Exterior

Even a small rise in the price of 2018 Toyota Celica can worsen the situation if any considerable change in its exterior and interior is not made. It is expected that Toyota will redesign and renew its exterior to make it all together different from its last version. The exterior of this model is expected to be a bit larger than before to fulfil the requirement of the people for an additional leg room for the rear seat. Another reason of changing its design from its predecessor is that the latest version is rear wheel drive which is quite different from its last edition.

Though some of the features of 86 have been retained in it but still it has shorter rear end, longer hood, quad headlights, dual side exhaust and fog lights on its front bumper to give its exterior an aggressive and attractive look. The surroundings of this car may include standard LED lights to run during day time and automatic high beam headlights with HID reflectors. The design of its hood has been enabled to make air intake better to improve the breathing system of its engine. On the rear of this car large spoiler and LED taillights can be expected. In order to provide better performance, smooth handling and fuel efficiency it is expected that lighter materials will be used in this version of Celica.

Both of these versions are expected to be rear wheel drive with standard six-speed manual transmission. A 6-speed automatic CVT transmission engine is also expected for both types of engines, if their steering wheels have paddle shifters. It can give 30 mpg millage on highway with the help of this automatic transmission.
