It's back and listed as a feature of the new 2020 Corolla sedan, now with auto temp control. Not sure, but the compressor may be electrically driven like the hybrids, too.

"Corolla sedan’s fully redesigned air conditioning system is more compact, more efficient and more effective. One example of the smarter climate control is the innovative twin-layer recirculation/fresh air induction unit: In cold climates, it will automatically send dehumidified fresh air to the upper cabin to reduce glass fogging while promoting recirculation of warm cabin air in lower areas."
