The Toyota Starlet, known as the Toyota Sutāretto in Japanese, is a subcompact car produced by Toyota between 1973 and 1999. It succeeded the Publica model while maintaining the Publica’s “P” designation and generation numbering system. In some markets, the first generation Starlet was marketed as the Publica Starlet, exclusively available at Toyota Corolla Store dealerships in Japan.

One notable aspect of the Toyota Starlet is that it was the first subcompact car from a Japanese manufacturer to offer a high-performance version. This high-performance variant was offered in three different generations. The first generation of the high-performance Starlet was the Turbo S (EP71) produced from 1986 to 1989. The second generation saw the introduction of the GT Turbo (EP82) from 1990 to 1995, followed by the Glanza V (EP91) from 1996 to 1999.
