Front‑Wheel Drive Introduction
When the T150 series arrived in early 1983, it brought front‑wheel drive to the Carina family for the first time. This drivetrain change was introduced alongside its rebadging as the Toyota Corona.
Placement Within the Carina Generations
The T150 appeared just before the fourth‑generation Carina, which was launched in May 1984. The 1984 fourth‑generation sedan shared its platform with the eighth‑generation Corona, the very model that the T150 had originally been based on.
Factory Specification Highlights (1984)
A 1984 Toyota Carina equipped with the T150 platform featured a 1500 cc carbureted engine, a K50 gearbox, and a 5.5‑inch rear differential, all paired with drum brakes. These components represent the original factory setup for that model year.
