Toyota Mark II Wagon is a continuation of a series of station wagons of a 2-liter class, the history of which began in 1984. The model belongs to the fifth generation in the back of the 70th series. Having undergone minor changes during the production, this station wagon lasted almost 13 years on the assembly line - during this time two generations of the sedan were replaced. Only in 1997, the succession relay passed to the Toyota Mark II Qualis wagon, which was already built on the basis of the front-wheel drive Camry Gracia.
