Interior & Exterior

Coaster boasts a sense of timeless style. A front bumper and grille complement headlamps and indicator lights, resulting in a sleek exterior. Inside there is a clever instrument panel design, eye-catching upholstery (passenger seats Deluxe grade only) and storage space (Deluxe grade). From the moment passengers step on board through the automatic sliding door (Deluxe grade), they'll notice the difference.

Durability

Inside and out, the Toyota Coaster is built to last. With extensive use of anti-corrosion steels, anti-chip paint applied to front and rear wheel arches, tinted windows protecting the interior upholstery, and Toyota's standard high level of mechanical reliability throughout, you maximise the return on your investment by spending more time on the road and less time in the shop.

Passenger comfort

A comfortable passenger is a happy passenger. The Coaster boasts generous headroom and legroom, ample space between seats, high ceiling, large windows and 4 speaker MP3 compatible CD sound system with 3.5mm AUX input for portable audio players and USB input for some iPods®+^/USB memory sticks^. Coaster also comes with air conditioning#, cloth seats***, heating, tinted windows, and large comfortable seats. Most passenger seats are mounted with single posts, which maximises legroom and allows passengers to easily fit their baggage under the seats.

Thanks to long tapered rear leaf springs and independent front suspension with double wishbones and upper torsion bar, the Coaster delivers a comfortable, stable ride, with minimal body roll.

4 speaker CD sound system

No need for passenger singalongs on the Coaster. With a 4 speaker CD system, you can leave the singing to the experts. Now with the addition of 3.5mm AUX input for portable audio players and USB input for some iPods®/USB memory sticks to make those long trips even more enjoyable. The Coaster also comes with built-in Bluetooth™ capability and allows hands-free conversation.

Other audio features include:

• AM/FM radio
• Public Address (PA) system and microphone
• 40Wx4 max. power
• Owner Set Security Pin

Driver comfort

When you spend all day at the wheel, you really value your creature comforts. And Toyota Coaster gives you plenty. It all starts with an ergonomic seat, dash, gear lever, and steering wheel combination. From there, the list goes on... Power steering, rear demister, air conditioning#, intermittent wipers, adjustable driver's bucket seat with lumbar support, tilt adjustable steering wheel, convex left mirror, a large brake booster for smooth braking and 14.4m turning circle.

In addition Coasters have a newly designed instrument panel that emphasizes a sense of spaciousness. Items such as the driver's seat register and seat belt reminder#, combination meter, low fuel indicator#, heater control panel and audio deck space are installed in a horizontal line facing the driver's side for easier visibility and improved operation. Automatic folding passenger door in the Standard Coaster, and automatic gliding door in the Deluxe... It all adds up to a driver experience which is so comfortable, you won't want to get out!

Safety

For added safety, ABS brakes allow for more controlled braking when it really counts and four emergency exits. The Coaster's 4.0 litre turbo diesel engine shows great acceleration when you need it most.

Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seatbelts

Keep your passengers safer with the 2-point type seatbelts with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR). This is a huge advancement in safety for the Coaster. ELR seatbelts are sensitive to the Vehicles motion and automatically lock upon sudden stop or collision, helping to keep you and your passengers safe.

4 emergency exit points

With the safety of so many people at stake, it's a big comfort to know that all Coasters come standard with four emergency exits. The side door is activated by an emergency override switch. The driver or a passenger can open the passenger side door automatically, allowing a fast evacuation. There are also side emergency exit windows and a rear emergency exit door which is clearly indicated with an illuminated sign.

ABS Standard

Coaster's Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) helps the driver to steer the vehicle around obstacles whilst ensuring an optimal braking distance. Speed sensors monitor the speed of each wheel and whenever the sensors detect a wheel begin to lock up, the ABS will reduce brake pressure to that wheel. This process is repeated in rapid succession for each wheel, preventing wheel lock up and maintaining steering control.

Door ajar warning

With 20 passengers, there's a lot for a driver to be aware of. Coaster makes the job a little easier by displaying a warning light on the instrument panel to let you know when any of the vehicle's doors are ajar. From August 2009 production, the Deluxe models also come with a power door lock as standard.

Mechanical

Whether you're dropping off at the local school or sports club, or picking up from the airport, even with a full passenger load you'll marvel at the Coaster's smooth power. With both the 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission (option on Deluxe grade), the Coaster is as happy zipping around the city as it is cruising along on the freeway - even with trailer in tow. And when you get to your destination, you'll be pleased to know that the Coaster has been designed for smooth turning and easy parking.

Advanced suspension

To any bus passenger, a smooth ride is a good ride. (Not to mention the driver!) That's why the Toyota Coaster features independent front suspension with double wishbones and an upper torsion bar. This combination not only makes for happy passengers, it also enhances driver control. Add to that the long tapered leaf springs in the rear, and you've got a comfortable - and stable - bus ride for everyone.

Power & performance

Coaster's 4.0L OHV Turbo diesel engine produces 110 kW of power and 397Nm of torque which makes it easy to pull out from the kerb, overtake on freeways and suitable for towing on long trips away. The Coaster continues to perform when it comes to parking with a tight turning circle of 14.4m making it easy to manoeuvre in tricky situations. A 4-speed automatic transmission is available on Deluxe models only.
