Toyota in Hong Kong: Latest Models, Performance, and Prices

Japanese car manufacturers have been slow to adopt EVs, and presently, Toyota's only officially introduced EV in Hong Kong is the bZ4X. With a futuristic design, the bZ4X offers 203 ps of power and 266 Nm of torque, with a WLTP range of 436 km.

Inside, the bZ4X is well-equipped with features like a panoramic sunroof with an electric blind, a 12.3-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay, a JBL 9-speaker audio system, wireless phone charging, and front heated and ventilated seats.

Besides the electric bZ4X, Toyota also offers gasoline SUVs like the Corolla Cross and RAV4. Both models come in luxury and hybrid versions with different power outputs and interior spaces, catering to different user needs.

Toyota Corolla Cross

Although Toyota no longer offers the sedan version of the Corolla in Hong Kong, the SUV variant, Corolla Cross, continues its tradition of offering great value for money, starting at HK$260,000. The Corolla Cross is available in luxury and hybrid versions. The hybrid model includes an electric motor for additional power.

The hybrid version also boasts a more comprehensive list of interior features, including automatic rain sensors, a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel, a heated steering wheel, front power adjustable and heated seats, and wireless charging. The hybrid version costs about HK$50,000 more than the luxury version.

Toyota RAV4

The RAV4 has maintained its popularity even after shifting from all-wheel drive to front-wheel drive. Toyota introduced a minor update to the fifth-generation RAV4 in mid-2022, adding a hybrid version with a 2,487 c.c. inline-4 engine paired with a 119 ps electric motor. The spacious 2,690 mm wheelbase and highly practical 542-liter trunk remain.

Significant updates include a 10-inch touch screen (up from 6.8 inches) supporting Apple CarPlay, LED cabin lights, a 7-inch display for the driver, wireless charging, and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Hong Kong’s love for MPVs is unparalleled, with large MPVs known for their excellent passenger and cargo capacities, as well as luxurious features. Toyota offers a range of MPVs in Hong Kong, including the Alphard/Vellfire, Noah, and Sienta, catering to different users’ needs.

Toyota Alphard / Vellfire

Last year, Toyota launched the new Alphard/Vellfire with different styling for each model. Alphard is available in five versions: 250, 350, HEV, EL (Executive Lounge), and HEV EL, while Vellfire has the V250, V350, and V HEV versions.

The entry-level 250/V250 produces 182 ps. The HEV is a hybrid model, and the EL boasts additional luxury features such as power adjustable, ventilated and heated Ottoman seats in the middle row, dual sunroofs for the middle row, a roof light system, and 64-color LED ambient lighting. The cost is nearly HK$1.2 million.

Toyota Noah

The mid-size MPV Noah is available in two versions – Luxury and Advantage – but does not offer a hybrid version. The primary difference is with the seating configuration, with the Luxury version having a 2+2+3 layout and the Advantage version providing a 2+3+3 layout.

Externally, the luxury version includes Aero body kits from Japan, front and rear parking sensors (the Advantage version has only rear sensors), and a parking collision avoidance system. The price difference between the two versions is just over HK$10,000, making the Advantage version a better value unless premium seat quality for the middle row is a priority.

Toyota Sienta

The Toyota Sienta stands out as a top choice in the small MPV segment, embodying all the favorite MPV traits of Hong Kong drivers: seven seats, ample space, easy maneuverability, and fuel efficiency. The latest generation continues these traditions and adds a hybrid version with an excellent fuel economy of 25.6 km/L. However, the hybrid model costs as much as HK$300,000, which is close to the larger Noah model, making the Sienta less attractive.

The new model's overall height has increased by 20 mm, while the power sliding door's width has expanded by 55 mm to 320 mm. These enhancements, along with a ground clearance of 330 mm, make for easier passenger entry and exit. The seats are highly configurable: both front- and middle-row seats can fully recline, and the third-row seats can be completely stowed beneath the middle row. Together, these features provide greater flexibility for transporting passengers and cargo.

Back when Toyota sedans like the Corolla and Camry were all over the roads in Hong Kong, who would have imagined that one day the Camry would be the only 4-door sedan on offer? In Hong Kong, only one Camry model is available, without hybrid or turbo options. When everything rides on the back of a 2,487 c.c. inline-4 engine producing 206 ps mated to an 8-speed transmission, it’s little wonder the Camry is a rare sight on Hong Kong roads these days.
