1989 Toyota Corolia 4WD Wagon and Sedan

Toyota adds 4WD sedan to its 1989 car lineup

ADDED SAFETY FOR

ALL DRIVING

CONDITIONS

TOYOTA’S FOUR-WHEEL drive (4WD) Corolla Wagon will be joined by a new hi-tech mate for 1989, a full-time,

4WD Corolla Sedan.

“The added benefit of full-time, four-wheel drive gives year-round safety, regardless of driving condi-

tions,’’ reports Toyota Canada senior vice president Hector Dupuis.

“Introduced in April of 1988, this special feature is now available in wagon and sedan bodystyles of Toyota’s largest seller world- wide."’

TWIN CAM FEATURED

Like its front-wheel drive (FWD) Corolla siblings, the full-time 4WD Corollas feature a 1.6 litre twin cam/16-valve four-cylinder engine. However, the fuel injected, 4WD machines are rated at 100 horse- power, ten more than the carbure- tor-equipped, FWD Corolla models.

The high performance, fuel- injected Corolla GT-S Coupe is

rated at 115 horsepower.

The 4WD Corolla Sedan is vir- tually identical in appearance to the FWD Corolla Sedan. The most notable difference is the 4WD emblem.

Mechanical differences include full-size spare tire, front and rear stabilizer bars, four-link rear suspension, oil pan protector plate, mechanical centre differentia! lock and 165SR13 all-season tires com- pared to P15580R13 on the FWD sedan.

POWER REDISTRIBUTED

In the event that one wheel spins due to loss of traction, the driver- actuated centre differential lock will re-distribute power to the front or rear wheels which are not spinning.

COROLLA OFFERS front-wheel drive performance with a 1.6 litre, 90 horsepower four-cylinder engine in sedan and wagon body stytes. Attrac- tive styling and five-passenger comfort are Corolla’s strong suit.

and 4WD Sedan is the wagon’s characteristic raised roof which gives added head room. This raised roof also provides a large glass area for improved visibility. The 4WD Wagon also features a stylish roof-mounted rear spoiler.

Both full-time 4WD Corolla models, sedan and wagon, are available with either five-speed manual overdrive or four-speed automatic overdrive transmission. In addition, an SR5 grade wagon is available with five-speed manual overdrive transmission only.

POWER STEERING STANDARD

Power steering is standard equipment on cars fitted with automatic transmission, LE and SRS5 4WD Wagon.

“Full-time, four-wheel drive is the wave of the future, here to- day,”” says Dupuis. ‘‘Until recent- ly, this important feature was reserved for expensive, luxury GT machines only. Now it is on Cor- olla, a car built for the masses by Toyota.”” .

Corolia 4WD Sedan prices start at $14,678, while 4WD Wagon Prices start at $16,223.
