About this generation

This generation of the Celica model in the A60 body was introduced to the market as a reliable and high-tech solution, which gained popularity among motorists due to its characteristics.

The Celica generation in the A60 body represents an important milestone in the history of this model line's development. The company's engineers paid significant attention to the platform, which provided high body rigidity, improved handling, and an increased level of passive safety. High-strength steels were widely used in the construction, which allowed for a reduction in the overall weight of the car while maintaining strength characteristics. Aerodynamic indicators were also optimized, which had a positive effect on fuel efficiency and acoustic comfort in the cabin. The model was offered in several body types, which expanded the target audience and made it possible to satisfy various customer needs - from practicality to sporty style.

The line of powertrains included both time-tested naturally aspirated engines and new high-tech motors with improved power and environmental performance indicators. The gearboxes also underwent modernization: manual and automatic transmissions were available to buyers, which provided smooth shifting and reliable operation in various operating modes. During the life cycle of this generation, planned restylings were carried out, which affected both the exterior and the interior. Updates included modified bumpers, new optics, improved interior trim materials, and expanded lists of basic and optional equipment. Special attention was paid to active safety systems and multimedia capabilities, which were constantly being improved taking into account modern market requirements.
