What is the fuel consumption of Toyota Hilux Surf per 100 km: in mixed, urban (in the city) and suburban (on the highway) cycle

Automobile concern Toyota

The body type of a car is what determines its value. The Japanese car Toyota, popular in Russia, offers several body variations, and all of them are in great demand in our country. Let's look at the most famous models of Toyota cars, find out what the features of their body are, and why tuning suits cars so well.

Toyota body production

ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline! Read more"

The Toyota automaker has achieved high global recognition for a reason. Strict adherence to the principles of the production system and strict quality control at every stage of car manufacturing is the secret of such popularity of Toyota models in many countries around the world.

The Toyota body is produced based on several basic rules:

• First, the bottom is welded, which connects the three parts of the platform of the future machine. This means the rear of the floor, the middle and the engine compartment;
• The body itself is welded on a fully automated line. At this stage of production, the platform is connected to the sides, the roof is installed, etc.;
• Attachable parts such as the trunk lid, doors and much more are connected to the base.

The body is already ready, but it has not been painted yet. From the welding shop it is delivered directly to the painting booth. Here the best composition is applied to the car, making the future car attractive. The paintwork composition is not only responsible for the appearance of the car, but also provides reliable protection for the metal from corrosion and environmental influences. Shvi and body waterproofing are also developed here for the price.

Body production

The surface of the body must be properly prepared. We are talking about thorough washing, degreasing and zinc coating. Then primer is applied to the body, and then sent to the oven. After the body has cooled, a sealant is applied to it, a Shumka is installed, anti-gravel is applied to the bottom, etc.

Note. Before direct painting, the body must be primed. This is done to ensure adhesion - so that the paint sticks well to the metal surface and the color forms well.

The body is again sent to the oven, and after cooling, a colored coat of paint is applied. As for painting attached parts, this procedure is carried out automatically.

Varnish is applied to the body, then it is sent back to the oven. Finally, the metal frame is polished, checked and waxed to protect it from the effects of the same rust.

The car is not completely ready yet, because this is still a bare version of it. Installation of wiring, belts and airbags, installation of various systems - all this is carried out in the assembly workshop.

Toyota Surf 130

Surf in a 130 body

In 1984, Toyota began producing Hilux Surf cars. Production continued until 2012. Most of the cars were sold on the domestic market, but used cars eventually occupied the markets of Central Asian countries.

The Surf model was also supplied to the USA. Here, however, the car is better known as the 4Runner.

Second generation Surf 130

The Hilux Surf 130 was produced as a station wagon. It was a real SUV, capable of giving strong competition to the Pajero itself. The body length was 4770mm, width – 1875mm, and height – 1790mm. As for the ground clearance, it was equal to 205 mm.

The stylish and dynamic design, clearly emphasized by the powerful bumper of the SUV and the aggressive shape of the optics, immediately caught the eye.

In addition to its appearance, the new SUV was able to “boast” of its equipment. Various systems, such as electrification of side mirrors, windows and the driver's seat, safety support with airbags and belts, climate and much more, could not but be a plus.

Cool SUV Surf 130 body

One of the strengths of the Toyota Surf is, of course, the technical characteristics of the SUV. The all-wheel drive was equipped with a wide range of engines, but these were considered the most popular:

• 4-liter power plant with 249 horses, paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission;
• A 3-liter diesel unit with a power of 170 horses, paired with 4 automatic transmissions.

Restyling (1997)

The 1997 update brought minor changes to the technical part. Diesel power increased to 145 or 170 horsepower. The rest of his indicators remained the same. Gasoline vehicles now have the option of installing rear-wheel drive.

“My father also drove this Toyota Hilux, but then he no longer needed an SUV, and I took it for myself. I like to go somewhere in nature, where not everyone can go. But this model can, and without any effort. The engine doesn’t seem to be powerful, but it’s torquey, and with all-wheel drive it works wonders. You can drive around the city, but then you won’t have such a great feeling, and the consumption is too high - almost 17 liters,” said Konstantin from Tver.

“I brought the car from its homeland to use it on our roads, where it belongs. A powerful engine, high ground clearance, all-wheel drive, rigid suspension - what else does a fishing enthusiast need? That's right, a roomy interior, but that's also there. Also, the car is made to last, so it doesn’t break down at all, even if you drive it hard over bumps and holes. At first, of course, I was worried, but after I tried to drive like this once and made sure that everything was fine, I stopped being shy. Yes, the consumption is a bit high – 15 liters, but it’s worth it,” said Yuri from Novosibirsk.

Technical characteristics of Hilux Surf 130

Since 1989, Surf has been produced in the form of 14 modifications. Until now, tuning Surf is a popular activity for fans of the model.

The table contains the distances most often of interest and the corresponding fuel consumption indicators by kilometer for the Toyota Hilux Surf. The data in the table is averaged and does not take into account the modification and equipment of a particular car, but uses the average data for the model.

Toyota Crown 130 body

Crown sedan

The automaker's bodies are presented in a wide range. In addition to the fact that they differ in type and variety, they are usually divided by number. The 130 Crown body is the pride of the model, because it is a luxury sedan.

One of the oldest Japanese Crown models was released in 1955. As generations changed, the Crown became more and more comfortable, and with the advent of luxury versions, the name itself began to imply the highest level of equipment, performance and quality of materials.

Note. Crown tuning is generally capable of turning this car into something original and unique.

In 1987, production of the Crown 130 series began. Modifications were not limited to one sedan. A 4-door hardtop with a regular and extended body and a station wagon were also produced.

Crown station wagon

The 130 Crown was restyled in 1991 and then produced unchanged until 1999.

Note. The Crown model was produced, as a rule, with right-hand drive. Although the production of left-hand drive Crowns was established for Arab countries.

131 Toyota body

131 Crown bodies were produced in several versions between 1987 and 1991:

• Super Deluxe is a luxury car, albeit in the simplest configuration. As a rule, it is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and classic rear-wheel drive. The power plant is a 2-liter 1G-EU with a capacity of 105 horses. The maximum speed on the highway is 150 km/h with a good margin.

Krounovsky 131

131 was also installed on the version with a 2-liter engine and automatic transmission. In particular, these were modifications Super Edition, Super Salon Extra, Super Salon Extra Column, Super Selection.

Body 131 was also installed on more powerful modifications with a 4-liter unit. These were modifications from 1989-1991. release of Royal Salon, Royal Salon Column and Royal Salon Electro Multivision. The 131 had rear-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. The cars developed serious power - 260 horses.

The 150 and 151 bodies of this sedan are already in their tenth generation. This time the manufacturer dared to take a revolutionary step - to abandon the frame structure. As a result, the weight of 150 and 151 decreased by more than 100 kg.

Today, the Crown 150 and 151 are widely used in Japan, “finding themselves” as a taxi or an executive car with a luxurious interior.

Review of Toyota YN130G-GKPGE (1990)

I got my first car like this: power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors (very large, almost no dead zone), switchable front-wheel drive, automatic transmission with low-range gearbox. 2 stoves.

The main drawback is the trunk door. First you need to lower the glass, and then lower the rest of the door down. Since the glass is lowered by an electric window lifter from the passenger compartment or using a key from the outside, like the others according to the same scheme, then, like the others, in winter it tends to freeze and you have to put things in the trunk through the passenger compartment.

The rest are only advantages: consumption 10-12 in summer, 12-14 in winter. So that it would not start due to frost - this did not happen only if the battery was discharged. The body is very tough and takes impacts well. The electrics never broke down at all, the turn signal light stopped working - the contacts were cleaned and everything was fine.

It was broken: once the power steering whistled, the steering wheel turned easily, we went to the master - he said we needed to change the power steering, we went to another master, he changed one bearing for us, everything worked together with the 1tr work and everything worked great.

There was a rumble as soon as the snow fell, strong, as if some kind of belt was rubbing against something, it turned out to be wheel bearings, the first time they just tightened them and everything went away, the next winter again, we bought them and changed one side first, the next another winter - there are 2 on each side.

They repaired the engine, but since the people were not experienced in this matter, they lost a lot of money. First, the compression in one of the cylinders disappeared - we paid a lot of money for disassembly, changed the cylinder head gasket, the gasket itself with some small things and a cover gasket cost 1200 rubles, but we waited 40 days for it. And here is the analysis of the 15tr engine. Then they again paid for disassembly, changed the caps, then changed the seals. To top it off, we were recommended to change the rings, but another analysis of the engine - it’s s....., the oil is burning, we just started monitoring the level all the time. There was one time it smoked heavily, the smoke was white, not blue or black, but just a lot and dense, it started up and the whole yard was in smoke. We filled the engine with decarbonizer and everything became fine, the smoke returned to normal.

Choose a specialist carefully, we have found a good one so far, we have spent a lot of money, time and effort. Either they bought the wrong thing, then a small part breaks, and they say buy everything assembled. He writes a whole list of mistakes, but in reality everything is fine. The crosspiece on the cardan broke, but they told us to buy the cardan assembly, my husband didn’t believe it, he climbed in to see how the cardan could be broken and saw that only the crosspiece was broken. We bought it and installed it ourselves, spent a heaping 600 rubles, but a new cardan costs more than 10 rubles.

Safety level - frame structure of the body. There is a lot of space in the cabin for both the driver and passengers; in the front passenger seat you can fully stretch your legs forward, and in the back, even with a height of 180, your knees do not rest.

Prius in the back of 30

30 Toyota body was installed on the Prius model. The full body name was: ZVW 30. It was produced since 2009.

Prius in the back of 30

The updated version of the Prius 30, which received a completely new metal frame and an innovative power plant, has become much more dynamic and economical. The car has also become different in appearance, its configuration has changed.

Note. For our country, the Prius was produced in 3 trim levels: Elegance, Prestige and Lux. For the States, 5 Pascage trim levels were offered. But for Japan everything went traditionally: configurations designated by the Latin alphabet - L, S, G and so on. In Europe, 3 main configurations were also known: Entry, Business and Executive (Premium).

The main difference between the 30 body and its predecessor Prius 20 is, of course, a wider selection of trim levels, as well as the combination of Executive and Park Assist. Having turned into a Premium version, this configuration became the only Prius in the top segment for European countries.

The completely updated Prius 30 is the third generation of the car. The model had previously been in great demand all over the world, and after the official announcement of the release of the Prius in the back of 30 applications for purchase alone went off scale for 180 thousand.

The Prius 30 can be considered an upgrade, an improved version of the 2nd generation Prius hybrid. Although most of the same elements were used when creating the third generation, there were plenty of new things.

Let us remember that the first Prius was a sedan. The second generation Prius is already a 5-door hatchback. The third generation is just a restyling of the body, which has become 20 mm wider and 15 mm longer. In general, the outlines of the hatchback remain the same.

What are the distinguishing features of the Prius 30? As a rule, this is a different roof contour, a slightly different trunk lid (door) and more forward body pillars.

Toyota Premium in the back of 240

Premium in the back of 240

This car comes out between 2002 and 2008. Body type Premium 240 – 4-door sedan. Very often Premio is compared with another popular model - Allion. Both sedans are mid-size, only the Premio, especially inside, looks much more representative than the Allion.

Getting into the cabin causes virtually no complaints. If there were some comments regarding the older versions of Toyota, then the Premio 240 is doing very well in this regard.

Prado 95 body

Body numbers 90 and 95 were installed on Prados produced since 1997. Initially, only the 90 body was installed on the Land Cruiser, but then they began to use the 95.

90 and 95 Prado were replaced by the Prado 70 series, which was already outdated at that time. The SUV gets a new body and is assembled on a completely different platform, taken from the Hilux Surf.

Note. Land Cruiser manufacturers could not leave everything at the same level, since they were inferior in competition to Mitsubishi with its Pajero, as well as other well-known auto giants.

The innovations of the 90 and 95 are, first of all, more streamlined body shapes, a spacious and comfortable interior, huge door openings and much more. In addition, the Land Cruiser's suspension has become independent.

In its competition with Pajero, the Land Cruiser 95 was also helped by an advertising campaign that emphasized the image of not just an SUV with all-wheel drive, but a light and comfortable all-terrain vehicle, a kind of large crossover.

The 120 body has been installed on the Prado since 2002. It had the latest design, the highest level of equipment and much more. The 120 Prado received the same full-time all-wheel drive, but unlike the previous version, it had the ability to be connected manually.

The 120 also turned out to be a fairly economical SUV. With a 2.7-liter engine, it consumed about 12 liters per 100 km, and with a 4-liter unit - 13-13.5 liters.

Prado 95 body

The 150 Prado body began to be installed on an SUV in the fall of 2009, when the 4th generation of the SUV was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The car with a 150 body was intended for the Russian market, representing one of the most technologically advanced and modern models of “city SUV”.

Despite the penchant for glamor, the manufacturers still managed to preserve 150 all the attributes of a full-fledged all-terrain vehicle.

150 Prado is offered in Russia in the simplest Standard configuration. The buyer receives quite a few useful options. If we compare it with the same Pajero, the Land Cruiser clearly has more unique systems and assistants in the basic version.

As for the engine, in the basic version the 150 was equipped, as was the 95, with a 2.7-liter unit producing 163 horses. At the same time, consumption per 100 km/h, according to the manufacturer, is 7-8 liters. The transmission paired with the engine is either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual.

The richer configurations require a different engine. One of them is a turbodiesel, developing a power of 173 horses. The other is a gasoline “six”.

Description of generations

Toyota Hilux Surf and 4Runner brands are identical. The only difference is the steering wheel position: the Surf is designed for left-hand drive, and the 4Runner is designed for right-hand drive. At first they were equipped with a manual transmission, later with an automatic transmission.

First Surf line

The first generation was not much different from a pickup truck. The partitions between the cab and the body were removed, and the rear part was covered with a plastic roof. The car was equipped with a manual transmission, carburetor gasoline or diesel engine. The main characteristics of the first generation Hilux Surf are shown in the table below.

Attention! Diesel models were produced with the N-LN60V body, and gasoline models with the L-YN60V body. SR-equipped cars did not have sun visors on the mirrors; their front bumpers were not chrome-plated, but black, unlike the SSR. The SR version was equipped with H78-15B tires, and the SSR - 215R15-6. The engines were 4-cylinder, in-line.

Second generation

The second version of Surf appeared in 1989. The car body was now completely made of metal. 5-door models began to be produced along with 3-door ones. The interior was decorated using velor or leather. The front suspension has changed: it has become independent, in the form of two levers with a torsion bar. There is a switch between 2WD and 4WD modes.

Such a characteristic as engine power did not change until 1990. The gasoline versions were equipped with 3Y-E engines, like the first generation models. Since 1990, powerful injection 6-cylinder V-shaped engines 3VZ-E began to be installed.

The power of diesel engines has increased. The turbocharged 2L-T appeared, and in 1990 - the 2L-TE, which was more economical. The first consumed up to 10.2 liters per 100 km, and the second - up to 7.2. Along with mechanical ones, automatic transmissions began to be installed. The table shows the characteristics of the 2nd generation Toyota Hilux Surf models.

The Limited version was available with power windows and central locking. The cars were equipped with 215SR15 tires.

Second generation, restyling

In 1991, the generation was restyled. First, the shape of the headlights and turn signals was changed. A Wide Body version of the car was released with a wider body. After 1993, production of 3-door cars was discontinued.

In 1993, a new 1KZ-TE diesel 4-cylinder engine with 130 horsepower was installed on the 5-door Surf. There is a switch between two driving modes: standard and powerful. The table shows the characteristics of the restyled line.

Versions G and X were equipped with a radio. A spoiler was installed on the G series model. A door stiffener appeared. The tire size of the Hilux Surf II SUV is 215SR15, Wide Body - 265/70 R15.

Third line

The third generation began to be produced in December 1995. The SUV has undergone major changes. The body has moved closer to modern outlines and has become more streamlined. The salon began to be decorated richly: models trimmed with leather or velor appeared. The panels were finished in wood; expensive models were equipped with Recaro seats and a stylish Momo sports steering wheel. The shield has acquired additional panels with beautiful lighting. Additional navigation instruments have been added: compass, altimeter, inclinometer.

The car has become softer thanks to the new front suspension. It is well adapted to city driving. The “smart” differential engages all-wheel drive depending on road conditions. Rear-wheel drive models appeared. Diesel and gasoline engines have changed. The table shows the main characteristics of third-generation SUVs.

The Hilux Surf was equipped with 265 70R16 tires for the Wide Body model and 215/80R16 tires for the standard body.

Third generation restyling

The third generation was changed twice. The first time was in August 1998, the second time in July 2000. The changes affected mainly the appearance. The front part of the body has acquired smoother contours.

During the first restyling, the diesel engine was improved through the introduction of an intercooler. Power increased to 145 horsepower. The Hilux Surf III was fitted with 235 60R16 tires. A new 3-liter 1KD-FTV diesel engine was developed for the second facelift of the car. Power increased to 170 horsepower. In terms of comfort, the SUV is close to the LC Prado 90.

Fourth line

Interesting fact! The last generation was produced from 2005 to 2012. The interior design has been greatly changed. Comfortable armrests have appeared. The instrument panel was close to the driver; a monitor was mounted in the middle, and below it was a display with buttons for controlling the climate control. The trunk is divided into 2 levels that could be combined. There were illuminated thresholds, an electric sunroof, and electric seat adjustment.

At first, new models were equipped with third-generation engines, but in 2005 more powerful ones were installed. Front airbags were installed in the basic configuration; it was possible to install side airbags and curtains. The table shows the characteristics of the main fourth generation models.

The SUV is in demand on the used car market.
