    Rented one of these (2.5L Ascent) to drive from Sydney to the Gold Coast and back. Comfortable and adaptive cruise control was excellent on the motorway. The engine was economical and fine for cruising but a bit lacking under hard acceleration - I'd go for the hybrid or V6 if you're looking for performance.

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  5 лет назад

      Good to hear. Agreed on the power point - the V6 is pretty strong but the hybrid is the hidden gem. 160kW is heaps of power and it uses half the fuel of the V6...

    This is a most brilliant car! I just bought one - in Blue Mica. Hybrid SL. It has everything a man could want! Lol every gadget except Apple play - but... this can be installed. Brilliant looks and styling and the hybrid is so wonderfully economical! It’s such a well made vehicle. Well done Toyota.

    hmm honestly it's a nice looking car, looks sportier with like 4 exhaust at the back but correct me if I am wrong, but pausing at 01:04 I could see. like at least two of those exhaust are not real exhaust?is it only for looks? the exhaust pipes don't go all in while the other two exhaust pipes looks like there's hole in them that go all the way to the catalytic converter underneath the car chassis

    Funny how reviewers all like to tell us the V6 was the big news, but in reality almost no one is buying them (a tiny 3%) and Toyota has responded just recently by cancelling the V6.

      It's a crying shame drive a 4cyl Camry then drive the Aurion of the same vintage v6 is far better drive, quite, smooth, refined and under hard acceleration make a pleasant exhaust note doesn't sound thrashy like the 4pot and goes like a rocket sports car acleration and only uses about 1lt per 100 extra over the 4cyl and far better resale value Aurion carry about 2k difference over the Camry when 5 or 10 yo

    I tested the hybrid today. Why battery is nickel metal and not lithium? Nice interior. Nice driving position, good vision. Steering gave the same positive feedback as driving an Xbox ( none!). Going over speed bumps in the car park was so floaty I felt sea sick for the first time in my life. Perhaps a faulty damper? Loved the active cruse control. Has lane warning but not lane keeping. Why do they stick cheap black plastic slats on the back near the lights on upper models?
    This would definitely be a smart buy as a family car. Rear vents, big boot. It is very economical and will last many years. But I need to feel I am driving a car, not an xbox.
