TheToyota Progrès (pronounced "Prog-Ray") is amid-sizeluxurysedan which was sold inJapan from May 1998 to June 2007, replacing theToyota Corona EXiV. The Progrès included 2.5 L or 3.0 LJZ inline 6-cylinder engines withVVT-i. Since April 2001, the Progrès used 1JZ-FSE (2.5 L) and 2JZ-FSE (3.0 L)direct injection (D4) engines. The versions with a 1JZ engine were calledNC250, and those with a 2JZ engineNC300. It was exclusive to Toyota Japan dealershipsToyopet Store, while its twin theBrevis was exclusive toToyota Store locations, and shared a marketing approach used on theToyota Vista Store alternative, called theToyota Verossa. The width and engine displacement exceedJapanese Government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement, and therefore it classified in the larger "passenger car" tax bracket. Two engine sizes were offered to allow Japanese buyers which annualroad tax they were willing to pay; the larger engine did offer higher levels of standard equipment and luxury features.[1]
The name "progrès" isFrench for "progress".[1]
The Progrès was available with 6 airbags, voice activated GPS system calledG-Book, NAVI AI-SHIFT world first GPS-guided cartransmission (mechanics),[2] full wood and leather trim, gilt or silver analogue clock and full soft touch plastic interior, dual zone air conditioning and automatic head lights and wipers. Interior size was also generous,[citation needed] offering the best cu. ft. of space in its class,[citation needed] despite its Lexus IS underpinnings – yet, unlike the Lexus IS, the ride was "willing and ready" rather than the sort of ride expected from a sport sedan,[according to whom?] as it was installed with double wishbone suspension at both the front and rear wheels.[1]
The Progrès was discontinued in Japan in June 2007, while the slightly smallerToyota Premio continued as an affordable luxury car offering.
