Toyota Roomy 2016 Review

Have you observed any open spaces on the road? Today’s topic is a “hotel room” on wheels. The Toyota Roomy, to be specific. In fact, the manufacturers built this car to fit the name. This is a vehicle created for the Van concept. Here’s CarsGuide’s look at the Toyota Roomy, 2016.

Exterior Design

Let’s start with the exterior of the Toyota Roomy.The front is extremely well designed. Windshield wipers are visible. The front casing is made of durable plastic in black. Fog lights are not visible while discussing front lights. There are halogen headlights visible.

On the side, there are 14-inch alloy wheels. The front wheels have disc brakes, while the rear wheels, drum brakes. Winker mirrors are seen. A small mirror has also been added to the underside of the passenger side mirror. Silver door knobs come with keyless entry. It has the ability to lock and unlock the front doors. The Toyota Roomy’s rear doors slide. As a result, you can press the button on the door handles to have them open and close automatically. You may also open and close the rear doors electrically by holding the buttons on the left and right sides of the key. Furthermore, these rear doors have a soft close. If necessary, we can open and close the rear doors manually.

When you look at the back, you can see the chrome Toyota insignia on the tailgate. A windshield wiper is included. The Roomy logo can be found on the lower side of the tailgate. Because this is a van, the boot opening is rather large.

When it comes to the ground clearance of the Toyota roomy, 130 mm has been specified. This is an unusually low ground clearance for Sri Lankan roadways.

Let’s move on to the Roomy’s boot space. We can open the boot by pressing down on the Toyota symbol. The rear seats, in addition to the front seats, can be used as a storage box. The rear seats can be folded as desired to expand trunk capacity, or can be folded fully flat or half flat as needed. These seats can also be folded forward. There is a little storage compartment beneath the boot floor.

Interior Design

The interior of the Toyota Roomy features a black and brown two-tone colour scheme.
Two fabric seats have been installed in the driver cabin. Manual modifications are made to the seats. A person can move between the driver’s and passenger’s seats. The driver has been given a little armrest. There is plenty of leg and headroom. The steering wheel has multi-function buttons and is tiltable. Despite the fact that the dashboard is made of hard plastic, it has a quality appearance.

In general, there is plenty of space in the glove compartment. At the bottom of the center console, there is a power outlet and a storage bin. The storage container can be removed and replaced as needed. In the meter panel, you can see the RPM meter and speedometer. It also displays the amount of fuel available. There are cup holders on both the passenger and driver sides that can be customized. Vanity mirrors with wide sun visors have also been installed on both sides. The sliding door controllers are located on the right side of the steering wheel, which can also be turned off. In such an instance you must physically open and close the doors. Since cruise control is also provided, the speed can be adjusted.

The passenger compartment has three fabric seats. Seat belts and a headrest are provided for all three seats. In the passenger cabin, you’ll find plenty of leg and headroom. This passenger cabin is sufficient even for a tall individual. Three passengers can travel in luxury. The center passenger is not affected by this because there is no floor hump. However, because there is no floor hump, if something falls, it may tumble out when you open the door. Because these seats can be moved forward, backward, and reclined, you may easily configure them. Cup holders are available. To open and close the door automatically, press the controller on the door once. Sunshades have also been installed on the windshield so that it may be adjusted to the desired level during the day. Another issue is that the windshield only opens halfway.

The Toyota Roomy cabin has the unique attribute of being able to roam around like the inside of a room. This interior has been given that much space.

Ride Quality

When it comes to the ride of the Toyota Roomy, its windshield provides the driver with excellent sight. The engine noise is not overpowering in the cabin.
