Unlike Progres the Brevis aimed at a younger clientele, competing with imports, according to Toyota models such as the BMW 3 Series and the Mercedes -Benz C-Class. Chassis and drivetrain were similar to those of Progres, body and interior but differed. The headlights consisted of three round emitters under a single glass cover.
