Toyota recently released the new Noah and Voxy, the two are slightly different in naming and configuration, but both belong to the same platform sister models, can be regarded as the same model, so Toyota will release both at the same time. For Toyota, the Noah is a mainstream model, while the Voxy is an upgraded version based on the Noah. At the same time as the release of the base model, Toyota even released the GR Sport version, but the Sport version is only a sport on the "kit".
In the bones, Toyota's new Noah and Voxy are based on the TNGA-C platform, and these two cars are not strangers to the Japanese market, and since the launch of the first model in 2001, the 2022 model is already the fourth generation. In terms of styling, in fact, Toyota has not greatly adjusted the posture of the new car, retaining the style of this mini MPV square head, but has been updated in the front face, surround, and headlights, so that the two cars look particularly like the mini version of alpha - and the more they look, the more they look like.
It can be seen that the interior design of the new car is actually not too brilliant, but it is also in line with Toyota's consistent plastic style. In the Japanese market consumer pragmatic and even some do not pick and choose to use the car attitude, such a design may be quite high-end, especially in the low-end model has introduced the 8-inch touch screen is also a conscience configuration, in the high configuration can even be selected 10.5 inch screen, in addition to Toyota also added a lot of intelligent assistance system, so that the configuration of the vehicle is closer to the modern car.
In the layout of the interior, the new car uses a 7-seat layout, but it may be more realistic to ride 4 people, the third row to pull the goods backwards, if you really use the third row to pull people, then in fact, the riding experience will not be much better than Wuling Hongguang, or even worse. In fact, although Toyota's official publicity on many occasions emphasized the car's ability to carry people, it did not forget to mention its ability to carry goods.
In terms of powertrain, the fuel versions of Noah and Voxy use a 2.0-liter powertrain, matching the CVT. In addition, a hybrid powertrain based on a 1.8-liter engine is also available, which is sufficient for a small MPV, whether it is a fuel version or a hybrid version, which is enough, at least far beyond the K-Car. For the use of the Japanese domestic market, the power level of the new car is even a bit wasteful.
For this kind of car, which can be said to be almost the exclusive supply of the Japanese market, it may be far away from us, but such a model may not really be suitable for the use of domestic first- and second-tier cities. When all manufacturers are vigorously developing MPV in China, this small size multi-purpose and has surpassed the "surface" of the MPV of that year, as long as the pricing is accurate, it can still meet the needs of differentiation, and there may really be some living space.
