The various meanings of "Mark" are the same as in English (target, grade, fame). "Corona Mark II" can be taken to mean that the car is both "the second-generation model" and "an upgraded version" of the Corona.
The 4-door sedan offered elegant linear styling featuring a 6-light cabin and SAE-compliant four square headlamps. The 4-door hardtop came with a slant-nose style and non-standard-shaped 2-headlamps, with concealed center pillars that gave it the appearance of a pillarless hardtop.
The 5-engine lineup was headed by a newly developed 2-liter inline 6-cylinder SOHC unit (1G-EU), along with a 4-cylinder DOHC unit (18R-GEU) for the GT grade, 1.8- and 2-liter 4-cylinder carburetor units, and a 2.2-liter diesel unit. This was soon joined by a 6-cylinder SOHC turbocharged unit (M-TEU) and a 2.8-liter unit (5M-EU). In a minor model change in August 1982, a 6-cylinder DOHC 24-valve engine (1G-GEU) producing 160 PS/18.5 kgm was added. The new "super white" body color, made available at this time for the Mark II and its sister cars Chaser and Cresta, proved extremely popular and caused a sensation.
During this model generation, the Mark II 4-door hardtop outsold the sedan, becoming the leading model of the Mark II line.
