What are the models of Coaster?
3 Answers
There are three models of Coaster, namely the Premium Edition, Luxury Edition, and Special Edition. Below is the related introduction of Coaster: Performance: All three models are equipped with Toyota's 4.0 engine. The advanced 4.0 Toyota engine ensures that no important meeting will be interrupted due to road bumps during travel. The Coaster 19-seater integrates the design concepts of business vehicles and RVs. The business seats make the journey more comfortable, and the design of the electric bed and bathroom can also turn the Coaster into a multifunctional RV. Configuration: The modified Coaster business vehicle features a unique upgraded step design for the inner wheel hub seat position, known as the Coaster 19-seater Ultra VIP Supreme High-end Custom Edition. Coaster is a model developed by FAW Toyota over four years, based on China's natural environment, road conditions, business environment, and regulations, through thorough investigation and experimentation of the imported Coaster. It offers high cost-effectiveness.
I've driven the Toyota Coaster several times, and it comes in several main models. The standard length version seats about 17 to 19 passengers and typically uses a 4.0L V6 diesel engine, which is both fuel-efficient and powerful. The extended version can accommodate up to 30 seats, making it ideal for tour groups or commuter fleets. In the Chinese market, the Coaster is very popular, often featuring customized VIP versions with leather seats, air conditioning, and entertainment screens. The gasoline version is less common but has advantages on highways. There are multiple length options, ranging from 7-meter short versions to 9-meter long versions, with suspension tuning that ensures a comfortable ride without much bumpiness on long trips. Maintenance is straightforward, but don't neglect regular oil changes. Overall, it's highly practical, and the choice of model depends on your needs and budget.
I often help friends choose Coaster models and find the selection quite diverse. The basic version is suitable for school buses or small companies, usually equipped with diesel engines that are reliable and durable; the luxury version features a high-roof design with more space, like the VIP customized models in the Chinese market that come with TVs and refrigerators. There are regional differences: Japan produces compact versions with around 15 seats, while diesel versions exported to Southeast Asia are more common. Electric versions are gaining popularity, but they're less practical in areas with few charging stations. Prices range from hundreds of thousands to over a million, so cost-effectiveness should be considered. I advise against buying used older models due to fewer safety features. Your choice depends on passenger capacity and route length.
