Toyota new Aqua partially improved infotainment system renewal

Connected navigation

Equipped with a new infotainment system. “Connected Navigation” Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are used in the new “Noah Voxy” and other vehicles . Added USB-C charging port. Although the UI is designed with smartphones in mind, it cannot be said to be easy to use. I couldn’t say that the final navigation guidance was good either. I hope to see improvements with version updates.

In-car Wi-Fi

This service turns your car into a Wi-Fi spot and allows data communication inside the car.For example, it can be used in a variety of situations, such as connecting your child’s iPad or your friend’s smartphone in the back seat. Separately paid option. This option also allows you to browse websites without display audio.

Toyota New Aqua Partially Improved “Toyota Safety Sense” Proactive Driving Assist Adopted

By anticipating risks depending on the driving situation, such as “pedestrians crossing” and “the possibility of someone jumping out,” the system supports driving operations to avoid getting too close to danger, giving drivers peace of mind. Furthermore, by supporting deceleration operations in response to preceding vehicles and curves in front, and reducing the need for frequent pedal changes, the system provides gentle support to the driver in driving situations such as on public roads.

Steering and deceleration support for pedestrians, cyclists, and parked vehicles

It anticipates risks and supports steering and brake operations to prevent you from getting too close to danger.

Deceleration support for preceding vehicles

When the vehicle detects an interruption by a vehicle in front or an adjacent vehicle, the vehicle decelerates gently in response to the driver turning off the accelerator to prevent the vehicle from getting too close.

Deceleration support for curves

If it determines that the vehicle is traveling too fast for the curve in front of it, it will gradually decelerate in response to the driver turning off the accelerator.

Deceleration support when turning left or right

When it detects that the vehicle is approaching a signalized intersection, it automatically decelerates in response to the driver’s accelerator off and turn signal operation, ensuring sufficient margin for maneuver when making a right or left turn.

Continuous steering support when driving within lane

By anticipating driver operations and changing the steering reaction force, the system suppresses unnecessary operations and prevents delays in operation, supporting smooth driving.

Toyota New Aqua Partially Improved “Toyota Safety Sense” can now be updated wirelessly

For the first time, Toyota Safety Sense can be updated wirelessly on the Yaris. New software upgrades are downloaded while driving and installed at your convenience.

About the 2nd generation new Aqua

Aqua is a popular Japanese car model that was officially announced and released on December 26, 2011. It underwent a full model change approximately 10 years after its release, and was released on July 19, 2021.

The design is high-quality, simple, and classless, based on the concept of “Harmo-tech” (advanced, human-friendly, stimulating the intellect and sensibilities). The body size remains the same, but the wheelbase has been extended by 50mm compared to the previous model, resulting in an overall length of 4,050mm, an overall width of 1,695mm, an overall height of 1,485mm (2WD), 1,505mm (4WD), and a wheelbase of 2,600mm. Developed based on the “TNGA” used in the new Prius, which went on sale on December 9, 2015. By adopting the newly developed ” GA-B platform “ based on TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture) , it is possible to obtain a larger interior space than the previous model. By adopting a newly developed platform that achieves high aerodynamic performance, it has a “lower center of gravity” and “increased body rigidity”, making it a significant evolution from the previous model. It is equipped with the second generation “Toyota Safety Sense.”

About the 2nd generation new Aqua engine specifications

The new Aqua is sold as a hybrid-only model. The hybrid system uses a new, downsized THSⅡ in the new generation “ In-line 3-cylinder 1.5L direct injection dynamic force engine M15A type ”. There are no problems with the overall quality and it can be adopted. By improving the thermal efficiency of the engine and the transmission efficiency of the transmission, the overall powertrain system (engine and transmission) has improved fuel efficiency by approximately 25% and power performance by approximately 15% or more. Equipped with a bipolar nickel metal hydride battery. This makes it possible to dramatically improve fuel efficiency. E-Four (4WD) model is also newly adopted . A newly developed 4WD-specific rear suspension uses a double wishbone type. Achieves low fuel consumption of 35.8km/L in WLTC mode.

Main features of the 2nd generation new Aqua Toyota Safety Sense

It is equipped with the 2nd generation Toyota Safety Sense , an advanced preventive safety technology . The second-generation Toyota Safety Sense installed in the new Alphard/Vellfire, which goes on sale from January 8, 2018, will be installed as standard on all vehicles. It uses a laser radar and camera to ensure excellent recognition performance and reliability, and is packaged with collision avoidance support PCS, LDA, and AHB. It has collision avoidance support/damage mitigation performance that can be used up to high speeds. As mentioned above, Toyota Safety Sense’s pre-collision braking assists collision avoidance when the relative speed to a pedestrian is within approximately 30 km/h, and in the case of a vehicle, it supports a wide speed range from 10 km/h to the maximum speed. Operate.
