The Van arrived in October 1978, at the same time that the 1.2-litre KP62 became available in most export markets. Three- and five-door hatchbacks were offered in export markets, although a longer five-door wagon variant (also known as the "Van" in the Japanese market) was sold in Japan and certain Asian and European markets. It was particularly well received in Europe, including the United Kingdom, at which time superminis were soaring in popularity. The 60 series, introduced in February 1978, was better known than its predecessor due to being the first Starlet extensively sold outside Japan. The "Starlet" nameplate was revived in 2020 for a rebadged Suzuki Baleno hatchback, sold exclusively in some African countries (and in India under the "Glanza" name). However, Toyota effectively vacated the European city car market until the Aygo was launched in 2005. In 1999, the Starlet was replaced by the Vitz-sold as the Echo or Yaris in international markets-and the bB mini MPV, which was later sold as the Scion xB in Canada and the United States and as the Daihatsu Materia in Europe. The Starlet was briefly exported to North America from 1981 to 1984. Another variant was the Toyota Sera, a sport compact made in the early 1990s and officially sold only in Japan the Sera had a unique two-door coupé body and butterfly doors but shared the Starlet's chassis and mechanicals. It is the first subcompact car from a Japanese automaker to offer a high-performance variant.
In Japan, it was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store dealers. The first generation Starlet was sold as the Publica Starlet in some markets.
Starlet glanza v code#
The Toyota Starlet ( Japanese: トヨタ・スターレット, Toyota Sutāretto) is a subcompact car manufactured by Toyota from 1973 until 1999, replacing the Publica, but retaining the Publica's "P" code and generation numbering. It's not safe to dish out a chassis number online either unfortunately. Suppose the only way is to start a register and log chassis numbers and we're a decade away from that I reckon. The EP91's don't seem to have low numbers from what I've seen. The lowest I've seen locally is three figures and she was a Dec 1989 GT so that's a good indication.Įqually the V's last chassis number was proving difficult to trace as it could have been anything.
There were many early production vehicles that were used for testing purposes. The GT starts off pretty low but it's not as simple as EP82-0000001 being the first GT off the production line. I spent some time messing about with random chassis numbers on the Toyota electronic parts computer (EPC) which can pinpoint production month and year of a vehicle. Given the volume shown I'd say the totals mentioned are for all models. You'll note it doesn't include the 1999 figures as it wasn't over at that point. Did a bit of research on this area a while back and uncovered these figures on Starlet sales from 1999 :
