1986 Toyota Tercel

In 1986 Toyota introduced the slightly larger third generation Tercel with a new 12 valve engine, and a turbodiesel version with the 1.5 liter 1N-T engine. The third generation arrived in North America in late 1986, and Hino assembled the two door and some three door models from 1986 to 1990. This was the first model year of the Toyota Tercel (third generation, L30), 1986 to 1989, which took over from the Toyota Tercel (second generation, L20); the 1987 model year follows it. Model year pages for the Toyota Tercel run from 1978 to 1999.
