Pros & What Makes It Special
• More premium feel compared to base 1.6 models: better equipment, more features.
• The CVT automatic gives smoother driving in city traffic.
• Good resale value (Toyota / Indus Motor Co cars in Pakistan generally hold value well).
• Decent comfort for passengers, good boot space, a balanced size for urban and highway driving.
• Variety of colour choices and some cosmetic upgrades can appeal to those wanting “look & feel” without going to top-end variants.

⸻

Things to Consider / Trade-Offs
• Fuel consumption in city traffic may not be great because of automatic transmission / weight.
• Maintenance: features like dual VVT-i, CVT require proper servicing; parts may be costlier than base models.
• Some “special edition” features might be more cosmetic; so check what’s included in a particular car, since specs across dealers can vary.
• If you want sportier performance or quicker acceleration, the 1.8 or hybrid options (if available) might be better.
