A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. The name was intended to evoke the image of a beautifully styled, eye-catching compact car.
There were five available engines, including 1.3-liter 100 PS, standard 1.5-liter 105 PS, 1.6-liter "high-mecha" twin-cam 115 PS, and sports twin-cam 20-valve 160 PS gasoline-powered units, as well as a 2-liter diesel 73 PS unit. A "high-mecha" twin-cam engine was a highly efficient DOHC engine with special gears to drive two camshafts, and a sports twin-cam engine was a DOHC engine designed for sporty performance. While the 1991 Corolla was initially available only with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration, 4-wheel-drive models became available in September 1991.
The wagon skipped the next model change, and was eventually replaced by the Fielder when the ninth-generation Corolla sedan was released. As for the van, it skipped two subsequent changeovers and was replaced by the Probox in 2002.
