In May 1987, the sporty Sprinter Trueno model underwent a changeover along with the Sprinter sedan. The Trueno adopted the front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout at this remodeling, and a 2-door hatchback became the only available body type.

As with the previous generation, the most conspicuous difference in appearance between the Trueno and its sister car Corolla Levin was in the headlamps. The Levin's headlamps were fixed, while those of the Trueno were retractable. Other mechanical components were identical between the two models. The engine was either a naturally aspirated or supercharged 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve unit. The latter (4A-GZ) was mounted on the GT-Z model and produced 145 PS, which was comparable to an output of a 2-liter engine. The output was further increased to 165 PS in May 1989. The suspension followed the preceding models' 4-wheel independent MacPherson strut and coil spring system, although the design was almost completely renewed. The electronically controlled suspension (TEMS) was standard with the GT Apex model grade and optional with the GT.
