2024 Toyota Zenix Hybrid Review | There's Just One Little Thing...

The Toyota Zenix is one of the most anticipated sequels to one of the brand's most legendary nameplates. The MPV has grown in more ways than one and learned a few tricks as well. Ditching diesel, it now has a 2.0-liter series-parallel powertrain that may surprise even the most stout of diesel die-hards. Apart from that, refinements can be found all over the car's exterior, interior, and technology features, but there is just one thing that bugged Caco throughout this review. Find out what it is on this episode of Behind the Wheel.

I can’t get over how those wheels look SO SMALL on those arches 🥲

[@rhs_0938]

Yes and it looks worse in real life Here in Indonesia there are a lot of Zenix owners changing the wheels after getting it from dealers

[@alopey_]

It's not really the wheels but the tires, just make them thicker (aspect ratio) and wider, then the looks and stance will compensate. We should be aware that this falls under MPV segment and NOT SUV, the reason for having thinner and narrower tires (same as it goes with Veloz). If it falls under SUV segment, then it's the opposite, like the Rush.

[@seattlerock745]

​@@alopey_cant upsize the wheels much...the wheel wells are so small 😅 its wheels are the same size as the HRV RS

[@josparas2463]

I say, change the tires.

[@voodoodiecast]

Because it’s no longer a body on frame truck mpv which sits higher thus making the wheel arches smaller unlike this that they need to make the wheel well/arches larger to accomodate the lower sitting stance.

[@noelneil90rn]

Still the best reviews here with Caco... You da best mannn!!

[@melvinrimorin7840]

Great review as always! Almost everything is great about this car - the platform, the space, the tech. But if there's one thing holding it back from being a bestseller, it's that price. I'm not saying it's not worth it, but it is expensive. The fuel economy though is fantastic! Cheers!

[@harold2901]

i manage to test one of these they are actually more refined and quiet than the innova. the 2nd row was like sitting on a hiace it was relaxed and spacious so good for those claustrophobic people. But the drawback was the down on power but in a good way though. Its more comfort focused with passable quality to get that so called premium feel. PLus its a hybrid so lesser trips to gas stations.

[@rjvicedo]

Toyota should pay Caco for having his name as a feature function of the Zenix.

[@teeh.2939]

Very good for those businessmen/women who wants to be driven than drive daily in Manila area. But the Custin Lux variant is more "pang mayaman" look outside and inside but underwhelming power. Zenix being a hybrid is a huge deal for some imo. Nice review ADPH.

Compared to the others, seeing that it does 10+Km\L in the city where everyone else with that price tag struggles and take into consideration 183HP and 393 freaking Nm torque despite being a 4 cylinder Gasoline engine / Hybrid one id say its bang for the buck.. .now if Toyota can just put a moonroof like the other MPVs Custin/Okavango and put in the same cameras as the ones in chinese cars that are so clear, im sold!

[@francelendiola9285]

The "YAWAAA!" gets me hahahahahaha

[@alopey_]

Battery (and electric motor/s) are 2 of the main concerns of these hybrids 'in long the term' say, past 6 years or so, can't imagine the cost of replacing it. And mind you, it still has an engine to maintain

[@SweetKat]

Battery replacement usually cost around 200 to 300k but these hybrid batteries could easily last 10 years or more. However the main concern here is flood. I know that the battery is sealed but it is really not advisable to pass through floods

[@alopey_]

@@SweetKat Yes I agree, flood is another one, imagine with those electronics, ECU itself is a headache na, what more pa yang EV system kung binaha. Moreover, we are a tropical country as well, so the quality and behavior of these batteries are about to be tested for longevity in our climate.

[@PapiLyc]

Sir Caco, baka naman when you get your hands on the MG One! 🤗 let us know po!

[@edhuet9804]

Hello Caco. Thank you for this review of the Zenix. But we have the following concerns to settle before deciding to get one. 1) Can the Zenix Hybrid system handle long distance driving? Say a minimum of 600-kM in one straight driving. This is a combination of highway and provincial road conditions. 2) Will the under chassis supports (and shock absorbers) be able to handle its maximum passenger & cargo capacity on long distance driving? 3) How good will the Zenix handle a series of tight corner turns? And we mean continuous tight turns that can stretch for 70-kM at a time. 4) Is there a speed range that the Hybrid system will take over and power the Zenix? Given the above concerns that we have. Is it a Zenix that we should be considering to buy, or will it be another type of a Toyota vehicle model? Hope you can help us decide. We will appreciate knowing any feedback we can hear from you. Salamat Caco and AutoDeal Team.

[@tankbeta]

QUESTION HYUNDAI CUSTIN OR ZENIX ? kung comfort sa seats and driving and less gastos pagdating sa maintenance

[@darkwood2127]

Zenix for less maintenance cost

[@artupato]

Ito din ang pinagpilian namin, in the end, we chose Zenix Q because of it being a hybrid and ride height. Some car mechanic review says toyota hybrid cost less in terms of overall maintenance compared to a gas car but I still doubt it. Sa ngayon kasi, casa lang talaga ang service ng hybrid. Siguro kung may know-how na ang ibang shop, magiging mura na maintenance ng hybrid. 1 full tank of 37-40L (50L capacity pero may 10L reserved) is about 540km sa medium to heavy traffic na yan. Less ang breaking dahil sa engine brake (so less sa brake maintenance) First 1000km maintenance cost is around php4800 I did not worry much sa battery kasi 8 years ang warranty, so far it performed well.

[@tankbeta]

@@artupato sir i have concern with zenix hybrid. Nababasa ko sa group ng zenix may ilan na weird daw change gear. Lakas ng jerk daw. Zenix na ako din sana pero un lng nagpabago ng isip ko dahil sa mga problems ng ibang user sa change gear

[@artupato]

Wala po akong na-experience na jerk. baka mabigat lang ang pagtapak nila? Sa change gear naman, no issues din. Ang napansin ko lang kung nasa low 30% battery, nag-rerevup ang engine to keep it charged above 30%. Usual speed ko 40-60kph, no difference or di maramdaman ang 'shifting' sa electric or electectric+engine or engine lang. Expect 'drone' sound na lang sa cvt. But, okay na walang rumble ang engine unlike diesel engines (like sa navara or terra) Better talaga mag-test drive pero mahirap kumuha ng unit. Waiting kami 6mos for the white, but nung may available na blackish brown last month, kumagat na kami. Sa mpv segment, ang custin lang ang alternative namin kaya lang lagpas 2M ang top variant tapos di pa hydrid

[@paulopescador3982]

Are you sure with torque figures?

[@luzemmanuelluz5]

No other hybrid MPV yet as of this date but the hybrid Xpander may be coming to our shores very soon.

[@JHAIN09]

Hey Caco how many kilometers on EV mode only?

[@artupato]

Let me answer this one. For context, the battery stays about 30% to 40% charged in city drive with heavy traffic. You can only use EV mode if it is 30% or above. My 'guesstimate' is only about +5km if it is between 30% to 40% battery for city driving.

Does the NON-Hybrid also comes with a 360 cam?

A good competitor at that price range would be the GWM HAVAL H6 HEV. Definitely bang for buck!

[@erostyler6226]

Nope, that is a 5 seater, compared to this as a full 7 seater, and hope soon can be 8 if they can make bench-type seat in the middle row.

[@johndelacroix9909]

Toyota should start offering Zenix and Innova with light interior like those in the older models of Innova. This is especially true for the Zenix. Dark plastics and seats aren't just classy. Makes it look cheap to be perfectly honest. Light interior colors will compliment Zenix very well and will make it classier and more premium. Look at Hyundai Custin. Not sure if they have same quality of materials, but light interior is just more pleasing to the eyes and won't make interior look cheap. Light interior colors bring a bit more luxury and elegance.

[@erostyler6226]

No, Nissan only has the Livina to which the counterpart for Toyota is Veloz or Avanza, and Xpander for Mitsubishi.

[@fullbass1426]

The Livina used to be a direct competitor, but it has gone down a segment thru the expander route.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

I'd say the Zenix, now that they are more of a car that truck, is really competing directly with the Custin, and I think if Nissan brings the ePower Serena, that would be a valid competitor.

[@SLiX-thatguy11m-]

393 NM torque is more than the Diesel (a bit). It's crazy that they even brought the non-hybrid cause the combustion engine alone has always been lackluster, even in the previous generation.

[@fullbass1426]

@@SLiX-thatguy11m- toyota never relased a combined torque output number. That 393nm they stated is from adding the 187nm from the ICE and 206NM from the electric motor. But they said it doesnt work that way.
