Engine and Performance

It produces 102 bhp and 137 Nm of torque. It comes with a choice of transmission: 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic.
It never feels strong during hard acceleration, but the car has no problem with bustling through city commutes and cruising on the highway at moderate speeds.

This is a big money saver for large families or taxi operators.
Features and Equipment
The list of features is kept practical by Toyota. You receive steering mounted controls, rear AC vents, dual airbags, ABS with EBD and ISOFIX mounts (for child safety).

Ride Quality and Handling
Ride quality is good for an MPV in this price range. Suspension, too, is good, taking potholes and speed breakers in its stride.
It’s even balanced with seven passengers in the car. There’s bodyroll in those sharp bends, but it’s all part and parcel of a car this tall isn’t it?
It’s narrow for city driving and stable enough for steady driving, especially as middle-class families get out for weekend trips.
