First Generation
1980 Charmant Wagon |
First presented in November 1974, the A35 Charmants, based on earlier Corollas, were normally equipped with 1,166 cc engines producing 66 PS (SAE) and 1,290 cc engines producing 72 PS (SAE) at 5,200 rpm. This type of engines were coded as 3K (1.2L) and 4K (1.3L) Toyota engines and came with a four- or five-speed manual transmission, as well as a two- or three-speed automatic option. The 88 PS (SAE) 1,588 cc overhead valve 2T engine was also available from 1978 on; this could also be ordered with a three-speed automatic with overdrive. There was also a 1.4 litre engine available, offering 86 PS (SAE).
Unique to the first generation, a station wagon was also available. This was called "Van" in the Japanese domestic market, where it was classed as a commercial vehicle.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“... there are some who, believing that all is for the best in the best of possible worlds, and that to-morrow is necessarily better than to-day, may think that if culture is a good thing we shall infallibly be found to have more of it that we had a generation since; and that if we can be shown not to have more of it, it can be shown not to be worth seeking.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
