In Japan, all Starlets except the Van were only available with the larger 1.3 litre engine the Van model retained the smaller, 1.2 litre, 3K-HJ type.
The KP62 was first seen in Sweden in July 1978, where it was equipped with the de-smogged 3K-C engine to meet that country's particular emissions requirements. The Van arrived in October 1978, at the same time that the 1.2-litre KP62 became available in most export markets. Three- and five-door hatchbacks were offered in export markets, although a longer five-door wagon variant (also known as the "Van" in the Japanese market) was sold in Japan and certain Asian and European markets. It was particularly well received in Europe, including the United Kingdom, at which time superminis were soaring in popularity. The 60 series, introduced in February 1978, was better known than its predecessor due to being the first Starlet extensively sold outside Japan. The "Starlet" nameplate was revived in 2020 for the rebadged Suzuki Baleno hatchback, sold exclusively in some African countries and India (the latter using the "Glanza" name). However, Toyota effectively vacated the European city car market until the Aygo was launched in 2005. In 1999, the Starlet was replaced by the Vitz-sold as the Echo or Yaris in international markets-and the bB mini MPV, which was later sold as the Scion xB in Canada and the United States and as the Daihatsu Materia in Europe. The Starlet was briefly exported to North America from 1981 to 1984. Another variant was the Toyota Sera, a sport compact made in the early 1990s and officially sold only in Japan the Sera had a unique two-door coupe body and butterfly doors but shared the Starlet's chassis and mechanicals. It is the first subcompact car from a Japanese automaker to offer a high-performance variant. In Japan, it was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store dealers. The first generation Starlet was sold as the Publica Starlet in some markets.
