Toyota Corolla (E20)

The Corolla E20 was the second generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. Launched in May 1970, it featured "coke bottle styling" and had a longer 2,335 mm (91.9 in) wheelbase. The front suspension design was improved greatly, using a swaybar, however the rear remained relatively similar. The Corolla became the second-best selling car in the world that year. Grades for sedan were Standard, Deluxe, and Hi-Deluxe. The coupé was offered in Deluxe, SL, SR, and Levin trim levels.

History
Minor changes were made in September 1971 with a new grille, turn signal lights, and tail lights, along with similar treatment to the Sprinter. A further facelift was done in August 1972. The E20 Corolla was also used as the basis for the 1974 Daihatsu Charmant. The E20 series was the first Corolla marketed in Indonesia, where it was sold between 1971 and 1975. ==Japan (1970–1978)==

Most models stopped production in July 1974 Levin production levels were around 5000 per year. In addition to a variety of other performance upgrades, the Levin has fender extensions and a quicker steering rack than other Corollas, while the Twin Cam versions lack servo brakes so as to make for a sportier feel for the driver. • 3K-D – 1.2 L (1166 cc) I4, 8-valve OHV, carb, • T-D – 1.4 L (1407 cc) I4, 8-valve OHV, carb, • 2T-G – 1.6 L (1588 cc) I4, 8-valve DOHC, twin carb, JPN-market chassis: • 3K-H – 1.2 L (1,166 cc) I4, 8-valve OHV, carb, (DIN) - desmogged version, introduced in fall of 1974 ==North America (1970–1974)==

In the United States, most body styles were available, although the 1.4-litre and twincam engines were never offered. An optional engine with an SAE gross output of was added in September 1970. Either a four-speed manual or a two- or three-speed automatic were offered, until sporty five-speed coupés called the S-5 and SR-5 were introduced in 1972. In 1974, an SR-5 was entered by Car & Driver magazine's team in SCCA competition. The E20 Corolla was also assembled in Sydney, Nova Scotia by Canadian Motor Industries (CMI). CMI only ever assembled small numbers of Toyotas, as the finished cars cost ten percent more than a fully built up import and their quality was inferior; in 1974 Atlantic Canadian dealerships refused delivery of Canadian-assembled Corollas as a result. CMI ended operations in November 1975, after nearly 8,000 cars had been built there. The production tools were transferred to Ireland, where local assembly of the E20 Corolla had begun in February 1973. • 2T-C – 1.6 L (1,588 cc) I4, 8-valve OHV, carb, gross / net at 6,000 rpm US-market chassis: • KE20 - 2-door Sedan (Std.) • TE21 – 2-door/4-door Sedan • TE26 – Wagon • TE27 – Coupé (S-5, SR-5) ==Gallery==
