1974 brought the third generation Sprinter based on the third generation [[Toyota Corolla E30|E30 Corolla]] 2-door coupé and 4-door sedan. Once again, the differences between the Corolla and Sprinter were mostly cosmetic. The sedans received a more formal upright grill, while the coupé received a sleeker, aerodynamic looking frontal treatment.

The Corolla's were given E30–38 codes while the Sprinter's were given corresponding E41–47 codes, making it the only generation that did not bear same chassis codes as Corolla. A three-door [[shooting brake]] style liftback with the coupé's front end was added to the line up in January 1976.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60008838/index.html|title=Sprinter liftback E60|publisher=Toyota}}</ref> When the Corolla range received a minor update in January 1977 to become the E50–55 series, the Sprinter received a corresponding update to become the E60–66 series, along with a hardtop coupé variant which used the sedan's frond end.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60008781/index.html|title=Sprinter sedan E40|publisher=Toyota}}</ref> In April 1978, the Sprinter received its second facelift to counter the new competitor introduced by [[Nissan]] called the [[Nissan Pulsar|Pulsar]] which was introduced a month earlier.
