How much horsepower does a Toyota Corona Premio have?

The horsepower of a Toyota Corona Premio depends on the engine and model year. In most markets, outputs typically range from about 140 to 165 horsepower, with some later or larger-displacement variants approaching 170 hp.


The Corona Premio was produced in the 2000s as a more upscale variant of Toyota’s compact sedan lineup and offered several gasoline engine options. This article outlines the main engines used in Premio models and the horsepower figures they commonly produced, noting that exact numbers can vary by year, market, and equipment.


Engine options and horsepower across generations


The following figures reflect representative outputs for common Premio configurations. Exact horsepower can vary by year, transmission, and regional tuning.



  • 1.8-liter petrol engines: roughly 140–158 horsepower

  • 2.0-liter petrol engines: roughly 150–165 horsepower

  • Higher-displacement or premium configurations (where available): up to about 170 horsepower


Note: Diesel options were not widely offered for the Corona Premio, and regional specifications could shift power ratings by a few horsepower due to emission controls and tuning. For an exact figure on a specific car, consult the VIN or official spec sheet for that year and market.


Summary


The Corona Premio does not have a single horsepower figure; it varies with engine choice and year. Most commonly, Premio models delivered about 140–165 horsepower, with some later variants or premium trims reaching around 170 hp. If you can share the exact year and engine code (for example, the 1.8L or 2.0L engine), I can provide a precise horsepower rating for that specific model.
