What Should Your Next Car Have?

Are you looking for a car that not only offers solid performance but also happens to be a brand from the stables of a top-notch global major? If your reply is in the affirmative, currently the wide gamut of options available in the car market tend to make the buying decision tougher. You may end up wondering whether you are opting for the right product. However, if world-class safety mechanisms, good engineering as well as price figure at the top on your list of desirable features, then zeroing in on a Toyota Innova could be a safe bet.

The Toyota Innova is one of the products in the IMV platform that was created to meet the needs of a budget-oriented lineup. Although an economy brand in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the name Innova has become synonymous with comfort, space, quality, mileage, safety and reliability, to name just a few factors. Let's take a peek at some of the specifications of the 2017 Toyota Innova.

The 2017 Innova

An Innova offering 5-speed manual transmission serves as a base model in Saudi Arabia. Besides this, all versions of this vehicle can seat up to eight people and come with a rear seat slide mechanism to improve legroom.

At present, two 2017 versions of the Innova brand are available in the kingdom. Both the exterior as well as the interiors of the facelifted 2017 Toyota Innova XL and STD A/T versions come with major changes. These RWD Van/Wagon sedans boast several standard features, including a dual-zone manual A/C, a leatherette steering wheel, fabric seats, fog lamps, power windows, keyless entry, 15-inch steel wheels, ABS braxes, airbags for the driver and passengers, rear parking sensors, chrome door handles, and an auto-dimming mirror.

In both the versions, a 2.7-litre four-cylinder engine offers 164hp and comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission. Moreover, the XL and STD A/T versions offer a fuel economy of 11.3 KM/L. In terms of connectivity, this vehicle offers a new CD/MP3 stereo with 4 speakers as well as a USB port, Bluetooth, a CD, a 6-speaker stereo and an AUX port.

Perhaps one of the most striking features is that the chassis of the 2017 model is sturdier when compared to the previous models. The inclusion of an improved suspension has led to overall improvement in the quality of rides. In fact, the new model is a reliable companion while traversing long distances.

So, if you are looking for a comfortable but high performance vehicle, taking a look at Toyota Innova’s specifications could be a good idea.

4 Cars to Watch Out for This Final Financial Quarter

Japanese luxury car manufacturer, Toyota, has had a spectacular portfolio in 2017. The lineup includes vehicles such as the sporty Corolla and Yaris, the iconic Prius and the luxurious Avalon, all of which have been upgraded with new features. In September 2017, Saudi Arabia created history by allowing women to drive vehicles. With a female population of 14 million, where almost 50% belong to the age group of 20-50, this would be a boon for the luxury car market in the country. According to a poll conducted by Arab News/YouGov, Toyota is one of the most preferred brands among Saudi women due to its high performing sedans.

The Toyota 2017 Lineup

Toyota Prius

Available in 3 variants, premium, limited and standard, these vehicles are fitted with 1.8L V4 engines that offer mileage of 26.1km/l. The Prius is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense®, an advanced suite of safety technologies like lane departure alerts, standard pre-collision systems (PCS) and automatic high beams. The exterior is stylish, with LED headlights and tail lights and 17-inch alloy wheels. Prius also comes with an automated moon roof, which lets you enjoy the fresh air whenever you want to.

Toyota Avalon

The interiors of this car stand out with its standard leather-trimmed seats, which are French stitched. The driver’s seat is 10-way adjustable. The limited version consists of heated and ventilated front seats. While the presence of an ambient lighting system gives warmth to the interiors, noise reducing wind shields and the side windows in the front create a quiet atmosphere to relax in.

Toyota Yaris

The 3 variants, YX 1.3, Y FLT and STD, have a Euro-inspired exterior. The rear spoiler with integrated fog lights and 16 inch machined alloy wheels provide a sporty look. The white stitching on the seats is definitely eye-catching. The car looks compact but has 15.6 cu. ft. of cargo space. With a standard, versatile 60/40 split fold-down rear seat, it is an ideal family vehicle for daily use.

Unlike the 3 other models, the price of the Toyota Avalon in 2017 might seem higher but it is totally worth every penny due to its superb luxury features. The car does not compromise on safety either, thus making it a worthy choice.
