2009 Toyota Wish with Valvematic unveiled!

2009 Toyota Wish

Toyota has unveiled a redesigned version of the popular 7-seater Toyota Wish MPV. The Wish goes on sale in Japan first and will probably come to Malaysia soon.

In Japan, the Wish receives Toyota’s new Valvematic engines. Valvematic is a continuously variable valve timing and valve lift mechanism, while VVT-i which affects timing. The engines are the 2ZR-FAE for the 1.8L model and the 3ZR-FAE for the 2.0L.

The 2.0L makes an impressive 158 PS at 6,200rpm and 196Nm of torque at 4,400rpm (of course the king of the hill is still the Optima facelift’s 163 PS), while the 1.8L units either put out 144 PS and 176Nm of torque or 133 PS and 164Nm of torque. The lower figures are for models equipped with the 4WD drivetrain.

All engines are mated to the Super CVT-i transmission, and some have manual paddle shifting for 7 virtual CVT gear ratios.

2009 Toyota Wish

Fuel consumption is said to have improved and exceeds Japanese 2010 standards by 20% for the 1.8L model, and 15% for the 2.0L model. The 2.0L unit gets 15.2km/l based on the Japanese 10-15 cycle, and the 1.8L model gets 16.0km/l.

In terms of practicality, the maximum luggage capacity has had its width increased by 95mm. The slimmer seatbacks for the seats increase legroom for the rows behind it. Front diagonal visibility is better by attaching the side mirrors to the door panels and reducing the width of the A-pillars. Seat covers have been treated with an anti-mite agent, and the climate control system has the Camry’s Plasmacluster air-purifying technology. The steering wheel is both tilt and reach adjustable.

2009 Toyota Wish

The Wish also adds an improved version of VSC called S-VSC, which also uses the electric power steering system to apply appropriate steering torque to help stabilize it. High spec models get features such as keyless entry and start via a push button starter. The Wish has a parking assist system that tells you when to turn the steering wheel and when to back up during parallel parking, but doesn’t turn the wheel for you itself. There is also a 10-speaker Wish Panoramic Live Sound System for surround sound audio.

Look after the jump for a video and a fully featured photo gallery of the new Wish with lots of focus on the small details all over the interior.

    why no 1.6L dual vvt-i engine ? why need to go for 1.8L and 2.0L ?

  16. Arise said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 3:29 pm

    couple with this super cvt gearbox, I think the power loss is kept to minimal ? If compares with 4AT gearbox ?

  17. Littlefire said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 3:32 pm

    Japanese are not so stupid and they need to match with the strict emission rule in Japan, that why the valvematic engine came out. Even Wish also need minimum 1.8L engine to move, Exora is nice to see but the problem now is the 1.6L engine…

    I think the Dual VVT-i is made for those sedan cars like Vios, Altis & Camry. Hmm… even the new alphad also using Dual VVT-i for their V6/V8 engines… Maybe this valvematic engine is a marketing gimic to attract those Honda Stream owners to change to Wish..

    Semua orang sokong exora dengan enjin 1.6L tak ada masalah pun. Engkau seorang sahaja yang cerita pasal emisi control and syak prasangka dengan enjinnya.

    nice exterior…. like it. Interior simple and practical like current version.

    wondering the price soon? RM173,000?

    is it fair to compared this with Exora?

  27. JeBond said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 5:03 pm

    Please don’t compare Exora with New Wish… So biggest different

  28. Prem3377 said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 5:32 pm

    ugly exterior styling..its ok if its for japan only because its cheap there…

    but when it comes to malaysia..the pricing is too high..we can get a hyundai santa Fe which can seat 7 with a good diesel engine plus better styling and a SUV…

    or get 2 proton exora for the price of one..or one exora and another honda city…or etc…

    in Malaysia the price is ridiculous..and it will be the same in the near future…

    about the car..typical toyota design…conservative..

    interior…too ugly and weird..two aircond vent for driver and passenger??what a waste…

    - Not in the same class as Exora.
    - Better compare it with Stream / Grandis / Mazda 5.
    - For people with income above RM7500 per month.

    … but hopefully someday our kind Mr Paul can do a shoot-out between this Wish/Stream/Mazda 5 and Exora… just curious to see how our local car compete with those of Japanese origins.

    .peace!

    Wah, now people are benchmarking this Wish with Exora…

  35. Prem3377 said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 6:40 pm

    yah madboy…its weird..

    which is becoming the benchmark??proton or wish??and the best part is both car is not out yet!!

    these people must be back from the future..haha

    proton exora cannot be compared to toyota wish..and yet people want to..credit must be given to Exora cause its competing against a higher class competitor..

    proton exora has two main rival…the grand livina and kia rondo..livina is great but dont feel special…rondo feel special but cannot seat 7 adults…it really impress people with its design..so exora must feel special and great to beat both!!avanza its nowhere near..

  36. nabil said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 6:58 pm

    i think its the lavina thats targeting realistically since the rondo wont attract many buyers due to the badge perhaps…exora wd probably take buyers away from lavina rather than rondo…forget abt avanza that is garbage

  37. wiseboy said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 6:59 pm

    Just checked the official Toyota JP website, price range is ¥1,840,000
    ?¥2,480,000; which translates to roughly RM66K – RM89K. Doubt the price will ever be so good in Malaysia.

  42. Rulered said,

    April 3, 2009 @ 8:57 pm

    Looks more proportionate since it is slightly widened from the 1st gen Wish.
    It fits the bill as a midrange MPV family car. 15.2km/l for 2.0 and 16.0l/km for 1.8 is quite interesting actually. I won’t compare it to Caldina though because I can’t put my finger on what segment Caldina falls into (a bit identity crisis) as its not actually a station wagon/too small for an MPV/doesn’t really falls into ‘Subaru Impreza’ or it’s likes territory/definitely not a sedan, possibly a cross breed which have it’s own fan base of course. (sorry Caldina fan).
    Pricing wise, I think it would be somewhere around Stream or slightly more. Probably only 1.8 will be introduced first and UMW will consider 2.0 depending on the response, hard to judge at this current time.

    I really don’t like the dahboard design. If U guys may see properly here -> http://paultan.org/photo/2009-Toyota-Wish/2009-Toyota-Wish-22.jpg.php

    The aircond vents for the front passenger is very near to eachother. It’s look like only the front passenger would feel the A/C.

    One more thing, is it me or the dashboard design is like an unmatched jigsaw puzzle. Mixing squares, rounds and rectangles all together in one wide dashboard. It’s kinda weird. I like the previous version, more simple and practical. I bet Grandis have better dashboard design.

    to me first generation exora 1.6, is a test product ,that the fact. but i believe p1 will get put other engine,later . They hv to ,they dont want exora become a failure.

    this wish look ok to me…but i got no money to buy, not even exora…thx paul tan to give me a page to komen without charge :P

    i vtec is different with valvematic
    real i vtec ( civic 2.0 and accord 2.4 i vtec, other are fake i vtec as did’t have vtc) have variable lift and continuous variable valve timing while valvematic have continuous variable valve timing and dual continuous variable valve timing .

  51. Jie said,

    April 4, 2009 @ 12:10 am

    In terms of looks, Stream fares much better. But in substance, on paper Wish 1.8l model is more powerful than Stream 1.8l.

    Paul, is the Super CVT-i concept similar to Honda’s old CVVT?

    Seems to have front air-cond blower only, just like Stream. So Exora wins here.

    The second row seats require 2 moves to fold flat, compared with just one for Stream.

    Overall, I think it is better than Stream, which is very hard to say from a Stream owner myself. But with Malaysians having bought already way too many of the current Wish, I’m not sure they will be willing to buy this new one so soon.

    Currently, driving the NFL Wish. To me the new design takes too much ques from Estima, don’t look that “garang” as the current generation.The overall layout remains the same maybe a bit wider so abit more spacious. Certainly I hate the aircon vents and interior color scheme prefer the current one. Somehow the front facia look hap-hazard.

    One thing I luv about Wish is the Fuel Consumption JB-Malacca-KL -JB in 1 fuel tank. Good to hear that it gets better.

    So maybe after looking it in flesh, can better comment.

  58. helmi said,

    April 4, 2009 @ 3:20 am

    The design is boring, too typical, too Japanese. The price I’m sure is damn expensive here as usual. I blame it partly to government tax, but the most & worst of the thing here is to the greedy bloodsucking UMW. Wanna buy cheap Toyota, they will offer you the lousy, third word class design such as Avanza or Innova.

    already love the current wish design, now the new wish makes me drools……haha.

    Pls dun compare Wish and Exora lar, 2 totally different manufacturer, one is world leading and another is trying hard for survival. Of coz target audience is different as well. Proton is more towards localise version and Wish is a global mpv. Attention on details is different too.

    Though Proton is doing a great job on recent car model, esp. Exora. Good job, Proton!

    chill bro..chill..he’s right, the 1.6 kinda underpowered..i’m not saying the engine is not good..but the body is not suitable..but no worry, sure proton will introduce new bigger engine. nway, hopefully UMW not going to downgrade this wish b4 entering msia market…like putting old 1.8 vvti engine.

    For mid size MPV, I preferred Mazda5 due to it sliding door feature…
    But, if we compare with New gen Wish & Stream….Which one is better?
    Which one is value for mney in form of FC, Performance, Resale Value?

    I heard somebody mentioned about Exora.. :)

    [quote comment="226706"]Just checked the official Toyota JP website, price range is ¥1,840,000
    ?¥2,480,000; which translates to roughly RM66K – RM89K. Doubt the price will ever be so good in Malaysia.

    If it really RM66k – RM89k. Then it will be fanstatic. But don’t forget out lousy govet tax :(

    Fine line between a station wagon and mid size MPV these days. I parked my midsize MPV to a station wagon, Volvo V5 if not mistaken and it’s almost the same size and height, mine of course have the choice of 3rd row suitable for small kids or extra space to carry other loads hence explains the term multipurpose, I can’t think of any other difference.

    looks good, but stream still looks better ie handsome and more striking whereas wish looks very much like the estima.

    maybe the engine is much better than honda stream in terms of fuel efficiency and power.
