Toyota Carina – the collective page of Carina II and Carina E estates registered as commercial vehicles, 54 to 61 kW, 1,587 to 1,980 cc
This page holds Toyota Carina estates registered as N1 light commercial vehicles even though they are technically mid-size passenger cars. The "COMM." suffix in model designations such as "CARINA II 1.6 DX COMM." stands for "Commercial" and denotes two-seat estate versions without a rear bench seat, registered as commercial vehicles especially in the British market for tax reasons. The Carina II (built in the 1980s) and the Carina E (E for Europe, built from 1992 at Toyota's UK plant in Burnaston) are two successive generations of the range.

The register lists 9 versions here with recorded outputs from 54 to 61 kW, displacements from 1,587 to 1,980 cc from four-cylinder engines, kerb weights from 1,033 to 1,310 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,490 to 1,780 kg, lengths from 4,340 to 4,550 mm and widths from 1,650 to 1,700 mm.
Such commercial re-registrations of estate cars like the Carina were common in countries with tax advantages for commercially used vehicles; the Carina itself competed as a mid-size car with models such as the Ford Sierra, Opel Vectra and VW Passat.
When buying used, what counts is rust on the sills, wheel arches and boot floor, the condition of the clutch and gearbox on the notably durable Toyota engines, and on the diesel versions the condition of the injection pump; parts supply through the international Toyota dealer network remains good.
