It was also sold in New Zealand, but not in Australia. The exteriors were the same as the European Carina E. The station wagon variant was a badge-engineered Toyota Caldina and also similar to Carina E.

The locally assembled cars also received special spring and damper combinations (again developed by racer Chris Amon) as well as some other changes.
