The car employed the front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The initial engine lineup consisted of a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder OHV unit (12T) and a 1.8-liter unit (13T), which was joined in August 1981 by a 1.8-liter electronically controlled fuel injection (EFI) unit (3T-EU), a 2-liter 4-cylinder SOHC unit (21R-U), and a 4-cylinder DOHC unit producing 135 PS/17.5 kgm (18R-GEU) dedicated to the high-performance 2000GT model. The standard suspension was a strut and rigid axle 4-link system, while the 2000GT used a 4-wheel independent suspension with a semi-trailing arm arrangement for the rear.
The Celica Camry name went out of use after this model generation.
