1996 Toyota Paseo

The Toyota Paseo (known as Cynos in Japan and other regions) was released in 1991 and was loosely based off of the Toyota Tercel. It was available as a coupe and in later models as a convertible. Toyota stopped selling the car in the United States in 1997, however the car continued to be sold in Europe and Japan until 1999.


1st generation

The first generation of the Paseo was made from 1992 to 1995. Based off of the Tercel powertrain, the Paseo featured a 1.5 L Straight-4 engine. In most places, the Paseo was equipped with 100 horsepower (75 kW) and 91 lbf·ft (123 Nm) of torque. In California and other states with California level emissions standards, it came equipped with 93 horsepower (69 kW) and 100 lbf·ft (136 Nm) of torque. It was offered with either a 5 speed manual transmission and a 4 speed automatic transmission.

2nd generation

The second generation of the Paseo was introduced in 1996. Apart from some modernizing in the engine electronics, the only noticeable change was in body stylings. In 1997, a convertible model was introduced. However, this was the last year the Paseo was sold in the United States. Toyota stopped selling the Paseo completely in 1999. In order to reduce emissions levels, the second generation Paseo's engine was reduced to the same specifications as the California CARB models, delivering 93 horsepower (69 kW) and 100 lbf·ft (136 Nm).

Enthusiast Aftermarket

Because of similarities between the Paseo and the Toyota Tercel and Starlet (they are built on the same platform), the three cars have many interchangable parts. Many individuals have swapped Toyota Starlet Turbo 4efte Engines, variations of the 4age engines found in select Toyota Corollas, MR2s and other Toyota models, and other Toyota Engines.
