Toyota Corolla E90
Encyclopedia
The Corolla E90 was the sixth generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla
nameplate.
The performance option of rear-wheel drive was dropped after 1986, with all Corollas front-wheel drive
from 1987, with production beginning in May 1987. For general export, the trim levels are Base, XL, GL, SE, and SE Limited. The GT-i was sold in limited numbers in certain countries. The all wheel drive Sprinter Carib wagon used a solid axle rear suspension with coil springs, while the rest used struts all around. The 4WD wagon was sold from 1988 to 1994 and had different bodywork to other Corollas. It was called the All-Trac
in the US and sold with the Tercel or Corolla name in some countries. In general, all models depart from the previous generation's boxy styling, for a more contemporary look and improved aerodynamics.
The Sprinter five-door liftback was called Cielo in Japan
, and re-badged as the Corolla in Europe, though for a period in Ireland (and possibly elsewhere) it was badged the "Sprinter GLS", unusually in cheap-looking decals instead of the metallic-coated plastic badges found on all other Toyotas of the time.
High performance GT-i models are powered by 4A-GE, and offered as 3-door hatchback
, sedan, and 5-door liftback. The North American GT-S coupé shared the same engine.

sedan is powered by 1.6 liter 4A-FE.
The Sprinter sedan has opera window on the C-Pillar

The AE92 Levin and Trueno were also fitted with a supercharged engine. It used an SC12 roots type supercharger and a top mounted intercooler that was fed cool air via a scoop on the bonnet. They generated 206 newton metre at 4,400 rpm as opposed to the naturally aspirated 4A-GE's 136 newton metre at 4,800 rpm.

The European model Corolla 4-door sedan, 3 and 5-door hatchback, and the wagon basically has the front end of the Japan-spec Corolla FX, except for the all white clearance lights and the "TOYOTA" or the ellipse emblem instead of the "FX" or "GT" of the Japanese model. It has the standard side marker lights and the tail light with the integrated rear fog lamp (except for the wagon, which has the rear fog lamp on the tailgate.) It also has headlight washers on the XL and the XLi models.
From late 1989 the 4A-GE engine in the GT-i model was changed from the T-VIS equipped 'big port' variant to the non-T-VIS 'small port' version. For UK specification cars, this increased power from 124 bhp to 129 bhp.
and Cambridge, Ontario
, Canada. These two plants made 279,000 units, making a total of 4.5 million of this generation (AE92) made.
The North American models depart from the previous generation's boxy styling, for a more contemporary look and improved aerodynamics. They feature longer bumpers and small red conspicuity lights on the rear quarter panels. Cabin air exits through stylish vents behind the rear side windows.
A 25th anniversary special edition was produced in 1990, made to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Corolla line. It included 25th anniversary emblems on the front fender, embroidered on front seat and a 3-spoke steering wheel.
Minor changes for 1991 model years were Toyota (T) ellipse emblem on the grille, all-red tail lights, door-mounted and manual lap front seat belts, and new wheelcovers for DX. Rear garnish was deleted for the Base model.
The North American Corolla coupé with retractable headlights was basically a Sprinter Trueno with different front corner lights and longer bumpers. Trim levels are SR5 and GT-S. The GT-S is powered by 4A-GE engine, and comes with full body kits. In 1990 the 4A-GE received a revised cylinder head and intake manifold. The new motor featured higher compression, lack of the TVIS system, and smaller ports in the intake manifold and is thus commonly referred to as the "smallport" version. Horsepower jumped from 115 hp (86 kW) to 135 hp (100 kW).
The four-wheel drive
All-trac
wagon in Base and SR5 trim levels were sold from 1988 to 1992 and had different bodywork to other Corollas. The Corolla All-trac sedan was sold in very small numbers, shared the same body as the AE92 sedan, with the only visible difference being the tire size.
The Geo Prizm
shared a slightly different body with the Japan-market Sprinter sedan and Cielo liftback. These models were slightly more basic than their European/Japanese versions. The GSi version was equipped with the 4A-GE.

Pakistan
The 6th generation of Corolla was imported from Japan and was available in only 4 trims, with 1.3 and 1.5 liter petrol engines and 1.5 and 1.8 liter diesel engines. Only the four door sedan was imported: The 2-door coupe, 5-door wagon and the hatchback were not available in the showrooms. Because of the rising prices of gasoline, the 1.8 liter diesel version became an immediate success. The 2.0 liter diesel engine was not available until 1993 when the 7th generation was introduced, and it was the same time when Toyota started making cars in Pakistan. Even after the introduction of the 7th generation of Corolla, reconditioned 6th generation models were imported from the Middle East.South Africa
In an effort to boost performance of the 4A-GE engine, Toyota South Africa made some modifications to the engine (inlet and exhaust) to lift power from 87 kW to 96 kW for all production models.A facelifted version of the sixth-generation five-door hatchback was made in South Africa
