The "corona" is the ring of pearly light around the sun. The name was apt for this robust and approachable family car.
The newly designed platform featured a MacPherson strut and coil spring independent front suspension instead of the previous double wishbone system, and the rigid axle rear suspension employed a 4-link and Panhard rod/coil spring system rather than a leaf spring system. All models came with front disc brakes, and high-grade models employed 4-wheel disc brakes. Power steering was available as an option.
The initial body variations included a 4-door sedan, a 2-door hardtop, and a 5-door van. In October 1978, the Corona liftback returned to the lineup after an interval of ten years. Its gently sloping rear with a wide-opening hatch gate was appealing to some users whose hobbies required use of large equipment, although that did not result in a huge success.
