With such an engine capacity of 1587 cubic meters, a decent number of horses under the hood is guaranteed, although the consumption will not be very high.

A drive that requires special driving skills and getting used to in the case of driving with a different type of drive. For such a low price, cars are considered budget

since you just get a car to drive and nothing more, but in some cases this is the only purpose without any beauty. You don't need more to get around the city. Perhaps the slogan for such a vehicle is not “The miser pays twice.”

Toyota Corona Premio

- production began in 1996. The combination of style and technology Corona Premio, created by Toyota, has proven itself in the market and is time-tested.
Among the existing basic colors of Corona Premio, you can easily find one that suits you, but most likely you can choose it to order. We most likely do not have all the configurations of this Toyota Corona Premio model, among which there are various options for assembling the Corona Premio: the gearbox can be automatic or manual, the interior is trimmed with leather or wood inserts, wheels and other additional elements of the Corona Premio body, which are certainly will be reflected in the price of Corona Premio. The technical characteristics are good, but do not forget about the safety of the Corona Premio or the engine size, which will then make itself felt in terms of operating costs in the future, as well as repairs of the Corona Premio and maintenance with a warranty period. Since the purchase is made not for several months, but for several years, so consider for yourself what you will do in the summer and winter, what trips to make on Corona Premio
.
The table below shows a comparison of several configurations of the Corona Premio, among the parameters are reflected: what are the overall dimensions of the Corona Premio, what is the fuel consumption in the city, highway or mixed, engine size, maximum speed and acceleration time to 100 km/h, curb or gross weight Corona Premio, wheelbase, front and rear wheel tracks, transmission type (gearbox/gearbox), what drive, tire size, what power or torque and what price. In addition to all the numbers, you can read reviews of car owners about Corona Premio, watch videos or news, tests (test drive, crash test).

History of creation and production

The release of the Corona modification called Premio began in 1996. When designing Premio, the corporation's managers and designers set themselves the main task of expanding the clientele. This method seems dubious to many. Dozens of models and modifications of Toyota cars can easily confuse even a professional. What can we say about ordinary buyers, whose eyes dazzle from the number of different cars.

However, Toyota bosses stubbornly do not abandon the principle of rapid turnover adopted many decades ago. Three to four years is the maximum production period for models of one generation. But the Premio incident forced the Japanese to put the brakes on the brakes. The level of sales and the result of the car's restyling, carried out less than a year after the first copy rolled off the production line, forced the project to be abandoned in 2001.

Subsequently, the platform of this mid-size sedan became the basis for the creation of the new popular Toyota Avensis car.

Quite quickly (1998) the first generation models were restyled. It mainly concerned updating the engine line. Powerful diesel engines 2C-T and 3C-TE first rolled off the assembly line back in the mid-eighties. By the early 2000s, simple and reliable units with turbochargers were hopelessly outdated and required replacement. The solution was very simple - not to design new units for a “short” modification, but to supply reliable modern internal combustion engines - 4A-FE, 7A-FE, 3S-FE and 3S-FSE.

The Premio equipment was purely Japanese and was distinguished by its great breadth. There were different transmission options:

• front-wheel drive, with four-speed automatic transmission;
• Front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with a five-speed manual transmission.

Restyled models were equipped only with a four-speed automatic transmission.

Of course, all models were produced only in Japan, with right-hand drive. To ensure normal control, the standard equipment of the car included:

• ABS;
• seat belts with tension limiter system “pretensioner & force limiter”;
• dual airbags.

Like all sedans, the Crown Premium, in addition to a spacious and comfortable interior, had a large luggage compartment.

Ultimately, even the authors of the model became clear that a large number of words in the name of the car only confuses customers. The bosses of the corporation did not release the second generation of this model. In 2001, by removing the word Corona, they separated the Toyota Premio into a separate right-hand drive model, with its own history, design, market and buyers in the Far East.

Review of Toyota Premio AT211 (1996)

After the sale of the Honda Civic EK-3, we were counting on the German... it didn’t work out with him, his wallet went limp. The money for the car was 100 thousand rubles, on the advice I took 21101 2003, I drove for a month or two - it was AD, without registering it, I overturned it for what I took it for. I understand - even if it’s chewed up, with shortcomings, BUT it’s a foreign car!!!, and not a Russian trough in any condition. A long search began on the Internet and newspapers, I almost gave up (I had a feeling that the resellers were telepaths, they were ahead by some hour or two), time passed... and then luck - crown premium ’96, 7A-FE, automatic, needs improvements , engine capital six months ago. Call, guy - the seller has left for the neighboring region, will be in a couple of weeks... great, the outbids will cool down and I'll break everything in for now. There were no photos in the ad, I walked around and thought what was waiting for me there. Call the mechanic, 7A engine - take it!!! You won’t drive him around, he’s as reliable as an axe!!!

The day came when the owner returned to the city - he called and said he would arrive in 20 minutes for a showing. I’m walking and thinking myself, because since childhood I liked its shape, even if it had different wheels, I’ll take it!!! I approach, at first glance, not everything is so bad, everything seems to be repairable, the left ear is missing, everything around is crushed, scratched, worst of all is the trunk lid, the left front fender and the door... took a ride, oil is dripping (according to the owner, the pan gasket is leaking), slow down it only starts from the second pumping (according to the owner, the problem is in the main brake), the box kicks (thank God, not too much), the charging and catalyst overheat indicator lights up (according to the on-board indicator, charging is 12.8-13.7V), the final price tag is 87 thousand. R. - I don’t think I’ll TAKE IT!!!

Due to the virtual absence of brakes, I didn’t accelerate much, but immediately after the Honda I noticed that the moment of thoughtfulness was too long, I bought all the pads, it turned out that the front ones were worn out by 90% + the guides had soured in one position, that’s why the brakes were like that, and the guides were ordered with repair kits. Disassembly, repair, assembly, bleeding - there are brakes. The required leak from the pan was not found, but the oil thread was used to find the oil pressure sensor, from which the oil was leaking, a new one was ordered, replaced, one less problem. The exhausted catalyst was removed - the car began to breathe, and it even seemed to work smoother.

Next is the ride. Like 1.8, like 115 hp, but it feels like I’m driving a Daewoo Matiz with 0.8 liters and the A/C on... with a consumption of 9-13 liters per hundred... where??? Why is this button on the ECT PWR gear selector - only the light of the same name lights up and ECON goes out - that's it!!! The car didn’t drive and still doesn’t drive. The handling is weak - the car is clumsy, while on the Honda I could take almost any turn fearlessly, on this one the front refuses to obey even on the smooth turns of the viaduct, it tries to go straight! The overall impression was spoiled, it doesn’t drive, it doesn’t listen... there’s a rumble and howl in the front suspension, a tin - it seemed all in vain and I didn’t need anything + on top of everything there were financial problems, it seemed that I couldn’t handle it, I put it up for sale, several calls , but it’s somehow restless, I’ll sell it, but what should I take? I’m going there again, but only a more modest one... I left it, allocated money, ordered a left front fender from Vladik and a mirror (4,700 rubles for everything)...

My wife has a DR. I went to get some cake... the woman, without seeing me, flies out of the yards and hits the left front fender without ceremony and doesn’t care that the fender with ST215 didn’t even last two days - I feel like a loser and a mystic (at work the welder also told me, wait until spring, then you change/fix the whole tin at once, until spring, they say, everything will be “ruined” anyway, but in -18 I changed the fender myself at a construction site) ... I came to the insurance company, the agent shouts to me - the car is 80% worn out, practically nothing for you they won’t pay, but I think I’ll sue them for downtime and shortcomings. I ordered, without seeing the payment yet, a repeater and a wing, almost the entire front suspension, by spring it will be all new and I will forge the body and sell it for 150 rubles, because... not my car, because it’s pure cotton wool... in short, it doesn’t taste or match the color of a felt-tip pen...

Equipment

A “robot” with a 4-speed transmission is responsible for shifting gears in a Toyota Corona Premium car with a D-4 engine. However, for later versions (1997-2001), running on newer units, a 5-speed manual is also offered as an option. All variants of this model operate on front-wheel drive; the front and rear suspension are supported by shock absorber struts (on coil springs). The braking system is very well thought out. The manufacturer's careful approach is felt in this matter. At the front, the Toyota Crown Premium is equipped with ventilated disc brakes, and at the rear, drum brakes operate the system. It is this concept that allows the braking to be distributed correctly, which is an indisputable advantage. It is also worth paying attention to the large volume of the fuel tank (60 l), which is not inherent in all modern cars.

Reviews

According to experts, Toyota Corona Premio feels perfect on the roads. A trip around the city or on the highway is accompanied by positive dynamics and the absence of extraneous noise from the operation of both individual aggregate units and their interaction in conjunction. If we talk about control in general, the Japanese have worked on the steering part quite well; shifting gears on a manual transmission has become even more pleasant, and most of the shortcomings in the automatic transmission inherent in its predecessors have also been eliminated.

Despite the long production period (the last modification was released in 2001) and long-term operation, today you can still find a Toyota Crown Premium car in good and stable condition, since strict quality control is an integral property of Japanese engineering.

The most popular engine for Corona Premio cars

It looks strange, but car configurations were in great demand, the basis of the power plant of which were diesel turbo engines 2C-T and 3C-TE. It’s worth talking about them in a little more detail. C-series engines with OHC fuel injection began rolling off the assembly line of Toyota's engine division in 1984.

Turbodiesel 2C-T

Designed specifically for installation on heavy sedan and minibus vehicles, the 2C-T featured low diesel consumption. Its excellent torque quickly made it popular in Japan. Once in Russia, the unit showed that it very calmly tolerates the poor quality of domestic diesel fuel. Since it almost completely lacks electronic control units for various systems, the repair process is simple both from a technical and financial point of view.

The cooling system can be considered the problem area of ​​the engine. It does not work well at maximum loads, and cases of air locks are common. Overheating leads to the formation of cracks in the cylinder block. This is one of the main “cons” of an overall reliable unit. To avoid problems, it was necessary to operate the engine at speeds not exceeding 3000 units.

The second copy of the C series is the 3C-TE diesel. It had significantly improved dynamics compared to 2C-T. In order for the turbine to operate without failures, the designers introduced two innovations:

• electronic control of the throttle valve adjustment process;
• starting aid system.

Turbo Monster 3C-TE

The 3C-TE engine has a strange reputation. Powerful, reliable, simple. But it has one feature, when the operation of the machine turns into torture. A broken timing belt leads to catastrophic consequences:

• valve bending;
• camshaft failure;
• the occurrence of cracks in the housings of the guide bushings.

To avoid inconvenience, it was necessary to carefully observe the timing of replacement of belt drives and carry out preventive inspections.

In addition, users repeatedly operate the unit. It copes poorly with environmental standards; in Russian, it “smoke.” The oil pump is not highly reliable. Replacing the fuel injection pump with an electronically controlled one led to a slight reduction in diesel fuel consumption and a decrease in exhaust toxicity.

The motor began to operate incomparably quieter and smoother than its predecessor.

What is the disadvantage of the model?

Perhaps one of the main disadvantages of this car is the fact that cars of this model are produced only on the basis of right-hand drive, since when developing the updated Corona, the manufacturer relied mainly on the domestic market, as well as on buyers from the UK. However, if the driver wants to drive a purebred “Japanese”, then this arrangement is easy to get used to.

Technical equipment

The body has been almost completely updated, it has become more youthful, stylish for its time, and a powerful engine is placed under the hood. “Toyota Corona Premium” will delight the owner with a thrust of 145 hp. s (at 6000 rpm - max.) and working volume - 2000 cubic meters. see. This unit runs only on 92 or 95 octane gasoline. Fuel is supplied using the D-4 direct injection system (the injector is responsible for fuel injection). The arrangement of the cylinders is made in the L4 standard, the position of the valves and camshaft is overhead valve with two camshafts. Later, the sedan received 3 more new types of gasoline engines, as well as a diesel engine.
