Toyota premium. "Toyota Premio" (Toyota Premio): specifications, advantages and disadvantages

The Japanese automobile company Toyota is famous for its quality cars. In Russia, the products of this brand enjoy well-deserved popularity among motorists, due to their quality, comfort, unpretentiousness in maintenance and relatively low cost. The highest level of sales of cars of this brand was recorded in the Far East, due to its geographical proximity to Japan. It is also worth noting that the availability of vehicles of the secondary market of the Land of the Rising Sun played an important role. Spare parts for Toyota are sold in large quantities and for a moderate fee. As you know, in Japan, therefore, cars for the domestic market are produced only with a right-hand drive.

A bit of history

The brightest representatives of the Japanese car company in our market include the front-wheel drive Toyota Premium sedan, which has earned respect from many Russian motorists. At the moment, the second generation of the model is being produced, the production of which was launched in 2007. Unfortunately, this model is not officially supplied to our market, however, as a right-hand drive version, it is widely used in the Far East.

The release of Premio began in 2001. Since the launch of mass production and to the present, this model has not lost its relevance both in terms of design and equipment level. Toyota Premium (price about 550 thousand rubles) is positioned as a C-class sedan. And this means that the car is roomy and comfortable, with a high level of equipment.

In Russia, this segment of cars is characterized by fierce competition. To win your any model you need to offer something extraordinary. One of the important advantages of Premio is the possibility of completing all-wheel drive in certain versions. In harsh Russian conditions, this gives an undoubted advantage to the driver, combined with a high level of car comfort, making it very popular in its segment.

Toyota Premium: engines

Depending on the configuration, this model is equipped with engines of various sizes: from 1.5 to 2.0 liters. They develop power from 109 to 155 horsepower. In general, regardless of the type of engine, Toyota Premio does not suffer from a lack of acceleration dynamics, and the driver can feel confident in any driving situation. However, conventionally, the types of power units can be divided into separate categories:


Technical characteristics of "Toyota Premium"

The model has several types of transmission, these are mechanical and automatic transmissions. Fuel consumption, respectively, depends on the type of engine and its modification. The average fuel consumption is represented by the following figures:

  • 7-8.5 liters of fuel - on a suburban highway;
  • 10-13.5 liters - in the city.

Driving style also plays a big role. It is on this feature that the indicator of gasoline consumption depends, and it varies both upward and downward. 150 millimeters allows you to confidently storm small urban bumps and not particularly worry about the condition of the bottom of the car.

Exterior

The exterior of the car is distinguished by a combination of harmony and grace. The assembly quality of the body panels is at a traditionally high level, the smoothness of the lines immediately arouses sympathy. The body design turned out to be so successful that after a considerable number of years it has not lost its relevance and is still quite modern. Head optics deserves special attention. It is truly huge. The shape is somewhat reminiscent of a parallelepiped. Both the front and rear lights project gracefully onto the fenders.

However, for car enthusiasts who want to give their car an originality, service stations offer tuning. Toyota Premium is one of the few models whose parts are sold in a large assortment.

Interior

When finishing the interior, high-quality materials were used, creating a cozy atmosphere in the car. Soft plastic on the front panel contributes not only to an increase in the level of acoustics, but also to the overall comfort of driving a car. In terms of interior space, Toyota Premium is a typical representative of its segment. And this means that 5 people of average build can be accommodated in the cabin with sufficient comfort.

The instrument panel is ergonomic. Looking at it, you understand that everything is placed here in the most successful way. To the right of the steering wheel are buttons responsible for the remote opening of windows, trunk and door locks. Ventilation ducts are located in the middle of the panel. The steering wheel is not functional, the company logo flaunts in the middle of the horn. Immediately behind it you can see the on-board computer, speedometer, tachometer, etc.

Safety

"Toyota Premium" in terms of safety in standard equipment offers ABS wheels and airbags for the driver and passengers. After conducting independent testing, this model was awarded a high score. Such results allow us to rightfully consider the car safe.

Aerodynamic properties

The behavior of Toyota Premio on the road can be described in one word - stability. This concept is present in all aspects of management:

  • in keeping straight;
  • in the susceptibility of the track;
  • in cornering;
  • in motion at high speed.

It is these characteristics that allow the driver to feel confident in different driving situations.

It has a high smoothness of motion, which is a definite plus in conditions of poor quality roads. The suspension ignores road imperfections, up to medium sizes. But on large defects in the canvas, it makes a characteristic sound.

Summing up

The price range varies depending on the region where the car is located and the year of its production. In the secondary market, Toyota Premium has high liquidity and loses little in value over time. All this is due to the excellent combination of such criteria as price-quality, rich equipment, passenger and driver safety, high maintainability, as well as the reliability of the main components and assemblies.

Toyota Premium, 2005

The Japanese auto industry is a great force. Especially "Toyota", everything is thought out well, conveniently, and what is the strangest thing, it does not break down, it starts up in the cold, it warms up quickly, in general, the ideal price-quality ratio. Engine 1.8 132 hp quite enough for the city, a spacious lounge (the rear seats are comfortable for everyone). Of the shortcomings of the Toyota Premio, after the Corolla it is noisy, the engine is audible, plus the rear shelf strums, but this is all fixable, and I’m already used to it, again, regular CD music, a cassette player, 4 speakers and 2 tweeters delight the ear. You don't need more to listen to the radio. Pleases regular xenon, nice to go at night. The operating costs are very pleasing, about 10 liters per 100 km in the city (with smooth movement), and the choice of “consumables” is rich, for example, if you want the original cabin filter 1100 rubles, if you want the non-original 600 rubles. Korean, well, everything in that vein. In general, a good, spacious car, a la Avensis, only of Japanese assembly, and a slightly modified body shape. If you want a solid family car that will not let you down and will drive you until you just get bored (and not because of breakdowns), then Toyota Premio is a very good option. The price-quality ratio is perfect.

Advantages : reliable. Beautiful. A modern car to get from point A to point B.

Flaws : soundproofing.

Toyota Premium, 2004

This car was purchased at a Japanese auction in the summer of 2008 with an estimate of 4B. At the end of August, Toyota Premio was delivered by car transporter to Krasnoyarsk. The car looks quite respectable. Long body, large rear doors, molding in a circle, additional lights on the trunk lid, chrome door handles, a radiator grille and a trim above the rear number. Despite the "consumer needs" of color, the car is always pleasing to the eye. Salon is quite roomy. The design of the torpedo, in my opinion, was chosen very well: a black top (soft plastic), a cream bottom and woodgrain inserts between them. Light colors, chrome parts in the cabin, leather-trimmed steering wheel and shift knobs always cheer you up. Optitron "tidy" creates a feeling of scales hanging in the air and flying arrows. There are enough different departments, drawers and glove compartments in the cabin. The main glove compartment is illuminated, lined with dark velor and opens smoothly with the help of a pneumatic cylinder. All power windows with "Auto" mode and protection against pinching, the windows are lowered to the end. Electric mirrors, fold with a button, have heating. Engine 2 liters 152 hp with the terrible abbreviation D-4. What is it I knew long before buying Toyota Premio. For a mass of 1240 kg, the power is quite enough. Compared to the 1ZZ, it is noisier, but the noise from it in the cabin is noticeable only after 3000 rpm. While parked in "D" there is a slight vibration, but I always drive with the dimensions on (revs increase slightly), so the vibration does not bother me. The engine braking mode slows down the car to a speed of 20 km/h. In sports mode, the car goes wild, significantly sharpens the reaction to the "gas", the speed increases sharply and stays around 3000, even when you do not touch the gas pedal. The variator maintains a speed of 120 km / h at 2100 rpm. Suspension moderately soft, moderately hard. Ground clearance is 16 cm, which allows wheel parking to most curbs.

Advantages : solid design. Comfortable salon. Controllability. Suspension work.

Flaws : no serious.

Toyota Premium, 2005

They drove Toyota Premio from Novosibirsk to Omsk together (600 km or 9 hours). On the highway, they refueled only 1 time and, having reached Omsk, they were surprised that there were still 30 liters of gasoline left in the tank. The machine was very playful. From a standstill, it simply “tears”, acceleration to 100 km / h in less than 10 seconds. Over 100 km / h in the cabin you can hear the sound of the engine. We drove at a speed of 120-150 km / h along the highway - to be honest, 150 km / h and above is already scary to drive a Toyota Premio, the car starts to throw a lot to the sides. For 9 hours of continuous driving, we did not get tired at all - a very comfortable car. The suspension, for the city, is just perfect, soft - it swallows pits with a bang, no discomfort (a relative of the Corolla, 2003 onwards, rolled on Premio - says "heaven and earth"). Upon arrival in Omsk, the pads creaked almost immediately - I had to go and change them. I really like the machine, although the interior is bright, but oddly enough, it hasn’t gotten dirty all this time, the lining on the driver’s door and on the central armrest is only slightly worn. Toyota Premio does not eat oil at all. And for the entire period of operation of Toyota Premio, nothing has changed in it yet. Now it is spring, I noticed that the anthers of the shock absorber were torn - I will go to change and at the same time I will make a running diagnostics. Gasoline pour only 92nd. I really like the machine. Especially since she's so unpretentious.

Advantages : comfort. Reliability. Unpretentiousness.

Flaws : like no.

Born to Win - 4:57

The 4Runner TRD Pro is not just a next-generation SUV - it's an off-road conqueror. This is what the front of the car “screams” about, and in particular the radiator grille.

Increased off-road traction with impeccable comfort is provided by a suspension lift: the front is raised by a little more than 30 mm, the rear by 25 mm. It is due to this that the angle of entry has increased. Of course, TRD hasn't forgotten about the suspension either, replacing every single coil spring with legendary Bilstein shocks. And all this "salad" was filled with the Part-time all-wheel drive scheme. An additional lever allows you to select the desired mode of the transfer case.

Toyota Premio in Japan belongs to the class of budget cars. And since it has a relatively affordable price, and real Japanese quality, it is in high demand in Russia. Therefore, it seems that the Toyota Premium review will be of interest to the widest range of motorists.

Model History

Since 1957, in the niche of mid-size budget sedans, Toyota has been producing the Toyota Corona model. This niche is quite voluminous, so the car has always been in high demand on the Japanese islands.

Toyota Corona first generation

In the 90s, under the name Crown, in Japan, a well-known model was sold in our country - Toyota Carina E.

The last, tenth generation of the Crown was named Toyota Corona Premio. And instead of the eleventh generation, the first generation of the new Toyota Premio model appeared.

It began to be produced even before the end of production of the Crown, at the very end of 2001. Along with the Premio, a twin of this Toyota Allion model also went on sale. Despite the fact that the machines were actually twins, they were guided by different audiences. The Allion had a simpler design and was slightly cheaper than the Premium. The main buyers for this car, as conceived by the managers of the Japanese company, were to be young Japanese who did not have enough money.


Toyota Premio first generation

Toyota Premio looked richer and cost more. The main buyers for this model were to be the more affluent Japanese of the middle generation.

The first generation of the model had a wide range of power units and fairly rich equipment. The car was sold quite smartly, including in our country. Even today, the first generation Premium, in the East of our country, can be found quite often. Yes, and we sell enough of them.

Having stood on the assembly line for 6 years, 2007 year, the first generation replaced the second. Despite the fact that the car differed radically from the previous generation, the continuity between the models is visible to the naked eye.


Toyota Premium second generation

As for the technical stuffing, from the second generation all-wheel drive appears on cars for the first time, as well as new generation engines.

In 2010, the first restyling of Toyota Premio took place. The main changes in the 2010 Toyota Premio mainly affected the exterior of the car. The car has changed towards greater aggressiveness and sportiness.


Toyota Premio second generation after restyling

In 2016, the car underwent a second restyling and we will consider the 2016 Toyota Premium in more detail in this article.

Appearance

Before restyling, Premio had, let's say, straight, faceless, average design. Without looking at the name, you will never guess which model is in front of you. Now Toyota Premio has a bright original appearance.

The front of the car is decorated with a large chrome grille, which will now immediately highlight the car in city traffic. Head optics have significantly decreased in size, and look much more stylish.

But the lateral projection is still the same featureless and averaged as before. Look, really, there is nothing to cling to. But, despite this, the car remained very harmonious and looks quite soundly.

Behind the Japanese sedan, everything is also sad. The only detail that pleases the eye is the chrome handle for opening the trunk lid.

Summarizing the impressions of the appearance of the car, we can say that the designers threw all their forces into the front of the car, and it, without any exaggeration, was a success. And the Japanese simply didn’t get their hands on the rest of the sedan, or they didn’t have enough imagination.

dimensions

This model of the Japanese company belongs to the golf class. In our country, Toyota sells Corolla in this class, and Avensis in Europe. Although at the same time, the Premium is still slightly smaller than the cars mentioned above and has the following dimensions:

  • Length - 4595 mm;

The premium car is a budget car, however, the Japanese, at least in expensive trim levels, tried to give it the charm of more expensive models. Expensive machine configurations, such as 2.0G EX Package, have a leather interior, the front panel and door cards are trimmed with wood veneer. The interior has a lot of polished metal details.

As for the front console, its upper part is occupied by a large color LCD display, very well integrated into the design of the front panel. A little lower is the climate control unit.

The instrument panel on the sedan is analog, however, between the speedometer and tachometer scales there is a small display that displays information about the operation of the car's systems.


Front panel Toyota Premium

There is enough space for rear passengers. The Japanese mean the arrangement of three passengers in the rear seats (Toyota Premium on the back sofa has three headrests), but perhaps only small Japanese can sit more or less comfortably in the back. But two passengers of a normal European physique will settle down with great comfort. A comfortable armrest with cup holders extends from the rear sofa.


Toyota Premio Rear Sofa

Trunk the Japanese sedan is quite large, its volume is 490 liters. At the same time, the cargo compartment can be significantly increased by folding the rear seat backs. And it will then be 860 liters in volume. By the way, the rear seats fold in a ratio of 60:40.

In the 1.8 X L Package, the 2016 car can be purchased for 1,365,000 rubles ($12,200).

    The 2017 Toyota Premio is naturally more expensive, with prices starting at 1,320,000 rubles ($11,800). These are almost new cars, with a range of up to 20,000 km. True, such cars are mainly brought exclusively to order. Because they are probably overpriced. New Toyota Premio are not imported to Russia. And I think for one reason that new Corollas are sold in Russia, which have a left-hand drive and warranty obligations, which no one can give to cars from Japan.
