Toyota Wish XE10, 1 generation 01.2003 - 08.2005

Toyota Wish is a relatively compact minivan with three rows of seats that can accommodate 7 people. The base for the car was the Toyota Corolla. Since Toyota Wish belongs to the class of minivans, it is fully consistent with popular trends in the market and, thus, has won the recognition of consumers. The exterior of the car is made in a sporty style. Its lines are as if brought into a single monolithic form. Side windows extended to the trunk provide excellent visibility. Thanks to the wide wheelbase and flat floor, it was possible to save enough space for all passengers and the luggage compartment. One of the main differences in cars with two and three rows of seats can be called luggage space and convenience from the various organization of seats in the cabin.
 In equipping Wish, the manufacturer clearly sought to create a car close to ideal. This minivan is equipped with a multifunctional steering wheel, a “beard” with a gear knob and climate control buttons is highlighted in the center of the front panel, the interior, which has dark colors, provides for upholstery made of high-quality materials, everywhere there is an abundance of cup holders, holders, pockets, under the front passenger seat and under the trunk floor there are boxes where you can put the tool or various "little things". Of course, Wish’s trunk is not too large by itself, but you can completely fold back the back seats of the third or even second row, and if you also fold the front seat, you will also be able to carry a long load. The sporting class of expensive trim levels is emphasized by an aero body kit, the steering wheel and gear knob with leather braid.

The power of this power unit is 155 hp. and it is equipped only with a variator, and the type of drive is only front.

 Toyota Wish front suspension - spring strut with coil spring. Rear - double lever. However, on front-wheel drive versions, the rear has a simple torsion bar suspension.

But if desired, the buyer could strengthen the preventive protection with side airbags and curtains - they were offered as an option.

 Toyota Wish is a serious competitor to many minivans, even inside the Toyota range. A wide variety of configurations, as well as the availability of versions with a different type of drive, engine size and transmission, made this minivan popular. For some time in the domestic Japanese market, Wish even led in sales. So it is no coincidence that the name of the car (“desire”) meets high customer demands. And the offer on the secondary market is varied both in price and in technical condition.
