It goes without saying that the Toyota Premio new model is definitely sleeker and more elegant than its previous generation release. The midsize sedan is already exceptionally luxurious for its category, and the 2007 redesign, its second generation model, is certainly a must-buy if you’re looking for a classy car without the high-class price. The model is perfect for those with business in mind, from bright young entrepreneurs to seasoned company executives with a penchant for practicality. You can expect that the new model release has significant improvements in terms of styling, engine performance, and safety features. The Premio, after all, is a Toyota born and bred, and thus carries with it the company’s high standards of reliability and efficiency. Let’s take a look at the model’s best features now. Varied model grades The Premio has three engine sizes available and is offered in five packages to suit buyers’ preferences. Those who are looking for four-wheel drive should take a look at the 1.8-liter engine packages, the EX and L packages, that both have two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options. The 1.8 is also equipped with valvematic technology which allows the system to optimize its fuel use, improving the engine’s performance. The 1.8-liter engine variant runs up to 16.4 kilometers per liter of gas. The 1.6-liter engine also has its EX and L packages; both are two-wheel drive and can achieve a mileage of 18.2 kilometers on a single liter of gasoline. The most powerful engine in the Toyota Premio’s new model engine lineup is its 2.0-liter engine, nicely bundled with the Superior Package. It’s also two-wheel drive and gets a good 15.6 km/L of mileage. The new Premio has been equipped with Toyota’s Breakthrough Engine with Advanced Mechanism System technology, or BEAMS, which makes optimized fuel and engine use possible. Safety is best When we said that the Premio is a Toyota born and bred, we also meant that it meets the brand’s high safety standards. When it comes to protecting passengers, the Superior Package is the option to beat. The vehicle has been equipped with a Brake Assist Feature which is able to sense sudden or emergency braking—for example, quickly stepping on the brakes to avoid collision—and generate a firm braking force. Brake Assist works with Electronic Brake Force Distribution Control which in turn distributes equal braking power to the wheels that need it. Toyota Premio’s new model also has Traction Control and Vehicle Stability Control that enable the car to have a firm grip on the road. These two features work together and are vital in keeping the car from skidding or sliding on steep inclines and slippery surfaces, especially during a downpour. Shining brightly One of the highlights of the redesigned model is its new lighting system with auto-leveling, present in the EX trims and the Superior package. The feature works by maintaining a constant headlamp illumination axis, preventing glare from being directed to vehicles preceding the Premio or to those in the opposite lane. The brightness of the headlamps are automatically adjusted according to the surrounding light, thanks to the car’s new Con Light sensor. The taillights now sport brighter and more energy-conserving LED bulbs. Those are the improvements in the Toyota Premio’s new model redesign, released in 2007. What do you think of the new features?
