In 1979, in order to diversify its lineup, Toyota introduced a new four-door sedan, the Celica Camry, based on the Celica coupe. Conveyor production of the car lasted only until 1982, after which it was decided to modernize it and "delete" one of the parts from the name - that's how Toyota Camry appeared. However, during its short life cycle, the car has managed to break out in quantities of more than 100,000 copies.
The Toyota Celica Camry was positioned by the Japanese manufacturer as a luxury sports sedan, which had an advanced exterior design for its time and a good set of options in the arsenal.
Body dimensions of the car are as follows: length is 4445 mm, of which 2500 mm is the wheelbase, width is 1645 mm, and the height is limited to 1425 mm. In the curb weight of the four-door weights 1010 kilograms.
Specifications
Under the hood of the Toyota Celica Camry involved only gasoline engines. The least powerful was the 1.6 liter engine with 88 horsepower and 128 Nm of torque, followed by a 1.8 liter engine with 95 horsepower and 147 Nm of torque. There were also injection engines of 1.8 and 2.0 liter capacity, each developing 105 horsepower, and by the end of the life cycle the car received a sport variant equipped with a 135 horsepower two-liter engine.
The Celica Camry sedan was based on the Toyota Celica coupe with a front-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive layout. The Japanese three-wheeler was equipped with a McPherson strut independent front suspension and a semi-independent rear suspension scheme with trailing arms and an elastic beam. Other design features were disc brakes on all wheels and power steering.
Among the merits of the car can be distinguished fairly tractive engines, roomy interior and good for such years of equipment. Among the disadvantages - venerable age and shortage of spare parts due to low prevalence.
