The suspension has been revised for improved ride and handling and the interior has been redesigned for better comfort and convenience. The 1995 Tercel isn't radically different from its fourth-generation predecessor. It is a bit crisper and less rounded around the edges, and has a definite wedge shape when viewed from the side. Character lines on the hood highlight the air intake. The rear deck is quite high, making for better aerodynamics and a larger trunk.
All exterior trim is black to highlight the monochrome paint finish.
This includes all windows, door trim, side rub strips and the bumpers. Part of making a car that people will want to own is making it hospitable and the Tercel succeeds admirably. It is well-equipped, especially when compared to basic cars of 15 or 20 years ago. Although options add to the price, they do make driving more comfortable. Our tester was optionally fitted with air conditioning, anti-lock brakes, power door locks and window, and an upgraded sound system.
