In November 1965, a 5-door sedan (liftback) was added to the third-generation Corona that had debuted in September 1964. The versatile hatchback sedan was one of the most progressive models in the private-use car market in Japan at the time. Initially available only with a 1,490 cc 70 PS inline 4-cylinder OHV engine (2R), the car offered a choice of transmissions including a 4-speed manual and a 2-speed Toyoglide automatic. In April 1968, the Golden series models with 1,600 cc SOHC engines (7R series) joined the lineup.
