Author: The Celica GT is equipped with a Toyota 2.2 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Toyota.
The Celica uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Celica GT Statistics
The dimensions of the Celica GT are 68.90 inches wide by 174.20 inches long. It sits a comfortable 50.80 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 99.90 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The standard warranty period for the Celica is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $20,178 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-high price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1995 Celica is a MPI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 15.90 gallons.
The Celica GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of 22 - 23 in-city driving and 29 - 30 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.
In Summary
There are several reasons why the Toyota Celica GT sold well in 1995. Mainly the increase in availability and a marked improvement in quality meant the buying public was more apt to choose a Toyota, specifically a Celica.
