The Toyota Ist car, designed in the tradition of SUV style, was designed as a beautiful compact car with a roomy trunk and a sporty interior design. This car, built on the NBC multi-platform, is closely connected with such models as Toyota BB, Platz, Vitz and, as is often practiced by Japanese manufacturers, was originally intended only for domestic consumption, but was later introduced to foreign markets as an export model The first generation Ist (NCP60) was sold under the names Toyota xA and Scion Xa. During the first month after Ist entered the market in May 2002, buyers purchased 42 thousand cars of this model, which made Ist a bestseller in the Japanese car market. Many chose this car because of its pleasant exterior and interior in all respects, its reasonable price and economy. Of course, Toyota Ist's main competitors are such popular models as the Honda Fit and Nissan March. The developers managed to maintain a balance of panache and power, which are clearly expressed in the design of Ist. Outstanding wheel arches coupled with 15-inch wheels emphasize the off-road style of this car. The windows widened in the front of the car gradually taper towards the tailgate, which is in line with fashion trends in automotive design. Do not forget about the good roominess and other amenities associated with this - the rear seats can be folded down and get a big trunk; under the trunk floor there is an additional place for things, and a hook on the back of the driver's seat will allow you to hang your handbag. The first generation Ist is represented by trim levels of different price levels. In budget versions like “1.3f E edition” there is only audio preparation, of the usual options - only manual air conditioning, power steering, tilt steering column, rear wiper. In the expensive “1.5 S L edition” trim levels, the car is equipped with automatic air conditioning, leather steering wheel braid, xenon headlights and front fog lights, a rear roof spoiler, navigation system, DVD, alloy wheels, etc. e. Partial improvements affected this popular car more than once: the first changes that affected interior elements and body colors occurred already in 2003, and more global ones in 2004.

 At Ist, engines of 1.3 and 1.5 liters are used, which are used in the Toyota Vitz. These are the motors of the 2NZ-FE and 1NZ-FE series with a capacity of 87 and 109 hp. (in one and a half liter versions with all-wheel drive - 105 hp). The features of these power units include high fuel economy and low levels of harmful substances in exhaust gases, especially for cars since February 2004, when U-LEV standards were adopted for all cars to reduce emissions by 50% by 2005. It should be noted that for the urban Ist, the 1.3 engine is quite sufficient, given the light weight of the car, although in terms of resource and specific power, of course, the version with a 1.5-liter engine is preferable.

 Toyota Ist suspension is, of course, a compromise for all budget cars: front struts with coil springs and a rear semi-independent torsion bar suspension for front-wheel drive cars and a continuous axle on all-wheel drive springs. Hence, there is some stiffness of the suspension, but on the other side of the balance there is unlimited simplicity and reliability of the design. If we talk about all-wheel drive, then it is organized according to the V-Flex 4WD scheme, which is also widespread for many “compacts,” with rear wheels connected by a viscous coupling. Given the decent clearance for a base of 2370 mm in size (155 mm), the presence of 4WD will give the owner some advantages when driving on country and forest roads (lovers of summer cottages and picnics), and even in winter on a slippery road. Safety Toyota Ist as standard is provided by frontal and lateral (option) airbags, seat belts with pretensioners and load limiters, child seat locking mechanism, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist systems. A crash test conducted in 2003 by NASVA (Japan) showed a high level of passive safety - the car received six out of six stars for protecting the driver and five stars for the front passenger. The name of this car can be translated from English as “an expert in his field,” and this very accurately describes the Toyota Ist as an almost perfect compact car, roomy and nimble, equally suitable for both men and women. On the market, this generation is almost equally divided between machines with engines of 1.3 and 1.5 liters, among the second often all-wheel drive is also found. For all modifications of this model, only a four-speed automatic transmission is installed, and this is a definite plus in terms of “traditional values”.
