About the new Roomy Hybrid
Like the “Rise Hybrid” released on November 1, 2021, the hybrid system uses ” e-SMART HYBRID .” The “e-SMART HYBRID” system consists of a newly developed “1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) + motor,” and the engine is dedicated to power generation. A series hybrid system is adopted that uses this electric power to run 100% by motor . Achieves a simple structure and compact size with a small displacement. This hybrid system is strong at low and medium speeds and is suitable for small cars that are often used around town. WLCT mode fuel consumption is 27.0km/L (2WD), which is an amazing fuel efficiency.
The power generation engine uses a 1.2L straight 3-cylinder engine (WA-VEX) with maximum output of 60kW (82ps)/5,600rpm and 105Nm (10.7kgfm)/3,200-5,200rpm. The drive motor produces a maximum output of 78kW (106ps) and a maximum torque of 170Nm (17.4kgm). It is possible to drive by taking advantage of the torque characteristics of the motor. Vehicle speed can be controlled simply by operating the accelerator. Adopts the Smart Pedal (S-PDL), which reduces the frequency of switching from the accelerator to the brake when accelerating and decelerating repeatedly in the city or downhill, reducing the burden on the driver and providing a nimble ride.
With this engine installed, WLCT mode fuel consumption is expected to be around 27.0km/L. However, compared to a 1.0L straight 3-cylinder turbo engine, the fuel consumption in WLCT mode is 16.8km/L, so installing a hybrid engine should be perfect in terms of fuel efficiency.

About Roomy
The “Roomy” and “Tank” released on November 9, 2016 are tall wagon-type compact cars sold by Toyota. This is an OEM model based on the “Thor” sold by Daihatsu. It was announced at Toyopet and Netz stores as a sister car with a different design, the Tank, at the same time as the Roomy, and at Subaru, it was sold as the Justy, the brand’s revival for the first time in 22 years. Toyota will sell it at a total of six stores: four Toyota stores, Subaru, and Daihatsu. Its rival model is Suzuki’s new Solio . The concept is “1LD-CAR,” which is a combination of “living” in the sense of a spacious space and “driving” in the sense of good driving performance. Speaking of Toyota’s advanced technology, it is “Toyota Safety Sense”, but “ Smart Assist II ” will be adopted because Daihatsu is in charge of design, development, and production.
Released on November 1, 2018 Partial improvements Equipped with “Smart Assist III” instead of the old “Smart Assist II” and will be standard equipment on all models except the X.
Toyota will make minor changes to the new Roomy/Tank Custom and release it on September 15, 2020. At the same time, minor changes will be made to Toyota’s new Thor/Thor Custom .
“Tank” has been abolished. Front face design changed. Cool Violet Crystal Shine and Turquoise Blue Mica Metallic are newly adopted for the exterior.
Changes in seat shape and seat skin. “9-inch display audio” is available as an option on all models. First adoption of “Electric Parking Brake & Hold”.
The new model will be equipped with the next-generation Smart Assist, which replaces the previous model Smart Assist III, and will be standard equipment on all models. Corner sensors (4 front/4 rear, with approach notification display) are also standard on all models. Speaking of Toyota’s advanced technology, it is “Toyota Safety Sense”, but since the Roomy/Tank is designed, developed and produced by Daihatsu, “Next Generation Smart Assist” will be adopted.

Roomy/Tank Equipped with advanced technology “Next Generation Smart Assist” as standard
“Smart Assist III” is equipped with two cameras. Furthermore, it is equipped with “next-generation smart assist” that adds functions such as “ACC with all-vehicle speed tracking function.”
Adopts a stereo camera, supports pedestrians, and has a wider operating speed range than before. “Safety Support Car S (Wide)” (Support Car S (Wide) is eligible.)
Equipped with two corner sensors at the front and rear of the vehicle , the next-generation Smart Assist is an even more advanced technology that assists you in driving safely by helping you avoid accidents in potentially dangerous situations while driving. In addition to sonar sensors, it is newly equipped with the world’s smallest stereo camera that does not obstruct the driver’s field of view or overhead space. It accurately captures various information such as pedestrians, preceding vehicles, and obstacles, and alerts the driver or activates the emergency brake.
Collision Warning Function/Collision Avoidance Support Brake Function (1) Collision Warning (for vehicles and pedestrians) If the camera detects a vehicle or pedestrian in front of you while driving and determines that there is a risk of collision, a buzzer sounds and the meter alerts you. You will be notified by the display inside.
②Primary braking (for vehicles and pedestrians) If the system determines that there is a risk of a collision, it automatically applies weak brakes (primary brakes) to prompt the driver to avoid a collision.
③ Damage Mitigation Brake Assist (for vehicles and pedestrians) If the driver steps on the brake while the primary braking function is activated, Brake Assist activates and increases the braking force.
④ Emergency braking (for vehicles and pedestrians) If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, strong braking (secondary braking) is applied to decelerate. Avoid collisions or reduce damage.
Lane Departure Prevention Control Function If the vehicle is about to veer out of its lane without using a turn signal, it will alert the driver with a buzzer and a display on the meter, prompting the driver to take action. It also assists with steering operations to return the vehicle to its lane.
When the preceding vehicle start notification function is disabled and you are unaware that the preceding vehicle has started and does not start, you will be notified with a buzzer sound and a display on the meter.
AT false start prevention control function + false start prevention function with brake control ① Forward false start prevention control function When the stereo camera detects an obstacle such as a vehicle or wall within 4m in front, the shift position is set to “forward”. If you press the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is still in the position, engine output will be limited to prevent sudden acceleration. ② Rear false start prevention control function If the accelerator pedal is pressed with the shift position set to “reverse” when the sonar sensor built into the rear bumper detects an obstacle such as a wall within 2 to 3 meters behind the vehicle. , suppresses sudden starts by limiting engine output. Furthermore, brake control was added.
The high beam assist stereo camera detects the brightness of oncoming vehicle headlights and automatically switches between high and low beams. This allows you to drive with high beams on without having to switch them, allowing you to drive at night with peace of mind, even on roads with few street lights.
Adaptive Driving Beam When driving on high beam and detects an oncoming vehicle, the system automatically blocks the light in the area of the oncoming vehicle.
Sign recognition function: If the stereo camera detects a sign prohibiting entry, a notification will be displayed in the meter.

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) with all-vehicle speed tracking function A stereo camera detects the speed and distance of the vehicle in front, maintains the following distance and speed, and controls the vehicle to follow the vehicle in front until it comes to a stop.
Lane Keep Control A stereo camera detects the lane and assists steering operations to keep the vehicle in the center of the lane.
Parking assistance function “Smart Panoramic Parking Assist” – a first for light vehicles.Cameras on the left and right sides detect the white lines of the parking slot, and in addition to audio and screen guidance, assist steering operations.
Side View Lamp When turning left or right at night, in addition to the normal headlights, an auxiliary light that illuminates both sides is turned on to brightly illuminate the direction in which the steering wheel is turned.
