The Toyota Mark II Blit (Japanese: トヨタ・マークIIブリット, Toyota Māku II Buritto) is a mid-size station wagon manufactured by the Japanese automaker Toyota. The wagon was introduced in January 2002, fifteen months after the Mark II (X110) sedan was released in October 2000. The Mark II Blit marked the return to the Mark II platform with rear-wheel drive layout with optional all-wheel drive, introduced as the replacement of the front-wheel drive Mark II Qualis, which was a rebadged XV20 series Camry Gracia wagon. The name "Blit" is taken from German word "blitz", meaning "lightning".[2]

The Mark II Blit was exclusive to the Toyota Japanese dealership Toyopet Store (except in Tokyo and Osaka, where Tokyo Toyota and Osaka Toyota dealers also carried the Blit), allowing Toyopet to continue to offer a large, prestigious station wagon.[3] Osaka Toyota became Osaka Toyopet in August 2006, aligning the sales network in this region with the rest of Japan.

The Mark II Blit uses inline six-cylinder engines with VVT-i technology, the same as its sedan counterpart. The engines used were the 2.0 L 1G-FE, 2.5 L direct injected 1JZ-FSE, 2.5 L 1JZ-GE, and 2.5 L single-turbocharged 1JZ-GTE. All of these engines were mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission, with the exception for the 1JZ-FSE engine, which was exclusively paired with a 5-speed automatic. A tor-sen LSD was available as an optional extra on all models, except for the 2.0 L rear-wheel drive model.[4]: 30 

The car was given a minor facelift in December 2004, including changes to the headlamps, grille and taillamps, which are replaced with LED units. The turbocharged 1JZ-GTE engine was discontinued in May 2006, as a result of Japan's emission standards in 2005.

The car remained in production until three years after the Mark X came out, which replaced all of Toyota's X-body sedans, the Verossa, which in turn is a successor to the Chaser and the Cresta, and the Mark II. Toyota discontinued Mark II Blit in June 2007, marking the end of the Mark II nameplate after 39 years. The wagon was succeeded by the front-wheel drive Mark X ZiO minivan in September 2007.

Trim levels

The Mark II Blit was offered in several trim levels. It is identical to the Mark II sedan's trim levels, although the Mark II Blit was not offered in the Grande trim level:[5]

There was a J Edition sub-trim for pre-facelift model, which was essentially the lesser-equipped model of the 2.5iR-S, 2.0iR Four, and 2.0iR trims (lacking features such as the self-leveling rear suspension). In May 2003, a 35th Anniversary edition based on the 2.5iR-S, 20iR Four and 2.0iR trims was released; it came with special 11-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels and a navigation system.[6] This limited edition model was later rereleased simply as Limited series in April 2004 for the same trims, and again in the December 2004 facelift for the 2.0 L models only.

Other than the Toyopet Store dealer optional add-on body kits and interior accessories,[4]: 33  there was also a separate optional package called Fortuna for the pre-facelift rear-wheel drive models, which was created by Modellista, a Toyota customization division. This package came with a standard aero front bumper, a new grille, 5-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels and a sport suspension that lowered the ride height by 15 mm (1 in). It could be further enhanced with an optional 14-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels and wing mirrors with integrated turn signals.[7] For the 2.5iR-V trim, there was an additional Fortuna Yamaha Power package. This package featured a bigger turbocharger and a stainless steel muffler, which increased the power output to 300 PS (221 kW; 296 hp) and 389 N⋅m (287 lb⋅ft; 40 kg⋅m) of torque.[8] It could be optionally enhanced with a strut brace and performance brake pads.[7]
