The Toyota Carina ED is a compact car manufactured by Japanese automaker Toyota in 1985 as a companion to the 1984 Carina sedan. It was positioned as the four-door Celica, with a similar focus on luxury found on larger Toyota pillared hardtop sedans, like the Toyota Crown, the Toyota Cresta and the Toyota Chaser.
Unlike the larger sedans, the Carina ED, and later the Corona EXiV, were genuine four-door hardtops without a B-pillar connecting the rear door support to the roof. Its design sought to emulate the hardtop sedan styling of large American and European sedans, resulting in a small, low cabin with longer front and rear ends.
The ED achieved huge sales in Japan, and other Japanese manufacturers followed with similar designs, including the Mazda Persona, Nissan Presea, and Honda Integra. "ED" is the initials of "Exciting" and "Dressy".[1] When the Carina ED was discontinued, the Toyota Brevis appeared for the market segment served by the Carina ED.

The first generation was a new design direction, emphasizing styling and comfort over practicality and economy, and was introduced in August 1985. The Carina ED was introduced in May 1985.[1] The Celica platform was used, and attention was placed on handling, style and performance.
When the first Carina was introduced in 1970, it was identified as a four-door Celica but sold at a different Toyota Japan dealership called Toyota Store as a Corona-sized sedan with a performance-enhanced image of the Celica. The Corona was exclusive to Toyopet Store, and the Celica was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store. The introduction of the Carina ED represented a reintroduction of the performance reputation of the Celica, once again as a four-door version but using a genuine hardtop body style that was discontinued in 1981 when the Carina and Celica hardtop coupes were no longer offered.
The pillared hardtop approach was also used on the yet smaller Corolla/Sprinter platform, called the Corolla Ceres and the Sprinter Marino; these cars were offered for consumers who wanted the luxurious approach offered by the Toyota Crown pillared hardtop and sedan, as well as the Chaser and Cresta but at a lower price and reduced tax liability based on the vehicles size and engine displacement. The exclusivity of a genuine hardtop sedan set the Carina ED apart from other more expensive Toyota sedans, and sales reflected the effort. The Carina ED's appearance is similar to the 1986 Camry Prominent that appeared in August, which also used a pillared hardtop and front wheel drive.
The initial lineup offered two 1.8-litre engines and one twin-cam 16-valve 2.0. The 1S-iLU had single-point injection, while the 1S-ELU used multi-point injection, as did the top-of-the-line 3S-GELU. Power outputs were initially in JIS Gross, and the three engines were rated at 105, 115 and 160 PS (77, 85 and 118 kW).[2] With the later net rating, power figures drop down to 89, 98 and 140 PS (65, 72 and 103 kW) respectively.[1][3] Fog lamps were made standard August 1987, and the 1S-ELU engine was replaced by the 2.0-litre 3S-FE, producing 120 PS (88 kW) JIS net.[3] In May 1988 the 1S-iLU was replaced by the 1.8-litre 4S-Fi, with 105 PS (77 kW) JIS net; this meant that the engine lineup now consisted entirely twin cams.

The restyled second generation was introduced 1989 and luxury equipment content increased. Four-wheel steering appeared on the top level offerings and styling was updated more closely resemble the twin introduction of the Toyota Corona EXiV, and shared it appearance with the Toyota Corona, Toyota Carina and Japan only Toyota Camry V30. Along with some minor changes in August 1988, electronic fuel injection was made standard on all engines offered as the 4S-FE replaced the 4S-Fi. The output of the lesser, narrow-valve 2.0-litre 3S-FE was increased simultaneously, from 125 to 140 PS (92 to 103 kW).
This was the last model to be a full hardtop, as the succeeding version had a B-pillar.

The All-Trac four wheel drive system introduced on this generation was borrowed from the Toyota Celica GT-Four, and four wheel steering continued from previous generations. To take advantage of the all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-steering, Toyota also installed a modified MacPherson strut for the front wheels called Super Strut instead of installing the more elaborate and expensive TEMS. The distinguishing genuine hartop body style was discontinued and it was changed to a B-pillar hardtop. The trim level designations were 1800V, 2000X, 2000GT and 2000GT-4WD. As a result of styling changes, sales improved in comparison to the second generation. A driver side airbag appeared September 1995, as well as speed sensitive door locks and climate control air conditioning. A passenger side airbag appeared June 1996. Production ended due to economic conditions April 1998.
