What are the different types of Toyota Starlets?

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.
