Pros and cons

Pros

  • Powerful versions: up to 200 hp

  • Currently in production — can be bought new
  • Sold in all major markets of the region — parts and mechanics available

Cons

  • Toyota Dynamic Force engine (A25A, M20A, T24A, V35A): new, little reliability data so far
  • Aisin gearbox (Toyota/Lexus 4–8-speed automatic): jolts when shifting at high mileage

Common problems and what to check

Engine: Toyota Dynamic Force (A25A, M20A, T24A, V35A)

  • few widespread issues: the engines are relatively new, with less data

What to check when buying: dealer service history; any recall campaigns by VIN.

Tip: Only 0W-16/0W-20 approved oil; don't delay changes.

Gearbox: Aisin (Toyota/Lexus 4–8-speed automatic)

  • shift shocks at high mileage
  • solenoid wear from old oil

What to check when buying: shift smoothness with a warmed-up gearbox.

Tip: Reliable gearboxes; despite being "maintenance-free", it's better to change the oil every 60–80k km.
