Toyota plans to make some improvements to its Noah minivan in January 2025. This improvement is likely to include the addition of the popular grade “W×B (Double Bibby)”. W×B is a particularly popular grade among Noah, and we hope that this improvement will make it even more appealing. At present, each dealer has a delivery date of mid-October 2024 or later, but it is highly likely that this will be an improved model. Like the Noah, its sibling car, the Voxy, will also receive some improvements. The details of the improvements have not been announced at this time, but it is thought that there are many things in common with Noah.

At the same time as the improvement, we added the special edition model “SZ Kirameki”, which is a very popular grade…

Regarding partial improvements to Toyota’s new model “Noah”

The meter display is upgraded from 7 inches to a 12.3 inch full LCD digital meter on higher grades. New body colors will be added. And there is a high possibility that the grade “W×B (double bibee)”, which was very popular in the previous model, will be revived. The previous model, “W×B (Double Bybee) III”, was also released, and considering its past sales history, it seems natural that it would be introduced at the same time as some improvements have been made. Furthermore, there is a possibility that the price will be revised in line with this improvement.

Does the new Toyota Noah have WxB? ! If you follow history, you will understand

Looking at the history of improvements from the first generation to the third generation, each improvement has been released each time, so much so that it seems unnatural that the “W×B” grade has not been released. From this, it is thought that there is a very high possibility that “W×B” will be released as the next improved model . The W×B grade is a special edition car of the highest grade, so it has a strong “ SZ “W×B” ” feel.

About the new Toyota “Noah” and “Voxy”

Great body size

Due to the numbering of all series into 3, the body size of the standard model has been changed to 4,695 mm in total length, 1,730 mm in total width, and 1,895 mm in total height.  The overall length is the same as the previous generation, but the overall width has been increased by 35mm compared to the standard model. The wheelbase is 2,850mm, the same as the previous generation.

The door is wonderfully made

I actually tried opening and closing the driver’s and passenger’s doors in a real car, and when I opened them, they made a wonderful sound similar to a luxury or foreign car. The door sounds better than the 4th generation Harrier I currently drive. (This is my personal opinion.)

Large interior space

Significant expansion of interior space

In terms of interior space, the distance between the left and right C-pillars has been increased to 1,295mm, which is 75mm larger than the previous model. This significantly increases interior width.

The interior height has also been increased to 1,405mm by raising the height of the second-row seat by 20mm from the ground. The total height has been increased by 70mm, including the height of the shark antenna by 50mm, contributing to the increased interior height.

Fully equipped second row seats

The second row seats have a long slide of 745 mm when equipped with captain seats. This is the first vehicle in its class to provide comfortable space even on long journeys.

The captain’s seat is equipped with an ottoman, seat heater, and foldable side table to improve convenience and comfort.

Comfortable space even for 8-seaters

The second row seats of the 8-passenger version feature a 60:40 split tip-up seat with a 3-person bench seat type. It has a long slide of 705mm, providing a comfortable space for all passengers.

Vehicles equipped with power sliding doors have an optional “Universal Step” that automatically deploys and retracts the step at a position 200mm (2WD) or 255mm (4WD) from the ground.

Unlike conventional electric steps, we use a mechanical step that is linked to the movement of the door, eliminating the need for a motor and reducing the number of parts. This has resulted in lower prices.

Expanding interior space by optimizing the body skeleton

By optimizing the body framework, interior space has been significantly expanded. The distance between the left and right C-pillars has been increased by 75mm to 1,295mm, increasing interior width.

The interior height has also been increased to 1,405mm, while raising the height of the second-row seat by 20mm from the ground. The total height has been increased by 70mm, including the height of the shark antenna by 50mm, contributing to the increased interior height.

“Universal step” convenient for vehicles with power sliding doors available as an option

Vehicles equipped with power sliding doors have an optional “Universal Step” that automatically deploys and retracts the step at a position 200mm (2WD) or 255mm (4WD) from the ground.

Unlike conventional electric steps, we use a mechanical step that is linked to the movement of the door, eliminating the need for a motor and reducing the number of parts. This has resulted in lower prices.

I, who have small children, found this to be a very attractive feature. I thought it was great that the door came out when you opened and closed and didn’t get in the way, but I was worried that it would be a little expensive in case it breaks down.

The interior is fully equipped with the latest equipment

The interior lighting has been changed to LED, creating a bright and comfortable interior space. Equipped with an electric parking brake and hold to make parking operations easier. The meter has a 7.0-inch TFT multi-information display located in the center. Improved visibility and operability. Front seats come standard with 8-inch or 10.5-inch display audio. In conjunction with the T-Connect SD navigation system + Yamaha premium sound system 8ch speakers, you can enjoy high-quality sound and comfortable navigation. For the rear seats, a rear seat entertainment system with a 14-inch organic EL display is available as an option. It provides a comfortable space for passengers in the rear seats. Display audio compatible with CarPlay and Android Auto is standard equipment. We have strengthened cooperation with smartphones and improved convenience. It comes standard with a DCM in-vehicle communication device, and provides connected services free of charge for five years. Supports safe and secure driving. Equipped with “NanoE The deodorizing and sterilizing effects have been further enhanced.

The layout of the switches around the steering wheel and instrument panel is very nice and seems easy to use.

Seat heaters are also installed on the second seats

First in its class, the second-row seats are equipped with seat heaters. (Manufacturer package option for SZ, Z). The model that is used for the second seat is often used in luxury cars, and I thought it was wonderful that it was used in this class.

The large foldable side table has 4 cup holders and 2 USB charging terminals (Type-C), which can be used to charge smartphones, tablets, and game consoles, and there is also a pocket on the side for storage. It is possible.

exterior design

The Japanese model of the previous generation Noah Voxy was particular about the 5-number size, paying particular attention to Japan’s road conditions , but since the new model, all series have 3-number sizes. The wider body size gives it a more stable driving experience and a more luxurious exterior, making it look like a significantly upgraded car even though the price has not increased that much . Furthermore, both the Noah and Voxy give a wilder, more powerful, and more luxurious impression than their predecessors, giving the impression that they are Toyotas.

Evolution through adoption of TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture)

By adopting the newly developed “GA-C platform” called TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture), which was adopted in the new ” Prius ” that went on sale on December 9, 2015 , the interior is larger than the previous model. It is possible to obtain space. 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.

What is TNGA actually like?

I often hear about the TNGA platform, but is it really that different? I often hear this, but the conclusion is completely different. This is an example of a different car model, but as mentioned above, the author used the TNGA platform model from the 3rd generation Prius to the 4th generation Prius, and the TNGA platform model from the 3rd generation Harrier to the 4th generation Harrier . I have purchased a model that has been changed to TNGA, so the ease of driving and the blurring on curves are completely different between before and after changing to TNGA . If you are not currently driving a Toyota vehicle that uses the TNGA platform, please take a look at any model that uses the TNGA platform. You’ll definitely notice the difference.

Adopts the latest 5th generation hybrid system

It uses a series parallel hybrid with a reduction mechanism that combines a 2ZR-FXE inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.8L engine with a motor . Compared to the Prius, the front motor and rear motor have been significantly strengthened. Maximum output: 5.3kW (7.2ps) → 30kW (41PS), maximum torque: 55Nm (5.6kgm) → 84Nm (8.6kgfm), system output: 90kW (122ps) → 103kW (140ps). By improving the thermal efficiency of the engine and the transmission efficiency of the transmission, the entire powertrain system (engine and transmission) has improved fuel efficiency, achieving a WLTC mode fuel efficiency of 23.4km/L .

Gasoline model also uses new engine “Dynamic Force Engine”

The gasoline engine is a new inline 4-cylinder 2.0L direct injection engine “Dynamic Force Engine” with maximum output of 125kW (170PS) at 6,600rpm and maximum torque of 202Nm (20.6kgfm) at 4,900rpm. In addition to adopting high-speed combustion technology and a variable control system, the new engine improves thermal efficiency and achieves high output by reducing various energy losses such as during exhaust, cooling, and mechanical operation. As a result, each of the newly developed 2.0L gasoline engine has achieved a world-class thermal efficiency of 40%. Additionally, compared to conventional engines, the engine achieves increased torque across the entire range from low to high speeds, and is also ahead of the curve in complying with the exhaust regulations of each country. Direct Shift-CVT combination.

Comparison of safety technology between Toyota’s 3rd generation old model “Noah” and “Voxy” to 4th generation new model “Noah” and “Voxy”

The 3rd generation “Noah” and “Voxy” adopted “Toyota Safety Sense C”, and now the 4th generation new “Noah” and “Voxy” have significantly added functions and improved safety by adopting the “ next generation Toyota Safety Sense. ” This will lead to an improvement in

“Pre-crash safety” allows pedestrians and bicycles to be recognized at night , “Lane Departure Alert” increases road detection items, and “Lane Tracing Assist” allows drivers to drive in the center of the same lane when using radar cruise control. , assists the driver with steering operations, reducing the burden on the driver .

Road Sign Assist prevents you from forgetting to look at road signs by displaying them on the instrument panel (Speed ​​Limit, Stop, No Entry, No Extrusion) .

” Blind spot monitor (rear vehicle approach warning) ” , which is currently a tributary, is not used in older models, but is included in the new model. Rear Cross Traffic Alert , which utilizes a similar sensor, can detect vehicles behind and reduce rear-end collisions. More than meets the eye, the third and fourth generations have made significant advances.

The equipment is overwhelming compared to minivans in the same class. 10.5-inch display audio, T-Connect SD navigation system + Yamaha Premium Sound 8ch speaker system (all higher grades)  , rear seat entertainment system with 14-inch organic EL display. Adopts a “power back door (with anti-pinch function) (all advanced grades)”. Both have the same features as the top-of-the-line minivans “Alphard” and “Vellfire.” “Hands-free power sliding doors on both sides (higher grades)”, “Advanced Park with remote function”, “digital key”, “Secure Exit Assist (SEA)”, “Driver Emergency Response System”, and “Proactive Driving Assist” are the current Toyota features. This is a first for a car . We have a lineup of equipment that has extremely strong sales potential, whether you are considering switching from the previous generation Noah or Voxy, or considering switching from another company.
