As a luxurious people mover, it aims to redefine the concept of family travel. Let\u2019s delve into the details and see if it lives up to the hype.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:18\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:9\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"9:1-12:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:249\"><strong>Premium Comfort:<\/strong>\u00a0Step inside the Granvia, and you&#8217;ll be greeted by a surprisingly plush cabin. High-quality materials, ample legroom in all three rows (even for tall folks!), and available captain&#8217;s chairs make every journey feel first-class.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"10:1-10:250\"><strong>Safety First:<\/strong>\u00a0Toyota takes safety seriously, and the Granvia is packed with top-notch features. Autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, and blind-spot monitoring are just a few highlights, giving you peace of mind on every drive.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"11:1-12:0\"><strong>Versatility is Key:<\/strong>\u00a0Whether you&#8217;re hauling the kids to footy practice or embarking on a weekend getaway, the Granvia adapts to your needs. Choose from six or eight-seater configurations, and with the clever fold-flat seats, you can easily create impressive cargo space.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:9\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"15:1-18:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:236\"><strong>Size Matters:<\/strong>\u00a0This isn&#8217;t your average grocery getter. The Granvia&#8217;s impressive size might take some getting used to, especially for navigating tight city streets. Consider parking sensors or a 360-degree camera as helpful add-ons.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:214\"><strong>Price Point:<\/strong>\u00a0The Granvia definitely sits on the premium end of the people mover spectrum. While the features and quality justify the cost for some, it&#8217;s worth considering your budget before taking the plunge.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"17:1-18:0\"><strong>Diesel Only:<\/strong>\u00a0If you&#8217;re looking for a hybrid or electric option, the Granvia currently only comes in a 2.8L diesel engine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:25\">How Much Does it Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:335\">The <strong>2024 Granvia<\/strong> comes in two main trims: the Granvia and the Granvia VX. The Granvia starts at a recommended retail price of $68,306 (AUD) for the six-seater version and goes up to $70,306 (AUD) for the eight-seater. The VX trim, offering a slightly more luxurious experience, starts at $77,476 (AUD) for both seating configurations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:26\">Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:342\">Beyond the comfort and safety features, the <strong>Granvia<\/strong> boasts a range of impressive tech. An infotainment system with Apple CarPlay\/Android Auto keeps everyone entertained, while tri-zone climate control ensures everyone stays comfortable. Power sliding doors, a sunroof, and a premium sound system add a touch of luxury to your everyday drives.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:11\">Safety<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"29:1-29:146\">As mentioned earlier, safety is a top priority for Toyota. The <strong>Granvia<\/strong> comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense, a suite of features that includes:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"31:1-36:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:48\"><strong>Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection<\/strong><\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"32:1-32:44\"><strong>Lane Departure Alert with Lane Keep Assist<\/strong><\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"33:1-33:50\"><strong>Blind-Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert<\/strong><\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"34:1-34:22\"><strong>Rear Parking Sensors<\/strong><\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"35:1-36:0\"><strong>And more!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"37:1-37:105\">These features work together to give you peace of mind on the road, keeping you and your loved ones safe.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"39:1-39:17\">Running Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"41:1-41:231\">The <strong>Granvia<\/strong>&#8216;s 2.8L diesel engine delivers a claimed fuel efficiency of 8.0L\/100km, which is pretty decent for a vehicle of its size. However, diesel prices can fluctuate, so factor that into your overall running cost calculations.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"43:1-43:24\">How Does it Compare?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"45:1-45:256\">The <strong>Granvia<\/strong>&#8216;s main competitor is the <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/kia-carnival\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kia Carnival<\/a>. The Carnival offers a similar blend of comfort, features, and space at a slightly lower price point. However, the Granvia might win you over with its superior safety tech and Toyota&#8217;s renowned reliability.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"47:1-47:14\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"49:1-49:345\">The <strong>2024 Toyota Granvia<\/strong> is a game-changer in the people mover segment. It offers a luxurious driving experience, top-notch safety features, and impressive versatility. While the price tag might be a bit steeper than some competitors, the overall package is definitely worth considering, especially for families who prioritize comfort and safety.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"51:1-51:25\">Rating: 8.5\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"53:1-53:268\">The <strong>Granvia<\/strong> might not be for everyone, but for those seeking a premium people mover experience, it ticks a lot of boxes. With its luxurious interior, advanced safety features, and impressive space, the Granvia is sure to turn heads and elevate your family adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2024 Toyota Granvia, a name that evokes visions of grand adventures and spacious comfort, has made its way to the Australian market.
