The body variations included a 3-door hatchback and a 4-door sedan, constituting the same lineup as that of the previous generation. The general styling became sharper without diminishing the image of the previous models. UV-cut door glass on the driver's side became standard for all models.
The drive mechanisms remained unchanged, and the drivetrain layouts were front-engine, front-wheel-drive and full-time 4-wheel-drive. The available engines included two "high-mecha" twin-cam DOHC 16-valve gasoline-powered units with 1,300 cc 88 PS and 1,500 cc 94 PS, respectively, and a 1,500 cc turbo diesel unit developing 67 PS. The transmission was either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic.
With the debut of the new compact car Vitz in July 1999, production of the Tercel/Corsa and its sister cars was discontinued, putting an end to their nearly 20 years of history since 1978.
