"Celica" is Spanish for "celestial" or "heavenly.""XX" is derived from "unknown quantity."
The Celica XX's engine lineup initially consisted of 2-liter 1G-EU and 2.8-liter 5M-GEU units. This was substantially enhanced in the summer of 1983, when the 5M-GEU engine was powered up and two new engines were added, including an SOHC turbocharged M-TEU unit and a DOHC 4-valve 1G-GEU unit. Notable equipment that was available on selected model grades included a digital instrument panel and the Navicom, the first car navigation system in the world. The latter was a microchip-based device that calculated the direction and distance to a desired destination and displayed the information in real time. It was a forerunner of today's car navigation system.
The Celica XX was discontinued at the end of the second generation. An equivalent of the third-generation model was produced, but it did not use the Celica as the base model, and was marketed as the Supra in Japan and overseas.
