This generation of Corolla was launched in Pakistan back in 2014 and has already entered its 9th year of production. Pakistan is currently the only market in the world where the 11th generation Toyota Corolla is still being assembled, keep in mind the 12th gen model that debuted back in November 2018 is more than 3 years old already and has started to receive a facelift in global markets. It is yet unknown for how much longer will IMC drag this generation of Corolla in Pakistan. However a new variant might suggest its here to stay.
