Toyota Model Codes
Contents
MODEL CODES EXPLAINED
Toyota use codes to identify all the models they make. They are stamped on the VIN plates.
The code is split into three parts for JDM cars and 2 parts for export (UK) cars.
1st part (JDM only)
This is a code for which emissions regulations the car conforms to in Japan. Usually E.
Middle part (1st part on UK cars)
This starts with one or two characters denoting the engine series.
Next is the chassis code. All RWD Celicas are A and FWD Celicas are T, which is then followed by a series number.
Gen1=A2, gen2=A4, gen3=A6, gen4=T16, gen5=T18, gen6=T20, gen7=T23
A further number indicates minor chassis differences. e.g. 3=4WS, 5=4WD.
A final character is used to denote LHD (L) or RHD (R) on export cars, and Convertible (C) or Widebody (H) on Japanese market cars.
Examples
A UK delivered gen7 Celica 140 has the 1ZZ-FE engine, the T23 chassis and is RHD, so the code is ZZT230R.
A JDM gen6 Celica SS-I with 4WS has the 3S-FE engine, and the T20 chassis, so the code is ST203.
A UK gen6 Celica ST has the 7A-FE engine, the T20 chassis and is RHD, so the code is AT200R.
A JDM gen5 Celica GT-Four has the 3S-GTE engine, and the T18 chassis, so the code is ST185.
Last part contains 5 or 6 letters.
1) Model type, where the chassis is used for more than one model. All Celicas are B.
2) Body style. e.g. C=Coupe, L=Liftback, K=Convertible.
3) Transmission. e.g. M=5 speed floor mounted manual, P=4 speed floor mounted automatic.
4) Trim level. e.g. S=Sports, normal performance, G=Higher grade.
5) Engine code. e.g. F=Twincam, EFI (high performance), K=Twincam, EFI (economy).
6) Export destination (blank on JDM cars). W=Europe.
There is a complete set of all these codes in the DATA section further down the page.
