Both standard and Premium versions of the Celica Blue are available featuring, in addition to the regular Celica specification two-tone blue and granite leather upholstery and door inserts, a T Sport-style rear spoiler, signature ‘Blue’ badging and larger, 12-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels with unique blue centre caps. A Sony six-disc CD multichanger is also provided as standard.
Celica Premium Blue models further benefit from a sunroof and climate control automatic air conditioning for just £500 more. The cars are offered in Astral Black or optional Crystal Silver and Lagoon Blue metallic finishes.
The on-the-road prices are £18,645 for the Celica Blue and £19,145 for the Celica Premium Blue, representing excellent value for money. The Celica Blue comes with £1,000 worth of extra features, yet is priced at just £500 more than the Celica Style model. Likewise, the Celica Premium Blue benefits from additional equipment worth £1,500, but costs just £1,000 more than the regular Celica Style and Premium model on which it is based.
Both Celica Blue models are powered by Toyota’s acclaimed 140bhp 1.8-litre VVT-i engine, matched to a six-speed manual gearbox. Nought to 62mph can be dispatched in 8.7 seconds, yet up to 36.7mpg can be achieved in combined cycle driving.
