Toyota Estima 4WD | Petrol & Hybrid e-Four 7-8 Seat

关于

Toyota Estima 4WD from Japan The Toyota Estima 4WD is one of the most practical large people movers Japan has built, and it was never sold here in all-wheel-drive form. It comes in two quite different configurations: the 2.4-litre petrol 4WD with a conventional automatic, and the Hybrid E-Four, which pairs the same 2.4-litre Atkinson-cycle engine with an electric motor on the rear axle. Every one in this collection was selected at auction by our own branch in Osaka, imported under our own licence, and complied in-house at our Dandenong workshop. Petrol 4WD or Hybrid E-Four The petrol cars use a mechanical all-wheel-drive system and a torque-converter automatic. They are simpler, cheaper to buy, and the drivetrain is about as proven as anything Toyota makes. The Hybrid E-Four has no driveshaft running to the back at all — an electric motor drives the rear wheels the moment the fronts start to slip, which makes it quick to react on wet bitumen and gravel. Neither version is a low-range off-roader. Buy a Toyota Estima 4WD for wet roads, gravel, snow trips and boat ramps rather than for tracks. Fuel Use The Japanese JC08 rating for the Estima Hybrid E-Four is 18.0 km/L (about 5.6 L/100 km). The petrol 4WD models carry a lower manufacturer rating that varies by model year and grade, so each listing states the figure for that particular car. The hybrid's advantage is largest in stop-start traffic and smallest at highway speed, which is worth weighing against the higher purchase price before you choose between them. Inside A low-floor cabin, power sliding doors, second-row captain's chairs with ottoman leg support on most grades, and a third row that folds away to the sides for a flat load floor. Both seven and eight-seat layouts come through, and each listing states which. Equipment varies considerably between grades and model years — Aeras, Aeras Premium, Aeras G Edition and X are all different cars in terms of fitment — so read the individual listing rather than assumin
