Toyota Avanza 1.3 E Cheapest Looks Plain, Can Anything?

 Before the birth of the all-new version now, Avanza with a 1.3 liter manual transmission engine is quite popular. Now, Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) places it as a last variant of E only. The rest are already carrying a 1.5L engine. 

Of course, with the market considerations still there. Well, if you are interested in the cheapest Avanza currently that has a 1.3L engine, check the completeness obtained first.

First we look at the price. Without any tax incentives from the government, the price of Avanza 1.3 E MT is Rp228.3 million. You could say avanza new generation start price is all above Rp200 million. Given the major changes and significant improvements compared to previous generations, it's quite worth it. But is the provision and completeness of its features appropriate?

Toyota Avanza 1.3 E Cheapest Looks Plain, Can Anything?

Before you look at the completeness, we take a peek at the performance. Mechanical heart carried, coded 1NR-VE. 4-cylinder engine 1,329 cc DOHC, Dual VVT-i. It produces 98 PS of power at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 122 Nm at 4,200 rpm. It is delivered to front-wheel drive via a five-speed manual transmission. Looking at its gait in the old generation, it is still quite powerful with the new platform and body now.

Look at the exterior. It is the same as the Avanza type G. But there are a number of differentiators that clearly signify the cheapest variant E. First up front, present without fog lights. The part was given a black plastic cap only. Tapered LED headlamp that now does not use a touch of chrome and is only given one body color. Then the rim. The design is simpler and only 15 inches in size. Make the look less macho than the avanza body that has a muscular character.

There's more, antennas are still standard models. Not yet the modern type of shark fin. The taillights are led combinations. Oh yes, Avanza type E also has not been pinned automatic folding for the rearview mirror.

In terms of dimensions, avanza this bottom variant is not much different from the others. It has a length of 4,395 mm, a width of 1,730 mm and a height of 1,665 mm, 5 mm shorter than the upper variant. Wheelbase is 2,750 mm and ground clearence is 195 mm. It appears lower than the top variant of 205 mm. Therefore, the difference in the use of rim size.

Provisions in the interior, also not as luxurious as type G. Although decorating on the dashboard is quiet or looks plain. Toyota is kind to providing a 7-inch touchscreen head unit for type E, with integrated Bluetooth connectivity. The design also follows the top trim, modern floating style.

Metel clusters use a combination of analog dial and monochrome MID. While the AC is already digital appearance and double blower. The steering wheel can only be set up and down (tilt). There is no back and forth (telescopic) setting. Features such as mid digital and illuminating start / stop button can be enjoyed from type G only.

Seat comfort is the same, wrapped fabric and has a flexible arrangement or folding. Then other practicalities such as storage and smartphone charger ports are also safely available. All parts of the seat already use the headrest that can be set for comfort. 

Safety and security support is clearly not as complex as trim over TSS. But there's enough. Avanza 1.3 E is embedded with two air bags (driver and front passenger), ABS +EBD+BA brakes, vehicle stability control, hill start assist, ISOFIX and seatbelt warning all rows. Unfortunately, there has been no alarm and immobilizer. In fact, this feature helps secure the car from theft.

Toyota Avanza 1.3 E MT comes as the cheapest trim. Although a number of areas seem plain, the basic features are sufficient. Especially when compared to type E trim on the old Avanza. The price differentiation is quite decent compared to the previous generation, paid off with the convenience offered on the all new Avanza even on basic trim though.

The lowest variant avanza has also got the construction of a suspension design for the same comfort as the variant on it. The front suspension uses a MacPherson Strut and the rear uses a torsion beam that each already uses a stabilizer bar.

For prospective consumers who are interested in avanza this lowest variant, you should be patient enough. This is because Toyota includes the E variant into the product sold spot order alias if there is a new order produced. Toyota seems to be eyeing fleet consumers for this lowest variant or consumers who want the cheapest price Avanza with a new design and still have Toyota products and services.

Don't forget the after-sales service as well. Buying Avanza no longer needs to think about periodic maintenance costs. Because it also gets the benefits of a free program of periodic service costs (service costs and spare parts) until the 6th routine maintenance. Maximum of 4 years or 50,000 km (whichever was achieved first). Valid at all authorized Toyota Indonesia outlets.

Get to Know the Slow Moving Component Maintenance of Your Vehicle

 Vehicle maintenance becomes one of the obligations that must be done by car owners. Taking care of the vehicle periodically keeps away from sudden problems that interfere with travel when used.

This treatment is related to understanding spare parts. Vehicle parts are widely known as fast moving and slow moving spare parts that consist of different life. Fast moving life is quite short and replaced following a periodic service schedule. Some of them are vehicle filters, brake pads, oil and spark plugs. While slow moving parts have a longer service life, sometimes make you forget to replace them. What is included in the slow moving component?

Get to Know the Slow Moving Component Maintenance of Your Vehicle

The first is the clutch. The task of the clutch is to channel the power generated by the engine to the car transmission. Clutch problems will make the power distribution can not run smoothly can even make the car break down. The driver will feel when the clutch starts to have problems such as difficulty moving gears on the manual transmission or loss of power on the automatic transmission. The clutch consists of several components but it's good to replace a set to ensure optimal performance and no more problems.

The second component is the legs of the car. This component is in the under the car that makes the owner rarely check on the legs of the vehicle. Whereas there is a steering system and car suspension system that plays an important role in maintaining driving comfort and safety. An optimal steering system will help the driver safely control the vehicle, while a maintained suspension system will ensure the ride feels comfortable. Components that are often problematic in this area are shock absorbers because the task is quite heavy, namely dampening shocks.

The next compenen is a car battery or battery. The task of this component is quite simple, which is to provide electric power to the starter system to start the car engine and channel electric power to components in need when the engine is turned off. If this component is problematic then it can be troublesome, such as the engine can not be turned on due to weak battery conditions. Especially if you like to install additional accessories such as lights and audio that confiscate a lot of electrical power. Normally the life of a car battery is about 2 to 4 years depending on usage.

The fourth component is the car tire. This component calculates the weight of its duties, namely channeling car power to the road, directing the vehicle, providing braking power, helping to absorb impact, to support the large weight of the vehicle. In fact, the contact field of this round rubber is very limited. Plus a hard work environment, such as passing hot asphalt roads, rough concrete, and hitting potholes or through damaged roads. Not to mention if the driver's driving style is quite rough or often passes through damaged roads that make the life of the tire decrease drastically.

"Spare parts of various types, AutoFamily needs to understand some important parts of the car. Not only troublesome when in trouble, some components such as clutch, shock absorber are many directly related to safety and driving comfort, so make sure it is always in top condition," said Nur Imansyah Tara, Aftersales Business Division Head Auto2000, Thursday (1/27/2022).

Suzuki Ertiga and XL7 Will Have Facelift, Using New Matik Transmission

 Maruti Suzuki in India is being widely reported. A number of new models are predicted to be worked on. Like the new SUV that gossip collaborates with Toyota. There is also a new generation Vitara Brezza and Baleno facelift. One of the most interesting, about the refreshment of Ertiga and XL6 (XL7). 

Launching gaadiwaadi, Ertiga facelift will launch in April 2022 with a new automatic transmission. Also mentioned, the transmission will be the same as that used by the new generation brezza. It is believed that the matik used is no longer conventional 4-speed. But the gearbox used by the Suzuki Vitara version of the global market. If true, it could be using an automatic 6-speed plus paddle shifter.

Considering that 4-speed matik is already classified as outdated technology, refreshment in the sector is quite reasonable. The proof, too, began many manufacturers who switched to CVT. The Toyota Avanza, Veloz and Daihatsu Xenia, as well as the Mitsubishi Xpander facelift. All switch from automatic 4-speed to CVT.

If the Ertiga and XL7 dead transmission turns into 6-speed, it is certainly no less interesting. Although still conventional, the number of more teeth will maximize engine performance. The tighter ratio creates a swift acceleration response and efficiency can also be maintained. Moreover, matched manual mode plus paddle shift, it will be more exciting

Talk about Suzuki's 6-speed automatic transmission, not foreign stuff. In Indonesia there is a Suzuki SX4 S-Cross that uses it since 2016. It is in charge of delivering power from the 1.5-liter M15A gasoline engine. If adopted to Ertiga and XL7 facelift later certainly not paired with the same engine.

Ertiga Minor Facelift, Mild Hybrid Plus Matik 6-Speed?

Suzuki Indomobil Sales has stated that it welcomes the era of electrification. Mild hybrid technology will be chosen as a breakthrough against competitors. The contestants are already there. Even appeared during the electric car show in Monas 2019 ago. Ertiga uses an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system. Similar to the technology used by the first generation Ertiga diesel hybrid.

Suzuki Ertiga and XL7 Will Have Facelift, Using New Matik Transmission

ISG work system is more instrumental in increasing efficiency while reducing emissions. Especially for automatic start and stop functions. It starts when the vehicle is in a stop position and the driver does not step on the pedals and gears in the 'N' or neutral position. Automatically the car performs an Engine Auto Stop that serves to turn off the engine. But the electrical system remains on. Then when the pedal is stepped on, ISG again starts the engine.

Regarding the look of the Ertiga facelift may not be able to expect much. From the leak of spy shots in India, it appears minor change from its outward appearance. Change only dwells on the grille. Possibly switching from chromium-clad bars to honeycomb. The stern even seems to experience no touch at all. If later there is, most only in the form of chromium garnish cosmetics for just the latest model suppressor. It is not yet known what is new about the interior.

Even so, there is still hope suzuki in Indonesia presents a different. But revamping the Ertiga and XL7 is a must. Because its opponents are increasingly advanced, related to the presentation of technology and features. According to our initial conclusions, the Ertiga facelift will change more in terms of mechanics and feature additions. Mild hybrid engine plus 6-speed matik can be enough provisions to win the competition. Do not forget the safety features can be further improved
