Types of Toyota Starlets
The Toyota Starlet has gone through several generations, each with its own unique features and specifications. Here are some of the different types of Toyota Starlets:
1. 60 Series Starlet: The 60 series Starlet was the first Toyota passenger car to utilize rack-and-pinion steering. It featured MacPherson front struts and four-link rear suspension with coil springs for hatchback models and leaf spring suspension on van models.
2. 80 Series Starlet: The 80 series Starlet was introduced to the Japanese market in December 1989. It had a more rounded body style and interior. Japanese models received new twin-cam engines, such as the 4E-F, 4E-FE, and turbocharged 4E-FTE. Export models retained the 1E and 2E engines, with the special version 4E-FE available for UK and Hong Kong facelift models. The 1N 1.5-liter diesel engine was also an option. The 80 series Starlets exported to other destinations had their number plates mounted on the hatch center panel.
3. Fifth Generation Starlet (90 Series): The fifth generation Starlet, also known as the 90 series, was launched in Japan in January 1996. It aimed to increase Toyota’s presence in Europe by doubling its availability in Western European markets. However, it represented only 0.7% of the European small car market due to import restrictions. The fifth generation Starlet featured various improvements and updates.
Please note that these are just a few examples of the different types of Toyota Starlets. There may be other variations and special editions available in different markets.

What is the difference between 1.4 and 1.5 Starlet?
The powertrain comprises a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine, replacing the previous model’s 1.4-litre unit. The increase in displacement means more power by 9kW and 8Nm, respectively, amounting to a total power output of 77kW and 138Nm.
Which is the best XR or XS?
Avoid the XR. If the quality and features of the camera are especially important to you, you’ll be happiest with the XS or XS Max. If you’re looking for the most powerful processor and the fastest phone, go with either the XS, XS Max or XR. If you want your battery to last as long as possible, choose the XR.
Is The Starlet a reliable car?
Reliable basic car
I have owned this car for 3 years and covered 13000 miles, and apart from the annual service has needed no maintenance. The 1332cc engine is more than adequate for such a small car. The 3-speed automatic transmission is very good around town, but can be rather unpleasant in the 30-40mph range.
What is the difference between the old and new Toyota Starlet?
Previously, the Starlet had a 1.4-litre engine good for 68kW and 134Nm, while the new model houses a 1.5-litre engine making 77kW and 138Nm. While this might not seem like much on paper, there’s a definite difference when driving the little car around city traffic and on the open road.
What is the difference between Starlet XS and XR?
Xi and Xs models feature a double-DIN audio system with CD/Bluetooth/USB/Aux functionality, playing through six speakers. The Xr models step that up with a feature-rich touchscreen audio system complete with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration for navigation, telephony and music-streaming services.

What are other names for Toyota Starlet?
In 1999, the Starlet was replaced by the Vitz in Japan (it was sold as the Yaris locally and in most international markets) and the nameplate disappeared for two decades before it was revived in 2020, now appearing on the Toyota derivative of the Suzuki-developed Baleno hatchback (known in India as the Toyota Glanza).
Is Toyota Starlet a reliable car?
It’s an excellent first car because it’s safe and highly economical, and you’ll also get low-cost servicing from a reputable brand with the largest dealer footprint in SA.
Which is better XR or XS?
iPhone XS also has a more advanced, edge-to-edge OLED display, with higher resolution than iPhone XR. However, iPhone XR, with its True Tone Liquid Retina display is unlikely to disappoint. In fact it’s slightly larger than the iPhone XS display – 6.1inches compared to 5.8.
