The Corona entered the fourth generation in February 1970, in a full model change after an interval of some five and a half years. The body dimensions of the 4-door sedan and van became a size larger, while the pickup model was discontinued.

On the exterior, the conventional steel front grille was replaced with a plastic one featuring a sharply etched design. The mechanical components were largely inherited from its predecessor, including the 1,500 cc 2R and 1600 7R engines, to which a twin-carburetor version (7R-B) was newly added. The choice of transmissions included 3- and 4-speed manual, 2- and 3-speed automatic, and newly adopted electronically controlled 3-speed automatic. A 2-door hardtop model was added to the lineup in August 1970, with either a 1,500 cc OHV engine or an SOHC unit with the displacement expanded from 1,600 cc to 1,700 cc. The 1,700 cc engine was also fitted to the sedan in September 1970 to replace the 1,600 cc engine, although it was again replaced by a 1,600 cc unit (an enhanced version of the 1,500 cc OHV engine) in February 1971. A 1,900 cc engine was made available for the hardtop in March 1971, and the 1,900 cc hardtop was upgraded to 2,000 cc in August 1972, adding a choice of the electronic fuel injection-type 2000SL EFI engine and the 2000SR engine.

"Toyopet" : The Toyopet brand name was chosen in a public naming competition. The "corona" is the ring of pearly light around the sun. The name was apt for this robust and approachable family car.
