The Toyota Caldina was a Japanese-market automobile produced by Toyota between 1992 to 2007, serving as a replacement for the Corona and Carina wagons. Although it was not officially exported by Toyota, the Caldina gained popularity as a grey import in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and various South American regions due to its All-Trac 4WD capability and generous capacity. The Caldina was retailed at Toyota Store and Toyopet Store locations within Japan. In 2007, the T270 series Avensis wagon/estate took over the Caldina's market position after it was discontinued.
The name "Caldina" is derived from the Italian (and English) word "cardinal," which means "essential" or "fundamental," reflecting Toyota's intention for the vehicle to be a crucial and significant offering in their lineup.
