Toyota Noah

The Toyota Noah (Japanese: トヨタ・ノア, Hepburn: Toyota Noa) is a seven or eight-seat minivan with two rear sliding doors built by Toyota and sold mainly in Asian countries. It is positioned below the Estima and Alphard, and above the Sienta. Being front-wheel drive, it replaces the rear-wheel drive TownAce/LiteAce Noah, retaining the "R" model code and generation numbering. The Noah has two twin versions. Initially, at launch, it only had one twin version, named the Toyota Voxy (Japanese: トヨタ・ヴォクシー, Hepburn: Toyota Vokushī), which was intended to be the sportier version of the Noah, featuring split headlamps and clear taillights, however, starting from the third-generation, a luxury version of the Noah was introduced, named the Toyota Esquire (Japanese: トヨタ・エスクァイア, Hepburn: Toyota Esukwaia), sporting a different grille design and more upmarket interior.

Chronology
PredecessorToyota TownAce/LiteAce Noah (R40/R50)

The vehicle is specifically developed to provide variants that complies with the Japanese dimension regulations for compact vehicles with length dimensions under 4,700 mm (185.0 in) and width under 1,700 mm (66.9 in), placing it in the lower end of the annual road tax bracket which contributes to its popularity.[3][4]

The Noah was once exclusive to Toyota Corolla Store Japanese dealerships; the Voxy to Netz Store and the Esquire to Toyopet Store. On May 1, 2020, the Noah, Voxy and Esquire became available at all Toyota dealership sales channels in Japan (Toyota Store, Toyopet Store, Corolla Store and Netz). The Esquire was discontinued in December 2021.[1]

Indonesia

In Indonesia, the facelifted Noah was launched on December 11, 2012 as the Toyota NAV1. It was assembled locally at the Bekasi plant. It was available in two trim levels, G and V, and was launched to fill the gap between the Kijang Innova and the Alphard. The engine used is the 2.0 L 3ZR-FAE petrol inline-four mated with a continuously variable transmission.[6][7]

In 2014, the NAV1 was updated offering 3 trim levels: G, V and V Limited, all with continuously variable transmission only.[8]

After the NAV1 was discontinued in January 2017 because of declining sales, it was replaced by the facelifted third-generation Voxy in August 2017, which is imported from Japan.[9]

The third-generation Noah and Voxy were introduced in January 2014. For the first time, an engine start stop system is used to improve fuel economy. It is also the first Toyota minivan to have one-touch sliding doors. In October 2014, the Esquire was launched, which was essentially the luxury version of the Noah. The Noah/Voxy/Esquire also receives Toyota's T-Connect services including a 10-inch infotainment display, with full navigation, ETC unit, online services, wireless phone charger, Noah Panoramic Live Sound System (eight speakers), rear parking camera with guidance lines, USB/AUX inputs as well as Toyota Safety Sense C which incorporates features such as collision warning, lane assist, as well as high beam assist.

Facelift

All three models received a facelift on July 3, 2017 with significant changes to the lights, hood (bonnet), bumper and the front fender.

Indonesia

The facelifted third-generation Voxy was launched at the 25th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show on August 10, 2017. Unlike the preceding NAV1, which was assembled locally, it is imported from Japan. Export to Indonesia began in July 2017. It is only offered in one trim equivalent to the Japanese ZS trim.[11][12]
