climate control. Further included with XR trim are a reverse-view camera, supplemented by fore and aft park distance sensors, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. The Corolla Sedan is equipped with seven airbags and features Isofix child-seat mounting points.
