Toyota Prado

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado is a mid-size four-wheel drive vehicle in the Toyota Land Cruiser range. It is produced by the Japanese car maker, Toyota Motor Corporation. The Prado is one of the smaller vehicles in the range. The 2014 Prado is based on Toyota's J150 platform.
In Europe the 2014 Prado is designated Land Cruiser LC3, LC4, and LC5, depending on the equipment levels. The Prado may also be referred to as Land Cruiser LC70, LC90, LC120, and LC150 depending on the platform. In North America it is not part of the Land Cruiser range; the Toyota 4Runner replaces the Prado with basic trim while the Lexus GX 470 replaces the Prado with luxury trim. The GX 470 uses practically identical body panels and V8 engine.
Prados have ladder frames, two-speed transfer boxes and rear beam axles. The J70 platform has a front beam axle while the J90, J120, and J150 platforms have front independent suspension
The 2014 Prado is available in GX, GXL, VX, and Grande versions. The GX is the entry level model, while the Grande is the luxury version. In most markets the Prado is available with a 4.0 L V6 petrol engine or 3.0 L straight 4 Diesel engine. It is also available in 4.6 L V8 petrol. In some European countries commercial van variants, based on the short-wheelbase chassis. are available.
As of 2014, the LC Prado is available in every Toyota market, except, the U.S., Canada (both available as the Lexus GX), Mexico, and South Korea.
The fourth generation has been available in some markets since October 2009. There are two base variants, five-door and three-door. The five door variant in the general market is offered in TXL & VXL grades – which are much more option packed. This generation of Prado features advanced 4WD and an array of electronic gadgets. This generation of the Prado is offered in the US badged as the 2010 model year Lexus GX 460 with luxury trim.
Depending on the market, the fourth generation is available with an under-floor mounted or rear door mounted spare wheel. For example, UK vehicles have the spare wheel mounted under the floor, while in Australia and Argentina the spare wheel is mounted on the rear door, leaving space for an auxiliary fuel tank, which is desirable in countries where long journeys in isolated areas may be required. The fuel capacity of the dual tank series four is 150 L compared to 179 L of the series three.

Toyota fortuner

The Toyota Fortuner, also known as the Toyota SW4, is a mid-sized SUV. Originally assembled only in Thailand, but later also in Indonesia and other countries, the Fortuner is built on the Toyota Hilux pickup truck platform. It features three rows of seats and is available in rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Fortuner is part of Toyota's IMV project in Thailand, which also includes the Toyota Hilux and the Kijang Innova (in Indonesia). Developed in large part by Toyota’s Thai operations, the Fortuner has piggybacked the success of the Hilux and is now built in a number of countries including India, Argentina and Indonesia, although outside Thailand its success has been mixed.^[2]
However in the Sydney Morning Herald, Gillard who worked for the Toyota Technical Centre (TTC-AU) stated that the organization has been working on the Fortuner since 2006.^[3] In fact, this Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is designed in Thailand by Thai and Japanese engineers.^[4] However the facelift version of the IMVs vehicles including the Fortuner were designed in Australia by Toyota Australia which is also responsible for developing the next generation of the Fortuner.^[5] However, this second generation was under development. Production starting from September 2015 in Indonesia along with the Innova.^[6][7]
This car was the best selling in its category (SUV/PPV) in Thailand.
The Fortuner is not offered in Japan, Europe, North America, Australasia, or China. For the medium pick-up based SUV segment in those markets, Toyota offers the Hilux Surf (Japan), 4Runner (North America) and Land Cruiser Prado (Europe, Australasia and China). However, in some Central American countries (Panama for example), Toyota offers the Fortuner alongside the 4Runner and Land Cruiser Prado.

Toyota vios

The Toyota Vios is a four-door subcompact sedan manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation primarily for emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region.
Introduced in 2002,^[2] the Vios serves as the replacement to the Tercel (called the Soluna in Thailand and Indonesia), which filled the Asian subcompact or B-segment class, below the Corolla and Camry which are also sold in the region. Beginning 2005, the Vios was also marketed alongside its hatchback complement, the Yaris in most Asia Pacific countries. In the United States, Jamaica and Australia, the second generation Vios is known as the Toyota Yaris sedan.
The name Vios is derived from Latin and means "to move forward".
The first generation Vios, codenamed NCP42 was assembled at Thailand's 1 million square metre Toyota Gateway Plant in Gateway City, Amphoe Plaeng Yao, Chachoengsao Province, as part of a cooperative project between Thai engineers and Toyota's Japanese designers.
The Vios in Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Taiwan is powered by a 1.5 litre 1NZ-FE engine with VVT-i. The smaller 1.3 litre 2NZ-FE engine is offered in the Philippines. In China, the Vios comes with the 1.3 litre 8A-FE engine and 1.5 litre 5A-FE engine. Trim levels for Southeast Asia include J, E, S, and G, while the DLX, GL, GLX, and GLXi are offered in China.
The first generation Vios was adapted from the Platz with modified body panels, which created a significantly different appearance, although portions of the car feature design cues from the E120 Corolla. In September 2005,^[2] the Vios received minor cosmetic changes to its exterior and interior for the 2006 model year. The front bumper, headlights and tail lights were freshened; also new were the wheels, speedometer dial design and interior trim.In other uses, the first generation Vios is adopted as a racing vehicle in Touring Car Championships in Indonesia and One Make Races in Thailand. The car is also in use as taxicabs in Indonesia but features lesser equipment and is specially rebadged as the Toyota Limo. This is not to be confused with certain taxis with the same name in Thailand, which use Toyota Corollas.

Toyota 86

Initial layout and design elements for the 86 were first presented via the Toyota FT-HS concept car at the Detroit Motor Show in 2007. The FT-HS had a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout and 2+2 seating, but utilized a V6 engine with hybrid electric assistance. In 2008 Toyota bought 16.5% of Fuji Heavy Industries, parent to Subaru.^[4] Toyota, led by project leader Tetsuya Tada,^[5] offered Subaru involvement in their sport coupé project, co-developing a new boxer engine known as the D-4S,^[6] but Subaru rejected plans for further development of a rear wheel drive sports coupe due to their vehicle line-up predominantly offering all-wheel drive. Subaru's balk led the project to a six-month halt before Toyota invited journalists and Subaru engineers to test a developmental prototype to demonstrate the capabilities of the platform. Following the test, Subaru agreed to become further involved in development.^[7]

 the 2009 Toyota FT-86 Concept

The new collaboration produced a new concept car in October 2009 at the Tokyo Motor Show, the FT-86. Smaller than the FT-HS, the design of the FT-86 was further refined by Toyota's ED² design studio while the hybrid V6 engine was replaced by the new D-4S boxer. Subaru provided the chassis and gearbox for the concept car, basing it on an Impreza. The concept was painted in Shoujyouhi Red, based on the backside of a Japanese Macaque.^[8]
The following year, Toyota launched their G Sports line of aftermarket accessories, and showed the FT-86 G Sports fitted with G Sports performance parts also at the Tokyo Motor Show. These parts included carbon fibre panels, a vented bonnet, rear wing, 19 in (48 cm) wheels, Recaro race seats, and an interior rollcage.^[9] The D-4S engine also added a turbocharger.^[10

Toyota AE90

The Corolla E90 was the sixth generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. In general, all models departed from the previous generation's boxy styling for a more contemporary look and improved aerodynamics.
The performance option of rear-wheel drive was dropped after 1987, with all Corollas front-wheel drive from 1987, with E90 production beginning in May 1987. For general export, the trim levels are Base, XL, GL, SE, and SE Limited. The GT-i was sold in smaller numbers in certain countries. The majority of the Corolla range was replaced in June 1991 for the Japanese market, with production for most export markets continuing into 1992. In Australia, it was built until mid-1994.
The all wheel drive Sprinter Carib wagon used a solid axle rear suspension with coil springs, while the rest used struts all around. The 4WD wagon was sold from 1988 to 1994 and had different bodywork to other Corollas. It was called the All-Trac in the US and sold with the Tercel or Corolla name in some countries.
High performance GT-i models are powered by 4A-GE, and offered as a three-door hatchback, sedan, and five-door liftback. The North American GT-S coupé shared the same engine.The 1.3 liter sedan has a four-speed manual transmission (later all 1.3 liter engines had five-speeds) or a three-speed automatic transmission. The only model with the 1.5 liter 5A-FHE was SE-Limited G. The 4WD sedan is powered by the 1.6 liter 4A-FE. The 1456 cc 3E engine was only fitted to the Japanese market Van (wagon) commercial version.^[2] The Sprinter sedan has a third window in the C-pillar.

Toyota Corolla AE100

The Corolla AE100 was the seventh generation of cars sold by Toyota under the Corolla nameplate. This generation of Corolla was larger, heavier, and visually more aerodynamic than the model it replaced, with development chief Dr. Akihiko Saito wanting to develop a 'mini-Lexus', after success with that range's flagship. With its 2465 mm (97 in) wheelbase, the Corolla had moved into the compact size class once occupied by the Corona and Camry.The Corolla had an equivalent model Sprinter, with the Sprinter Trueno being equivalent to the Corolla Levin.
In North America, the Corolla was new for the 1993 model year. It had different headlights (independent high/low beams), grille, bumpers (extended) and trunk garnish for the Base and DX Sedans. The base model came with the 1.6 liter 4A-FE engine. The DX, LE and wagon came with the 1.8 liter 7A-FE. The 1993 and 1994 versions of the 7A-FE engine were rated at 86 kW (115 hp), later versions rated at 78 kW (105 hp) mainly due to differences of the intake shape. Every model has fully independent suspension, front disk brakes and rear drum brakes.^[8] The LE (Luxury Edition) has sporty front seats and was available in the US with A/T only or available in Canada with either A/T or M/T.
Minor changes occurred for the 1996 model year. Among these changes, the DX received bright red/clear tail lights and rear garnish, and new wheel covers. The Base model and CE Sedan came with restyled gray plastic trunk garnish. Sporty Corollas and 4WD Corollas were no longer imported during this generation. Some 1993 Corolla sedans sold were also produced in Japan, due to factory delays. All of the wagons were produced at the Takaoka plant in Japan.

Toyota Trueno

Toyota Sprinter Trueno is a small, lightweight coupe or hatchback introduced by Toyota in 1983 as part of the fifth generation Toyota Corolla lineup. For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of "AE86" depicts the 1600 cc RWD model from the range. In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (4A series), "E" represents the Corolla, "8" represents the fifth generation (E80 series) and "6" represents the variation within this generation.
The Levin has fixed-headlights, and the Trueno has retractable headlights, both could be hatchback or coupe. The export model name Corolla covers both variations. The AE86 (along with the lower spec 1,452 cubic centimetres (1.452 L) AE85 and 1587 cc SR5 versions) was rear wheel drive (unlike the front wheel drive CE80, EE80 and AE82 models), and is among the last rear-drive cars of its type, at a time when most passenger cars were being switched to front-drive. In 1987, there was a limited edition model of the AE86 called "Black Limited" that served as a send-off model before the AE86 chassis was replaced later that year by the front wheel drive AE92 Corolla/Sprinter range.
In Japan, the AE86 was also known as the Hachi-Roku (ハチロク^?), Japanese for "eight-six". In Japan, the Sprinter Trueno was exclusive to Toyota Japan dealerships called Toyota Vista Store, while the Corolla Levin was exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store. The word "trueno" is Spanish for thunder, and "levin" is Middle English for "lightning".e AE86 was available with a fuel-injected 4-cylinder twin-cam 1587 cc 4A-GE engine in Japan and Europe which was also used in the first-generation Toyota MR2 (AW11). This engine had a maximum gross power output of 130 PS (128 bhp; 96 kW) and 110 lb·ft (150 N·m) of torque in standard form, though it was later down-rated to 120 PS (118 bhp; 88 kW) and 105 lb·ft (142 N·m) in net output.^] The AE86 came with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and later came with the option of an automatic. The 4A-GE engines used in the AE86 and AW11 were equipped with T-VIS (Toyota Variable Intake System). The AE86 had an optional LSD.
