Toyota Celica History
The first generation Toyota Celica (1970-77) was introduced in 1970 in Japan as a stylish, fun to drive car. It was first exported to worldwide markets later that year. In 1972 there were minor updates to the car, including the taillights and 1975 saw changes to the bumper and grille design.
The second generation (1977-81) had two series available, Series A from 1977-79 and Series B from 1979-81 which were distinguishable by the looks. This was again available in coupe and hatchback versions.
The third generation (1981-85) saw the introduction of the convertible version and a wider choice of engines was made available. In 1984 an updated version was released with new headlights and grille designs.
The fourth generation (1985-89) saw the first front wheel drive version for the Celica and the body design was more rounded than its predecessors to meet current fashion trends.
The fifth generation (1989-93) was the roundest looking Celica ever, with designers claiming this improved strength, whilst keeping it light.
The sixth generation (1993-99) was the most powerful version of the Celica produced so far. In 1996 some design updates took place which improved the aerodynamics and new bumper design.
The seventh generation (1999-2006) was the final version of this car to be produced and was made lighter and lower cost to reach the younger generations.

engine sizes. The petrol engines have been available in: 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 and was the only fuel type available for this car. The most economical of the range is the 1.8L engine which was the only engine available in the last version. It offered up to 36 mpg which is not bad for a sports coupe.
