The new Aqua now runs on the similar TNGA compact platform first applied on the Yaris and when compared to the previous model, it is more fun to drive and easier to live within the city center or in the suburbs.
Under the hood, the Aqua runs on the new 1.5L Dynamic Force engine bolted to an electric motor and the world’s first bipolar Ni-MH battery, offered on more expensive models. This new kind of battery has twice the output, improved throttle response, and smooth low-speed acceleration compared to a normal nickel-metal battery. You can even drive it on electric power only as well.
For the first time, the all-new Aqua can be offered with the E-Four hybrid four-wheel-drive system that sure is coming in handy in case of weather change or in need of some extra power as well as a li-ion battery-powered entry model.
An entry-level Aqua with a li-ion battery on it has a fuel economy of 35.8km/L based on WLTC standards.
