Toyota Corona EXiV

The Toyota Corona EXiV is an automobile made by Toyota Motor Corporation. Released in September 1989, it was the luxury hardtop version of the Corona, introduced to match its twin the Carina ED, and the letters EXiV come from the words Extra Impressive. It was sold only in Japan, exclusively at the Toyopet Store dealerships that also sold the Corona. It was a clone of the Carina ED and shared the same Toyota T platform. The EXiV was first released on 6 September 1989 and filled the growing popularity of the hardtop body style left by the departing Corona Coupe. It was sold along the refreshed Mark II, and it was available only with four-cylinder engines.
