Toyota Corolla Liftback
(1976 - 1992)
Car articles about Toyota Corolla Liftback by year
Five seats, five gears and five doors, packed into an estate coupé, almost like a modern Audi A7 or a BMW 4-series Gran Coupé, that should have been a success in 1979, one might think. It was also reliable and inexpensive. The Toyota Corona was also very popular, but not necessarily in our part of the world. Only a few examples are likely to have survived; one was photographed and described for this report.
The year 1985 was a shock for fans of the traditionally designed Toyota Celica, as the fourth generation came with front-wheel drive instead of rear-wheel drive, a transversely mounted four-cylinder engine and aerodynamically rounded bodywork. But even traditionalists had to admit that the new coupé was much better than its predecessors. But the model had not become cheaper. This driving report tells the story of the fourth generation of the Toyota Celica, describes driving impressions and shows an original example with an almost unique history in pictures.
