#CarShowcase DETAILS ABOUT THE CAR: The 2022 Toyota Noah and Voxy duo have been unveiled, and the fourth-generation MPVs are now underpinned by the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA). This is the GA-C version of the platform, and alterations to the body structure allow for more interior space. Specifically, the new Noah and Voxy have C-pillars which are now more vertically aligned compared to its predecessor, enabling a width of 1,295 mm between the left and right C-pillars, or 75 mm wider than before, says Toyota. This gain in width, along with a cabin height of 1,405 mm contribute to a more open-feeling cabin, it says. Powertrains for the Noah and Voxy are comprised of a 140 PS 1.8 litre 2ZR-FXE hybrid, with the optional E-Four electric all-wheel-drive system, as well as a 170 PS/202 Nm 2.0 litre Dynamic Force M20A-FKS internal combustion engine paired with a Direct-Shift CVT transmission. This ICE configuration also comes with AWD as an option. Available in seven- or eight-seater configurations depending on variant for both the Noah and Voxy, the seven-seater layout features captain seats for second-row occupants while the third row gets lower-profile one-touch folding bench seats, employing straight-sliding mechanisms with a slide length of 745 mm. The use of a longitudinal rather than sideways sliding mechanism enhances convenience and comfort, says Toyota. Meanwhile, the eight-seater configuration uses a three-person bench seat for the second row, with 60:40 split tip-up capability. Like in the seven-seater, the eight-seater’s second row uses a sliding mechanism, here with a 705 mm slide length. As an option, a two-seater bench can be specified for the second row, with space on the left side to enable easy access to the third row, even with a child seat fitted in the second row. Access to the second and third rows in the Noah and Voxy are through powered sliding doors, with an extending and retracting side step below the passenger side sliding door. This is at a height of 200 mm for ease of use, particularly for small children and the elderly, says the manufacturer. Both models also feature 460 mm-long hand grips both both left- and right-side B-pillars for easier access. At their lowest points, the hand grips are 895 mm from the ground surface, and the grips’ thickness is optimised by height; thinner the bottom for children, and thicker towards the top for adults. For added convenience, also available as an option are hands-free powered sliding doors, which users can enable when carrying the key by placing their feet below the front doors. Similar to kick-sensing bootlids and tailgates, in essence, and handy for use when both hands are full. Both the Toyota Noah and Voxy also come equipped with Toyota Teammate, which includes Advanced Drive as well as Advanced Park. Advanced Drive offers the driver support during traffic congestion in certain conditions, such as when driving on motor vehicle-only roadways and when radar cruise control and lane tracing assist are activated in congested traffic, up to 40 km/h. The 2022 Noah and Voxy are also manufactured in Welcab (welfare vehicle) versions, available with both Dynamic Force internal combustion and hybrid powertrains. These are wheelchair-accessible and tilt-seat variants for disabled and elderly occupants, and can accommodate one or two wheelchairs, as well as with third-row seats installed, depending on variant. In Japan, the 2022 Toyota Noah is priced from 2,670,000 yen (RM97,348) for the 2WD 2.0 litre Dynamic Force-engined X variant, up to 3,890,000 yen (RM141,829) for the Hybrid E-Four powertrain in the S-Z variant. Meanwhile, the 2022 Toyota Voxy starts from 3,090,000 yen (RM112,661) for the 2WD 2.0 litre Dynamic Force S-G variant, going up to 3,960,000 yen (RM144,381) for the Hybrid E-Four powertrain in S-Z trim.
