The fifth generation Sprinter was based on the 1983 fifth generation [[Toyota Corolla (E80)|E80 Corolla]] range. Like the Corolla, the model line was split into [[front wheel drive|FWD]] and [[rear wheel drive|RWD]] models.

Unlike the 5-door liftback which had minimum exterior differences, the E80 Sprinter sedan was designed with different sheet metal on the rear part. It got two additional windows on the C-pillars and different tail lamps which was placed a little higher due the higher boot position. The 3/5-door "FX" hatchbacks were not available for Sprinter. From this generation forward, the 2-door coupé and 3-door liftback body styles were now exclusive to the [[Toyota Sprinter Trueno|Sprinter Trueno/Corolla Levin]] range.

In October 1984, a high performance GT model was added to the line up and only available as sedan.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60009026B/index.html|title=Sprinter E80 liftback|publisher=Toyota}}</ref> It was powered by a 1.6 L DOHC 16-valve ''4A-GELU'' engine, the same engine that was similar to the 1.6 L ''4A-GEU'' engine that powered the popular AE86 Sprinter Trueno/Corolla Levin. Minor facelifts occurred with new exterior styling in May 1985. The 1.3 L ''2A-LU'' and 1.6 L ''4A-ELU'' engines were also discontinued, with the former being replaced by the 12-valve 1.3 L ''2E-LU'' engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.toyota-global.com/company/history_of_toyota/75years/vehicle_lineage/car/id60009026A/index.html|title=Sprinter E80 sedan|publisher=Toyota}}</ref>

The four-door sedan and the five-door liftback were also manufactured in [[Fremont, California]] and sold for the North American market under the resurrected name of [[Chevrolet Nova#Fifth|Chevrolet Nova]], the first of several Toyotas built by [[General Motors]] known as their [[GM S platform|S-platform]] under license at [[NUMMI]].
