PT Toyota Astra Motor is currently busy preparing new products in the country.The car that is Avanza with the display completely changed.
Avanza change is considered necessary for Toyota, given the increasingly tight competition in the segment of low-purpose vehicle . Especially since the birth of Mitsubishi Xpander in the country.
But Toyota has so far been closing the information taps about the change of car of a million people.
"Well that's the condition now. If we make the new Avanza into a modern style, front whell drive ( front-wheel drive ), because follow the competitors, wrong, "said Executive General Manager PT TAM, Franciscus Soerjopranoto to VIVA , Thursday, March 15, 2018.
"We want baseball, because it is wrong.Our goal gave birth to new products not because of competitors, but what kind of customer needs," he added.
Although current sales began to lose in demand from Xpander, but wholesales (factory to dealers) 6,000 units listed Avanza in February 2018 is considered not a small number. Thus, Toyota remains adamant will accommodate the needs of functionality that has been so excessive Avanza.

But that does not mean Avanza does not change to be more modern, because Toyota thinks will accommodate both; functional and modern. "So whether the appearance, durability, aftersales , functionally with rear wheel drive ( rear wheel drive ) we are still testing."
