The Toyota Corolla Spacio is a compact MPV sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. The "Spacio" nameplate was only used in Japan, where it was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store dealerships. From 2001 in Europe, the second generation Corolla Spacio used the Corolla Verso nameplate instead.
The "Spacio" name is taken from the Italian word "spazio", which means "space".
