New Toyota Wish 2009

Since the seat belt rules has been launch since some times back, it seems like we are able to see a lot of 7 seaters MPVs begin to appear on the road these days. As we understand there're many family with more than 5 members, as such the 7 seaters transport has become the option in order not to break the law. Toyota Wish is one of the 7 seater swhich is quite popularly seen on the road.

This post is to share the new Toyota Wish which believed soon to be launch somewhere in year 2009.

The new Toyota Wish will be equiped with the new range of Dual VVT-i and Valvematic engines which appears to be more fuel saving compare with the current 2.0 D4 engine. The exact accurate comparison result will probably shows only when the actualy new Wish is launch.

The new Toyota Wish have some changes on the design. In fact if it is viewed closely, it is noticable that the design is somehow following the track of the current new Toyota Altis shape design instead of the roundish Vios design. The interior interfaces of the Wish seems to be much nicer.
But personally, i still prefer the current facelift and also the older design of the Toyota Wish which is showed below. Thanks for reading.

Thanks to Paultan and LYN.
