1991-1995 Toyota MR2: Year-to-Year Changes

1992 Toyota MR2 Spyder: Following a full redesign for 1991, the new MR2 was virtually unchanged in its second season.

1993 Toyota MR2 Spyder: An updated MR2 debuted in March 1992, as an early '93 model. Suspension revisions were intended to reduce rear-end breakaway in hard cornering. Changes included reduced ride height, higher-rate springs and shock absorbers, stiffer bushings, and longer rear toe-control arms. Tires grew wider and bigger in diameter (now 15-inch). Alloy wheels got a fresh design, and the base engine grew from 130 to 135 horsepower. Both models gained a larger front air intake. All Turbo coupes now had the previously optional T-bar roof. Turbo coupes gained an 8-speaker audio system as well as standard air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and power door locks.

1994 Toyota MR2 Spyder: A passenger-side airbag joined the driver's airbag for 1994. Both MR2 models got revised taillamps and minor tweaks to the suspension components and shock absorbers. The base model added standard air conditioning and a newly designed one-piece rear spoiler. Previously, spoilers were reserved for Turbos. Air conditioning switched to non-CFC refrigerant.

1995 Toyota MR2 Spyder: Toyota's midengine coupe entered its final season without change, except that the base model with T-bar roof gained a Power Package (power windows and door locks) as standard equipment. Steadily escalating prices and high insurance premiums had contributed to serious declining MR2 sales. Several years later, as the new century began, Toyota would revive the MR2 name for its new midengine Spyder convertible.
