FactThe sporty Active Sports version wore its own body kit and split headlights styled like the Celica's.
The second-generation Caldina, the Japanese counterpart of the European Avensis wagon, was launched in Japan in September 1997, with no van version. Engines were a 1.8-litre 7A-FE, a 2.0-litre 3S-FE and a 2.2-litre 3C-TE turbodiesel, with All-Trac four-wheel drive (ST215) and GT models using the 3S-GE with VVT-i; the turbocharged GT-T is listed separately. Aerial versions had a large sunroof, and a 2000 refresh brought new bumpers, lights and interior trim.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
Every third-generation Caldina came with GPS navigation as standard, and not one was sold with a manual gearbox.
The sporty Active Sports version wore its own body kit and split headlights styled like the Celica's.
The Caldina GT-T wasn't just a fast wagon — its 260 PS turbo 3S-GTE engine and viscous-diff all-wheel drive were lifted straight from Toyota's rally-bred Celica GT-Four.
The Field Hunter's outside-mounted spare wheel made the wagon too long to count as a compact car, which put it in a much higher tax category.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
Cooling the C6 RS6’s twin-turbo V10 took seven separate radiators and four electric fans under the bonnet.
The original RS6 debuted Audi's clever hydraulic Dynamic Ride Control suspension — and enough owners got tired of its leaking dampers that they ripped the whole system out for plain coilovers.
The C7-generation RS6 Avant never officially reached America at all — buyers there got the RS7 Sportback instead, running the exact same engine and platform in a different body.
For a few years, this Outback's six-cylinder trim came with genuine McIntosh audio — the same esteemed hi-fi name found in home theaters, one of the only cars ever to get it from the factory.
Subaru didn't have the budget for an all-new SUV, so it dressed up a Legacy wagon instead. A Subaru of America executive later put it bluntly: "[the Outback] saved our company."
The new Outback's full-width tail light bar has a 2 ft ruler built in, for measuring whatever you are about to load.
This Outback shared Top Gear's Car of the Year crown — an unusual honor for a jacked-up wagon to split with the Ford Mondeo in 2007.
A wagon beat the SUVs at their own game: this Outback generation won Motor Trend's Sport/Utility of the Year award for 2010.
