The "corona" is the ring of pearly light around the sun. The name was apt for this robust and approachable family car.
The front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout was standard, although a 4-wheel-drive version was available for the 2-liter model. All gasoline engines, including 1.6-liter 105 PS, lean-burn 1.8-liter 115 PS, and 2-liter 140 PS units, were of a 4-cylinder DOHC 16-valve type. The 1.6- and 1.8-liter engines with the lean-burn system achieved more than 25% better fuel efficiency over conventional engines. An 88 PS turbo diesel unit was also available. In December 1996, a special edition fitted with a direct injection D-4 gasoline engine (3S-FSE) was introduced to selected models in celebration of Corona's 40th anniversary. In September 1997, the D-4 engine was also made available to some other models, improving the fuel efficiency by 30% over the conventional 3S-FE engine models.
The Corona was replaced by the new Premio that debuted in December 2001, putting an end to the model life that spanned over 44 years.
