Toyota Pixis Epoch

Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) launched the "Pixis Epoch" on May 10, 2012, in Japan. It was the second passenger minivehicle to be sold under the Toyota brand. The Pixis Epoch represents the fourth vehicle supplied by Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. to TMC under a minivehicle OEM agreement reached in September 2010.

All models are equipped with the eco-IDLE*3 system—an idling-stop function that shuts off the engine as the vehicle comes to a stop (approximately 7 km/h or less)—and other fuel-saving features to achieve a fuel efficiency of 30.0 km/L under the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) JC08 test cycle and CO2 emissions of 77 g/km.

The compact body (length of 3,395 mm, width of 1,475 mm and height of 1,500 mm) enables the Pixis Epoch to park in low-clearance parking areas, while the Roomy interior still allows plenty of space for four adults. With a minimum turning radius of 4.4 m, the Pixis Epoch comfortably navigates sharp corners on narrow roads, minimizes fuss when parking and provides excellent maneuverability in everyday driving.
