The meaning is the same as in English (peregrine falcon).
With this model change, the body variations of the Tercel/Corsa were reduced to two: a 4-door sedan, and a 3-door hatchback (the Corolla II did not have a sedan version). Since the 4-door sedan skipped a full model change in 1986, its makeover in 1990 was the first in eight years. The 3-door models featured predominantly round, cute styling, while the 4-door sedan had a high-deck appearance, with the top of the rear trunk rising higher than the beltline.
All gasoline engines were upgraded to DOHC 16-valve EFI units. The full-time 4-wheel-drive (4WD) system superseded the part-time 4WD system, and was made available to 3-door models, too. The engine lineup included an inline 4-cylinder 1,496 cc unit (5E-FE) producing 105 PS (100 PS with 4WD), a 1,496 cc 115 PS unit (5E-FHE), a 1,331 cc 100 PS unit (4E-FE), and a 1,453 cc turbo diesel unit (1N-T) developing 67 PS. In addition to the conventional revolution-sensitive power steering, vehicle-speed-sensitive power steering also became available.
Safety devices were also upgraded in August 1992, to include high-mount stop lamps, SRS airbags, side door beams, and 3-point seatbelts with the emergency locking retractor (ELR) for the rear seats.
