Vehicle Highlights
Curvaceously restyled for 1990, Toyota's sports coupe rode the same front-drive wheelbase as the prior Celica generation. A 2-door coupe and 2-door hatchback went on sale. Two new engines debuted, and a driver-side airbag went into all Celicas. The base engine was a twin-cam 1.6-liter 4 cylinder. The Celica GT and GT-S carried a new 130-horsepower, 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Most Celica models were front-wheel drive, with either 5-speed manual shift or a 4-speed automatic. The All-Trac (permanently engaged 4-wheel-drive) edition employed a 200-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and came only with manual shift.
