The 1992 MR2 is an important vehicle to Toyota for the coupe market segment. The Turbo is a member of a series of two trim levels for the MR2 which include Base and Turbo. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Toyota. There is strong competition from vehicles from Infiniti.

Performance

The MR2 Turbo is equipped with a Toyota 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 5-speed Transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Toyota.

The 1992 MR2's normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 14.30 gallons.

The MR2 uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

MR2 Turbo Statistics

The MR2 is 164.20 inches long, 66.90 inches wide, and 48.60 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 94.50 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $17,658 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the MR2 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.

Fuel Efficiency

The MR2 Turbo received a miles-per-gallon rating of twenty one in-city driving and twenty eight when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 1992 model year was unsuccessful for the Toyota MR2. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Turbo version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
