Toyota Spade: A Minivan-Compact Car Leader, To Call A Spade A Spade

1. Overview

The Toyota Spade may not impress you as a fancy car because the Spade is all about style with all about simplicity from the new Porte. The Spade brings you the feel of being a passenger instead of a driver. We comment without offense on the unique sliding door on the left side though.  The Spade, on the other hand, has eight colors such as Citrus Mica Metallic, Dark Violet Mica Metallic, White Pearl Crystal Shine, Silver Metallic, Black Mica, Super Red V, Dark Brown Mica Metallic, and Light Blue Mica Metallic.

2. Exterior Magnificence

First impression is still a very tall hatchback featuring a sliding door on the pavement side and 2 conventionally hinged doors on the other side. Toyota Spade still combines between a B-segment hatchback and compact MPV. Its exterior dimensions are virtually the same at 4 meters long, 1.7 meter wide, 1.7 meter tall and rides on exactly the same 2600 mm wheelbase. Time seems standstill when considering styling, or build quality, or engines and performance. The car’s extraordinary tallness is said to allow children to stand in the cabin or store very tall luggage like a small tree, both are useful to some.

Unmatched beauty

So what’s the appeal of the single sliding door? Well, as every MPV owner know, it is easier to get in and out at tight parking space. For parents having small children, sliding door is particularly safer and more convenient, especially when this one is powered and remote controlled. It should have been even better to make twin-sliding doors, but Toyota decided one on the pavement side is more cost-effective. As in the first generation Porte, the front passenger seat stays mounted on rails. It slides and flips forward to make access to the rear seats. Thanks to the shortage of transmission tunnel, the driver may also get in and out from the sliding door.

3. Interior Comforts

The Toyota Spade is a large car with a high roof and a flat floor. The electric sliding door is designed to serve both the front and rear passengers. The seats are comfortable and well elevated and deliver a natural seating posture. On the first row, the driver and passenger are accommodated with good legroom and the seats can be adjusted to a desired position. On the second row, the legroom is abundant with enough space to stretch for all the three seats.

True gem inside

The Toyota Spade has sufficient storage compartments in the useful cabin for storing items such as smartphones, beverages, goggles, handbags etc. For the first row there are 2 cup-holders, a glovebox and door panel storage. For the second row, there are three cupholders and many storage compartments. The boot is not as roomy as we expected it to be and it can maybe carry one large suitcase with space to spare. When extra space is in need, the rear seats can be folded and even this is not as snappy as we expected as the seats do not fold flat into the floor.

4. Mechanical Excellence

Although, Toyota Spade is still available with the 1.3-liter 1NR-FE engine or an improved 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE engine, mated with the Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) automatic transmission, an available Smart Stop feature for the 1.5-liter variants gains a fuel economy of 20.6 km/L (58 mpg‑imp; 48 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle (equivalent to 113 g/km (6.4 oz/mi) of CO2 emissions) of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).

The power of efficiency

The two different engine sizes give drivers a choice regarding which annual road tax obligation they want to pay; vehicles with the larger engine were equipped at a higher level than the lower trim level in compensation. In 2015, the 1.3-liter model was left out and a new 1.5-liter 2NR-FKE engine was used for FWD models, this new version has a fuel economy of 22.2 km/L (63 mpg‑imp; 52 mpg‑US) under the JC08 test cycle.

5. Relentless Performance

There is little to discuss its driving dynamics, because this is an area its designers put at the lowest priorty. The Toyota Spade is not too heavy, but its 2 engines – 95 hp 1.3 DVVT-i and 109 hp 1.5 VVT-i – are not especially gusty. Despite its lack of driver appeal, the smaller motor is a smarter buy, since it is sweeter revving and more refined. CVT isn’t the choice for veteran drivers, but it suits the character of the car well. The second generation car has its body roll suppressed in cornering, but it is still not happy to be hustled. Compared to K-cars like Honda N-Box, the Toyota does deliver superior ride refinement and better sound deadening. It costs a lot more, too.

6. Safety Technology

The safety features include driver and passenger airbags, driver and passenger side airbags, curtain airbags, ABS, EBD, VSC, TRC, which is more than enough for a car of this class.

A Lucrative Investment

Listening to demands for “compact cars with minivan-like features,” Toyota Spade unleashed a truly mini minivans upon the Japanese public, with the purpose of becoming the leader in that segment. We, the Car From Japan company, is always ready to deliver the best of the best used Audi A3 to you, with reasonable prices and reasonable quality.
