MUV/MPV Cars

The Buying Experience The Buying Experience was subpar. Toyota has gotten extremely greedy. The new employees who are a direct lift from maruti Suzuki make you feel that Toyota-Suzuki have gotten into a partnership, particularly with the 4 non-Toyota cars. I had booked my car for February 2024 and was told the car would be allotted around 6 months, till August. There was no news of the car, and in between our SA quit, we weren't even informed about the new SA allotted to us. During the final month before September, the SA and the whole team pressed us to do a down payment, and as our loan was getting disbursed, we asked for a few days. They said the car can be in the Toyota godown for only 5 days, post that they de-allot the car. They de allotted our car, I had to get in touch with Lakozy Toyota's sales VP, who sorted things out. Driving Experience The car drives like a breeze, the car has excellent stability, and it irons out all potholes, bumps. We drove from Mumbai -Pune and back in the same day. The car made us feel comfortable, we were never tired. It's rick solid at triple-digit speed. The Hybrid system is also a winner. Looks and performance The car produces 183 bhp from a 2.0 Na petrol engine, it is the same engine used in a European spec Toyota Corolla Cross, Corolla Touring Sport, and the Corolla sedan. It's a workhorse and is time-tested. The car has a very JDM character to its handling, ride, and power delivery. Service and Maintenance I have finished my first service, which was a normal check-up. The next happens around 10,000km this September. Service is a boon as it's a Toyota, I have been a Toyota customer for the past 17+ years, no complaints on that. Pros and Cons Pros:- -Spacious Cabin - Great ride quality - NVH is Exemplary - seats are plus - great high-speed stability - Has great convenience features Cons:- -Mediocre tires (Good year triple max assurance) need Yokohama or Michelin Primacy 4 -Atrocious headlights, absolutely horrendous - should be a crime to use reflector-based LED s like Hyundai and Kia group. My Crysta had better LED projectors. - Cheap wipers, got them replaced with Fortuner's. -Have to be careful with 18-inch alloys, the 2-tonne weight makes them easy to damage over very bad potholes.
