2009 Toyota Wish Debuts in Japan

Toyota is quite a busy company these days, with several new models debuted in different corners of the world. This time we're talking about the all-new 2009 Wish, a redesigned version of the 2005 generation that was presented to Japanese fans a few days ago. Toyota has at least enthusiastic plans when it comes to this seven-seater as it already projected sales of 6,000 units per month, according to a press statement issued by the manufacturer.

And to get to more technical stuff, the car will be offered in a choice of six trims relying on two different engines. Prices, including consumption tax, rang between 1,840,000 yen ($18,260) and 2,480,000 yen ($24,611).

As said, there are two powerplants available, a 1.8- and a 2.0-liter, but the overall output is yet to be released. Nevertheless, we do know the 1.8-liter front-wheel drive version achieve around 16.0km/l (6.25 l/100km or 37.6 mpg) and produces 145 grams of CO2 per km. The 2.0-liter model goes as much as 15.2 km/l (6.57 l/100km or 35.7 mpg) and CO2 emissions of 153 g/km.

A seven-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic transmission comes as standard on every single model while a Dynamic Sport Mode is offered as an option for 2.0-liter versions. This particular function makes use of traction control systems and electric power steering to increase acceleration and deceleration.

Other feature highlights include speedometer and tachometer decorated with metallic rings, titanium-tone finish on sides of center console, Smart Entry & Start System, automatic air-conditioner, Wish Panoramic Live Sound System with 10 speakers, Intelligent Parking Assist system, HDD navigation, S-VSC system and SRS side and frontal airbags.
