Toyota plans to make a minor change to the Noah minivan in January 2025. It is highly likely that this change will include the addition of the popular W×B grade. W×B is a particularly popular grade of the Noah, and this change is expected to make it even more appealing. At present, each dealer is estimating delivery dates for the model to be after mid-October 2024, but it is highly likely that this will be an improved model. As with the Noah, the sister car Voxy is also scheduled to undergo some improvements. The details of the changes have not been announced at this time, but it is thought that there will be many parts in common with the Noah.

Toyota’s new “Noah” partial improvement
In the partial improvement of the Noah, the SZ grade will be equipped with Display Audio Plus, Blind Spot Monitor [BSM], and Safe Exit Assist as standard, and the meter display will be upgraded from 7 inches to a 12.3-inch full LCD digital meter in the higher grade. New body colors will be added. And there is a high possibility that the grade “W×B (Double by B)”, which was very popular in the previous model, will be revived. In the previous model, “W×B (Double by B) III” was released, and looking at the past sales history, it is natural that it would be introduced at the time of partial improvement. In addition, there is a possibility that the price will be revised to coincide with this improvement.

Does the new Toyota Noah have a WxB?! Let’s look at the history to find out
Looking at the improvement history of the first to third generations, it would be unnatural for the “W×B” grade not to be released every time an improvement is made. For this reason, it is highly likely that the “W×B” will be released in the next improvement model . Since the W×B grade is a special edition vehicle of the highest grade, it is highly likely that it will be the ” SZ”W×B” “.

The door is beautifully made
I actually tried opening and closing the driver’s and passenger’s doors on the actual car, and the sound they made when you opened them was amazing, like a luxury car or imported car. The door sound is better than that of the 4th generation “Harrier” that 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 by 75 mm to 1,295 mm compared to the previous model, resulting in a significant increase in interior width.
The second-row seat has been raised 20mm from the ground to 1,405mm, while the shark antenna has been raised 50mm, increasing the overall height by 70mm.
Fully equipped second row seats
The second row seats can slide 745mm when fitted as captain seats, providing a comfortable space even for long-distance travel, a first in its class.
The captain’s seats are equipped with an ottoman, seat heater, foldable side table, and more, for added convenience and comfort.
Comfortable space even for eight passengers
The second row of the eight-seater model is a three-seater bench seat with a 60:40 split tip-up seat. It slides 705mm, providing a comfortable space for all passengers.
For vehicles equipped with power sliding doors, a “Universal Step” is available as an option. This step automatically deploys and retracts 200mm (2WD) or 255mm (4WD) from the ground.
Unlike conventional electric steps, this step uses a mechanical system that is linked to the movement of the door, eliminating the need for a motor and reducing the number of parts, which has made it possible to lower the price.

Expanded interior space through optimized body structure
The body structure has been optimized to significantly expand the interior space. The distance between the left and right C-pillars has been increased by 75 mm to 1,295 mm, making the interior wider.
The interior height has also been increased to 1,405mm, with the second-row seats raised 20mm from the ground. The overall height has been increased by 70mm, including a 50mm increase in the shark antenna, contributing to the increased interior height.

I have small children, so I thought this was a very attractive feature. I thought it was great that the door came out when it was opened and closed, but I was worried that it would be a little expensive if it broke.
The interior is fully equipped with the latest features
The interior lights have been converted to LED, creating a bright and comfortable interior space. The electric parking brake and hold system has been adopted to make parking easier. The meter has a 7.0-inch TFT multi-information display in the center. Visibility and operability have been improved. The front seats are equipped with an 8-inch or 10.5-inch display audio as standard. In conjunction with the T-Connect SD navigation system + Yamaha Premium Sound System 8ch speaker, you can enjoy high-quality sound and comfortable navigation. The rear seats are equipped with a rear seat entertainment system with a 14-inch OLED display as an option. It provides a comfortable space for rear seat passengers. Display audio compatible with CarPlay and AndroidAuto is standard equipment. Enhanced collaboration with smartphones has been improved for convenience. DCM in-vehicle communication device is standard equipment, and connected services are provided free of charge for 5 years. Supports safe and secure driving. Equipped with “Nanoe X”, it releases fine particle ions containing OH radicals in the cabin in an amount 10 times that of the conventional “Nanoe”. The deodorizing and disinfecting effects have been further improved.
The layout of the switches around the steering wheel and instrument panel is excellent and seems easy to use.
Seat heaters also available in the second row
The first in its class, seat heaters are available for the second row (manufacturer package option for SZ and Z). This type of seat heater is often found in luxury cars, so I think it’s great to see it in this class.
The large, foldable side table is equipped with four cup holders and two USB charging ports (Type-C), which can be used to charge smartphones, tablets, and game consoles. It also has a pocket on the side for storage.
Exterior Design
The previous generation Noah Voxy Japanese model was particular about Japanese road conditions and stuck to the 5-number size , but with this new model, the entire series has become 3-number . The wider body size gives a sense of stability while driving and a more luxurious exterior, so it looks like a major upgrade even though the price has not increased that much . Furthermore, both the Noah and Voxy look wilder, more powerful, and more luxurious than their predecessors, making them truly Toyota-like.

Evolution through adoption of TNGA (Toyota New Global Architecture)
The new Prius , which went on sale on December 9, 2015, is based on the newly developed GA-C platform, also known as the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) , which makes it possible to obtain a larger interior space than the previous model. The adoption of the newly developed platform has resulted in a lower center of gravity and improved body rigidity, achieving high aerodynamic performance and a significant evolution from the previous model.
What is TNGA actually?
I often hear about the TNGA platform, but is it really that different? I often hear that, but the conclusion is completely different. As an example of a different car model, as I mentioned above, I have purchased a model that transitioned from the third generation “Prius” to the fourth generation “Prius” to the TNGA platform, and a model that transitioned from the third generation “Harrier” to the fourth generation “Harrier” to the TNGA platform, so I can say that the ease of driving and the shaking on curves are completely different before and after the change to TNGA . If you are not currently driving a Toyota car that uses the TNGA platform, please try driving a TNGA-based car, any car model will do. I’m sure you will notice the difference.
Adopts the latest 5th generation hybrid system
The car adopts a series-parallel hybrid with reduction mechanism that combines the inline 4-cylinder DOHC 1.8L engine “2ZR-FXE” with a motor . Compared to the Prius, the front motor and rear motor have been significantly strengthened, with the front motor’s maximum output increasing from 53kW (72ps) to 70kW (95PS) and maximum torque increasing from 163Nm (16.6kgm) to 185Nm (18.9kgfm), and the rear motor’s maximum output increasing from 5.3kW (7.2ps) to 30kW (41PS), maximum torque increasing from 55Nm (5.6kgm) to 84Nm (8.6kgfm), and system output increasing from 90kW (122ps) to 103kW (140ps). By improving the thermal efficiency of the engine and the transmission efficiency, the fuel efficiency of the entire powertrain system (engine and transmission) has been improved, and the WLTC mode fuel efficiency has been recorded at 23.4km/L .

The new engine adopts high-speed combustion technology and a variable control system, and improves thermal efficiency by reducing various energy losses such as exhaust, cooling, and mechanical operation, while achieving high output. As a result, the newly developed 2.0L gasoline engines have achieved a thermal efficiency of 40%, which is the world’s top level. In addition, compared to conventional engines, it has achieved an increase in torque across the entire range from low to high revolutions, and has also responded to emission regulations in advance in each country. It is combined with Direct Shift-CVT.

Comparison of safety technologies between Toyota’s third-generation old “Noah” and “Voxy” and the fourth-generation new “Noah” and “Voxy”
The third-generation Noah and Voxy models will adopt the “Toyota Safety Sense C,” while the new fourth-generation Noah and Voxy will adopt the ” Next Generation Toyota Safety Sense ,” which will significantly add functions and improve safety.
The Pre-Crash Safety system can recognize pedestrians and bicycles at night , the Lane Departure Alert system increases the number of road detection items, and the Lane Tracing Assist system assists the driver with steering operations to keep the vehicle in the center of the same lane when using radar cruise control , reducing the burden on the driver .
Road Sign Assist prevents you from forgetting to look at road signs (‘speed limit’, ‘stop’, ‘no entry’, ‘no going outside’) by displaying them on the instrument panel .
The current ” Blind Spot Monitor (Rear Vehicle Approach Warning) ” was not adopted in the old model, but will be adopted in the new model. The ” Rear Cross Traffic Alert ” using a similar sensor can detect vehicles behind and reduce rear-end collisions. More than appearance, the third and fourth generations have made significant improvements.
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 high-end grades) , rear seat entertainment system uses a 14-inch OLED display. “Power back door (with anti-pinch function) (all high-end grades)” is adopted. Both of these have the same functions as the top-end minivans “Alphard” and “Vellfire”. “Hands-free power sliding doors on both sides (all high-end grades)”, “Advanced Park with remote function”, “Digital key”, “Safe exit assist (SEA)”, “Driver abnormality response system” and “Proactive driving assist” are features that are new to current Toyota vehicles. The lineup of equipment is very popular when considering switching from the previous “Noah” and “Voxy” or from other companies.
