The first generation was a new design direction, emphasizing styling and comfort over practicality and economy. The Carina ED was introduced in May 1985.[1] The Celica platform was used and attention was placed on handling and performance. The initial lineup offered two 1.8-litre engines and one twin cam 16-valve 2.0. The 1S-iLU had single-point injection while the 1S-ELU used multi-point injection, as did the top of the line 3S-GELU. Power outputs were initially in JIS Gross, and the three engines were rated at 105, 115 and 160 PS (77, 85 and 118 kW).[2] With the later net rating, power figures drop down to 89, 98 and 140 PS (65, 72 and 103 kW) respectively.[1][3] Fog lamps were made standard August 1987, and the 1S-ELU engine was replaced by the 2.0-litre 3S-FE, producing 120 PS (88 kW) JIS net.[3] In May 1988 the 1S-iLU was replaced by the 1.8-litre 4S-Fi, with 105 PS (77 kW) JIS net; this meant that the engine lineup now consisted entirely twin cams.

The trim level designations were 1800V, 2000X, 2000GT and 2000GT-4WD. As a result of styling changes, sales improved in comparison to the second generation.
