Design Continuity with the L200

Although the L500 introduced subtle styling tweaks, it retained a look similar to its predecessor, the L200, and was still built on the same chassis as the third‑generation model. This continuity helped preserve the familiar driving character of the Cuore series.

Engine Options and Extended Production Run

The L500 offered engine displacements ranging from 659 cm³ to 847 cm³, including the 847‑cc carburetted ED‑10 engine used in export markets. Production continued beyond the initial years, with Toyota Indus Motor Company manufacturing the L500 from March 2000 until 2012.
