The Toyota Progrès (pronounced "Prog-Ray") is a
Toyota Vista Store alternative, called the Toyota Verossa. The width and engine displacement exceed Japanese Government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and engine displacement, and therefore it classified in the larger "passenger car" tax bracket. Two engine sizes were offered to allow Japanese buyers which annual road tax they were willing to pay; the larger engine did offer higher levels of standard equipment and luxury features.[1]
The name "progrès" is French for "progress".[1]
The Progrès was available with 6 airbags, voice activated GPS system called
transmission (mechanics),[2] full wood and leather trim, gilt or silver analogue clock and full soft touch plastic interior, dual zone air conditioning and automatic head lights and wipers. Interior size was also generous,[citation needed] offering the best cu. ft. of space in its class,[citation needed] despite its Lexus IS underpinnings – yet, unlike the Lexus IS, the ride was "willing and ready" rather than the sort of ride expected from a sport sedan,[according to whom?] as it was installed with double wishbone suspension at both the front and rear wheels.[1]
The Progrès was discontinued in Japan in June 2007, while the slightly smaller Toyota Premio continued as an affordable luxury car offering.
