Toyota WISH
The Toyota Wish is a 6/7-seater minivan equipped with either a 1.8 L or 2.0 L engine. First launched in 2003 by Toyota, it is positioned below the Ipsum, and above the Spacio. Consequently, its main competitor is the Honda Stream and the Nissan Liberty.
Apart from Japan, the Wish is also assembled in Thailand (for Thailand only) and Taiwan (for Taiwan only).
2003
The Wish was launched in Japan in January2003, under a massive publicity campaign with Japanese singer Hikaru Utada singing the commercial model and also coinciding with the launch of her new CD-single. The car is marketed under the "Wish Comes True" slogan. Codenamed ZNE10G (FF) and ZNE14G (4wd), it uses a 1.8 L 1ZZ-FE engine, producing (JIS) 132 PS and 170 N·m. It is only available with 4-speed automatic. A 2 L version (codenamed ANE11W for the 6-seater version and ANE10G for the 8-seater version) was launched in April 2003. Equipped with the 1AZ-FE direct-injection engine, it has (JIS) 155 PS (114 kW) and 192 N·m (142 lbf·ft). It is only available with a CVT gearbox.
2006
The car was a huge success in Japan, and featured in the best sellers chart regularly, no mean feat for an MPV. The Toyota Wish was updated at the end of 2005 with the introduction of a facelifted model. The car was fundamentally well designed, and the success of the original model meant that few changes were necessary. Cosmetic changes to the headlights, bumpers, LED tail-lights and dashboard were made, together with revised switchgear for the climate control and automatic transmission. The drivetrain and engines remained the same.
