"Toyota Crown Premium" - quality from the Japanese manufacturer

The car "Toyota Crown Premium" is very different from its predecessors, although it is still manufactured in the "sedan" class. Since the model belongs to the budget segment, it is not worth waiting for special frills. The advantage of Premio is the well-known quality. The company values its reputation, and produces only high-tech models from the conveyor.

In the distant 1957 Japanese Corporation Toyota Motor Corporation introduced to motorists the first version of the Corona series. But the years went by and technologies were constantly improving. This car has gained popularity, mainly due to its reliability. That's why the company periodically updated the model, installing on it different novelties. In 1996, the first car of the Toyota Corona Premio series appeared.

Technical equipment

Almost completely updated body, it has become more youthful, stylish for its time, under the hood is placed a powerful engine. "Toyota Crown Premio" will please the owner with draft of 145 liters. S (at 6000 rpm - max.) And a working volume of 2000 cu. See This unit operates only on 92 or 95 octane gasoline. The fuel supply is carried out using the direct injection system D-4 (for injecting fuel meets the injector). The arrangement of the cylinders is in the standard L4, the position of the valves and the camshaft is an overhead valve with two camshafts.
Later, the sedan received 3 more new types of gasoline engines, as well as a diesel engine.

Equipment

For switching speeds in the car "Toyota Corona Premio" with the engine D-4 responds "robot" with a 4-speed transmission. However, for later versions (1997-2001) operating on newer units, a 5-step mechanics is also offered as an option.
All versions of this model work on the front drive, the front and rear suspension are supported by shock absorbers (on coil springs). The brake system is very thought out. In this issue, the manufacturer's careful approach is felt. In front of the "Toyota Crown Premium" is equipped with disc ventilated brakes, and behind the operation of the system meet the drum. It is this concept that allows you to correctly distribute the inhibition, which is an indisputable plus.
Also worth paying attention to the large volume of the fuel tank (60 liters), which is inherent in not all modern cars.

Dimensions

The ground clearance, as for a sedan, is large enough, it is 155 mm, with a radius of 14-inch wheel discs. "Toyota Crown Premium" (photo below) has a body with the following dimensions: 4520х1695х1410 mm. The wheelbase is 2580 mm. Weight of the car (equipped) - 1190 kg.

What is the lack of a model?

Perhaps one of the main drawbacks of this car is the fact that the cars of this model are produced only on the right-hand drive, as when developing the updated Corona the manufacturer relied mainly on the domestic market, as well as on buyers from the UK. However, if the driver wants to ride a thoroughbred "Japanese", then it's easy to get used to such an arrangement.

Reviews

According to experts, Toyota Corona Premio ideally feels on the roads. A trip around the city or the road is accompanied by a positive dynamics and the absence of extraneous noise of work as separate aggregate nodes, and their interaction in a bunch. If we talk about control in general, then the Japanese have enough to handle the steering; Switching speeds on the mechanics has become even more pleasant, and most of the shortcomings in the box "automatic" inherent in its predecessors have also been eliminated.

Despite the long-term release (the latest version was released in 2001) and continued operation, today it is still possible to meet the Toyota Crown Premium car in a good and stable condition, as strict quality control is an inherent property of Japanese engineering.
