[Note: Don\u2019t ask us why]. The 2012 model of Toyota Estima now come new headlamps with dark-plated (smoke black) style, a bolder front bumper and a \u2018two layer style\u2019 front grille instead of \u2018V-shape\u2019 from the previous facelift.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[singlepic id=12095 w=620 h= float=]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Based on the information we gather from Toyota Japan, the 2012 Toyota Estima still remained having the 2.4-litre, 3.5-litre V6 and hybrid variants. The performance of the 2.4-litre variant still maintained with 170PS with a maximum torque of 22.9kgm, coupled with the 7-speed CVT gearbox. For the 3.5-litre V6, the engine output the same 280PS and a maximum torque of 35.1kgm, mated with 6-speed Super ECT auto gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[singlepic id=12096 w=620 h= float=]\n[singlepic id=12099 w=620 h= float=]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the hybrid variant, the exterior styling is pretty much similar with the petrol variants including the bodykit. However, the hybrid powerplant is churning a max output of 190PS with the combination of 2.4-litre engine and electric motor.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[singlepic id=12102 w=620 h= float=]\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the 2012 Toyota Estima facelift has turned the MPV to look even more aggressive, cool\u00a0and futuristic. Likely, this model will be imported from Japan to Malaysia from next year or the following year by the grey-importers as second hand cars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo Gallery: 2012 Toyota Estima JDM<\/strong><\/p>\n[nggallery id=521]\n<fb:like \n\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.fastmotoring.com\/index.php\/2012\/06\/2012-toyota-estima-gets-facelift-again-in-japan\/\" \n\t\tlayout=\"button_count\" \n\t\tshow_faces=\"true\" \n\t\twidth=\"450\" \n\t\theight=\"30\"\n\t\taction=\"like\" \n\t\tcolorscheme=\"light\" \n\t\tstyle=\"margin-top:5px;\"\n\t\tclass=\"fb_edge_widget_with_comment fb_iframe_widget\"><\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month, the popular Toyota Estima 7-seater MPV for Japan Domestic Market (JDM)\u00a0gets facelift for the third time since this generation of Estima launched back in 2006.
