Introduction

Overall Review of Toyota Aqua

The Toyota Aqua is a subcompact hybrid hatchback that is known for its excellent fuel economy and affordability. It gets up to 35 kilometers per liter (80 miles per gallon), making it a good choice for city driving and commuting. The Aqua is also relatively affordable, making it a good option for budget-minded buyers.

However, the Aqua does have some drawbacks. The interior space is a bit cramped, and the ride can be a bit bumpy. The interior materials are also not the highest quality. Overall, the Toyota Aqua is a good choice for city driving and commuting, but it is not the best choice for families or those who need a lot of cargo space.

Performance

The Toyota Aqua is a full hybrid gasoline hatchback that is known for its fuel efficiency and innovative driving system. It is marketed as having a fuel efficiency of 37 kilometers per liter (km/l) according to the Japanese JC08 test cycle. However, users have reported an average fuel economy of about 22-24 km/l in real-world driving conditions.

The Aqua is powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor that produces a combined output of 73 kilowatts (kW). It is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 10.7 seconds. The Aqua is mated to an electric continuously variable transmission (CVT) and is only available in two-wheel drive configurations.

The Aqua’s driving system is highly innovative and synergized to provide superior performance. The new Aqua can use electric power in more situations, and EV mode can drive the car up to 40 km/h, which is an improvement from the previous 15 km/h.

Exterior

The Aqua has a sleek and aerodynamic design with a sloping roofline and a wide stance. It is available in a variety of colors, including white, black, silver, and blue.

The front end of the Aqua is characterized by its swept-back headlights and a large grille. The side profile of the car is smooth and flowing, with a pronounced character line that runs from the front fender to the rear. The rear end of the Aqua is simple and stylish, with a small trunk and a rear spoiler.

Interior

The interior of the Toyota Aqua is designed to be comfortable. The front seats are supportive and offer a decent amount of legroom, even for tall passengers. The rear seats are also comfortable and can accommodate three adults in a pinch.

The dashboard is simple and uncluttered, with all of the controls easy to reach. The infotainment system is standard on all models and features a touchscreen display. The Aqua also comes standard with a rearview camera and Bluetooth connectivity.

Features

The Toyota Aqua is the first Toyota model to feature the Comfort Pedal, a unique driving experience for hybrid electric vehicles. The Comfort Pedal allows the driver to control the car’s acceleration and deceleration by simply varying the pressure on the accelerator pedal. This makes it easier to drive smoothly and efficiently in stop-and-go traffic.

The Comfort Pedal works by using a combination of the gasoline engine and electric motor to provide smooth and seamless acceleration and deceleration. When the driver presses the accelerator pedal lightly, the car will accelerate using the electric motor only. As the driver presses the pedal more firmly, the gasoline engine will gradually engage to provide additional power. When the driver releases the pedal, the car will decelerate using the electric motor and regenerative braking.

Our Recommendation

We recommend you for the scheduled maintenance that should be performed at 5,000 miles or 6 months, 15,000 miles or 18 months, and 30,000 miles or 36 month intervals. Regular maintenance is important to keep the car running smoothly and to prevent major problems in the future
