In β trim, four-wheel disc brakes and TEMS electronically controlled suspension can be selected as options.
A convertible model was shown at the October 1995 Tokyo Motor Show[3] and was released for sale in August 1996.
The second-generation Paseo was sold in the United Kingdom from 1996 to 1998, but was withdrawn due to slow sales.
The UK market Paseo was offered in three trim levels: the base ST, the Si; adding 14-inch alloy wheels, a Sony CD player, color-coded boot spoiler with third brake light and an anti-lock braking system, and the Galliano, adding a color-coded chin spoiler, mud guards and yellow paintwork with aquamarine decals on the bodysides, as well as wider 15-inch alloy wheels with low-profile 195/50 tires.
The β trim came with a 5E-FHE engine, producing 110 PS (81 kW), fitted either to a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic.
[4] From October 1996, the ASC-built convertible version was also offered in Japan, with both the 1.3- and 1.5-liter engines (the 1.5 only in conjunction with the automatic transmission).
[4] Production of both the Paseo and Cynos were discontinued in July 1999 (sales in Japan continued until December).
