The 1992 MR2 is an important vehicle to Toyota for the coupe market segment. The Turbo is a member of a series of two trim levels for the MR2 which include Base and Turbo. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Toyota. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.

Engine Performance

The restyled MR2 Turbo is equipped with a Toyota 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The engine is paired with a Toyota 5-speed transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Toyota.

Steering control is handled through a manual-steering rack-style configuration. The MR2 has power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.

MR2 Turbo Statistics

The MR2 is 164.20 inches long, 66.90 inches wide, and 48.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 94.50 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $17,658, with an invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1992 MR2 is a traditional MPI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 14.30 gallons.

The MR2 Turbo received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty one in-city driving and twenty eight when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 1992 model year was unsuccessful for the Toyota MR2. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Turbo version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
