Corolla has topped Australia's new-car sales charts for the 12th time in November.
More than 4,500 Corolla sedans and hatches were driven out of Toyota showrooms during the month - a winning margin of more than 750.
The popularity of Corolla helped Toyota retain its long-term market leadership, along with HiLux, Yaris and Camry - all of which were the top-selling vehicles in their respective segments.
In November, more than 19,900 Toyota vehicles were registered, a figure that is higher than the combined totals of its nearest two competitors.
Toyota is now within just 7,000 vehicles of achieving 200,000 sales for the seventh consecutive year. No other company has ever reached that mark.
Corolla's strong sales propelled it back to overall leadership of the small-car market - a segment it has led since 2000.
It became Australia's best-selling car for the first time in September 2005 and has repeated the feat twice in both 2006 and 2008, three times in both 2007 and 2009.
In November, Yaris was the best-selling light car and Camry moved closer to clinching its 17th year as leader of the medium segment.
The three top-selling SUVs last month were all Toyota vehicles - Kluger, RAV4 and Prado - with Prado leading in the contest to be the number-one SUV for the year.
Other segment leaders for Toyota in November and for the year so far are LandCruiser 200 Series wagon, HiAce van and HiAce bus.
