...and a plug-in version of its existing Prius Hybrid.
The Corolla - called Auris in Europe - is a full hybrid that uses the Prius drivetrain. It will be shown, along with the Prius Plug-in Hybrid Concept, at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show.
The plug-in system is still in conceptual stage though Toyota says it will start trials in Europe next year with 150 vehicles leased to selected fleet companies.
The addition of the plug-in charge system allows the Prius to operate purely on its electric motor for short-range day-to-day driving.
