FactThe sportier Allion twin one-upped its Premio sibling with a small but rare trick: rear seats that tilt back just like the fronts.
The first-generation Premio and Allion, sedans sold only in Japan and designated compact cars by Japanese dimension regulations, were launched on 25 December 2001. The Premio has a more elegant approach, while the Allion emphasises younger buyers; the two share the same engines and interior, the Allion can be specced with front spoilers and rear trunk wings, and it also features rear tilting seats. Both were offered with 1.5-, 1.8- and 2.0-litre engines, the 2.0-litre with a CVT, and on 20 December 2004 the Premio received a modest restyle with LED tail lights.

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.

The 2.0L option Toyota added to this generation in 2008 cut emissions 75% below Japan's 2005 standard — while already beating the stricter 2010 fuel-economy rule.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
