Toyota Premio cars come highly recommended if you’re looking for a reliable daily driver that can deliver. This elegant midsize car is the perfect choice if you are looking for a vehicle that’s just the right size for you, especially if you’re not too keen on buying big vans and SUVs. The Premio is popular because of its upgraded looks—you would think it is a more expensive car. Originally sold to the Japanese domestic market, it is now gracing other countries around the world. Let’s get to know this practical but elegant car better. Brief History The first Premio rolled off the assembly line into the Japanese automotive market twelve years ago as the replacement for the now-retired Corona, which bowed down after forty years in the business. The Premio was released in two generations; the latest one was a redesign in 2007. The 2007 model was greatly improved cosmetically, which made the car more elegant and stylish to cater to the target market of business-savvy professionals and young entrepreneurs bent on making an impression. The second-generation release also had better engine performance and it also received the newest safety features developed by Toyota. Premium on Safety The Premio may not be as popular as the Corolla or the Camry, but Toyota nonetheless equipped it with the best safety features they could offer. This can be seen in the Premio’s 2.0-liter Superior Package, which features the whole set of sedan safety equipment. One of these is Vehicle Stability Control, which closely works with Traction Control to make sure that the Toyota Premio cars always have a good grip on the road, no matter how slippery it gets. You might have been in a situation when it’s raining and you almost skidded sideways; Vehicle Stability Control can prevent that. Another pair that work together are Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Force Distribution Control that can sense sudden braking and automatically generates a strong braking force to the wheels that need them most. Engine Options The Premio was made to cater to different needs, and so it is available in five packages. There are three engine sizes; these are coupled with another feature to make up the packages or trims. The most popular combos are the ones with the 1.8-liter engine, for which we have the EX an L packages. The 1.8-liter engine in Toyota Premio cars comes with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, and utilizes valvematic technology. This feature allows for increased combustion efficiency in the engine, resulting in optimized engine performance and fuel use, which means that no gas is wasted. In addition to the 1.8-liter engine, the Premio also offers a smaller but more fuel-efficient 1.5-liter engine, available in either the L or EX package. The 1.5-liter engine packages all come in two-wheel drive, and have a mileage of 18.2 kilometers on a single liter of gas, compared to the 1.8-liter engine’s 16.4 kilometers per liter. The 2.0-liter Superior Package may have the least mileage rate in the lineup (15.6 k/L) but it has the most powerful engine that’s highly recommended for those who usually have luggage in tow and for those who drive over long distances. It’s also the package that has all of the safety features. Those are the basics you need to know about Toyota Premio cars. They may be different, but they all carry the same quality and standard of reliability.
