In July 2012, the Porte was redesigned and for this generation, it introduced the Toyota Spade (
Although, it still comes with the 1.3-litre 1NR-FE engine or an improved 1.5-litre 1NZ-FE engine, mated with the Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) automatic transmission, an available Smart Stop feature for the 1.5-litre variants has a fuel efficiency of 20.6 km/L (58 mpg‑imp; 48 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle (equivalent to 113 g/km (6.4 oz/mi) of CO2 emissions) of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).[5] The two different engine sizes gave Japanese drivers a choice as to which annual road tax obligation they were willing to pay; vehicles with the larger engine were equipped at a higher level than the lower trim level in compensation.
In July 2015, the 1.3-litre engine option was dropped and a newer 1.5-litre 2NR-FKE engine was used for front-wheel drive models. This version has a fuel efficiency of 22.2 km/L (63 mpg‑imp; 52 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle.[6]
Toyota stopped the production of the Porte and Spade in December 2020.[1][2]
