Since 1966, the Japanese compact has been releasedcar, known as the Toyota Corolla. This is a very special car. After all, she was in 1974 hit the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling car in the world. Since then, many Corolla models have been released. And one of them was “Toyota-Rumion”. I would like to tell you about it.
Briefly about the model
Toyota Rumion was released in 2007.This model is interesting because it was built on the platform of a compact second-generation minivan Scion xB. It was supplied to the markets of many countries. Including in Australia, where this car was known under the name Toyota Rukus. In fact, the production of this compact and attractive minivan continues to this day.
Model length reaches 4210 mm, width is1760 mm, and height - about 1630 mm. Ground clearance for our roads is too small (13.5 cm), but Toyota-Corolla-Rumion was not supplied to Russia. However, it is quite possible to meet this model. She liked many, so that true motorists found ways to get a "Toyota", albeit right-hand drive. You can learn it from poluvzglyada. Attention is attracted by the angular shape of the body, the thin line of the radiator grille, the modest glass area and body-colored side mirrors with door handles. And the main "highlight" - optics expressive forms. From such a spectacular model could get a popular and purchased crossover.
Salon
Inside the Toyota Rumion looks simple, butattractive. Salon looks cozy thanks to a raised bottom line of side mirrors. This solution is also practical, because in this way the designers managed to protect the interior space. It can not fail to attract attention and the front panel. Its original design successfully combines horizontal and rounded lines. It seems that the panel supposedly consists of three ergonomic zones. And each of them, of course, is designed for certain functions.
Несмотря на то что «Тойота-Румион» выполнена в the back of a minivan, there was no space for a third row of seats. However, it is not surprising if we recall the length of 4.2 meters. But in the second row will comfortably accommodate 2-3 people. All seats have adjustment mechanisms and can please the presence of side and frontal space for passengers. Safety is provided by 8 airbags, and for comfortable driving the car is equipped with an on-board computer, climate control, an alarm system, an immobilizer and an assistant for emergency braking.
What's under the hood?
This is the last thing I would like to mention.attention, talking about such a car as "Toyota-Rumion". Specifications of this machine are impressive. The choice of potential buyers offered several engines. The 1.8-liter 136-hp was very popular. He worked in tandem with a CVT gearbox and was installed only under the hoods of all-wheel drive models. It was an economical engine. At 100 kilometers, he consumed only 6.7 liters of fuel in the combined cycle. True, there was another popular unit, but it produced only 110 "horses" with a volume of 1.5 liters. and was placed only under the hood of front-wheel drive versions.
All versions of the Toyota Corolla Rumion receivedpositive reviews from ordinary car lovers and professional connoisseurs. And the fact that the Russians ordered these minivans from their homeland is just another confirmation of the quality.
