Toyota’s premium people mover a Quantum leap for the family
Four captain's chairs and plenty of creature comforts enough to keep everyone happy on a road trip.
For an extended family road trip, such as a journey from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park, space and comfort are paramount. Toyota's premium people mover, the Quantum VX, steps up to the task with aplomb. This 9-seater van offers "limousine-like" cabin comfort and refinement, accommodating up to eight passengers (nine-seater) with plush captain's chairs, independent rear-climate control, and multiple USB ports.
The interior is topped off with quilted-leather upholstery, power-adjustable backrests, and soft blue lighting, creating an atmosphere befitting a VIP shuttle or luxury family vacation.
The van's layout is designed for executive travel, with four reclining captain's chairs in the second and third rows, complemented by a 60/40-split bench for three passengers in the rear. Despite the luxurious interior, there is limited space for luggage and food, making a trailer a practical addition for those who want to bring all necessary supplies. The trip to Kruger National Park may have been slowed by roadworks, but the Toyota Quantum VX's comfort would make the experience enjoyable nonetheless.
Upon returning from the trip, the van's powerful engine proved its worth, especially when navigating the Elands Valley section of the N4, which passed through Waterval Boven and Waterfall Onder. The four-cylinder 2.8GD-6 turbodiesel engine, capable of 115kW @ 3600rpm, provided ample power for the journey. The independent rear-climate control ensured that passengers remained comfortable, even if the windows couldn't be fully opened.
Overall, the Toyota Quantum VX 9-seater offers an unrivaled blend of comfort, luxury, and power, making it the perfect vehicle for memorable family adventures.
