Remodeled in August 1988 together with its sister cars Mark II and Cresta, the fourth-generation Chaser further enhanced the sporty image. Following the latest trend, its styling featured refined surface curves, producing flowing proportions that appealed to the Japanese sense of aesthetics.

As with the third-generation model, the only available body type was a 4-door hardtop. The top-end GT Twin Turbo came with a DOHC twin-turbo engine (1G-GTE) that produced 210 PS/23.0 kgm. All available engines for the Chaser adopted a DOHC layout, and the lineup included two 1G-G engines (supercharged and sports twin-cam), as well as two "high-mecha" twin-cam engines (1G-FE and 4S-Fi). The models with a 6-cylinder engine came with a 4-wheel independent suspension system with a MacPherson strut arrangement for the front and a double wishbone design for the rear. In August 1990, newly developed 2.5-liter inline 6-cylinder engines (1JZ-GE, 1JZ-GTE) replaced the 2-liter units, becoming the principal powerhouses for the Chaser. The twin-turbo 1JZ-GTE producing 280 PS was the most powerful unit among all engines for the three sister cars.
