Toyota as a brand is popular among buyers due to its reliable nature. We all know how popular Toyota Innova MPV is among its owners. However, even before Innova came into the scene, we had another MPV in the market that was only available in the market for a very short period of time. It was none other than Toyota Qualis. The MUV got launched in 2000 and was in production till 2004. Just like Innova, Qualis was also popular for its ride quality and reliability. Here we have a video that proves just that. Here we have a Toyota Qualis that has done over 8 lakh kilometres on the odometer and is still going strong.
The video has been shared by Nippon Toyota on their YouTube channel. In this video, we see a Toyota Qualis bought back in 2000. It is actually the first Toyota Qualis to be sold out from Nippon Toyota. The MPV is now 24 years old and the age of the vehicle is very evident in the video.
The exterior paint and stickers have lost its gloss and sheen and that is very natural on a car which is over 20 years old. It is not the best looking Qualis in the state but, there is one thing that makes this Qualis different from others. The differentiating factor is the odometer reading on this vehicle.
The video was published back in 2020 and at the time of recording this video, the car had done over 8 lakh kms. We have seen several Toyota Innova MPVs with over 4 lakh kms on odometer doing duties without breaking a sweat.
However, this is probably the first time, we have see a Qualis with 8 lakh on odometer. This is a huge achievement and that too for a car that has survived the odometer with just regular maintenance.
The owner can be heard saying in the video that he owns couple of other vehicles in his garage but, he still uses the Qualis as his daily driver. The reason for that is its ride quality and seating comfort. The owner says he has never been this comfortable in any of his other cars. He even talks about the servicing and tells that all the servicing of the vehicle was done through an authorised service centre only.
As mentioned above, the Toyota Qualis has done over 8.22 lakh kms and it looks like the car still has plenty of life left in it. Over the years of use, the owner has found the car extremely reliable and is impressed with the overall performance.
Toyota Qualis was powered by a 2.4 litre diesel engine generating 75 Ps and 151 Nm of peak torque. There was a petrol engine also on offer. Both the diesel and petrol engines got a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. The Qualis had capacity to seat up to 8-passengers.
As mentioned above, the MUV seen here is not in its best shape but this car is a good example that shows how reliable Toyota cars can be if you take good care of them. We have done another article on what makes Toyota cars this reliable.
