2018 Toyota Esquire

The 2018 Toyota Esquire (R80 Facelift Generation) is the premier, luxury-oriented counterpart to the Toyota Noah and Voxy minivans. Built on the same versatile R80 platform, the Esquire stands out with its opulent executive styling, highlighted by a bold, vertical crown-inspired front grille with chrome accents, sleek multi-beam LED headlights, and subtle chrome side moldings. Positioning itself as a premium 7- or 8-seater MPV, trims for the 2.0L model include the well-appointed Xi and the top-spec luxury Gi (along with executive Black-Tailored special editions). Under the bonnet, this variant is powered by Toyota's reliable 2.0-liter 3ZR-FAE 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine equipped with Valvematic technology, producing 152 PS (150 hp / 112 kW) and 193 Nm of torque. Engine power is paired with a smooth Super CVT-i automatic transmission with 7-speed manual shift capability, available in either Front-Wheel Drive (2WD) or Active Torque Control 4WD. Inside, the Esquire features a high-end cabin with soft-touch synthetic leather dashboard panels, wood-grain or black metallic interior trim, synthetic leather/fabric combination seats, dual power-sliding doors, dual-zone automatic climate control with rear ceiling air vents, and high-efficiency Toyota Safety Sense driver assistance systems.
