The Toyota Paseo (known as the Cynos in Japan and other regions) is a sports styled compact car sold from 1991–1999 and was loosely based on the Tercel. It was available as a coupe and in later models as a convertible. Toyota stopped selling the car in the United States in 1997, however the car continued to be sold in Canada, Europe and Japan until 1999, but had no direct replacement. The Paseo, like the Tercel, shares a platform with the Starlet. Several parts are interchangeable between the three.
"Paseo" is Spanish for "a walk" or "a stroll."
The first generation of the Paseo was made from 1991 to 1995. Based on the Tercel, the Paseo featured a 1.5-liter 5E-FE inline-four engine. In most markets, the Paseo's engine was rated at 100 hp (75 kW; 101 PS) @ 6400 rpm and 91 pound-feet (123 N·m) of torque @ 3200 rpm. In 1993 in California and other states with California level emissions standards, it was rated at 93 hp (69 kW; 94 PS) and 100 pound-feet (136 N·m) of torque. It was offered with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic.In March 21 1993 the paseo's Maked on the car Honda Accord
The second generation of the Paseo was introduced to Japan in 1995, and for the 1996 model year in North America. Apart from some modernizing in the engine electronics, the only noticeable change was in the body sheet metal. A convertible model was shown at the October 1995 Tokyo Motor Show and was released for sale in August 1996. This was the last year the Paseo was sold in the United States (1997 model year).
To reduce emissions levels, the second generation Paseo's engine was reduced to the same specifications as the California CARB models, delivering 93 hp (69 kW; 94 PS) and 100 pound-feet (136 N·m), this, another E series engine, the 5E-FE inline-four engine. It was sold in the United Kingdom (UK) from 1996 to 1998, but was withdrawn due to slow sales.
