The 1.3-litre 2A engine was replaced by the more modern 12-valve 2E engine along with a May 1985 facelift at Toyota Corolla Store locations.
The range began with the 1300 Custom DX and ended with the 1600 GT Limited, introduced in June 1986.
The FX hatchback lineup was considered a semi-separate line and received a different nose and different equipment levels than its sedan and liftback counterparts.
The 1.3 was not available in the FX, targeted at sportier buyers, until the 2E engine became available.
