The Toyota Caldina is an automobile manufactured by Toyota for the Japanese market and released in 1992. It replaced the Toyota Carina and Toyota Corona wagons, and was sold at both Toyota Store and Toyopet Store locations in Japan.

While the Caldina has never been officially exported by Toyota outside of Japan, its All-Trac 4WD capability and large capacity have made it a popular grey import in Australia, New Zealand, Russia and many South American countries.

The Caldina was discontinued in 2007, with the Toyota Avensis wagon assuming the market position previously held by the Caldina.

The original Toyota Caldina was the 5-door wagon or commercial van version (1992–2002) of the four-door sedan Toyota Corona and Toyota Carina in Japan. The wagon has independent strut rear suspension while the commercial wagon has semi-independent leaf springs.

Sharing a platform with Toyota Allion and Toyota Premio, the Caldina is the Japanese version of the European Toyota Avensis wagon, launched in Japan in mid 1997.

The 4WD models are coded ST215, and are offered as Active Sports GT with the 3S-GE engine. The top of the line GT-T came with the turbocharged 260 PS (191 kW; 256 hp) 4th generation 3S-GTE engine, and included an all-wheel drive system similar to the Toyota Celica GT-Four. The GT-T also came with optional electronic stability control(VSC) (standard on Active Sports versions). The Aerial version features a large sunroof and countoured roof racks as standard. Weighing 1,440 kg (3,175 lb), the manual Caldina GT-T has a 0–100 km/h time of 6.4 seconds, with the automatic version only 0.1 seconds slower. A refresh was given in 2000 with new bumpers and a new plastic headlight design. The interior was also updated. In 2001, an extra lug was added to the turbo manifold to prevent the manifold from warping which had been a common issue on earlier GT-T models.

Engines for lesser models are the 1.8 L 7A-FE, the 2.0 L gasoline 3S-FE, and the 2.2 L diesel 3C-TE.
