Does the Toyota Reiz have a 3.0 version?

Toyota Reiz does have a 3.0 version. The Reiz comes in two engine displacements: one is a 2.5-liter displacement, and the other is a 3.0-liter displacement. The first-generation Reiz was equipped with a 2.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 145 KW and a maximum horsepower of 197 PS. The 3.0-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine, also paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivers a maximum power of 170 KW and a maximum horsepower of 231 PS. From the front to the roofline, waistline, and extending to the rear, the Toyota Reiz outlines beautiful and dynamic lines, making it seem as if you can see the air flowing along these lines. The exterior design of the Reiz does not have any excessive exaggeration; describing it as honest and straightforward is not inaccurate. However, beneath its calm exterior lies an unyielding 'heart.' The 'peanut'-shaped headlights paired with the 'U'-shaped grille do not appear too aggressive but rather give a friendly impression.
I've researched the Toyota Reiz, and it indeed has a 3.0-liter displacement version, particularly the model sold in the Chinese market, which is equipped with a six-cylinder engine delivering around 231 horsepower. This engine is very smooth, with quick acceleration response, making it suitable for high-speed driving. The rear-wheel-drive system enhances handling precision, providing strong grip when cornering. However, I've also noticed its relatively high fuel consumption, reaching over 13 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving, though it performs slightly better on long trips. Around 2010, the 3.0 version was quite popular for its strong power, and many car enthusiasts appreciated its balance of comfort and sportiness. It's now discontinued, but used ones are still available—just be sure to check the engine's maintenance condition, as older cars like this are prone to carbon buildup or oil leaks. For daily use, it's advisable to consider your power needs when choosing, as maintenance costs are higher than the 2.5 version, though overall reliability is good.
