The model is currently exhibited at the Automobile Council Fair in Chiba till August 7 and will hit the showrooms on September 1, Efe news reported.
Based on the design of the current Corolla Axio sedan, the commemorative model will have a limited edition of 500 units exclusive to Japan, a Toyota official said.
