What is the displacement of the engine in the Toyota AE86?

The Toyota AE86’s engine displacement was 1.6 liters.

The AE86 designation refers to rear-wheel-drive versions of the fifth-generation Toyota Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno, sold mainly from 1983 to 1987. Its best-known powerplant was the 4A-GE, a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter inline-four with double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The engine’s actual displacement was about 1,587 cubic centimeters.

Not every market or trim used the same engine specification. North American versions included the 4A-C, also a 1.6-liter engine, while Japanese performance versions commonly used the 4A-GE. That variation can create confusion, but it does not change the answer to the displacement question: the AE86 family is associated with a 1.6-liter engine.

The AE86 became famous for its lightweight front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and responsive handling. Its later cultural fame was amplified by drifting and by the manga and anime series “Initial D,” whose protagonist drives a Sprinter Trueno AE86.
