1 Answers
Toyota E'Z discontinuation reasons: The vibration filtration and overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) performance were really poor, and the interior was relatively basic. The main reason for its discontinuation was its positioning issue. It was marketed as an MPV, but it wasn't comfortable when fully loaded with seven people. As a hatchback, it lacked the compactness and agility typical of hatchbacks. As a van, it couldn't match the cargo capacity of the Wuling Hongguang. Additionally, its price was quite high. Here are the specific details about the Toyota E'Z: 1. Vehicle Positioning: The Toyota E'Z was positioned as a compact MPV, with dimensions of 4450mm × 1790mm × 1640mm and a wheelbase of 2780mm. 2. Powertrain: It offered three engine options: 1.6L, 1.8L, and 2.0L. The 1.6L engine had a maximum output of 90kW and a peak torque of 154Nm. The 1.8L engine delivered a maximum output of 103kW and a peak torque of 173Nm. The 2.0L engine produced a maximum output of 107kW and a peak torque of 187Nm, paired with a CVT transmission system. 3. Features: Standard features across all models included VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), TRC (Traction Control), HAC (Hill-start Assist Control), front side airbags, and a driver's knee airbag.
