Does the 2001 Celica have ABS?

Yes, the 2001 Toyota Celica was available with an optional anti-lock braking system (ABS). ABS was offered as part of an optional upgrade package on the Celica that year.


Detailed Overview of the 2001 Toyota Celica's ABS Availability


The 2001 Toyota Celica was the seventh generation of the popular sports coupe. For that model year, Toyota offered the Celica in two main trim levels: the base GT and the sportier GTS. ABS was an optional feature that could be added to either trim level.


According to Toyota's official specifications for the 2001 Celica, the ABS system included:



  • Four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front discs

  • Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to optimize braking force

  • Brake Assist to provide additional braking power in emergency situations


The ABS option was part of a larger "Power Package" that also included features like alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, and a premium audio system. Customers had to select this optional package to get the ABS brakes on their 2001 Celica.


Importance of ABS in Sports Cars Like the Celica


Anti-lock brakes are an important safety feature, especially on sporty vehicles like the Celica that are designed for more aggressive driving. ABS helps prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control and avoid skids or loss of control.


This is particularly beneficial on the Celica, which was known for its nimble handling and performance-oriented driving dynamics. The ABS system helped enhance the Celica's safety and stability at higher speeds or in emergency braking situations.

It was optional for all Celica's so far as I know. One of my 00 GT-S had it the other doesn't. Easy way to tell is to look at the rear hubs. The back side has a plug in for the ABS if equipped.
