The "corona" is the ring of pearly light around the sun. The name was apt for this robust and approachable family car.
The transversely-mounted front engine was initially confined to a 1,832 cc 100 PS inline 4-cylinder SOHC unit (1S-LU), although the lineup ballooned in October 1983 to include three other gasoline engines; namely, a 1,832 cc 105 PS SOHC unit (1S-iLU), an EFI-D version of the same producing 115 PS (1S-ELU), and a 1,452 cc 83 PS unit (3A-LU). In August 1985, FF coupé and 4-door GT models were also introduced. The FF coupé was a notchback based on the simultaneously announced FF Celica (the fourth-generation model that shared the platform with the FF Corona). The FF coupé succeeded and replaced the Corona FR hardtop.
