The Camry, which is the largest car exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store locations, is slightly larger, and based on appearance packages, offers the same luxury or performance features found in the Premio or Allion.

Wood trim and chrome accents give the Premio an elegant look while the Allion is considered to be a sporty or executive type car.

The Allion can be specced with front spoilers and rear mounted trunk wings, as well as ground effect body parts to enhance the vehicles appearance which are specially designed and sold by Toyota.

The Allion continues the Toyota tradition by being made in taxi usage, driving school and law enforcement versions.

The 2.0-liter model received a CVT; the smaller engines were each fitted with a four-speed torque converter automatic transmission.

The second generation Premio and Allion were introduced on 4 June 2007, with Toyota continuing to offer appearance modifications at local dealerships.

The Premio and Allion were revised on 20 April 2010 with more aggressive and sharper looking headlights and twin LED tail lights with the interior remaining somewhat same.

A stop-start idling mechanism was added, bringing fuel economy up to 18.2 km/L (43 mpg‑US; 51 mpg‑imp) on the JC08 cycle, which meant that the front-wheel drive 1.5-litre version became eligible for a special Eco-car tax reduction.

[9] At the same time, "bi-beam" LED headlights and the collision avoidance system called "Toyota Safety Sense C" were introduced, adopting a styling influence from the larger, more prestigious S210 series Crown.

Introduced at the Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2020, the Chinese-market Allion (Chinese: 亚洲狮; pinyin: Yàzhōushī; lit.

'Asian Lion', originally "傲澜" (pinyin: Àolán); the change was made because the latter name may sound offensive to Teochew dialect speakers)[10] was developed by the FAW Toyota joint venture.

Larger dimensions meant the Allion slots between the Corolla and the Avalon which is called the "A+ class sedan" segment in China.
