Engines

• Three engines were available for 1990 Celica models. The base model ST received a 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder making a scant 103 horsepower and 106 lbs.-ft. torque. GT and GT-S models had a second engine, a 2.2-liter inline four with 130 horsepower and 144 lbs.-ft. torque. Top-of-the-line All-Trac Turbo Celicas had a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder with a sports car-like 200 horsepower and 200 lbs.-ft. torque.
  
  

Drivetrain

• All 1990 Celicas use a front engine, front-wheel drive layout except the All-Trac Turbo, which is all-wheel drive. Two transmissions were available: a four-speed automatic with overdrive and a five-speed manual, with the All-Trac Turbo only getting the manual. The suspension is four-wheel independent on all models.
