Once a few wars, now Toyota is the most bullish.
Other manufacturers suffered market failures only because of FAW Toyota Group C P.
The result of the fierce competition in Japanese trucks is that there is serious homogenization, so what does the situation look like for Japanese buses? Today let's talk about the Toyota Coaster. Faw Toyota Coaster not only has an atmospheric appearance, but also has a very low failure rate. Once the most sought-after model for governments and enterprises, stable vehicle condition is the biggest advantage. Now this car is called Costa in FAW Toyota, personally feel that there is no Coaster smooth mouth, let's take a look at the original 89 version of toyota Coaster EX.
89 version of Toyota original Coaster EX bus
In fact, Toyota Motor was not established for a long time, although its founder, Kiichiro Toyoda, traveled to Europe and the United States as early as 1929 to learn about the automotive industry. However, it was not until 1937 that Toyota Motor was officially established independently, and was previously only a division of Toyota Industries.
Toyota introduced a bus model in 1969 with the same power configuration as the Toyota Dyna light truck. The first-generation early models were powered by a 2-liter Toyota R engine with a 4-speed manual transmission. Later models are equipped with a much richer engine, whether diesel or gasoline, 4 or 6 cylinders, and are equipped with automatic transmissions.
The latest FAW Toyota Costa Coaster
The first generation of domestic FAW Toyota Coaster was produced in Sichuan, and in 1998 FAW and Toyota began to establish a joint venture factory, and the vehicle was introduced to the market at the end of 2000. With the joint blessing of FAW's strong channels and Toyota's excellent models, it has been welcomed by local governments and enterprises as soon as it was listed.
Today's protagonist is the second-generation Toyota Coaster, whose production cycle is from 1982 to 1992. Although the old model is biased towards toughness, familiar friends can also see it at a glance, after all, the overall style has not changed. This is also the insistence of many Japanese models, as long as there is still a market, even if there is a small modification, even if the OEM will stick to it.
The overall paint of the vehicle is brown, but contrary to the current mainstream bright color, the matte of the whole car is relatively low-key. The wide single-block front windshield bends backwards on both sides, and the A-pillar moves backwards to increase the driver's field of vision, paired with a down-side one-arm wiper. The raised roof belongs to the EX Luxury Edition model, and the ordinary model is a flat roof. The slightly convex front face feels very familiar, and like the front face of the Mazda Titan light truck just introduced, it seems that the inner roll does not distinguish between a bus or a truck.
There should be a Toyota logo in the middle of the white front face in the middle of the front, just in time for the completion of the new logo design in 1989. It is said that this car is marked with a triple meaning, first three rings represent infinity, secondly the inner ring two rings form the shape of the initial "Toyota" "T", and finally the ring as a whole looks like a steering wheel.
The middle under the front face is a striped black intake grille with Toyota's "TOYOTA" logo in the middle. On both sides are a pair of square headlamps, the outer corner of the headlamp is the upper turn signal under the contour light, the square shape in a circle lamp becomes a clear stream. At the bottom is a bumper that blends into the body, and the three hollows in the middle can be used as boarding pedals.

The right side of the body
You can see that there is an "OK" window on the left side near the front of the car, I don't know if such a small window driver will look hard, the front of the left body is an automatic door to facilitate passengers to get up and down. As a right-hand drive car, there is a special door in the driver's position on the right side of the body, and the side windows can be pushed and pulled back and forth. The mirror on the right is on the door, and the mirror on the right swings forward, which is combined to facilitate the driver's observation.
Boarding from the driver's side, you can see that the front seats are in a 1+1+1 layout. There is also a small foldable chair in the middle of the main and vice-back adjustable seats, with boarding armrests and storage slots on the doors.
The steering wheel is the mainstream Japanese V-shaped two-spoke steering wheel, and unlike domestic ones, there is no horn button installed. In the middle of the front dashboard is a circular speed gauge, with a water temperature meter and fuel gauge on the left and various functional indicators on the right. On the right side of the meter is the functional area, and the left multimedia area has a powerful one in addition to the radio. The old reversing image has never been seen, just to the left of the multimedia area like a small TV.

The small seat on the side of the co-pilot can be folded and folded, and in front of the co-pilot is the air conditioner outlet and storage compartment. Looking at the OK window at the left foot, I personally feel that it does not make much sense.
The vehicle's 4-liter Toyota diesel engine is under the drum in the middle of the main co-pilot, with a 5-speed manual transmission.
The seat layout in the passenger area is right 2 left 1 and last 4, and the double seats have small chairs that can be folded and put away near the aisle. Seeing this design, I didn't think it was a luxury bus, and the first thing that came to mind was a small public, which contained a total of 29 seats of folding chairs. There is a luggage rack on the right side of the roof and air conditioning vents on both sides.
Single tire on the front wheel is 5 screw fixed and has a free-standing suspension.
Rear wheel twin 6 screw fixed, air suspension.
To say that the luxury of this car looks at the suspension, the front wheels are free-standing suspension is normal, and you can also see the engine chassis protective shell on the side. The rear wheels are strong, the air suspension asks you if you are comfortable, and there is a spare tire at the bottom of the rear.

The simple and atmospheric rear end, the wide rear windshield, and the eye-catching camera above the glass are all proof that this Toyota Coaster EX is worthy of the name of luxury. The windshield is specially equipped with a one-arm wiper, which is rare. In the middle of the lower rear cover is the Toyota logo, and the last row of seats can be seen when the lid is opened.
