Where are Toyota Corollas manufactured?
Corollas are built in a global network of plants around the world, rather than a single factory. Toyota distributes Corolla production across multiple countries to serve regional markets efficiently.
Global Production Footprint
Below are the main regions and representative countries where Toyota currently assembles the Corolla for local and export markets. Production can vary by model year and regional demand, so these sites may change over time.
- Canada — Cambridge, Ontario (Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada) produces the Corolla Hatchback for North American markets.
- United States — Blue Springs, Mississippi assembles the Corolla sedan for the North American market; other U.S. plants have supported Corolla output as needed.
- Mexico — Baja California plant (Toyota Motor Manufacturing de Baja California) has supplied Corolla variants for the U.S., Canada, and Latin American markets.
- United Kingdom — Historically produced Corolla hatchbacks at Burnaston, Derbyshire, with European supply also using other regional plants as strategy evolves.
- Turkey — Sakarya (Adapazarı) plant is a major European site for Corolla hatchbacks and sedans, supplying the European market.
- Japan — Domestic-market Corollas are assembled at multiple Japanese plants to meet local demand and export needs.
- China — Local production through joint ventures serves the Chinese market with Corolla variants tailored for China.
- Other regions — Toyota maintains local assembly in India and other Southeast Asian markets to tailor the Corolla to regional demand.
Note: The exact plant mix for Corolla production changes over time due to capacity adjustments, new model introductions, and strategic shifts. Checking Toyota’s regional websites or recent corporate reports provides the latest details.
Model Variants and Local Production
In some markets, different body styles or variants (sedan, hatchback, Cross) are produced at different sites to align supply with local demand and regulatory requirements. For example, hatchback and sedan variants are distributed across Canadian, Mexican, Turkish, and Japanese facilities, with crossovers produced in targeted regional plants.
Some readers may wonder about the status of UK production; Toyota historically operated Burnaston for Europe, but European supply has diversified into Turkey and other facilities depending on the generation and market strategy. The core point remains: Corolla production is intentionally global to be near-market and responsive to demand.
Summary
Toyota’s Corolla is produced in a global network spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. This multi-site approach brings assembly closer to customers and supports regional demand, with major hubs in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China, plus additional regional facilities.
