Chevrolet Cavalier#Toyota Cavalier
To relax the trade barriers between the United States and the Empire of Japan, the Japanese car manufacturer Toyota decided to import the Chevrolet Cavalier and under its own brand name as a Toyota Cavalier (Japanese:トヨタ·キャバリエ) to drive.
The first Cavaliers were imported to Japan in January 1996. Toyota had then, consequently, the U.S. vehicles converted appropriately for the home market. Because the steering wheel was on the left side of the vehicle. To make this Toyota had them installed a completely new instrument panel, in which the individual instruments and buttons were at the usual place for the Japanese.
As the model is finally the end of January for the first time officially appeared on the market, it was offered as a notchback sedan, coupe and convertible. The basic version presented here at the beginning of the Cavalier 2.3 with a displacement of 2294 cc ( LD2). In the same year this was replaced by the larger LD9 with a displacement of 2392 cc (4- cylinder DOHC). As ranked the top version sporting Z24 version of the TRD.
Main customers were firefighters and the police. Most of the vehicles had to be shipped due to low demand overseas. These were mostly East Asian markets, markets of the Middle East and New Zealand.
Although the price was ultimately reduced to the Cavalier model in November 1996 by 40 %, the model in Japan was a flop. Regardless of the imported Toyota Cavalier continue.
In March 2000, there were new headlights for the Cavaliers. But it was only in July 2000, the import has been set. The official successor to the Toyota Allion was.
