The fourth generation Toyota Vista (V40) has been manufactured since 1994. As before, Vista V40 was offered in two versions of a four-door body: a regular family type sedan (it received the designation alpha), as well as a stylish version of a hardtop sedan (with doors without frames), which is available starting from the second generations. Vista V40 is the latest Toyota Vista as an analogue of the Camry model with a narrow-body narrow body, which was made exclusively for the domestic market. The aggregate line of Toyota Vista Hardtop (V40) 1994-1996 completely repeats those modifications as the pre-styling version of the Toyota Camry in the same body: the car was equipped with a 4-cylinder DOHC gas engine of 1.8 or 2.0 liters, in addition, there was diesel modification 2.2 "turbo". An all-wheel drive version of this car was also provided.
 Toyota Vista is an ideal family car, with excellent comfort and equipment, while the hardtop body makes the sedan more elegant. A wide range of equipment options can satisfy the needs of different customers. Already in the initial configuration, the VJ Vista Hardtop sedan has front fog lights, a vertically adjustable steering wheel, power windows, automatic air conditioning, and for an extra fee - a leather-wrapped steering wheel, wood trim. The top-of-the-range VX equipment includes electric front seats, a remote key, a sound system with high-quality sound, a sunroof and other equipment. A Sporting-style Touring was also offered. In 1995, the Etoile V and VX Limited series were released with a special set of equipment.

 The basis of the Toyota Vista Hardtop (V40) 1994-1996 engine range is made up of S-series gasoline engines, which have proven their reliability and unpretentiousness. This is a 1.8-liter 125-horsepower 4S-FE as the base powertrain. And the two-liter 3S-FE with 140 hp, which became the most popular in the series, - as usual, modifications with this engine included not only front-wheel drive, but also all-wheel drive (135 l. with.). A Toyota Vista sedan with a diesel engine was also offered. They became a 3C-T turbodiesel with a capacity of 91 hp. - This motor was combined with both mechanical and automatic transmission (however, like gasoline units). An all-wheel drive modification was also provided for the diesel engine, which is interesting - only with an "automatic".

 Compared to the previous generation (V30), the Toyota VistaV40 chassis remains unchanged. Independent, spring suspension, MacPherson type front and rear. For some models, the 4WS (4 Wheel Steering) system, which provides maneuvering the vehicle with all four wheels, was still offered. This improves handling, but at the same time complicates the maintenance and repair of the suspension. Dimensional indicators of Toyota Vista Hardtop are optimal both in terms of spaciousness (interior dimensions - 1990 x 1450 x 1175 mm) and dimensions: the length of the car is 4650 (25 mm longer than the Vista Sedan), width and height - 1695 and 1410 mm The wheelbase is 2650 mm, the minimum turning radius is 5.4 m. The deep trunk has a decent volume, which can be further increased by a folding rear seat.

 For Toyota Vista V40 (1994-1996) as an option (for all versions), two airbags (driver and front passenger), as well as an anti-lock brake system were offered. Looking ahead, it can be noted that after restyling (since 1996) they were included in the list of standard equipment. High passive safety indicators are supported by the presence of three-point belts (including for the rear seat), side amplifiers in the doors. For some trim levels, the TRC system was offered.

 Toyota Vista is a typical city car, but thanks to its comfortable suspension, it does not save on a gravel road. Good noise isolation, excellent handling, reliable engines and suspension, relatively low fuel consumption, high build quality, the absence of serious problems with finding spare parts are the main criteria that the buyer usually focuses on, and Toyota Vista of this generation, if you make a discount on the age, it’s completely satisfies.
