Year to Year Changes
1993 Toyota Paseo:
A driver-side airbag was installed in 1993 models, as antilock braking became optional.
1994 Toyota Paseo:
Like other Toyotas, Paseo switched to CFC-free refrigerant for its optional air conditioning. Also, passenger seatbelts added automatic-locking retractors.
1995 Toyota Paseo:
Cars sold in states with California-level emissions requirements used a 93-horsepower engine, while the rating in other states remained at 100 horsepower.
1996 Toyota Paseo:
Reshaping for '96 was accompanied by installation of dual airbags. Styling changes included a smoother nose, larger rear quarter windows, and a more shapely tail. Despite this year's sleeker look, dimensions were unchanged. Interior dimensions also remained as before, but the newly designed, dashboard incorporated a passenger-side airbag. Both the driver and front passenger now had manual 3-point seatbelts. All Paseo engines now were rated at 93 horsepower.
1997 Toyota Paseo:
A convertible joined for 1997, but both body styles failed to last past the end of the model year. The convertible got a manual folding top, with a heated glass rear window.
