new toyota wish 2016

Twenty years ago, when the MPV was still an in-thing, Honda launched the Stream. Three years later, in 2003, Toyota launched its own challenger into the ring, the Wish. Both these MPVs were a delight among families who wanted an MPV that gave off a sporty presence. They were once commonly seen on Malaysian roads, and perhaps some of you reading this might even grow up with one. Eventually, the idea of a car-like MPV evolved into crossover SUVs as both the Toyota Wish and Honda Stream saw sales d

Tidak dinafikan, zaman kegemilangan MPV mula merudum tetapi ia masih belum berakhir. Akibat daripada kemuncak zaman emas MPV tersebut, beberapa MPV masih mempunyai penangan yang hebat sehinggalah ke hari ini. Antaranya, Toyota Wish! Dibangunkan sejak 20 tahun yang lalu, Toyota Wish mencapai kesempurnaan pada generasi kedua yang dilancarkan pada tahun 2009 di Jepun. Walaupun generasi ini tidak dibawa masuk secara rasmi, Toyota Wish tetap ligat berkeliaran di jalan raya Malaysia. Kini 12 tahun sel

20 tahun yang lalu, apabila kereta MPV tengah mencanak naik popularitinya, Honda melancarkan Stream. Tiga tahun selepas itu, pada tahun 2003, Toyota pula melancarkan pesaingnya iaitu Wish. Kedua-dua MPV ini menjadi kegemaran di kalangan keluarga yang mahukan sebuah MPV yang menonjolkan gaya ‘sporty’. Ia sering dilihat meluncur megah di jalanraya Malaysia, dan mungkin ada dikalangan pembaca yang membesar dengan kereta ini. Lama kelamaan, kereta seperti MPV berkembang menjadi SUV crossover. Angka

20年前，当MPV还十分流行时，Honda不失时机地推出了Stream。在3年后的2003年，Toyota也推出了一款同级市场的竞争者——Wish。 对于那些想要一辆姿态更运动的MPV的家庭来说，这两款MPV都是很不错的选择。曾几何时，它们是马来西亚路上常见的一道风景，或许正在阅读这篇文章的你，就是从小跟着这辆车长大的。 最终，这个轿车型MPV的概念被跨界SUV所替代，而Toyota Wish和Honda Stream两者的销量都开始下降，并最终结束了其14年的历史。那么，这两款曾经大卖的MPV到底发生了什么呢？ Honda Stream：一款7人座的Civic Honda Stream于2000年在日本首发，定位为运动型7人座车型。它在很大程度上是基于第七代的Honda Civic开发的，只不过为了放下第三排座椅，车身被拉长了。 第一代的Stream定位在Odyssey之下，它有着十分独特的造型，就像是发福了的Civic（或是超重了的Civic“面包车”）。 这款车于2001年引进大马市场，从印尼进行整车进口。大马规格的Stream有两具引擎可选，分别为一具1.7升的D17 VTEC

For a start, the W213 generation model features Mercedes’s new “Sensual Purity” design language, with the biggest change to the front and rear end. Up front, there are new LED headlights, a new bumper, and a new wider grille, which gives it a slightly sporty outlook compared to the sedate front end of the old one. Typical of Mercedes-Benz, th

Photos depicting the new 2020 Toyota Hilux have emerged on social media, just moments after its SUV sibling, the Fortuner, was unmasked. Thanks to MZ Crazy Car’s Facebook page, we now have a pretty good look at how the Hilux facelift is shaping up. For starters, there is a good chance that the Hilux’s front-end will be completely redesigned with a much larger front grille, likely inspired by the US-market Toyota Tundra.

All it took was 7 minutes and a group of Malaysians to lift a Toyota Wish that double parked and blocked a Perodua Myvi from coming out of its parking space. From the video, it appears that the Myvi driver got the attention of one passerby, who later got more help from other passersby. Amazingly, the group of men found lifts to lift the Toyota Wish and repositioned the MPV, allowing the Myvi to exit. Watch the full video here.

The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated heart of the 2019 Toyota Yaris is a familiar unit. The 2NR-FE engine is one that powers the Toyota Vios and has been in use since UMW Toyota gave the sedan an update in 2016. Back then, UMW claims that the new engine was an effort for better fuel efficiency, and the Yaris definitely proves itself to be a fuel sipping car. Mated to a CVT with seven sequential gears, the Yaris’ engine produces 107 PS and 140 Nm, 13 PS less than Honda Jazz. It’s hardly the fastest

The previous generation XU60 Toyota Harrier was quite a car.

Among all force-induction four bangers, the 8AR-FTS revved and pulled most like a naturally-aspirated engine. Dynamically, it was superior to the entry Mercedes-Benz GLC 200.
