Cars are available in 4-door sedan, 5-door combi, and station wagon versions. They have designations "XLi", XLi" or "GLi".
Below is an overview of the options.
1988
Here we are talking primarily about the Carina 1.6 XL, Carina 1.6 l combi and Carina XL station wagon 1.6 l. At that time, the engine was equipped with a carburetor and had the name "4A-F", power 90 hp (66 kW) at a speed of 6000 rpm. The sedan and station wagon were equipped with this engine.
The 2.0 liter engine of the 5-door coupe combi was equipped with an electronic injection device manufactured under license from Bosch. It has the designation "3S-FE" and power 121 hp. (89 kW) at a speed of 5600 rpm and is installed only on the coupe.
1989 and 1990 years of production
During these years, the above-mentioned models continued to be produced, but a coupe with a 1.6 liter engine also began to be produced. The engines and their power are similar to those produced in 1988.
1991
Models with a 1.6 liter engine were equipped with a fuel injection device (designation ''4A-FE'') power 105 hp. (77 kW) at a speed of 6000 rpm. The 2.0 liter engine has not changed.
1992 release
Models with the 1.6 liter engine now have a 107 hp engine. With. (79 kW) at a speed of 6000 rpm. In this case we are talking about the so-called engine "Lean-burn", that is, an engine running on a lean fuel mixture. The engine designation has been retained. The power of the 2.0 L engine has also been increased. He now began to develop a power of 133 hp (98 kW) at a speed of 5800 rpm.
Note: 2.0 l diesel engines with 73 hp (54 kW) at a speed of 4700 rpm with the designation "2C" During these years, they remained almost unchanged, but were not sold in all European countries. Diesel engines are described in a separate chapter at the end of the publication.
The cylinders are part of the engine block and therefore cannot be replaced. The lubrication system consists of an oil pump, an oil filter, an oil pressure switch, safety and pressure relief valves. The safety valve opens when the filter is clogged. If the pressure increases significantly, the pressure relief valve opens, ensuring a normal pressure value.
The cylinder head of gasoline engines has two overhead camshafts and is made of a light metal alloy. The camshafts have a combined belt-chain drive, that is, one shaft is driven through a timing belt, and the second through a chain from the first camshaft. Both gasoline engine models have four valves on each cylinder.
The car chassis is a monocoque body with separate suspension of the front and rear wheels. The front wheel suspension of all models consists of shock-absorbing struts with coil springs, lower triangular and wishbones and a stabilizer.
Rear wheel suspension of sedans and combis (culé) consists of parallel wishbones, rods and shock absorber struts with coil springs, as well as a stabilizer. The shock absorbers are installed inside the shock struts. Coupe models have a rigid rear axle with leaf springs.
The dual-circuit braking system has a brake regulator and consists of disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear wheels (on models with high-power engines, disc brakes are installed on the rear wheels).
The steering has a rack and pinion drive and, on some models, power steering.
Either a fully synchronized 5-speed gearbox or automatic transmission is installed. 5-speed gearbox type C50 or S50.
