In May 1970, the Sprinter was released as the sister car of the second generation [[Toyota Corolla E20|Corolla]] coupé, as the coupé was no longer exclusive to Sprinter. Toyota had promised its ''[[Toyota Corolla Store]]'' dealers in Japan that they would receive exclusive rights to sell the Corolla. In order to sell through the ''Toyota Auto Store'' dealer network, the Sprinter was no longer bearing Corolla nameplate, even though the differences were mostly cosmetic. The wagon/van version of Corolla (KE26/TE28V) was not available for the Sprinter.<ref name="VIMCorE20">{{cite web|url=http://members.iinet.net.au/~stepho/crllaprd.htm#corolla2pr|title=Toyota Vehicle Identification Manual|publisher=Japan: Toyota Motor Corporation – Overseas Parts Department. 1984.

The ''3K/3K-B'' engines were inherited from the previous generation, with additional high compression single carburettor ''3K-D'' and low compression dual carburetors ''3K-BR'' engines. A 1407&nbsp;cc ''T'' engine was added to the line up in September 1970, followed by more powerful ''T-B/BR/D'' engines for sporty SL/SR models which could be paired with new 5-speed manual transmission option in April 1971. The 4-door sedan version of Sprinter debuted in August 1971, together with the facelifted coupé.<ref name="SprinterE20">{{cite web|url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60008708/index.html|title=Toyota Sprinter Coupé (E20)|publisher=Toyota}}</ref> The coupé range received the 1588 cc, [[DOHC]] ''2T-G'' engine in March 1972; this model was known as the [[Toyota Sprinter Trueno|Sprinter Trueno]], the twin of the Corolla Levin. Another facelift occurred in August 1972 and the 5-speed manual became available for the sporty SL/SR grades with 1.2 L ''3K-B/BR'' engine. The OHV dual carburetors version of ''2T-G'' engine called ''2T-B/BR'' was launched in April 1973 specially for SL, SR and cheaper model of Sprinter Trueno called the "Sprinter Trueno J".<ref name="SprinterE20"/>
