The Toyota Corolla Verso is a car produced by the Japanese carmaker Toyota between 2001 and 2009. A compact MPV, the first-generation Corolla Verso sold in Europe was a rebadged Japanese market second-generation Corolla Spacio (E120), which was first released in Japan in May 2001. The second-generation model became a separate model in March 2004, based on the second-generation Avensis (T250), until production ceased in March 2009 and production of its replacement, the Verso, began.
Although the design of the car is based on the Verso's namesake, the Corolla, the second-generation model does not share a platform with the Corolla, instead being built on a separate unique platform.
