Toyota Corolla Levin engines

Toyota Corolla Levin is a civilian sports coupe. The model was three-door and very powerful. Undoubtedly, she had a daring disposition, but was mass-produced, but her owners always tried to demonstrate her capabilities to others. Family men did not buy such a car, young and hot singles bought such a car.

It was the impracticality of this car that did not allow him to disperse very widely around the world. The history of the Toyota Corolla Levin begins with the third generation, since before that it was a completely different car, which was later removed and replaced with the third generation Levin. In some countries, the Toyota Corolla Levin is known as the Toyota Sprinter Trueno.

Third generation Toyota Corolla Levin

Toyota Corolla Levin dates back to 1979. It is worth saying that even today the appearance of this car can be called interesting, but at that time it was something. There were very few such sports three-door coupes in the world. The Japanese manufacturer made the history of sports cars of that time.

That car had a 2T-GEU engine under the hood (1.6 liters and 115 horsepower). The car itself was very light and with this ICE had a very angry and sporty disposition. On average, this power unit consumed 9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers in the combined cycle. In addition to this model, this ICE was also installed on such Toyota cars as:

• Toyota Celica 3 generations (from 1981 to 1985);
• Toyota Carina 3 generations (from 1981 to 1988).

The engine was an in-line four-cylinder and had electronic injection.

Fourth generation Toyota Corolla Levin

It appeared in 1983. There were two body styles (classic coupe and three-door hatchback). At first, a 1,5-liter 3A-U gasoline engine (85 “horses”) was installed on that car. The latest modifications were equipped with a different engine (4A-GE), it was a 1,6 liter gasoline engine that developed 130 horsepower. These cars were rear wheel drive.

The 3A-U was very economical, consuming only about 4 liters of fuel in mixed driving. It could also be found on other machines of the manufacturer, it was installed on:

• Toyota Carina 3rd generation (1981-988);
• Toyota Corolla 4th generation (1979-1983);

Restyling of the fourth generation Toyota Corolla Levin

The release dates back to 1985. The changes affected both the coupe and the hatchback. There were no major improvements, the manufacturer only slightly brightened up the appearance and interior of the car. The same power units were installed on these cars as on the pre-styling versions. This modification of the car lasted two years and then it was discontinued, replaced by a new model of the next generation.

Fifth generation Toyota Corolla Levin

The car came out in 1987, it has become more rounded and modern, but some believe that it has lost its sportiness and personality. This coupe was equipped with several power units. The smallest motor is the 5A-F. This is a 1,5 liter, 85 horsepower four-cylinder in-line gasoline engine.

The most powerful engine for the Corolla Levin 5 is the 4A-GZE, which produces 145 “horses” with its volume of 1,6 liters, the engine is equipped with a turbine.

Such an internal combustion engine was also installed on the Toyota MR2 (1986-1989).

Release date - 1989. The changes affected mainly the appearance of the car and its equipment inside the cabin. Four motors were offered for this machine (5A-FE, 5A-FHE, 4A-GE, 4A-GZE). We considered three of them above, they moved from earlier models, but we need to say a few words about the 5A-FHE ICE, since this engine has not been seen before.

In terms of engines, the manufacturer offered almost nothing new, the cars were equipped with previously tested power units (5A-FE, 4A-GE, 4A-GZE) and one new 4A-FE.

Toyota Corolla Levin 6 restyling

The update dates back to 1993. This is more of a styling, no new engines were offered, and there were no changes in the design either. There was only an update of the appearance of the car and refinement of its interior. This is a difficult time for the entire automotive industry, so the fact that Toyota generally retained this model in those days is encouraging. The manufacturer positioned the modification as "more chiseled for sports." Of some features, it is worth highlighting the improved “Shumka”, expensive finishes and comfort. The motors remained the same as on the pre-styling version.

The new machine was introduced in 1995. She began to outwardly correspond to the times. Inside, it has also become more modern. By the way, lovers of the Corolla Levin considered it rustic, this was reflected in sales, which became lower.

The manufacturer did not change the engines, just reconfigured them a little.

For the seventh generation, Levin offered three ICEs:

• 5A-FE (1,5 l., 100 hp);
• 4A-FE (1,6 l., 115 hp);
• 4A-GE (1,6 l., 165 hp).

Toyota Corolla Levin 7: restyling

Fans of the model fell in love with this modification immediately. It seems that she was made the way everyone wanted to see her. This is a more daring and sportier-looking car, we also note the weight reduction of the car by almost 70 kg, which gave it agility. The engines remained the same as the non-updated seventh generation of the car. The car was removed from production in 2000. This was the end of the Toyota Corolla Levin story.
