Car Review - 2003 Toyota Revo 1.8 Sr Features & Specifications


2003 Toyota Revo 1.8 Sr - There’s ever something alluring alongside the daughter side past times side door.  She may non go the prettiest, sexiest or richest, but somehow she ever manages to elevator your spirits alongside her honest to goodness smile.  It seems that you’ve known her all your life—she’s dependable, reliable as well as trustworthy.  In short, she’s similar a Toyota Revo.

The Revo is the AUV side past times side door.  It’s surely non the prettiest or the best handler of the lot, but alongside a full 2002 sales figure of 11,715 units—it managed to compaction the competition, undoubtedly thank you lot to a good thought-out package.

The Revo has gone a long means since its bare essential taxi-fleet days.  Now, especially inwards the top-of-the-range SR guise, it gains sure blueprint cues that were in i trial reserved for Lexus 4x4s.  Though non obvious to the casual observer, sure particular elements are nicely integrated.



The headlamps are straight off bigger as well as even out improve alongside the grille, creating a streamlined look.  The lower bumper has been changed equally well, to contain front end fog lamps as well as a mentum spoiler that’s non likewise dissimilar from the Camry's.  The grille has been given a ‘honey-comb’ design—accentuated past times a unmarried chrome trace cutting through the middle alongside a huge Toyota badge.  From the back, it’s trying to emulate a Lexus LX470 alongside its novel nurture light cluster.

Obviously done to attract the Zigen laid are some of the typical AUV tricks of the trade: two-tone pigment scheme, over fenders, added trunk cladding as well as stickers, plus the ubiquitous nurture spoiler.

Toyota has moved the Revo SR upwards the luxury scale past times adding two-tone perforated leather seats equally standard.  Though non alone comfortable on long journeys, this is the best moo-cow enshroud to ever grace the interior of an AUV.  The RAV4-style, fatty three-spoke leather steering bicycle combined alongside the metallic element middle console as well as air-conditioning vents provides some ample sporty flair.



Beyond the funky novel CD/VCD player, dual 5.6-inch LCD monitors, as well as all ability amenities, the existent highlight of the interior is the flexibility.  The front end bench straight off offers an arm balance alongside dual loving cup holders, piece the minute row tin straight off slide, recline as well as flexure inwards a 60/40 ratio.  A mutual characteristic inwards European cars, this tin create additional room for luggage past times only flipping over a department of the seat.  This increases charge lugging without sacrificing much of the rider hauling.

For all of Toyota’s improvements as well as fine-tuning, the Revo SR, however remains an AUV at heart.  Like its truck based competition, it suffers greatly from misfortunate mechanical refinement when compared to a rider car.

The gasoline-fed 1.8-liter OHV inline-4 is gruff as well as boomy.  Though generating a considerable 94 hp, it fails to force the 1435-kilogram SR alongside whatsoever considerable ease; mated to a hard-shifting four-speed automatic makes for a less than desirable experience.  Mileage is unexceptional, managing 8.12 kilometers per liter.



Beyond the insipid engine as well as transmission combination, the Revo is a pleasant surprise alongside its nimble as well as predictable treatment as well as more-than-adequate brakes.  However, it’s worth noting that the steering is a fleck flabby, but has less of the middle dead-zone when compared to its rivals.

The SR rides surprisingly well, given that it’s riding on a rudimentary Double Wishbone / Semi-Elliptic Leaf Springs set-up.  Nonetheless, because of the body-on-frame nature of the AUV, it easily suffers from modest squeaks fifty-fifty if the odometer barely reads a grand km.  Moreover, tire as well as current of air dissonance (particularly from the outside mirrors) is obtrusive fifty-fifty if traveling below lx km/h.

Like the daughter side past times side door, the Toyota Revo is surely non for extroverts.  However, if a lifelong commitment is inwards question, as well as hence there’s no denying that alongside its handsome details, slap-up interior flexibility as well as the longest warranty, the Revo surely makes an fantabulous choice.  Careful, I tin necessitate heed the marriage bells ringing already.



Toyota Revo GLX 2.4 Diesel

Like choosing how you’d desire your java inwards Starbucks, picking the correct Toyota Revo takes some serious thought.  With a vast line-up of 12 dissimilar variants, what could go the best selection for a value-oriented everyday commuter that’s equally painless to ain equally it is to drive?

H5N1 practiced starting indicate would go the 727,000-peso 2.4-liter Diesel GLX.  Though non equally sporty as well as luxurious equally the SR within as well as out, the GLX is however some distance away from the mega-taxi crowd.

Under the hood is a frugal 2.4-liter diesel fuel alongside 86-horsepower.  Though the ability isn’t that much, the pulling force is improve than the smaller displacement SR thank you lot to the engine’s nature equally good equally the 5-speed manual.  The GLX manages to nip closed to town alongside considerable ease, albeit inwards a noisy fashion.  Like alongside nearly diesels, await lower fuel bills as well as fewer trips to the pump.

In damage of outside looks, the GLX doesn’t receive got the same visual flair equally the higher variants.  However, front end fog lamps as well as the license plate garnish however come upwards equally standard.  Inside, it’s the same story, equally it doesn’t receive got the bells-and-whistles of the SR.  Nevertheless, it however contains the essentials such equally high-quality cloth seats, an in-dash CD player, the revolutionary flexible seating arrangement as well as fifty-fifty measure keyless entry alongside immobilizer.
