It offers a 2.4-liter diesel engine that can deliver an output of 147hp and 400Nm.

Worth mention is that Toyota hasn’t scrimped on their interior materials, with soft-touch features used throughout and a light and elegant color scheme adding even more style. Other trendy features are shiny plastics along with premium touchscreen entertainment system and a meaty, modern steering wheel.
