Toyota Qualis Review

The biggest plus point of the Toyota Qualis is the fact that it’s Toyota. Because this gives it the stamp of reliability and value which makes the Qualis a very satisfying machine. The Quakis has arrived in India much to the deliverance of the Indian public who were otherwise having to compromise with low quality unreliable and uncomfortable local utility vehicles. The local vehicles were known to be quite noisy and tough to drive as well. In such a situation the Qualis has made the Indian public breathe a sigh of relief.

Measuring round about the size of a Sumo the Qualis has big top hinged rear hatch and very clean lines. It stands upon 175mm wheels that are placed upon relatively small 14 inch rims to make driving through the city more crisp and easy. Under the hood the Toyota Qualis is embedded with a 75 bhp 2446 cc L2 engine that runs on diesel power. Unlike most other diesel powered engines this is relatively not that noisy. Plus it provides for smooth and almost soundless acceleration. The Qualis is known to have a snappy pick up and a top speed that can match most other cars of the size.

The power that drives the Qualis is a 2.4 liter diesel engine. This power house of an engine can deliver a maximum power of 54Kgm at 4200 rpm and a maximum torque of 151 Nm at 2400 rpm. The powerful engine is not only able to give the Qualis excellent acceleration it if fuel efficient as well. The fuel tank has a capacity of 53 liters that can keep you going for days once full. With the fuel economy totally compatible with the power of car the Qualis does not seem to be compromising on anything.

On the insides the Qualis sports a luxury vehicle like dashboard with mock wood paneling on the GST version. The gauges and instruments are also well illuminated when night falls. The Qualis has an adjustable seating arrangement for up to 8 to 10 people. The diesel powered car has a very powerful AC that has a 3 speed blower in the front and an optional blower mounted on the roof. The car also meets all the latest safety standards with Toyota paying full attention to the crumple zones. The front of the car has been designed in such a way that it crumples in the case of an impact. This absorbs the bulk of the shock and results in safeguarding the cabin and those inside it. This along with seat belts and other safety measures ensures that your time in the Qualis will be a fun filled safe and adventurous time.
