The next-generation 2021 Toyota Avanza may be based on the TNGA/DNGA platform and will be shared by Daihatsu MPV.
Earlier, we learned that a new 6-seater MPV is being developed for the Indonesian market. Most importantly, the new MPV will also have a Toyota version. A new MPV will be designed and produced on the DNGA platform, which is basically a low-cost version of the TGA platform. The new Xenia genus has also been renamed and sold by Avanza. Unsurprisingly, the new Xenia model will also develop the Toyota Avanza in its next-generation models. Recently, Daihatesu received information about plans to launch a new minivan in the Indonesian industrial market, which may be a development version of the Xenia MPV.
The paultan.org article confirmed that the new generation of Daihatsu Xenia will be launched in December this year, and we believe that Toyota can take this opportunity to release its MPV version within the same month. Daihatsu MPV will be based on the DNGA platform. Daihatsu's new global architecture. Interestingly, Toyota's TNGA architecture comes from this platform. Daihatsu was exhibited at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Motor Show and GIIAS 2017, and then at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show based on the DN-Multisix concept car. According to Japanese reports, Daihatsu's next MPV will be a three-row six-seater MPV.
Both cars are expected to be equipped with a 1.0-liter turbo gasoline engine that can run on Daihatsu Rocky. The powertrain has a torque of 140 Nm, can operate normally within 98 hours, and has a comfortable 6-speed gearbox. A 1.2-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor is also available. The new Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia will compete with Honda Freed, Suzuki Ertiga and XL7 when they will be launched in the Indonesian market in December this year. Toyota will not bring the new Avanza to the Indian market, but the automaker is planning to produce another MPV for the country.
Toyota may use its agreement with Maruti Suzuki to launch its own version of Ertiga, as well as Glanza (based on Baleno) and Urban Cruiser, the latter of which will soon begin operations on the basis of Vitara Brezza.
