The Toyota Corona (Japanese: ??????? ) is a car manufactured by Japanese carmaker Toyota between 1957 and 2002. Traditionally, the competitor of Nissan is the Nissan Bluebird. The word "corona" is Latin for "crown", a reference to the previous vehicle Toyota offered called Toyota Crown. It is exclusive to Toyopet Store dealers' channels in Japan, whereas the larger Crown is available only at Toyota's .
In many countries, Corona was one of Toyota's first international exports, and soon joined the smaller Toyota Corolla, providing buyers with larger car options, at the same operating costs as the smaller Corollas. Corona was Toyota's second sedan in their product hierarchy, just below the Crown, until 1968 when the Corona name was used on a larger platform, all newly called the Toyota Corona Mark II, which gave buyers more interior space while still offering dependable, affordable.
Corona became successful in the export market and marketed under a number of different nameplates around the world - including those branded in most of Asia such as Coronas which are marketed in European markets such as Carinas.

Generasi pertama (T10; 1957-1960)
The first generation Corona, introduced in May 1957, was designed with parts of the Mahkota and Master of the previous generation after the main restyle and crown enlargement. The design of many body panels is cut from the Master who has stopped production. Apart from the four-door sedan, the ST16/PT16 van version is also available. Initially, ST10/16 Corona was equipped with an old "S" sidevalve engine, with 33 PS (24 kW). In April 1958 Corona faced a mild facelift, with new hood ornaments and door handles. The tail lamp design of this generation is reminiscent of the 1949 Ford sedan.
The 997Ã, cc (60.8 cuÃ, in) OHV P series engine replaced the old S in September 1959, and offered substantially more power with 45Ã,® PS (33 kW) at 5,000 rpm. The Corona P engine is capable of flying at speeds of 105 km/h (65 mph). The car also had another facelift, including a mesh grille and a new rear seat that allowed seating for five of the previous four. Since the taxi regulations on the required engine are no more than 910 cc (56 cuÃ, in), the dealer limits the power to the taxi vehicle. Due to the increased dimensions of the Crown, Toyota must continue to produce vehicles of similar size dimensions to the first Crown, primarily used for taxi use. This vehicle saw the introduction of monocoque chassis structure, and independent front suspension using double wishbones. Due to the monocoque chassis, Toyota is able to produce vehicles under 1,000 kg (2,200 pounds).

Second generation (T20, T30; 1960-1964)
This generation of Corona is also known as Tiara, when exported by Toyota Motor Corporation. It was introduced at a critical time for companies in North America. Their first flagship car, Toyopet Crown, was unsuccessful in the US market, and Corona was added to offer options along with Land Cruiser. At that time, there was little market for off-road vehicles like Land Cruiser. T20 Corona's front mask reminds us of Ford Thunderbird 1955-1957, and shares its appearance with an entry-level offer, called Toyota Publica.
Tiara was introduced to sell alongside the Crown, as a smaller companion. Introduced in March 1960, the car is powered by 45à ¢ â,¬â "¢ s series, PS (33Ã, kW) 1.0Ã, L" P ". With a three-speed manual transmission, the top speed is only 110 km/h (68 mph). In March 1961, Toyota introduced the more powerful 1.5-liter "R" series of motorcycles, the same motor of the Crown, and the larger 1.9-liter engine was added in 1964. Fortunately for Toyota, problems with the Crown were invisible. on the Tiara as a lighter body (180 kg or 400 pounds lower than Crown) makes the R series engine more sufficient. The Tiara station wagon seems to be aimed at women, with many original brochures showing only women in dinner dresses as well as playing golf. Nevertheless, it is sold better than the Crown and has far less mechanical problems. Tiara eventually became the only sedan Toyota sold in the US until the second generation of reworked Crown emerged. At that time, the Tiara has been redesigned and labeled Corona from the Japanese domestic market. A total of only 318 vehicles are sold in the US.
Two concept cars featured at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show - Corona 1500S Convertible and Corona 1900S Sporty Sedan. Corona Sports Coupe is a concept car shown at the 1963 Tokyo Motor Show - it shares little with Corona except suspension and name. The load carrying capability of the newly introduced Coronaline (technically a coupÃÆ'Â © utility) is shared with Toyota Stout's heavier capacity.
Third generation (T40, T50; 1964-1970)
The third generation was introduced in September 1964, one month before the Summer Olympics in 1964. It was available on the sedan, two door hardtop, three-door van, five-door station wagon (also as a van), two coupÃÆ' Â © utility variants and five hatchbacks door. Italian designer Battista Farina helps in the new Corona styling. The 40-43 series is reserved for sedans, while commercial vehicles (and carts) are in the 46 and 47 series. The hardtop accepts the 50-55 model code, while 56 are reserved for a five-door hatchback.
A public demonstration of the new Corona performance is performed on the Meishin Expressway, where the new model is tested up to 100,000 kilometers (62,137.1 mi), and is capable of maintaining a speed of 140 km/h (87 mph). Corona was released one year after the debut of a traditional competitor Corona, Nissan Bluebird. Toyota introduced a smaller vehicle to tackle a market that required a more fuel-efficient vehicle, called the Toyota Corolla in November 1966. It allowed Corona to increase its size and offer more passengers and cargo space over the previous generation. The time from 0-97 km/h (0-60 mph) is 15.1 seconds.
Initially, the commercial model (three-door van, coupe utility, and dual coup coup utility) uses a 1,298cc 2P engine, with 55 PS (40 kW) at 5,000 rpm. This allows for a maximum load of 500 kg (1,100 pounds) for the two-seat version and 300 kg (660 pounds) for five seats. Heavier loads are better accommodated by Toyota Stout, while larger commercial grade trucks are available at Diesel Diesel Shops. 1967 also saw a taxi debut on a van equipped for both commuter and commercial tasks using the Corona engine, called Toyota HiAce, offering more charge than Corona that suited her.
The coupÃÆ'Â © tool was produced by the former Central Motors between October 1964 and August 1968.
The top speed for the Corona 1.2 liter is 110 km/h (68 mph). In January 1967 it also became available as a five-door van. In May 1967, larger and more powerful 3P (1.35-liter) and 2R (1.5-liter) engines became available, replacing the lower 2P in most markets. These strengths are 77 and 65 PS (57 and 48 kW) respectively.
Toyota's automated transmission, marketed as Toyoglide , was introduced to this Corona version. The 4R (12R version in Australian version) with 1587 cc displacement is equipped with twin SU carburettor (Australian model with 12R engine has one sack of Aisin double barrel downdraft sand), and 90 bhp (67 kW, 91 PS). ). Disc brakes are also introduced for the front wheel. This Corona exports proved popular in the US and Europe, with improved engine performance and increased endurance from previous versions. In September 1967 alone, Toyota produced 80,000 cars, with 30,000 being Coronas.
In 1967 in Japan, the 1,587cc DOHC 9R engine was available on the RT55 1600GT coupe. This machine is basically a 4R engine with a new twin head based on the same technology as the twin engine in 2000GT.
Foreign assembly
Corona was the first Toyota assembled in New Zealand, beginning in February 1967 at Steel Brothers' Motor Assemblies in Christchurch. It was also built by Shinjin Motor in South Korea from 1966 to 1972. Shinjin Motor was a precursor to Daewoo and soon switched to assembling General Motors products. Corona is also assembled by Australian Motor Industries in Melbourne, with a 12R engine.
Assembly of South Africa began in 1966, with the car reached the fifteenth position on the sales charts in 1967.
Corona Mark II (T60, T70; 1968-1972)
September 1968 saw the release of a larger model called the Corona Mark II. After 1972, it spun as a separate platform. The late 60s and early 70s vehicles were powered by an inline-1.900 cc engine. Then Toyota introduced two Mark II variations with different model names, with different styles and marketing approaches. The more sporty Toyota Chaser appeared in 1977, and then in 1980, the luxury contemporary Toyota Cresta appeared. Chaser and Cresta exclusively for Toyota Auto Store location, while Mark II stays at Toyopet Store .
Fourth generation (T80, T90; 1970-1973)
The Corona T80 series was introduced in February 1970 and is a complete redesign, and developed on a separate platform from the Toyota Corona Mark II, which becomes a larger, more comfortable and powerful car, where Corona remains focused on fuel economy. The body style is further reduced to a two-door hardtop coupe, a four-door sedan and a station wagon. The engine continues to use the OHV on a ground level vehicle, and the SOHC on the better equipped version and most of the two-door coupe. Machines used in Mark II are often shared with Corona.
The trim levels previously offered are standard 1500 or DX, 1600 DX, and 1600 SL (although the 1900 cc 8R engine is offered in North America and South Africa). 1.5 offers 77 PS (57 kW), whereas 1.6 has 85 or 100 PS (63 or 74 kW) depending on the specification. Minor changes occurred in January 1971, when 2R and 7R engines (RT80/82/86V) were replaced by stronger 12R and 6R units (RT81/84/87V). At the same time, a larger 1.9-liter RT83 is added to the lineup. A large number of transmissions are offered, with a three-speed manual as standard. A four-speed manual with floor-mounted levers is also available, such as a two or three speed "Toyoglide" automatic transmission, with three speeds available with floor-mounted shifter. Then on the five-speed manual is also available in the sporty version.
Corona was redesigned in August 1971, with a low-slop cover signal removed and a new grille. Another, lighter but restyle appeared in August 1972, including a new grille and hubcap. The Hardtop acquires a two-liter engine today. Among the mechanical updates are electronic fuel injection mounted on the 18R-E with a SOHC engine design that appears in a two-door coupe. 18R-B has a twin SU carburetor, with an electronically controlled automatic transmission, labeled ECT. The choice of four-cylinder engine is pushrod 1.35 (van Standard only), 1.5, and 1.6 liter engine, and overhead-cam 1.7, 1.9, and 2.0 liter gasoline units. Vans (wagons) were sold with a 1.35 3P or 1.5 liter 2R engine for the first year, but 1.5 was replaced by a 12R 1.6 liter engine in January 1971. The 6-liter 6-liter engine was added to the lineup in September 1970, and became available in the van in September 1971. North America received only the Corona train in July 1972 (and only for the 1973 model), as a two-liter RT89.
A performance-oriented competitor at home called Toyota Carina, approaching Corona and based on the Toyota Celica platform, was introduced in 1970. It is available on different dealer sales channels called Toyota Stores . This generation of Corona is available at a dealer called Toyopet Store . Corona retrieval was no longer produced due to Hilux's introduction in 1969. Along with the August 1972 facelift, the Corona received a 2.0-liter engine that appeared in 2000SL and 2000SR with fuel injectors. The 7R-engined RT82 was short-lived in Japan, only available between February and September 1970, but in other markets may remain available until the introduction of the next Corona.
In the United States, the 1970s was probably the highest point of Corona, aided by the fuel crisis of 1973 and 1979. Competition for continued sales of Nissan Bluebird, and from the new competitor of Mazda RX-2 in 1971, with an introduction to the United States on year 1972.
These models are assembled in New Zealand (by Steel's) and Australia (Australian Motor Industries or AMI). The NZ model initially had a 1.5 liter OHV engine and four manual speeds and then a 6R 1.7 liter OHC engine. After the first facelift (new nose and tail, square instead of round instrument house) for 1972, the 6R engine was re-used. Facelift 1972 (another new grille) sees two models - the 1.6-liter OHV with three-speed manual manual columns and front seat bench and 1.7-liter four-speed manual rotating floors and a high-back bucket. This version was given 1700SE.
The RT81 Australia uses a 1.6 liter OHV engine and a four-speed manual. Local content is much higher than that of NZ cars with meaningful local instruments and heating, surprisingly for the climate, no central air vents. The AMI facelift model assembled with a revised grille was released in November 1972, which lasted until March 1974.
Corona modified displayed at the 1970 Tokyo Motor Show as an Electronic Car. Based on the 1700SL Hardtop Corona, it shows a lot of electronic innovation but it is not put into production.
Fifth generation (T100, T110, T120; 1973-1979)
August 31, 1973 saw the introduction of the Corona T100-Series, which continues to be built as a two-door or four-door sedan, two-door hardtop coupe (T110 chassis code) and as a four-door station wagon (marketed as a van for commercial use in Japan). The 100-105 chassis code is reserved for the sedan, with 106-109 for the van, 110-115 is for the hardtop coupon while 116-119 for the wagon version. The 120-series model code is used for the uplifting face-lift models of the late series in the Japanese market that are equipped with new TTC-C motor emission controls. The engine is a 1.6 and 2.0 liter SOHC unit. In North America, a 2.2 liter 20R engine is used. High performance 2000 GT Sedan and Hardtop CoupÃÆ'Â © with 18R-G twin cam engine is only offered in Japan. Two-speed automatic is no longer offered. Facial lifts revise the hood and grille, and enlarge the rear lights. The station wagon features an optional wood panel body lid.
The North American model has a longer bumper (hides bumper shocks that can be recovered) to meet local 5 mph (8.0 km/h) impact standards; they acquired standard radial tires in 1975. Improved impact side doors were installed on all doors. This series also looks at the standard (on some models) Electro Sensor Panels that monitor the status of fluids and light bulbs. Like the previous Coronas, some models have shifter mounted on the steering column. Corona sales continued to grow as a result of the 1973 oil crisis. The two-door hardtop continued, with trim levels of 1600GL, 1800SR and 2000SR, with coupé © proving popular in the US but more popular in Japan. Meanwhile, a two-door sedan, sold well in the United States but very little in Japan, and this is the last Corona offered in this bodystyle.
Corona saw new competitors in Japan, Europe and the United States from Honda Accord in 1976, and Subaru DL in 1974. The superiority of Honda and Subaru over Corona is that both vehicles are front-wheel drive, while Corona is the rear-wheel drive. In response to the Japanese government regulations on emissions control regulations, Toyota introduced the Toyota TTC-V (Vortex) on an 80 PS (59 kW) 19R only engine, using a gas exhaust recirculation implementation. In Japan, the 12R-U engine is designed to run on LPG for taxi use, starting in October 1975. To meet new emission regulations, the 12R 1 liter engine is replaced with a more modern 2T-J in a commercial model. The 18R-E engine with fuel injection used in 2000SL and 2000SR stopped production due to emission problems. In November 1975, 1800 saw the elimination of twin carburetors due to emissions regulations, which meant the termination of the 1800SR coupe. June 1976 saw the installation of a catalyst system included with the TTC-C system.
January 1977 saw a small change in the interior and exterior, with a revised grille and hood, and new headlights. The rear light is also modified; while still rectangular, they are less busy in appearance.
New Zealand assembly starts with 1.6 OHV, three-speed manual column turn and front seat bench and 1.8-liter 16R OHC four-speed front seat manual seat selection. Later, the OHC 18R 2.0 liter engine replaces the 1.8 and is also offered with a three-speed automatic, the first automatic Corona in New Zealand. The Australian model has 18R from scratch, as did South Africans.
Sixth Generation (T130; 1978-1983)
Introduced in Japan in September 1978, the Corona T130 series adopted the boxier design over the T100/110/120 series that came out. It retains the standard front-engine/rear-wheel-drive layout of all the Coronas that preceded it. The T130 series is available in a variety of body styles in various markets including a four-door sedan, two-door hardtop coupe, four-door wagon and a new five-door liftback, featuring 40:60 folding rear-fold seats. The "T130" assignment to all body style corona signifies a new approach, not a different serial number identifier for different body styles.
All models feature independent MacPherson strut front suspension as well as a four-link trailing arm rear suspension arrangement with Panhard rods. Disc brakes are installed as standard equipment on the front of all models. Rear disc brakes are installed as standard on 2000GT and 2000SL, which are not available for all international markets. Other models are equipped with rear drum brakes.
The T130 is the last Corona marketed in the US. It is offered as a sedan, wagon or liftback with Base or LE equipment. In North America, Corona was replaced for a 1983 model by a similar size Camry sedan but front wheels and a five-door hatchback. Since then, Camry has grown larger than Corona and Carina's sister car which is more sporty.
The T130 series is manufactured with a variety of engine and transmission combinations. The 12R, 2T (and 12T) 1.6 liter engines, and 18R 18R engines are the most common. Among other minor changes, the 1.8 liter 3T/13T engine was added in 1981 to replace the 1.6 liter 2T/12T. North American Corona shares a 2.2 liter 20R engine with Celica. The emissions regulations issued in 1978 were applied in various models on offer. 1.8L engine equipped with electronic fuel injection and 2.0L engine. In Japan, the respectable 2.0L 18R-G is offered in the 2000GT range, developing 101Ã, kW (135Ã, hp) at 5,800rpm
Toyota Australia produces sedans and carriages using the 1.9 Liter Holden Starfire engine, which is attached to Toyota's engine terminology as 1X, combined with four speed or optional five-speed Borg-Warner 505. Toyota Australia also imports a four-door sedan and a five-door liftback equipped with a 2.0-liter engine 18R for the upper class range.
New Zealand assembly starts with a 1.6 liter 12R engine and a three-speed manual transmission with a front seat bench, and 1.8 liter 3T (TT132) with a four-speed manual or three speed automatic. 1.6 liters are immediately converted into newer 2T machines, plus manual and four-speed buckets. Later on the run, Toyota NZ added a locally-assembled Liftback version with a 1.8-liter engine and a manual or automatic transmission. These models also have standard radios and separate cassette decks - both are rare factory fittings in the country at the time.
In Indonesia, the Corona T130 was available in 2000 (RT132) from 1979. From 1981, it was available as 1800 (TT132). Then replaced by Toyota Corona Mark II X60 series. The Corona returned to Indonesia with the Corona FF T150 series.
Produksi T130 berakhir pada tahun 1982, untuk digantikan oleh seri T140.
Generasi ketujuh
Penggerak roda belakang (T140; 1982-1987)
The T140, which will be the longest running series of Corona, entered production as a rear-wheel-drive sedan, coupÃÆ'Â © and wagon in January 1982. Produced by Toyota Australia continued until 1987, by which time the T150 series had been released. The T140 series is also brought in diesel-powered diesel/LPG diesel versions, which are very popular in Hong Kong, Macao and Singapore. The T140 is not exported to many markets where the T130 is sold (like Indonesia), with many importers choosing to stay for the T150 with front-wheel drive.
Starting with this generation series, the Toyota Carina platform was changed from the early start of the Toyota Celica to the Corona platform. Corona remains exclusive to Japanese dealers Toyopet Store , and Carina continues to be sold just at Toyota's store location in conjunction with the larger Toyota Crown.

For the Japanese market only, the five-door wagon (called "Van") is available with a 1.5-liter 5K-J gasoline engine, a 12-J 1.6 liter petrol engine or a 1.8 liter 1C diesel engine. The gasoline engine has either a 4-speed manual or a 3-speed automatic gearbox but the diesel engine has a 5-speed manual gearbox. Some of the carriages have five doors but no backseat.
The European export version received 2T four cylinders, with DIN 75Ã, PS (55Ã, kW). There is also a 1.8-liter 86-PS (63-kW) engine, as well as a 1.8 liter diesel unit 1C , with a claimed DIN of 58 PS (43 kW)). Corona T140 is not exported in large quantities to Europe, as most importers focus on the slightly smaller Carina and then T150-series cars with front-wheel drive.
After the late 1985 introduction of the T160 Corona coupe, the rear-wheel-drive coupe was discontinued. The sedan range was gradually trimmed and in May 1986 only 1.5 and 1.8 (3A-U, 1S-U) remained, along with 1.5 Van (KT147V) and 1.8 Diesel Van. This continues to be available until the introduction of the December 1987 Corona T170-series.
- Australia
For the Australian market, there are two models sold between 1983 and 1987: ST141 with 2.0 liter 2S-C and from 1984, RT142, equipped with 2.4 liter fuel injected 22R -E . Both models are available in body style sedan or wagon. Lower S and CS (2.0 liter) trim levels are fitted with a standard four-speed manual transmission (an optional five-speed manual and three or four automatic speeds). The upper trim level was 2.0-liter CS-X until November 1984 when it was replaced by the 2.4-liter CSi model and the Avante luxury (2.0- and 2.4-liter).
Toyota released the limited edition Olympic model in 1984, offering a complete cluster of digital instruments either manual or automatic and in both sedan and wagon body variants. In 1985, the limited edition SR model was offered in white and manual transmission only with front and rear spoilers, white painted grille and side mirrors, white highlights in tail lights (not black), SR letters on boot cover, red pinstriping exterior, front seat sport with red pin lines, and three-leather steering wheel.
Toyota Australia introduced a facelift in November 1985. This included the addition of a former CS-X grille for the S model and the Avante grille for CS and CSi. There is also a new wheel trim on all versions and a revised rear light lens. The pre-facelift model can be identified by the rear lights with a black double horizontal line engraved along the base. Facelift models receive lenses with a smoother single horizontal line that cuts across the center of the tail light and chrome strips on the bottom. CS Facelift and CSi carriages receive horizontal strips above the tailgate and additional black plastic molds around the plates.
Taxi
Specialized taxi version is a spin-off of the T140, which is used specifically as taxis in Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, Panama and Singapore. It was first introduced with a 1.8 liter 1C diesel engine in January 1982 (CT140). In September the 1.8 liter lpg version (YT140) was added to the lineup. In addition to getting a new rear and higher roof lines and more upright for a more comfortable rear seat, changes are also made on the headlights and grilles. While based on the T140, the front and rear take their design cues from the A60 Carina. In December 1986 the car underwent a lightweight facelift, and the diesel option was upgraded to a 2-liter 2C (CT141) version.
The car is not generally sold for personal use. After November 1991, diesel options are no longer available for the Japanese market but are still available for export (eg Macau). Production only ended in April 1998, generally replaced by the S150 Series Crown (later renamed Comfort). This marks the end of the Corona taxi line. Most Corona 140/147 cabs have long been replaced with new vehicles; it remains in common use for a long time in Macau and Pakistan.
Front-wheel drive (T150; 1983-1987)
The Corona T150 is known as the Corona FF, which is sold alongside the more traditional Corona (T140-series) and has recently had a facelifting. Basically a shortened version of the Camry, this is part of Toyota's very careful approach to introducing a front wheel drive vehicle. Toyota returned to the naming tradition of the platform, which was assigned to the different body styles of this generation made available, abandoned in 1978. The FF Corona as introduced in January 1983 is only available with a five-door body liftback style, and only with 100Ã,® carburetors, PS ( 74Ã, kW) 1.8 liter 1S-LU inline-four. In October 1983 a more traditional four-door sedan was added, and the T150 gradually became a major part of the Corona lineup as the T140 series shrank in importance.
In 1983, the Corona T150 became the first Japanese-made car with a digital liquid crystal gauge.
Along with the new bodystyle, more engines are also added: 1.5 liter 3A-LU smaller at the bottom, while 1.8 is now available with fuel injectors (1S-ELU) and 115 PS (85 kW). There are also two-liter diesel (2C-L) and 1.8 carburetors replaced by a 1S-iLU injected center point, with five extra horsepower. In 1984, the chassis was also used as the basis for a new, front-wheel-drive version of the Carina sedan.
In August 1985 Corona underwent minor changes, mostly consisting of larger new taillights. Also new is the range of Celica and Carina related. With a more sporty chassis and five lug wheels (instead of four), it receives a new T160 chassis code. This chassis, as well as two-liter dual-cam 3S-GELU engine with 160 PS (118 kW) (JIS) at 6400 rpm is used for the new Corona 2.0 GT and GT-R versions. The sport version 1.8 SX-R (1S-ELU) of the 160-series sedan was also added at the end of 1985.
- Export market
The Corona hatchback eventually crashed in Australia in 1983 in favor of the larger Camry and the previous generation saloon and estate was dropped in 1987 to be replaced by the Toyota Camry # V20, but in New Zealand, Toyota continued to offer Corona, locally assembled at Toyota's plant in Thames, New Zealand. Initially, the T150 Corona was launched in New Zealand in 1983 as a hatchback only, to complement the previous generation Corona T140 saloon and plantations that continue to be sold in the New Zealand market as in Australia. However, the T140 saloon was dropped in 1985 and the T150 Corona saloon was later launched to replace it. With the suspension blown by Chris Amon rider, New Zealand Coronas has carbureted 1.8 or 2 liters of fuel engine injected. Later, Toyota New Zealand followed in the footsteps of Australia and eventually dropped Corona in 1996, instead of marketing the Camry made by Australia as its offer in the mid-market segment.
Coronas export market is generally fitted with a 1.6 liter 4A engine, but in many markets (New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Latin America) Corona T150 is also available with 2.0 liter engine. In Southeast Asia, 1.6 EX-Saloon without emission of teeth (4A-L) produces 79 PS (58 kW) at 5600 rpm. In Indonesia, the original T150 was sold as GL Corona and after the 1985 facelift it became the Corona EX-Saloon.
Toyota's large family car series in Europe is quite confusing when seen over the last 25 years. The 1970s to 1983 models of Carina sisters have been sold in most of Europe, but in 1984 they were replaced with "Carina II" - a completely Corona 1983 model sold in Japan with changes to headlights, grille and trim (Carina in Japan at the time was a similar but boxier vehicle.)
Corona CoupÃÆ'Â © (T160; 1985-1989)
When Celica re-aligned from its former "A-series" RWD platform to share the Corona "T-series" FWD platform, the Celica notchback was renamed the Korona Coupe in Japan, which is identical to the Celica version available internationally. with the only difference being the removal of a retractable headlamp to support conventional fixed items. It replaces the Corona CoupÃÆ' Â © rear-wheel-drive T140, leaving only a few vans and sedans in the Corona RWD lineup. The T160 series cars have a rather longer wheelbase as well as a wider track (front and rear) than the Celica version available elsewhere in the world. The Corona Coupe remains exclusive to Japanese Toyopet Store along with the larger, all new Toyota Soarer, while the Celica liftback and conversions remain at the Toyota Corolla Store location. The Corona Coupe was manufactured from 1985 to 1989. In 1994 it was belatedly replaced by Toyota Curren and sold at Toyota's Vista Store location.
Coupe Korona comes with three engines; 1.8-liter SOHC 1S-iLU and two twin-cams, 1.6-liter 4A-GELU or 2 liter 3S-GELU. The chassis code is ST160, AT160, and ST162. In May 1988, the 1.8-liter engine was replaced by the 4S-FiLU twin cams.
The eighth generation (T170; 1987-1992)
Corona and Toyota Carina continue to grow in line with the increasing popularity. Because of Japan's tax laws, both models earned a maximum of 1,700 mm (66.9 in) permitted for lower tax brackets, and in the 1980s and early 1990s, the cars were of similar size. The previous generation ST160 Corona CoupÃÆ' Â © was not updated with this generation, and was not replaced until 1993, when it was renamed to Toyota Curren. For this generation, the new Corona EXiV four-door hardtop has to be done for those looking for something extra. This is the last generation that offers Corona GT to Japanese buyers, equipped with Toyota's active suspension technology called TEMS that comes with independent suspension "four-wheeled" PEGASUS "and" LASRE "-a multi-port multi-port fuel injection technology on 3S Machines -GUID.
The five-door Corona Liftback is sold as "Corona SF" in Japan, in a much smaller ranks than a four-door sedan. The five-door model proved much more popular in Europe, where, confusingly, it was marketed as Carina II . Sedans and carts are also part of the Carina II car line, which is the rejuvenated Corona and not the T170 Carina sold in Japan. The lightweight Carina T170 series was launched in Japan in December 1987.
Limited production of Corona was sold only in Japan in May 1990, to celebrate the 10 million Corona that had been sold, called the Corona Super Roomy. It adds 210 mm (8.3 inches) to the wheelbase, and is limited to 500 units.
Corona EXiV (T180)
The Corona T180 series was introduced as a Toyota Corona EXiV that was distributed with Carina twins, called the Toyota Carina ED. According to Toyota, the letters EXiV are from the words EX tra i mpressi V e. The Corona EXiV followed from the success of Corona Coupà ©  ©, by introducing the slender look of a low coupe draped, while adding two more doors, in a four-door coupe tradition. Built on the same version of the Corona chassis as used for the Celica, this is a continuation of the Corona T160 sports series though it is now receiving its own bodywork.
The ninth generation (T190; 1992-1996)
Introduced in March 1992, the new Corona made its European debut at the Geneva Auto Show . In Europe, Corona is known as Toyota Carina E and replaces Carina II (T170). Carina E was built at Toyota's new plant in Burnaston, near Derby, England, England, but early cars and all GT-i models were built in Tsutsumi, Japan. The cars were imported in Europe from the third quarter of 1992 to the opening of the Burnaston plant in December of that year.
For the Japanese domestic market, the Twin Corona Carina platform receives different bodywork.
This Corona generation received a redesign to be bigger, heavier, and has a really round aerodynamic shape from the 1990s. The exterior dimensions and engine size remain in accordance with Japanese size regulations so continue to offer products to Japanese buyers who want to reduce their annual tax obligations.
The five-door model is called Corona SF in Japan, while the station wagon has become a separate line there, from 1993, called Toyota Caldina.
T190 is the last Corona for most export markets. It is marketed as Corona Absolute in Indonesia, or Corona Exsior in the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
On the European mainland, Carina E is offered at XL and GL trim levels, but in the UK they are marketed as Xi (1.6 liters), XLi (1.6, 1.8 liters), SLi (1.8 liters), GLi 1.6, 1.8, 2.0-liter), GTi (2.0-liter, no real) and Executive (2.0-liter, no real) between 1992 and 1996. Diesels are available as 2.0-liter XLD and GLD trim. From 1996, the S (1.6-liter, hatchback only), GS (1.6, 1.8-liter), CD (1.6, 1.8, 2.0-liter), and CDX (1.8, 2.0-liter) trim replaced the previous slimmer scheme. Diesels now are GS 2.0 liter and GL trim. High-performance GT-i with 3S-GE engine is offered in small quantities in certain European countries. All versions (apart from GTi/Executive) are available as a four-door sedan, a five-door hatchback or a five-door car. Applied as Carina, this is the 1993 Semperit Irish Car.
It is also sold in New Zealand, but not Australia. The engine is the same as the Toyota Carina E, except there is no diesel variant. The station wagon variant is a Toyota Caldina engineered badge. Sedan and liftback are assembled in Thames, New Zealand, while the carts are imported completely from Japan. Local assembled cars also receive a combination of spring and special silencers (once again developed by Chris Amon racer) as well as some other changes.
In the Philippines, the Corona is only available with a 2.0-liter 3S-FE engine during its production from 1993 to 1998. The initial example of the Corona T190 (ST191) looks similar to the 1992 Japanese specification model. It only has a 2.0 EX Saloon variant, with a choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The 1995 model has a facelifted exterior, has a front and rear bumper with black trim, and a standard three-part rear spoiler. The Exsior was introduced in 1996, this time with an extended bumper and red and yellow tail lights and ornaments. Another variant of Corona Exsior is the LE, which features genuine leather seats, fake dashboard wood panels, and electronic air/ionizer cleaners as standard equipment. Finally replaced in 1998 with the Toyota Camry XV20.
Production in Japan ended in 1995, but in Europe and Southeast Asia survived until the end of 1997, when it was replaced by Avensis, which was also built in Burnaston.
Corona EXiV (T200)
The Corona T200 series was sold as a continuation of the Toyota Corona EXiV hardtop sedan, while the successor to Corona Coupà © was transferred to the Toyota Vista Store location and reintroduced as Toyota Curren.
Caldina (1992-1997)
The first Toyota Caldina is a five-door version or a commercial van from Toyota Corona's four-door sedan in Japan. The wagon has an independent strut rear suspension while the commercial wagon has spring semi independent spring. The cart was given its own identity, while the previous station wagon version was named Corona wagon. Caldina was introduced as the successor to Corona and Carina wagons, and sold at Toyota Toyota dealers Toyota Toys and Toyopet Stores. The Caldina was introduced after the Subaru Legacy train and the Nissan Avenir cart.
Production in Japan ended in 1995, but in Europe and Southeast Asia it lasted until 1997.
Tenth Generation (T210; 1996-2001)
The last generation, tenth, was built between 1996 and 2001 for the Japanese market, with a special model called the Toyota Corona Premio separated into an independent model called Premio (code ST210), with Allion following after Carina after 2001. Corona Premio is offered as a Base Premio, Premio E, and Premio G. Four-cylinder engine options 1.6-liter 4A-FE , 1.8-liter lean burn 7A-FE , and 2.0 -liter 3S-FE .

The Corona Premio automatic model comes with three driving modes that can be selected for electronically controlled transmissions: Normal, ECT PWR (power mode), and ECT MANU (manual mode).
Caldina (1997-2002)
Sharing platforms with the Toyota Corona T210 and Toyota Carina series, Caldina is the Japanese version of Toyota Avensis, which replaces Carina E in Europe.
The 4WD model is coded ST215, and is offered as Active Sports GT with a 3S-GE engine. The top of the GT-T line comes with a fourth-generation 260D turbocharged PST engine (191-kW; 256Ã, hp) 4, and includes an all-wheel-drive system similar to the Toyota Celica GT-Four. GT-T is also equipped with optional electronic stability control (VSC) (standard on Active Sport version). The Aerial version featured a sunroof and contoured roof rack that was as large as the standard. Weighing 1,470 kg (3,241 pounds), Caldina GT-T offers a performance similar to the Subaru WRX wagon that reaches 0-100 km/h in 7 seconds. Refresher was given in 2000 with fresh bumpers and fresh interior lights and additional lugs added to the turbo manifold to stop warping problems common to previous GT-T models.
The engines for lower models are 1.8L L 7A-FE, 2.0G gasoline 3S-FE, and 2.2 liter 3C-TE diesel.
The eleventh generation (T220; 1997-2002)
For the next model series, T220, Corona's name was dropped. It's still built as a sedan, liftback, and cart. Only wagons sold in Japan such as Caldina are built on the T210 platform. Sedans and liftbacks are mainly sold in Europe as Avensis, and lower-class models for cabs called Corona. The four-cylinder engine for the Avensis is 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 petrol, and diesel. Corona taxis have turbo diesel. In South America, Avensis renamed the Corona and powered by a 3-liter 2.0-liter engine. This is the last Corona, and Caldina's third generation is built on the new T240 platform, which is also used in Allion and Premio.
