Does the Reiz have a 3.0 version?
2 Answers
The Reiz comes with two displacement options: 2.5L and 3.0L. Details are as follows: 1. The Reiz has been in China for twelve years with two generational updates. The first generation spanned from 2005 to 2010. The second generation started in September 2010 until discontinuation. This generation was synchronized with the overseas Toyota MarkX. A mid-cycle facelift in 2013 introduced sportier exterior styling. 2. First-generation Reiz: Equipped with a 2.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering 145KW maximum power, 197PS maximum horsepower, and 242Nm maximum torque. The 3.0L V6 naturally aspirated engine variant produced 170KW maximum power and 231PS maximum horsepower. 3. Second-generation Reiz: Featured a 2.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine with 142KW maximum power and 193PS maximum horsepower. The 3.0L V6 variant generated 167KW maximum power and 227PS maximum horsepower, both mated to 6-speed automatic transmissions.
As a car enthusiast, I remember the Reiz did indeed have a 3.0-liter displacement version, which was the top trim of the Toyota Reiz series. That car was equipped with a V6 engine, delivering powerful performance, especially when accelerating on highways—it felt much more thrilling than the 2.5-liter version. I test-drove it once myself; the engine sound was deep, and the throttle response was quick, though fuel consumption was a bit high, making it less economical for city driving. Nowadays, it's not easy to find this 3.0-liter Reiz in the new car market, mainly because production was discontinued due to tightening emissions policies. However, you can still often spot them in the used car market—if the condition is good, it's worth considering. If you plan to hunt for one, I recommend bringing along someone knowledgeable to inspect the car, focusing on whether the engine has abnormal noises or oil leaks, as older vehicles are prone to minor issues.
