honda hybrid suv japan

hello friends iâ´m sergio oliveira. eduardo vargas. how are you lalo? doing well, and yourself sergio? im doing well thank you, and youself? iâ´m doing well also. thats good what are we talking about today? more brands, we are missing a few of the more important ones like toyota, which i consider important because people have been requesting it alot. toyota has many interesting cars like the corolla for example with 8 airbags and the camry with 10 airbag, although there are some people that donâ´t like that we talk about airbags because the airbags are a hassle right? and when it saves their lives? what then? that doesnâ´t matter because they arenâ´t planning on crashing

well if they arenâ´t planing on it, then there shouldnâ´t be any problems its neat for us to talk about this, but before we get started on their models is it true what it says here that the motors lasted for 300,000 or 400,000? they can last much more than that. yeah? because iâ´ve heard an urban legend among some clients ive never had one, so is that true? iâ´ve never had one either but normally, with a car given its regular maintenance it should not have any reason to break down, but even if you arenâ´t very careful, 300,000 miles is relatively little,

its not little when you talk about buying a car that has that many kilometers on it but it is a reasonable number of kilometers for a car to last, i remember a taxi in germany, it was a mercedes i donâ´t remember if it was a class e or c, but i think it was a class e, pretty old i saw the odometer and it read 660,000 kilometers i saw that and told him congratulations and he said no its already gone past 1,000,000 before, its actually 1,660,000. is it the same motor? its the same motor. so its more about maintenance, it doesnâ´t have

-it has everything to do with the maintenance, more so than anything else but there are brands that generally last longer than others and toyota is one of those brands well, i donâ´t want to keep veering you off topic, shall we start with the avanza? then we are starting poorly. well its that here on their website they have it listed under a, and we do this so we donâ´t miss any and then they get mad- very bad, the avanza is a very bad product, in fact the avanza is not a toyota, then what is it? its sold as a toyota here but its actually a daihatsu, what is daihatsu? lets say its the division which is now emerging from toyota

they are cars which are more oriented towards markets which are not rich, as we will understand its like a datsun for nissan or what other brand is more like that? more... much cheaper, i canâ´t think of any right now but anyways, its a bad car in the sense that the space is small, the stability is poor its not durable, its not a toyota in the sense that it lasts long and takes hits, but that is not the case

in the past it did not have the necessary basic safety, which is to say 2 airbags and abs breaks, but it has them now, which makes it a bit safer but its still bad, because it has airbags and abs breaks, i will give it a 4. thats alot isnâ´t it? yes, that is alot, its a very bad car. its also really ugly- its horrendous- you donâ´t know if its supposed to be a car or a truck or an abortion. yeah, the girlfriend is bad, and she cheats on you if sheâ´s pretty than you migh take it, but if sheâ´s ugly?

ugly and bad. exactly. yaris hb look, the yaris recently changed, before we had the yaris the real yaris, which was a hatchback in mexico and the real one was very safe that car had 9 airbags, it was a bad car in tems of handling, ect. so not just because of that its 9 airbags donâ´t reedem it i recommend it, its not something you would say is a bad car

and you shouldnâ´t have bought one, it was a good car in terms of durability, ect. but everything made noise, had poor handling, the motor was weak, and now they have changed it for another one a thai vehicle just like the avanza, ehich only has 2 airbags, ect. but i have not driven one, i know its a bigger car but i haveâ´t driven it yet, so i really cannot give an objective score because i donâ´t really know it. and from there we go to the yaris sedan the yaris sedan, its the same yaris that they have always had, they changed the front, ect. its a good car in terms of durability fuel efficiency, it has the necessary basic safety

as almost all cars in that segment do, so i give it a 6 you didnâ´t give the other one a score. i didnâ´t because i donâ´t know it. okay. giving it a score without knowing it would be unfair. yes of course, yaris r the yaris r, something we have to clear up about it is that its a mazda 2, and lots of people say it looks like a jacked up mazda but thats not the case, its a mazda, it is made in the mazda factory in salamanca its an agreement, and one that many brands make

all around the world, toyota wanted and needed a car in that segment which was a little more modern than the yaris and they even had plans to no longer make a new generation of the yaris sedan, and they needed a car there, especially for the mexican market, and the latin american market, they did not want to make a factory for only those because the investment they had to make for it was too large and mazda was making its own and they asked them if they would make the yaris sedan for them they would put a toyota front on it, and sell it as a toyota and i will buy 50,000 a year.

they must have loved it. mazda makes it, and it is a mazda so its a good car in terms of finishes, handling but its bad in terms of space, and the safety is at the minimum is it a good car? if you donâ´t have children, and you donâ´t need space in the back ect. then its good, it needs a little more in terms of safety and because it needs that safety i will give it a 7. it costs 232,000 compared to the- its expensive. do you remember the price of the mazda 2 off the top of your head? the most basic versions are around there

although, there is one that goes up to 270,000 which is a mazda 2 hatchback. well, next we have the camry what about the corolla? oh right, its in alphabetical order camry, its a very good car the only thing i donâ´t like about the camry is that i donâ´t like the design very much, but that is subjective it has very good safety, it has 10 airbags, its one of the cars with the most airbags in the mexican market after the dart got out, the camry was basically the only option

with 10 airbags, where do they put that many? frontal, laterals curtains the drivers knees and all of those places and they have good motors, the 4 cylinders just as much as the 6 cylinders, the handling is good its not very emotional, but its good, its a great car in many aspects i would give it a 9. what does the camry compete with? it competes with the accord, passat, mazda 6, fusion, ect. yes as well as the price, it costs 346,000. thats where it starts but the most expensive one must be above 450,000. the prices im saying

are the starting prices. the cheapest ones. shall we go to a break? weâ´re going on a break, we will be right back. weâ´re going on a short break donâ´t leave. hey guys, stick around, you will love it. weâ´re back boys. very well friends we are back and will continue talking about toyota corolla. corolla, except for the basic one and i think this is where toyota made a mistake because the baisc corolla which is the corolla c, and it costs

iâ´ll tell you in a moment. 240-something, - 242,300 242, that version of the corolla c only has 2 airbags, and thats why its not the most recommendable one the next one up is called the corolla base so in general the basic one, or the base- its the best- its supposed to be the worst one, and that is not the case with the corolla so the c because it only has the minimum safety, i would give it a 6 for the rest, i would give them an 8, they have 8 airbags

ect. its a car with a relatively small amount of power but its a car that can last a lifetime it last longer than marriages, those donâ´t last as long anymore. they really donâ´t they last longer than our gradparents marriages it has good safety good fuel efficiency, good resell value, the services that toyota offers are also very good what isnâ´t as good it the emotion of dricing it, if you like driving, then a corolla is not the

car for you. the problem i see with toyota they are ugly, they are amazing cars, but they are ugly. -yeah but its subjective yes it is. ugly and pretty is a personal thing, i would give it an 8 to any corolla except for the corolla c the corolla c, gets a 6, and the rest get 8. the next one we are getting to i actually think looks alright. which are the hybrids and the prius, for which you keep saying that i need glasses. yes, you need them urgently, or rather you might actually need a dog

to guide you- thats enough of that. but its a very good car the hybrids are on their way out and we will talk abuot that on another show, but if your going to buy a car which cost around 340,000 which is what the prius costs 340,000-400,000 more or less if your going to buy a car around that price, lets say the equipped version of a mazda 3 s, or an elantra, or a forte if your around there, then its a good idea to consider the prius, because its a car

that has more space, the power is similar if you add the power of the gas motor and the electric motor its around 130 horsepower, and that is going to give you 19 or 20 kilometers/l in the city, that is actually really good the resell value is not that good, especially here in mexico people are not really used to the idea of hybrids, so they are afraid of them in the united states, its the most sold, in fact, even in mexico especially around mexico city, its the most sold car

in its category, because of its size, its compared with the camry, passat, ect. and it is now the most sold car- in mexico city?- in all of mexico in the entire country, from that category. i thought just in mexico city because they werenâ´t circulating and with that car- especially its the car which is sold the most in that category as a function of mexico city of course, because of the people there. because of the number of people there the market in the city of mexico represent between 40-44% of all sales in the entire country seriously? so a car that is sold well there, even if its

not sold well outside of there, is going to be successful and obviously its because of the pressure in mexico city, monterrey also buys alot of prius but more than anything else, mexico city has made the pius be #1 in sales above passat, above accord, above altima and its helped with the issue of contamination right? for all of our friends in latin america that donâ´t know this, mexico city is so contaminated that they force cars to not run one day a week, sometimes even 2 days a week thatâ´s not always the case, when there are problems with contamination as there was this year for 3 months in a row, 3 months,

every car, even if they were new, needed to not run at least one day a week, and the exceptions were electirc cars and hybrid cars, and since the toyota prius is a hybrid because if they have a contingency because of contamination, they will be protected that really cool, shall we contnue with suvs? yes. did you score it? oh, the prius 9, if it was good looking i would give it a 10 it is good looking, i would like to buy one just to know what it feels like to drive a hybrid. lets go out

and look for girlfriends weâ´re not going to fight, you can keep the ugly ones and there wonâ´t be any issues. iâ´ll keep the performance you can judge them on looks, iâ´ll judge by performance no problem, lets not fight. okay, the rav4 its very good, 9. a 9 just like that? there isnâ´t much to say its a durable compact suv with good handling, good finishes, ect. i think the crv is better, but its very good and it lasts a lifetime

but they made it uglier with the line change didnâ´t they? they did. i liked the other one more. yeah, aesthetically speaking im not a fan of any toyota, not a single one. maybe we should get you an eye doctor, sequoia is that how you say it? yes, sequoia its good in terms of durability, the finishes are poor the handling is okay, so i give it a 7 this is one of my preferred vehicles, sienna sienna is the best in its segment, at least until the pacifica gets there

the pasifica will arrive, but it will be more expensive than an arabian vehicle, around 860,000 or something like that compared to the sienna, whose basic model costs 486,000 - but the only the most equipped pasicifa will get here and it will likely start around 850,000 860,000 pesos, but the sienna is the most durable of the minivans, its not the one with the best handling, but its the one with the best accelertion and thats what makes people really like it alot and say that it drives better than the odyssey but that is not the case, it just accelerates better, the odyssey is much better on turns

and you would prefer an odyssey to a sienna for those situations but its the most durable one, and in terms of balance its the mother hen of the bunch 9 for that one. which is not to say that the segment is very big. no here in mexico we have 3 or 4 options right? 3, and the fourth will get here which will be the kia sedona. we have the odyssey, the country, and the and the pasifica, - the pasifica is still not here, it will get here at the end of the year its the odyssey, the sienna, and the town and country highlander. very good, for a long time it was the best in its segment, the pilot

when it was renewed, it surpased it in materials and finishes and now we have the cx-9 which i believe surpases it in materials finishes, handling, and design, but the highlander is very good, so it gets a 9 it costs 510,000 pesos- it starts at. whatever im saying is where it starts, and the last one is the land cruiser. 10, its the best suv in the world its magnificent, its expensive as if it were designed for rich arabians, i believe it costs around 76,000 dollars or something like that. in pesos that would be

1,413,000 which is where it starts. thats where it starts and that would be around 70,000 dollars its really expensive but its really good, its comfortable, its got lots of space, its discrete if you have one, most people will think -that you have an average vehicle an old car, or an average car, but it is extremly capable in and out of terrain, its durable, its as capable as a land rover or more so in some cases but this one lasts a lifetime, and the land rover

has serrious problems with durability the finishes are good, the handling is good, its a magnificent truck 10. its a 10, well, and now we have sergios advice, with that price tag wouldnâ´t you be better off buying a premium? because you have enough money there if you want to boast then yes, but if you donâ´t need to do that and if your newly rich and want the world to know that you have money then yes, buy a cheyenne or anything really, an x5or x6, whatever

but if youâ´ve had money for your entire life and you donâ´t need people to know, because whatever you might be driving, people know you have money its a truck that has all the advantages of all others without the disadvantage of being too flashy so if your a politician, this is the one that we would recommend. yes if they are politicians. an example. tacoma, were done with the others, lets go to commercial vehicles tacoma should be the last one isnâ´t hilux before that one? look here, thats the website.

tacoma seems like a bad product the cabin is too tight, it uses alot of fuel, its very noisy, it jumps alot, its durable, very durable but that is its only virtue, so i would give it a 5. isnâ´t there a wait list for these trucks? yes, about a year. even though they are so-so? the market wants them? its the aveo from toyota, that is what tacoma is but at least its durable, the aveo doesnâ´t even have that going for it. okay, the tundra tundra, americans say

that its the most durable one in its segment but it is the eternal 4th place, it will never sell more than a traditional american pick up iâ´m not a fan of the design, but it is robust, its strong if you want to say, iâ´m going to buy a pick up and im never getting rid of it then that is the one that you should buy. so 8. 8 did you score the tacoma? the tacoma got a 5 i donâ´t know about this, how do you say this? hiace better if i didnâ´t ask. its very good, but there is no automatic version and there are people that donâ´t like that, but it is durable

its a little unfomfortable, but all of those are uncomfortable, urban, hiace but it is a good product, so i think a 7 and the last one- hilux?- hilux. its a good truck in durability as well, it is very durable its robust, its strong, it jumps alot the safety is the best in its segment with 3 airbags 2 frontal airbags and one for the knees but

its not as well finished nor as comfortable as a np300 frontier from nissan, so i think that the nissan is a better product eben though people say i am antinissan i think that the nissan is better in this case even though the hilux is not a bad truck i would give the hilux an 8 well, and with that one we are done we hope you liked it, until next time. goodbye. hey boys you should subscribe
