Toyota Allion

The Toyota Allion and its twin the Toyota Premio are compact sedans that Toyota sold in Japan from 2001 to 2021. Japanese dimension rules class them as compact cars, and their exterior size did not change with periodic updates. Unlike most Toyotas they were never exported and were sold only in Japan. The Premio is the successor of the Corona and takes the more elegant approach, while the Allion puts its emphasis on younger buyers. The first generation was launched on 25 December 2001, the Premio had a restyle with LED tail lights on 20 December 2004, and the second generation came on 4 June 2007. The 2.0 litre engine option was dropped in July 2020, and the E210 Corolla introduced in Japan in 2018 succeeds both cars in size and price.
