Overview

The Toyota Premio 2012 (NZT260 facelift model) holds a prestigious status in the used car market, often seen as a symbol of upper-middle-class success. Widely imported through reconditioned channels, it serves as a benchmark for comfort and reliability in the executive sedan segment. This model year introduced subtle cosmetic updates to the 2nd generation platform, enhancing its appearance to be more elegant and in line with higher-end Toyota sedans. Powered by the 1.5L 1NZ-FE engine, the Premio prioritises smooth commuting and fuel efficiency over raw performance. It targets professionals and families who require a vehicle that offers a quiet, comfortable ride and maintains exceptional market value, making it a "safe investment" in the local automotive market.

Driver Insights

3.5
out of 5

Owners note that the Toyota Premio 2012 provides a relaxed and effortless driving experience. Feedback indicates that the steering is light, which helps with navigation in urban areas, although it lacks feedback on the motorway. Drivers mention that the cabin is notably quiet at city speeds, isolating passengers from the outside environment. However, enthusiasts state that the 1.5L engine can feel strained when the car is fully loaded with passengers and luggage on steep inclines.

Exterior Design

The exterior styling is conservative yet dignified. It features a prominent chrome grille with horizontal slats and sleek, rectangular headlights that give it a broad stance. The side profile is clean, with chrome door handles and window trim adding a touch of class. Owners appreciate the understated elegance, which allows the vehicle to blend in at both corporate offices and family gatherings without appearing flashy or outdated.
