2.8 Grande (5M-GE)

X70 · 1984–1988RWD

This X70 Mark II hardtop used the twin-cam 2.8-liter 5M-GE inline-six, an engine sold for export from 1984 to 1988. It had rear-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The 2.8 gave the Grande far more displacement than the 2.0-liter sixes that powered the Japanese cars.

STORY

Toyota introduced the Corona Mark II in September 1968 as a model between the Corona and the Crown. The X90 generation of 1992 brought the Tourer V, whose twin-turbo 2.5-litre 1JZ-GTE became the car's best-known engine, and the next X100 followed in 1996. The ninth and last generation, the X110, appeared in 2000. The sedan went out of production in 2004, when the Mark X replaced it in Japan, while a wagon version, the Mark II Blit, was built until 2007.
