The Toyota Curren (Japanese: トヨタ・カレン, Toyota Karen) is a sport compact coupé built by Toyota from 1994 to 1998. It is based on the T200 series Celica chassis. It shared the same interior and rear end design as the Celica coupé. Instead of having four round headlamps like the Celica, it has a rectangular headlamp design providing a more traditional halogen headlamp appearance. Modifying the appearance of the Celica allowed Toyota to sell the Curren at Toyota Vista Store locations, as the Celica was exclusive to Corolla Store locations. The Curren directly replaced the T160 series Corona Coupé, which was exclusive to Toyopet Store locations.
The name "Curren" is derived from English word "current".
