2019 Toyota Esquire Hybrid

The 2019 Toyota Esquire Hybrid (ZWR80G Series) is a flagship compact MPV (minivan) position above the Toyota Noah and Voxy. Designed as an executive multi-passenger transport option, the Esquire features a distinctive large waterfall-style chrome vertical front grille, sleek dual-eye LED projector headlights, dynamic lower bumper cladding, integrated chrome waistline trim, dual power-sliding side doors, and a tall, boxy silhouette designed to maximize cabin roominess. Trim levels include the Hybrid Xi, Hybrid Gi, and the top-tier Hybrid Gi "Premium Package" / "Black Tailored". Under the bonnet, the Esquire Hybrid utilizes Toyota’s proven 1.8-liter (1,797cc) 2ZR-FXE Atkinson-cycle 4-cylinder petrol engine combined with an electric motor to generate a total system output of 136 PS (134 hp / 100 kW). Power is sent to the front wheels (2WD) via an electronic continuously variable transmission (eCVT). The hybrid system runs on a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery pack mounted under the front seats, preserving flat floor space and interior versatility while providing exception fuel economy. Inside, the cabin features Synthetic Leather or premium semi-aniline leather upholstery, second-row captain chairs with long-slide capabilities and integrated ottomans (7-seater layout), woodgrain interior accents, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear AC controls, a central touchscreen display with Japanese navigation/infotainment system, smart keyless entry with push-button start, and flat floor access.
