Toyota Corolla E90 6. generace

Přehled

The Corolla E90 was the sixth generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate, introduced in 1987 for the 1988 model year . It was the last generation of Corolla to be classified as a subcompact car and the first to be exclusively front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive ; the performance option of rear-wheel drive was dropped.

For general export, the trim levels were Base, XL, GL, SE, and SE Limited. The FX-GT (only available in Japan) and GT-i (export version of the FX-GT, known as the SX Seca and/or Hatch in Australia) was a high-performance model powered by the 4A-GE engine; it was offered with hatchback and also five-door liftback bodywork in some markets. The North American GT-S coupé shared the same engine. The all-wheel drive Sprinter Carib wagon used a beam axle rear suspension with coil springs, while the rest used struts all around. In South Africa, the E90 was manufactured and marketed by Toyota under the Carri , Conquest , and Tazz model names. In a pair of similar joint ventures with General Motors , E90 variants with minor cosmetic changes were locally manufactured and sold as the Geo Prizm and Holden Nova in the United States and Australia respectively.

The majority of the Corolla range was replaced in June 1991 for the Japanese market, but production for export markets continued into 1992, and Australian Holden production extended until mid 1994. The all-wheel drive wagon was sold from 1988 to 1994 and had different bodywork to other Corollas; it replaced the Tercel 4WD Wagon/Sprinter Carib in Toyota's lineup. It retained the Sprinter Carib name in Japan, but was marketed as the Corolla Touring in Europe and some other countries, and as the Corolla All-Trac in the United States.

The 1.3-litre sedan has a four-speed manual transmission (later all 1.3-litre engines had five-speeds) or a three-speed automatic transmission . The Full-Time All-Trac 4WD sedan is powered by the 1.6-litre 4A-F and first went on sale in October 1987. The manual transmission version has a manually locking centre differential , whereas the automatic versions have a hydraulically operated limited slip unit ("Hymatic"). The 1456 cc 3E engine was only fitted to the Japanese market Van (wagon) commercial version. The only sedan with the high output 1.5-litre 5A-FHE engine was the SE-Limited G; the FX (hatchback) received this engine in the FX-VS and FX-ZS models.
