When was the last generation of Toyota Tercel made?
The Toyota Diesel sales network, which had handled some Tercel sales earlier, was shut down in the 1980s. As only the first two generations were sold officially in Europe, this was the last generation of the Tercel series available there, with either the hatchback or station wagon bodywork.
What’s the final drive ratio of a Toyota Tercel?
The EL gear generates a 17.6:1 final drive ratio, giving the driver the torque needed to extract the vehicle from conditions which otherwise may have trapped it. It is only available when in four-wheel drive, and because of its low gear-ratio it is suitable only for very low-speed use.
Are there any Airbags in the Toyota Tercel?
The Tercel now offered standard driver’s and passenger’s side airbags in the United States, but only a driver’s side bag for Canada. Three-point seatbelts for front and outboard rear passengers and adjustable shoulder-belt anchor points for front seat passengers were installed on four-door models.
Is the Corolla E80 similar to the Toyota Tercel?
For example, the Toyota Corolla E80’s frame is similar to the AL20 Tercel’s frame. Also, Toyota designed a new A engine for the Tercel, attempting simultaneously to achieve good fuel economy and performance and low emissions.
What’s the third power option on a Toyota Tercel?
The third power option (which was only available on the six-speed manual) is low range. This is not the same as the low-range power option found in a truck or conventional SUV, as the Tercel lacks a high-range-low-range transfer case. When the lever is placed in four-wheel-drive mode it becomes possible to down shift the vehicle from first to EL.
