Engineers at Toyota claimed that the all new round styling and lack of straight edges in previous models improved strength without adding unnecessary weight. After the T180 series styling made its debut, various other manufactures soon copied its unique styling.
The North American Celica was equipped with fixed door side view mirrors and amber front corner lights. Every other model was equipped with folding mirrors and clear corner lights. The drivers side airbag (SRS) was standard in all US models. The ST has a 1.6 liter 4A-FE, which is similar to the Corolla's. The GT-S was powered by a 2.2 liter 5S-FE which is similar to the Camry's, the 5S-FE rated 5 HP greater than the GT at 135 BHP. The 2.2 liter was designed for more low-end torque, this appealed to U.S buyers' preferences as opposed to the high revving engines of the past. The All-Trac was available with the improved 2.0 liter 3S-GTE engine, the All-Trac was rated at 200 BHP. The GT-S and all other export market GT-Four are all wide-body lift backs including flared fenders. However JDM GT-Four's were also offered in normal body's.
August 1990 the Japanese added the widebody GT-Four A and Convertible into their lineup. A Super Live Sound System was added with 10 speakers for the GT-Four A which was a standard, other models were given the option for this premium sound system except the S-R. The 20th Anniversary GT-R came in December of 1990 to celebrate a long successful journey of the Celica line.
The Celica Convertible was built by a American Sunroof company (ASC) in California, it was offered here in the states as a GT model with a 5S-FE engine. Also known as a Type G in the Japanese Domestic Market, in Europe it was named a Cabriolet with a 3S-GE engine.
Australian models include the SX Coupe, SX Liftback, GT-Four, as well as 150 delivered limited edition Group A Rallye models. The Australian models are much less luxurious than the North American and JDM models. Sad enough to say the sunroof was only available as an option for the SX, which should have been standard like both JDM and US models. As weird as it sounds the GT-Four did not include ABS, which should have been standard. However ABS became standard on the GT-Four a few months after production. As 1993 came along the Limited Edition WRC Trophy model was offered in Australia. The Limited Edition WRC model is basically the SX with special decals, GT-Four sport front seats, and cruise control.
In the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) the new models featured: S-R, Z-R, GT-R, and GT-Four (Active Sports Suspension). The S-R and Z-R were powered by the 3S-FE engine while the GT-R and Active Sports came with a 3S-GE. The GT-Four 3S-GTE featured an air-to-air intercooler and a CT26 twin entry turbo to eliminate exhaust gas interference. In the JDM market the GT-Four has a 221HP engine, which results in a more aggressive ignition and a advanced ceramic turbine. The GT-Four has a viscous coupling limited slip center differential and a Torsen rear differential.
Anti-lock brakes (ABS) were available on every year for GT-S models, also available on the GT between 1992-1993. Optional features available for the GT-S and '90-'92 were leather interior, sunroof, and System 10 Premium Sound but standard on the '93 All-Trac. The All-Trac aka GT-Four was the most expensive Celica yet.
A special Rally Edition of only 5000 units ever made was the GT-Four RC, Carlos Sainz in Europe, and Group A Rallye in Australia.

Features Include:
- WTA Intercooler which Toyota Team Europe wanted, for easy tuning their WRC car.
- Different hood, which can get rid of heat as fast as possible instead of scooping in air which was included in the ST185 model
- A more aggressive tuned ECU
- Lighter bumper which is much lighter than standard
