Toyota Tercel (L50). 1994–9 (prod. n/a). 2-, 3- and 4-door sedan. F/F, F/A, 1295 cm³ petrol, 1453 cm³ diesel (I4 OHC), 1331, 1497 cm³ (I4 DOHC). Last Tercel, with improved equipment and safety, and usual Toyota virtues of quality and reliability. Mostly carryover under the skin, but with cost-cutting—this was Toyota’s response after the economic bubble had burst. Very dull—the rounded styling of the L40 gave way to something far more conservative. Mid-term changes 1997.
