Petrol consumption is good in long run. Can’t notice the difference when use 90 octane and 95. I do not know what is recommended octane for Allion. Hope above 90 is accepted. HID and LEDs would have been standard for a vehicle of this class in year 2009.

Second genertion allion was out in 2007 september. By 2010 will there be a new face lift or changes in the design. Do not know what sort of changes. Hope there will be LED’s

Agreed. 15 or 16 in would fit great into this one along with the TRD sports kit that’s available in JDM. And this car isn’t to replace the Corolla Altis. It’s larger than the Corolla but smaller than the Camry (Camry is smaller than the Mark X/Crown Royal). So it’s just filling a gap in the middle. As for the 1.5L engine, it’s for economy since a major portion of buyers are from urban areas in Japan. They’re not blessed with our low fuel prices in SG/MY.

The car is all round superb, As a standard fitting why the mud flaps, fog lights & door visors are not provided. 14 inch standard wheel size is too small for the vehicle, 15 inch is the correct size. Steering wheel seems to be little big, better it would have been smaller.

I’ve just got my Allion and am still running in (1000km required for run-in). So far, I’m quite satisifed with the car. Some features that are a nice surprise for a car in the sub 1.5 liter segment are:
1) Climate control aircon;
2) Individual reading lights. There are also light in the sun-shade mirrors as well;
3) Adjustable tilt for the head lamps;
4) Push button start;
5) Keyless entry;
6) The cabin light turns on automatically once you are near to your car;
7) Auto head light on or off depending on the lighting conditions;
Rear seats can be tilted and folded to greatly increase the already huge boot space (I can sleep inside the boot…I’m serious…);
9) Immobilizer that will stop the car if someone drove it off without the key;
10) Fuel consumption meter that calculates your average fuel consumption;
11) Econ-mode indicator that let you know if you are reving the engine more than it needs to…
12) Separate Seat belt warning for driver and front passenger;
13) Multitude of storage compartments to store your stuffs and keep the interior clear by hiding all those messy junks;
14) Foldable side mirrors;
15) etc, which I have yet to discover.

And for those who doubts that a 1.5l engine can pull off a 1.4ton body, have no fear, the pickup is still faster than a Honda Jazz or Stream. you can rev it harder….as long as you don’t give a damn to the econ-mode indicator…lol

I would like to know more details of toyota Allion technical specifications. At the moment I am using a Allion 2007 manufactured model, I am quite satisfied with the vehicle.

Thanks

I personally view the car last weekend, almost the same size as Mark X, luxury interio i must say but the engine size apperantly not that appearing as it come with 1.5cc + original 14″ rim!!! *alternatively theres 1.8cc to choose… when saw the rims i was like… omg man, with such big body equip with such small rims, it rather ugly or not suitable at all & the price also very appearing as the sales girl said this baby cost at least SGD$71k -.-” *imagine if go for 1.8cc how much will it cost… if wan luxury car, theres plenty of it rather then this one.
IMO, this car certainly not worth it. Go down the showroom see for your self with your naked eyes. I not condeming this car, I jus feel disapointed on it, really.
Allion Pros:
1, Beauty, spacious & luxury
2, Good FC *which stats on the specs
3, Rare species
Allion Cons:
1, 1.5cc engine is real turn off with such big body + 14″ rims.
2, Pricey babe.
3, For SG buyer, this car avail on PI only.

Very nice. Jez bought allion A18 2001 model (2002 recon unreg) few days ago for a bit above 100K (9 tahun loan ma..). I’m still in cloud nine since then. The fuel economy is incredible.
Need ur advice Paul,.. Is the shocks and coils the same as toyota wish (thats what I’m being told)? Another thing will 17 inches rim with 50 inches tyres fit the allion? Thanx in advance…

I want a feature to temporarily activate those side air-curtains while I’m having a nap in the car! I’d like my curtain with Doraemon or Cinnamoroll patterns please! Serious, this is as good as in-car comfort gets. :p

A large car with a tiny engine? It looks more of a 2.0 – 2.4L kind of car. Just wait and see, we might see this coming in as recond.

Haha, yeah – if you have to crash, doesn’t mean you can’t do it with style. Can I have Burberry airbags please?

JDM=Japan Domestic Market.. means that car only sell in Japan… A lot of models they sell only in japan mainly is to see how the consumer respond to the new models.. Normally if the models are hot cakes they will consider to sell out from Japan.. That why you see in others country the models of new cars are always come late then Japan..
