Toyota Corona for Sale in Philippines

New and Used Toyota Corona for Sale Philippines

The Toyota Corona is a sports sedan in every sense of the word. Manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation from 1957 to 2002, the Corona was one of Toyota’s first international exports, providing buyers with a larger car choice but with practically the same operating costs as the smaller, more frugal Toyota Corolla.

In the hierarchy of Toyota sedans, the Corona started out as second in rank, right below the Crown. However, in 1968, the Corona overtook the Crown when it started using an all-new larger platform that gave buyers a larger cabin space with the same dependable and affordable performance. The Corona was an immediate success in many export markets, receiving a number of different names worldwide. In Europe, it was known as the Carina. In the U.S., it was initially known as Corona, but became the Tiara when the former was largely ignored on its first year of release. When the Toyota Corona ceased production, it was replaced by the Toyota Camry XV20.

During its successful run, the Toyota Corona was widely known for providing great value for money. It was always great-looking and well-furnished, with a quiet overhead-cam engine and a reliable 4-speed gearbox. Add plush carpeting, tinted glass, and vacuum-assisted front disc brakes and you’ve got a car that fulfills a car owner’s every need. Of course, features alone don’t make the car, it’s the on-road performance and the benefit of ownership that do, and the Toyota Corona succeeds in these areas as well.

Toyota Corona Specs and Performance

The last produced batch of the Toyota Corona uses a 2.0-liter 16V D-4 gasoline engine that can produce 145 horsepower and 177 Nm of torque. The Toyota Corona engine allows the car to accelerate from 0-100 kilometers per hour (kph) in 9 seconds and has a top speed of more than 170 kph.

Early Toyota Coronas featured a suspension system composed of coil springs with a torsion bar stabilizer at the front and semi-elliptical leaf springs at the rear.  Later models employed a MacPherson strut independent front suspension at the front and a four-link trailing arm rear suspension arrangement with a Panhard rod. Thanks to the update, the last batch of the Corona performed very favorably under city driving conditions, taking curves and corners with an almost invisible body lean. On the highway, when hit by an extreme crosswind, the Corona doesn’t weave from side to side like some of its counterparts.

Toyota Corona Design

Toyota Corona Interior

Inside, the Corona’s advantage in size is obvious—there’s no wiggling or wriggling necessary to get in and out of the vehicle. All four doors are well-padded and open in a wide 70-degree angle to allow easy entry. That said, the Corona was never meant to spark any vehicle revolutions, be a beast on the road, or be representative of status symbols. Total efficiency with a stern focus on economy—that’s the name of the game for the Corona.

• Power windows
• Power automatic door locks
• Air conditioning with air filtration
• Multi-adjustable bucket front seats
• Driver’s seat cushion vertical height adjuster
• Fold-down rear center armrest

Toyota Corona Exterior

The Corona has four headlights. Also, the 2-speed electric windshield wipers were made larger than normal to clear an impressive 80 percent of the total windshield area. Combine these two features and you get a car that provides better vision in the dark and under heavy rain. The rest of the exterior is conservatively styled, with subtle yet striking design lines on the hood and side panels. During its heyday, the Corona look was so new, people who laid their eyes on it for the first time often ask what kind of car it was.

• Power outside mirrors
• Protective body side moldings
• Variable intermittent windshield wipers
• High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass
• Aerodynamic halogen headlamps
• Daytime Running Lights
