Frisky brother Toyota Corolla – Toyota Sprinter

Toyota Corolla's frisky brother - Toyota Sprinter

Home... Types

Toyota Corolla Sprinter is a car created for lovers of speed and style in each generation of Toyota Corolla.

The history of this model began back in March 1968, when personal vehicles were becoming more and more popular. Then these changes were just beginning to make changes in lifestyle and society as a whole, and new cars were just beginning to be released periodically one after another.

It was in the wake of this popularity that the developers of the Japanese automobile concern decided to launch the Toyota Corolla, which later became a world classic, and the Toyota Sprinter, its more playful and sporty “younger brother.” The need for both models was to provide choice to motorists and accommodate more market needs.

The new Toyota Sprinter was released side by side along with the Toyota Corolla until 2000.

First generation: everything is just beginning

The first Sprinter was a fastback body, the peculiarity of which was a sloping roof, without any protrusions, smoothly transitioning from door to door. The car had a small but very powerful 1.1-liter engine, capable of accelerating to 160 kilometers per hour.

This model became an outlet for fans of fast driving who were unable to afford a sports car. The Toyota Sprinter cost enough to please the owner with speed and not bring him to bankruptcy.

The car was sold only in Toyota brand stores in Japan.

Second generation: Sprinter begins to accelerate

In the spring of 1970, a new modification of the Toyota Sprinter saw the light of day. To boost sales, this model no longer bears the Corolla name, although the models had mostly minor differences in exterior design. The dimensions of the Sprinter have become larger, and the engine has also increased. Now the power unit could be 1.4 and 1.6 liters in volume.

Third generation

Four years after the second generation models entered the market, Toyota presented the third.

In this modification, the Sprinter, created on the basis of the third generation Corolla, could be a coupe, 2-door or 4-door sedan and hatchback. The differences between the Corolla and Sprinter were more visual than technical.

The sedan car gained some formality in its exterior design, while the coupe and hatchback became sleeker and more aerodynamic.

Corolla models had E30-38 codes, and Sprinter E41-47. After another reboot, the Corolla models became the E50-55 series, and the Sprinter became the E60. In 1978, the Toyota Sprinter had a serious competitor in the market - a Nissan car called Pulsar.

Fourth generation: E70

The new version of the 1979 Sprinter was based, as before, on the same version of Corolla and could also be a coupe, 2-door, 4-door sedan and hatchback.

The rear suspension of the car became spring, but retained the springs on the station wagons. The engine increased to 1.8 liters and had a power of 75 horsepower.

After modernization in 1982, the car could be equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission and power steering - a novelty at that time.

As for the appearance, unlike the Corolla, where the designers still adhered to rigor and simplicity, the Sprinter’s exterior was somewhat more complex.

Fifth generation: the legendary E80 series

The new generation, which appeared in 1983, was inscribed in the history of not only the automotive industry, but also motorsport. It was then that the Trueno Sprinter model was released, which was so loved by racers all over the world. The peculiarity of this car was its affordable price, exceptional speed and drift - difficult turns that must be taken at maximum speed in a controlled drift.

Motorists who choose this model now have access to a new 1.8 liter diesel or fuel injection engine, independent rear suspension and front-wheel drive. Interestingly, only the AE85 and AE86 models had the latter, and after them rear-wheel drive was no longer installed on cars in the Toyota Corolla line.

The Sprinter completely repeated all the features of the Corolla, except that it had so-called “blind” headlights that could be hidden under the hood.

Sixth generation: E90

The following modifications of the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Sprinter appeared in 1987. They were all exclusively with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, as well as power units of 1.6 and 1.3 liters.

The sprinter could be a sedan, coupe, 5-door hatchback called Sprinter Cielo, or a station wagon, which was named Sprinter Carib.

By the way, in the USA this model was called Geo Prizm, and in Australia - Holden Nova.

Like the previous ones, the E90 model underwent a design reboot, thanks to which not only the appearance of the car (rear optics, bumper, colors and interior) changed, but also its name among car enthusiasts. Thus, cars produced earlier were now called “Zenki” or “Zenki”, which meant “early”, and converted cars became “Kouki”.

Seventh generation: the emergence of the Sprinter Marino

In June 1991, after the presentation of the new model, it became clear that the technical characteristics of the Sprinter again repeated the Corolla, except that its performance as a hatchback was discontinued.

A year later, Toyota introduced a new model - the Sprinter Marino, which was a 4-door hardtop sedan with frameless side windows. Sprinter Mario could be equipped with a 1.5 liter and 1.6 liter engine with two transmission options: manual and automatic.

Eighth generation E110: farewell

In the latest update for the Toyota Sprinter, the car was presented as a sedan.

It was not the design that underwent fundamental changes, but the design of the car, which completely repeated the design of the new Toyota Corolla. The Corolla Sprinter differed only in the Japanese badge on the radiator grille and interior trim.

This was the last modernization of the Toyota Corolla Sprinter model. Since that time, it has been replaced in the Corolla line by the Toyota Allex.

Review of Toyota Sprinter Carib. Pocket Land Cruiser. — DRIVE2

It’s hard for a car enthusiast in Russia. Gasoline is always rising in price; the transport tax has not been abolished. It’s scary to drive into the city by car, there are ruts in the asphalt, potholes the size of your favorite small car. On top of everything, there are the costs of keeping your swallow running. Yes, it’s just right to drive a tank through the streets of our cities! Or maybe not a tank? Maybe an SUV?

Maybe yes. But the reliability of the chassis of such cars, as well as the acquired ability to drive off the asphalt, result in high costs for fuel, maintenance, taxes, and what can we say, even the tire size is far from budget. And if you are also a connoisseur of handling, then these cars will most likely disappoint you.

So, let's imagine such a situation. You, the head of the family, once again drinking bitters in the garage with friends, complain about the carelessness of the authorities, the waste of money on suspension repairs, taxes, gasoline.

And then every spring the mother-in-law with the seedlings must be delivered to the dacha. And there the country road is close to the tank training ground in terms of its condition.

It’s not a good idea to take a field, after all! Where should we put the children? And my mother-in-law? Also, seedlings - if they weren’t okay. And money is running short...

But the truth is, sometimes having 150 - 200 rubles in your pocket, if you need the most universal car, the image of a domestic old woman pops up in most people - Niva 3D. But this car doesn’t fit in with the family pet. In addition, it is very difficult to find a well-maintained example on the secondary market.

Yes, and driving it on the highway is a dubious pleasure (this price includes cars before 2005, with carburetor engines, and the pricing for this model is very interesting, for 200 thousand you can get an 80 year, and for 150 thousand a 2005).

All you have to do is grit your teeth and move on the bubble?

But no. As always, engineers from the Land of the Rising Sun came to the aid of us, simple average beggars! And today we are reviewing a copy from 1989, the condition of which is being brought closer in small steps to ideal!

Full size

1989 Toyota Sprinter Carib. Body AE95G. It was produced from 1988 to 1995. In 1990, the model underwent restyling.

Despite the fact that the car is based on the Toyota Corolla platform, why does Sprinter appear in its name? In general, what kind of model is this, why produce a technical clone of an already good model? Well, let's turn to history.

Toyota Corolla Sprinter is a car created for lovers of speed and style in each generation of Toyota Corolla.

The history of this model began back in March 1968, when personal vehicles were becoming more and more popular. Then these changes were just beginning to make changes in lifestyle and society as a whole, and new cars were just beginning to be released periodically one after another.

The new Toyota Sprinter was released side by side along with the Toyota Corolla until 2000.

The sprinter could be a sedan, coupe, 5-door hatchback called Sprinter Cielo, or a station wagon, which was named Sprinter Carib.

By the way, in the USA this model was called Geo Prizm, and in Australia - Holden Nova.

Indeed, after walking around the car several times, you understand that the Japanese designers did their best. You continue to “devour” with your gaze, again and again, this sports and space station wagon.

The appearance of the car is so expressive that even in today's traffic, the car looks relevant and modern. This “chisel-like” nose is a play on the rear window.

Lovers of beauty have something to enjoy.

Full size

The car will not get lost in city traffic. But even on a broken country road it won’t help.

What about practicality? After all, as you know, behind a beautiful design, there is usually a salon devoid of any functionality. But believe me, not in our case! Although by modern standards they are far from ideal.

Full size

The trunk volume is 175 liters. When the rear seats are folded, it increases to 520 liters. Everything will fit - mother-in-law, seedlings, etc. After all, it’s better to go, even if it’s not entirely comfortable.

An interesting design is screwed to the trunk ceiling. As it turned out, this is an additional glove compartment in which you can hide a stash from your wife, for spare parts, weapons, drugs, courtesans.

But since the owner of the car is a law-abiding dispatcher in an electrical network organization and a diligent family man at home, in the glove compartment he only has “crocodiles” and “Kama Sutra” to “adore” his faithful horse!

Full size

...and its contents

The back row can comfortably accommodate only children, or a couple of adults on short trips. Despite the fact that Japanese cars of the late 80s were quite rich in equipment, only an ashtray was available for passengers in the back row.

But with regards to the front seats, this is much more interesting. The front panel is not distinguished by design delights, but it will pleasantly surprise those who like to “feel and knock.” Everything is made of soft materials. The set of lugs is standard. A glove compartment at the front passenger's feet, a box - an armrest with two compartments, ashtrays, pockets for change.

Full size

Glovebox. Couldn't it have been made at least this big in the Volga?

Full size

Suck - don't suck! Caramels:)

Full size

The Japanese apparently also love to smoke!

Well, a station wagon and a station wagon. But still, the unusualness of this car is revealed by one very interesting little thing on the panel.

Full size

Not a bad arsenal for a station wagon!

True, adjusting the clearance due to age no longer works. And its restoration can easily cover the cost of the car itself. And there's no use for it. Ground clearance of 170 mm is quite enough, and to overcome difficult areas, the inter-axle blocking is quite sufficient. The car is not a tough rogue, but in comparison with modern crossovers it will give many a head start.

The suspension is quite energy-intensive, with impressive suspension travel for a passenger station wagon. In trying to hang the car, we did not find a good place, but the obstacle that we “slipped” on him, Karib easily passed. Throughout the test, I was honestly afraid that the Carib would hit the installed “towel rail” or the rear bumper on the rise. But my fears were in vain.

And we chose this place...Yes, yes, exactly on your nines!

As for the normal driving modes, the car turned out to be very pleasant to drive. The steering wheel has a pleasant effort and allows you to feel the car well. The dynamics behind the wheel did not seem hurricane-like, but the Carib easily ran away from the Volga. This is understandable; the weight and power of the engines on paper are far from being in favor of the Volga.

Our Caribe has a 4A - FE engine with a volume of 1.6 liters. and a return of 105 hp. In a coupe with a 4-speed automatic, the car has to be constantly “turned” for a more or less dynamic ride. But the stated acceleration is 10 seconds.

, it’s quite enough to keep up with your nine! Also, I noticed that the first gear is quite long and the car loses most of its dynamics in it. Although the car’s torque of 137 N*m is not impressive anyway.

In turn, the long row of automatic transmission gears helps a lot when driving a loaded car. Also, on a muddy primer or in the mud, it is easier to move in tension on automatic.

I was also pleased with the maneuverability of the car. The car's suspension is almost that of a passenger car. The front is a regular McPherson, the rear is a semi-independent beam with two levers. The car is protected from rolls by stabilizers, both front and rear.

Full size

Front suspension with fairly powerful arms.

Full size

The bottom is completely flat. There are no overtly hanging parts that can be torn off. Engine compartment protection while installed in the owner's garage.

So, what conclusion can we sum up? Having 60-70 thousand at your disposal, you can already look towards this model. The downside will be that for this money, the car was either brutally killed off-road, or its body has long been eaten away by corrosion.

Conditions close to ideal, like our specimen, cost around 100 - 150 thousand. If you want a completely perfect and well-groomed one, be prepared to spend 200 rubles.

Yes, this machine has many disadvantages in terms of ergonomics. Here the trunk is not large and there is not enough space for rear passengers. But the most significant disadvantage of this car is its age. But there are still cars in good and even excellent condition. Just like the owner of our Carib, we are not ready to part with it. They do not see an alternative for themselves.

And the words of the contractor, who talked about how they toured all the facilities in Yakutia and upon arrival replaced only 2 racks, only confirms the survivability of this small, “pocket” Land Cruiser.

Well, I, in turn, express my deep gratitude to my former colleague, friend and clubmate EdyaTokarev for introducing me closer to my Caribas-Barabas.

Let's like, share, subscribe to Caribbean! Good luck everyone, thank you for reading to the end :)

Toyota Sprinter

Toyota SprinterGeneral dataOn the marketGenerations

Toyota Sprinter (Japanese: トヨタ・スプリンター, Toyota Sprinter ) is a compact car produced by Toyota from 1968 to 2001. The first two generations were a three-door coupe based on the Toyota Corolla platform. The third and subsequent generations were developed in other body types:

(fastback, starting from the 3rd generation - compact sedan)
Toyota Sprinter Trueno (three-door coupe)
Toyota Sprinter Cielo (five-door liftback)
Toyota Sprinter Carib (station wagon)
Toyota Sprinter Marino (five-door hardtop based on Toyota Corolla Ceres)

The cars were sold in the Japanese domestic market. However, there were cooperation projects with General Motors, which as a result led to the production by the NUMMI subsidiary of such models based on the Toyota Sprinter as:

Chevrolet Nova (1984 – 1988) USA
Geo Prizm (1988 – 1997) USA
Chevrolet Prizm (1997 – 2002) USA
Holden Nova (1989 – 1996) Australia, manufactured by United Australian Automobile Industries

Also, some models have been adapted for the European market. For example, the fifth generation model Toyota Sprinter Carib AL25G was produced under the name Toyota Tercel 4WD.

The sixth generation model - Toyota Sprinter Cielo AE92 had an adapted version in the form of the renamed Toyota Corolla Liftback.

The reason for renaming the car was that the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model was already present.

The first four generations of the car were produced with rear-wheel drive and a longitudinal engine, and the fifth and subsequent ones with front-wheel drive or permanent all-wheel drive and a transverse engine, however, the Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 retained rear-wheel drive and was the last rear-wheel drive car of this family. All-wheel drive modifications had the ability to turn on the locking of the central differential of the transfer case from the corresponding button, which increased cross-country ability and comfort.

The entire family of cars ceased production in 2001 due to the revision of the Toyota model range. The new platform of the Toyota Corolla E140 served as the basis for a new family of cars: Toyota Allex and Toyota Voltz, which replaced the Toyota Sprinter.

First generation, E10

The first generation Toyota Sprinter appeared in March 1968, as a fastback version of the first generation Toyota Corolla. It was the only generation with the word "Corolla" in its name.

Toyota Corolla Sprinter (KE17)

Like other Corolla cars, the Sprinter received a Toyota K engine with a volume of 1077 cm³, which was increased to a volume of 1077 cm³ (3K) in September 1969.

Second generation, E20

In May 1970, a second-generation coupe model was introduced.

In September 1970, the 3K engine was supplemented with a T engine with a displacement of 1407 cm³. In March 1972, some markets received the 1588 cc 2T engine. The car, equipped with a 2T-G engine with two camshafts, was known as the Sprinter Trueno.

Sprinter

History of the Toyota Sprinter

The Toyota Sprinter is a landmark car for the Japanese manufacturer. The history of many successful projects began with this model. Including the best-selling car all over the world – Toyota Corolla.

The background to the popularization of the Toyota Sprinter goes back to the second half of the 1980s, but the model itself appeared earlier. At that time, the role of personal transport increased significantly. One by one, manufacturers begin to produce cars that subsequently become favorite family or individual vehicles.

History and review of the Toyota Sprinter model

During the decline of the Japanese “bubble economy” AW, the car market re-evaluated the value of compact sedans. The Sprinter can be called the “brother” of the Corolla, the best-selling car in the world, which for many years was the leader in sales in Japan.

In 1997, simultaneously with the Corolla, the Sprinter underwent some changes in its appearance: the design of the radiator grille, headlights, brake lights, and bumper changed. In addition, the practicality of this AW vehicle has increased due to the increased trunk volume. Inside, the dashboard and the shape of the seats have changed.

The Sprinter body meets American safety standards (at the time of its release). The reason for changing the body to the GOA type was the requirements of the time.

In addition, the Sprinter uses interior equipment that meets head impact mitigation standards under US AW vehicle safety regulations.

This AW car also has seat belts that regulate the tension, and a child seat mounted in the rear seats. The salon is equipped with a full electrical package. The Sprinter is equipped with economical 1.3 and 1.5 liter engines.

Toyota Sprinter Carib is an all-wheel drive station wagon that has always been distinguished by its original, extraordinary body.

The second generation of the model, produced since 1988, had an original design of the rear part of the body, which gave it originality and difference from other Toyota AW vehicles.

The third generation of Sprinter Carib began production in 1995 and remained unchanged until the end of the release of this model. It has a more rounded shape and soft colors.

At first, this AW car was produced only in an all-wheel drive version, then modifications with front-wheel drive appeared. However, they were no different from their all-wheel drive counterparts.

The Sprinter Carib is equipped with 1.6 and 1.8 liter in-line petrol engines.

In 1998, a new modification of this AW car called Rosso appeared; the front part of its body is the same as the Corolla model produced for the European market.

Toyota Sprinter Marino

The debut of the car took place in conditions when for several years, starting from the first half of the 80s, there was a steady demand for “hard top” sedans. The car was released onto the market simultaneously with the related Ceres model.

The name Marino is consonant with the Italian word for “sea”. And if you compare this AW car with the base model - Sprinter, then the external differences will be very significant.

But we can say with confidence that in the case of the Marino model, the designers guessed the mood of the buyers, otherwise how could the AW car become so popular.

It should be noted that at one time a car of this model even took part in the Japanese JTCC Championship. (Japan Touring Car Championship). The body was manufactured in accordance with safety requirements regarding frontal collisions (abbreviated CIAS).

The interior was also more refined than other cars of the same class.

Among the subtle, but undoubted advantages of the car is the fact that, unlike most “hard top” cars of that time, the rear windows in the Marino salon were lowered and went completely into the door.

Toyota Sprinter Trueno

The latest generation Toyota Sprinter Trueno debuted in 1995. This AW car inherited a somewhat angular design from previous generations. Like previous models, Levin and Trueno are distinguished from each other by different styles of front and rear headlights. The grille on the Trueno remains the same.

The engine of these AW vehicles has undergone the greatest changes. The Toyota Sprinter Trueno modification BZ-G is equipped with 5-cylinder engines with a DOHC gas distribution system of 1.6 liters, developing a power of 165 hp. Other modifications have 1.5-liter engines with a power of 100 hp. (modification FZ) and a volume of 1.6 liters and a power of 115 hp. (modification XZ).

The chassis of the Toyota Sprinter Trueno basically remains the same, but its parts have been redesigned, which has reduced the weight of the car. In 1997, changes were made to the design of the Toyota Sprinter Trueno; round headlights were installed on the bumper. This model ended the long history of Levin/Trueno cars.

Toyota Sprinter Trueno

Toyota Corolla AE (also called Toyota Sprinter Trueno , Toyota Corolla Levin ) is a series of compact coupes from Toyota, produced on the basis of Toyota Corolla / Toyota Sprinter cars.

1st generation

series AE85, AE86 - May 10, 1983 - May 30, 1987 AE86, AE85 was produced in several versions: coupe and three-door hatchback, with blind and regular headlights. AE85 differs from AE86 mainly in the engine (3A-U - 1.5L, one camshaft and 8 valves), gearbox (cable clutch release) and rear differential (without locking).

The AE86 is the latest rear-wheel drive modification of the Levin and Trueno. The AE86 has a 4A-GE (twin cam) engine under the hood. In addition, this is the last lightweight rear-wheel drive Toyota, not counting the Toyota MR-S convertible, produced since 1998, which has a mid-engine layout.

The Japanese called the AE86 “Hachiroku” (“hachi” and “roku” are the numbers 8 and 6 in Japanese), and the AE85 “Hachigo”.

2nd generation

AE91, AE92 series - June 6, 1987 - May 25, 1991 [1] Following the 6th generation Corolla and Sprinter, which were front-wheel drive, the Corolla Levin also received front-wheel drive. According to the body index (AE92), it was called “Kyuni” (in Japanese, “kyu” is 9, “ni” is 2).

Corolla Levin has become somewhat lighter than the previous generation model; however, there was a GT-Z modification equipped with a more powerful 165 hp engine. with supercharger.

In 1989, in the middle of the generation's life cycle, the car underwent a slight restyling, in particular, the appearance of the front bumper and radiator grille changed.

3rd generation

AE100, AE101 series - June 16, 1991 - April 15, 1995 In the seventh generation of the Corolla and Sprinter models, released in 1991, during the bubble economy, special attention was paid to the combination of performance and product qualities.

The Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno were essentially the same cars; despite the fact that they have retained the image of previous generations, these cars have become more “advanced” in the sporting direction.

The Sprinter Trueno no longer used “folding” (hiding) headlights, instead using narrower ones, which, in turn, made it possible to abandon the radiator grille in the front part of the body.

Despite the fact that the weight of both cars was close to 1 ton, which is not typical for sports cars, sportiness was achieved using the Super Strut Suspension and more powerful engines: 170 hp with a supercharger (4A-GZE) and 160 hp 20-valve with a VVT timing system (modification of the 4A-GE engine, known as Silver Top). In 1993, the Corolla Levin underwent some changes (in particular, the bumper changed) and simplifications, which reduced its cost.

4th generation

AE110, AE111 series - May 1995 - July 2000 The 4th generation Toyota Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno, released in 1995, had a more angular design - in full accordance with the changes that occurred in the design of all Toyota cars in the mid-90s. However, the general concept was inherited from previous generations of the model. Just as before, the difference between the Corolla Levin and the Sprinter Trueno was the different design of the front and rear optics and the presence/absence of a radiator grille.

Like the previous generation, the Corolla Levin was produced only as a coupe.

The biggest changes affected the engines: the top modifications BZ-R, BZ-V, BZ-G were still the same, but slightly modified (the air flow meter was replaced with an absolute pressure sensor (MAP), the diameter of the throttle valves increased from 42mm to 45mm and, the diameter of the exhaust ports was also increased, the lift of the intake camshaft cams was increased from 7.9mm to 8.2mm), an atmospheric 20-valve 4A-GE with a volume of 1.6 liters with a VVT system, with a power of 165 hp. and torque of 162/5600 Nm/rpm at a compression ratio of 11.00 (known as Blacktop or “ Blackhead ”, so nicknamed due to the engine’s black-painted valve cover). In addition, the Corolla Levin was equipped with a 100-horsepower 1.5-liter engine (FZ trim) and a 1.6-liter 4A-FE with 115 hp. (modification XZ). The chassis has remained virtually unchanged, but thanks to some technological changes, the developers managed to reduce the weight of the car as a whole.

Optionally, instead of the MacPherson-type front suspension, a multi-link “Super Strut Suspension” suspension was installed, which allows for sharper vehicle control. An optional sunroof, remote control key and a higher quality music system were also included.

In 1997, there were minor design changes to the appearance of the car, in particular, a bumper with round fog lights began to be used, and a six-speed manual transmission began to be installed on the BZ-R version. The 4A-FE engine was also slightly changed; after 1997, its power was 110 hp. The history of the Corolla Levin ended with this generation.

Each generation of Levin/Trueno was equipped with the 4A-GE engine in various modifications.

Toyota Sprinter contract engine

The Toyota Sprinter was not produced for long, but during the history of its existence it managed to win people's love.

This 5-seater sedan had two undeniable advantages over other brands: low fuel consumption and low cost. Toyota engineers tried to ensure a high level of comfort and reliability.

To achieve this, the car was equipped with adjustable seat belts, full power accessories and an additional seat for children.

Car enthusiasts call the Toyota Sprinter the Corolla's frisky little brother.

The very first car of this model range had a fastback body with a sloping roof and a modest-looking 1100 cc engine at first glance, which allowed the baby to accelerate to 160 km, which captivated that category of speed fans for whom purchasing a sports car was out of reach. But it was possible to buy a car only in Japanese Toyota showrooms.

Toyota Sprinter contract engine The most popular modification of the Toyota Sprinter was equipped with a 1.3 liter engine producing 97 horses and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Later, the car was strengthened with a 1.7 liter engine, which already accommodated 115 horses under the hood.

Even the powerful version consumed fuel economically - only 7.5 liters per hundred kilometers, and the technical equipment made it possible to exceed the upper speed limit of 175 km/h.

The contract engine for the Toyota Sprinter allows you to maintain exactly the same speed qualities. Having passed inspection and restoration measures, a low-mileage engine is again available for installation in a car. Design changes and interior improvements brought the car's weight up to a ton.

In order not to lose the model's calling card - sportiness, the developers installed new power units on the Sprinter. One of them with a drive supercharger contained 170 horses, the second 20-valve with a variable valve timing system VVT - 160 hp.

The multi-link suspension completed the picture.

Farewell to Sprinter

In the early 90s, after the release of the seventh generation, it became clear that all attempts to bring the Toyota Sprinter out of the shadow of its older sister Corolla had failed. There were practically no technical differences.

Although previous modifications of the Sprinter with several body styles and power units sold successfully.

Equipped with economical engines of 1.3 and 1.6 liters, front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive Toyota Sprinter cars in hatchback, sedan, station wagon and coupe bodies were introduced to the American and Australian markets.

After introducing the eighth version of the Toyota Sprinter, the developers decided to discontinue production of this model range and focus on the Corolla. The production of parts for the Sprinter gradually ceased.

Car owners are no longer able to order new units, but they can buy a used Toyota Sprinter engine from specialized companies that supply contract spare parts from foreign car dismantling yards without any problems.

When purchasing, you should determine two main points:

 for which market the car was produced, since for the American consumer there were modifications with two engine options, and for the Australian consumer - with one;  type of car body, because each option has different space under the hood and the purchased engine, for example, from a sedan may not fit into a coupe.

Toyota Sprinter 1999
