How does the SR5 differ from ”standard”?

[Zidderser]

I am wondering as my car does not have the ”SR5” emblem.
Thanks

It was probably very different in Europe, and from country to country there. Here in North America SR5 tercels mainly had different seats, a tachometer and clock in the dash cluster, bigger rub strips on the body, and 83 and 84's had the inclinometer on the dash.

sr5's were manual only as well.

[Mattel]

blacked out window frames. perhaps a few more options available. other countries apart from North America carried the inclometer all the way through the model years.

Every original European sold Tercel 4wd is a DLX model. They had just different emblems in four main market areas: Australia, Japan, USA/Canada and Europe and you can recognize market area from car emblems if they all are original.

Toyota chose to use 4wd side moulding emblems in all Japanese Carib 4wds, in all Australian 1982-1984 SR5 models and in all European Tercel 4wd's. Meanwhile Australian 1985-1988 and US/Canada SR5 Tercels had SR5 emblems on doors.

And SR5 is a name for a trim level. Car makers have different trim names for different market areas.

sr5's were manual only as well.

Except for Sprinter Carib SR5's as they came originally optional with an automatic in October 1983 when their RV SPECIAL model was introduced

It stands for Sports Rallye 5-Speed and Sprinter Carib SR5's were always called AV-II and their DLX's AV-I.

I've been trying to locate a company like buyee.jp for Sweden for their Tradera.com site as I noticed some Tercel brochures I want to buy for the group there but am having trouble finding a proxy buyer in Sweden. Any thoughts?

And to answer your question, SR5 was the top of the line model just like AV-II was for the car's JDM version, the Sprinter Carib. SR5 had interesting features in America, Canada, Aotearoa and maybe even Australia as well as some LHD GENERAL MARKETS from 1982-88.

1982-1984 saw 8-way plaid cloth sports seats with lots of lumbar support and nice assist grip handles, while
1984-1985 (AMERICAN/CANADIAN/AOTEAROAN/CARIB/LHD GENERAL Models): saw diamond pattern cloth sports seats, also 8-way with same features but gearing tweaks then to improve torque and minor front end changes and emblem design changes
1985-1986 (AMERICAN/CANADIAN/AOTEAROAN Models): saw introduction of 3rd period model seats with diagonal line pattern cloth sports seats, and a few other optional things such as Cruise Control (Auto Drive) for American market only for both DLX and SR5 4WD Wagons and other do-dads.
1986-1988 was the introduction of the 3rd period model - MAY for EUROPE AND JAPAN and AUGUST for CANADA and AMERICA and unknown dates for the rest of the world.

SR5's also had inclinometer gauges but the models in Europe were mostly LUXURY models and the high DLX models while SR5's were sort of the GT models. Your model would be an AL25LG-ZWFDCC while an Aussie SR5 introduced in August 1983 would be an AL25RG-ZWFQCQ.

Sweden does not have buyee style company and Swedish Tercel parts are really rare, ask me how I know. Why you want Swedish brochures? I recommend German or U.K. brochures instead. They are easier to find.

I understand basic SR5 things but we don't have SR5 models in Europe as far as I know. I just went to some spare part catalogues and they don't recognize SR5 European Tercels in them unfortunately. European Tercels had always smallest bumpers so maybe that is the reason for lack of SR5 models.

I don't want them, I need them. There is a difference between want and need. I need them for the project

Actually Europe, The Netherlands such as in Soest, had a dealership that called Autobedrijf van Dolderen that sold an unmarked SR5 model in August 1984 so your statement is incorrect

Was that car LHD driven? And what is unmarked? The only actual SR5 model that Megazip lists as sales region in Europe is RHD model AL25RG-ZWFQCQ. That limits countries basically to Irelend, U.K. Cyprus, Malta & Gibraltar. But then it says destination ARL, which is Australia. Here are the details:

And Netherlands should have LHD drive cars as far as I know Netherlands. So do you have any further details or pictures of that model? I mean were they Australian SR5 models sold as experiment to Europe?

I have seen many Swedish Tercels with my own eyes and I have seen many German Tercels for sale in the internet too. I don't see that big difference between Swedish and German Tercels at all I must say. So I and some other Swedish members could help you with some details if you need some details.

Exactly what is so special in Swedish Tercels? According to my observations they are: 3A-C engine + emissions, which are found from Swiss Tercels too. Heated seats is a speciality and tail gate opening cable in latest models too.

[Mattel]

Swedish Tercels over the Germans have headlight washers and the radio antenna is mounted on the C pillar.
