Premio is Spanish for "prize," "reward," or "premium."
The Premio's wheelbase was the longest in class at 2,700 mm, or 120 mm longer than that of the preceding Corona Premio. The body was also 60 mm taller, making the cabin as spacious as that of a larger car. The platform was configured in either a front-engine, front-wheel-drive or a V-flex 4-wheel-drive (4WD) layout (the latter was available only with the 1.8-liter model). The engine lineup included 1.5-liter 109 PS (1NZ-FE), 1.8-liter 132 PS (125 PS with the 4WD model) (1ZZ-FE), and 2-liter direct injection D-4 152 PS units. The transmission was either a Super CVT-i or a Super ECT. The reclining and split-folding rear seatbacks, combined with split-tumble rear seat cushions, gave a wide opening to the cargo room, with the trunk floor extending up to 1,700 mm. This flexibility in seat arrangements gave the Premio its hatchback-like utility.
