Interior and Exterior Comparison

Toyota Wish

The Toyota Wish is a 7-seater car that was first presented to the Japanese market in 2003. It enjoys wild popularity due to its adaptability and versatility for both private and commercial uses. Currently in its second generation, the second generation was in production from 2009 – 2017. Its esteem can be endorsed by its exceptional fuel economy, dependability, and versatile MPV design.

(a) Cabin Storage

Through attractive design, Toyota abolished the transmission tunnel that usually interferes with the 2nd row seats in many cars. In the driver cabin, the driver’s seat is set at an elevated position that affords the driver a commanding view of the road.

The 2nd row space is good and even the middle seat an adult can comfortably sit in and this is because of the flat floor. The 3rd row seats have large legroom and they are actually among the best we’ve seen in cars in this category. The headroom is good enough with a high roof and even tall passengers will find it comfortable. Toyota Wish has the feel of a van.

The Toyota Wish still offers some resourceful storage sections that are useful for storing items such as smartphones, documents, and beverages. At the first row, there is a door panel storage, 4 cup-holders, a glove-box, and a center dish that stretches to the back. For the second row, there are door pockets and storage is on the front seat jacket pockets. On the third row, there are 2 storage compartments on the sides.

(b) Cargo Space

The Honda Stream is a 7-seater MPV that was in production for 2 generations from 2000 to the present. The first generation was in production from 2000 to 2006 and the second generation was in production from 2006 to 2014.

In June 2014, production for the Honda Stream ended and it was replaced with the Honda Jade. Honda Stream is a sleek trendsetter and stylish in terms of looks. It sports a modern sporty design with aggressive headlights, side mirror indicators, 17-inch alloy rims, and a streamlined body. The huge headlights exude an appealing charm paired with optional fog lights while the curved bonnet creates an elegant shape that captivates the eye from the front.

(a) Cabin Storage

This 7-seater MPV has a large cabin. However, the interior design isn’t as varied as the exterior. There’s sufficient room for even the tallest passengers despite the sloping design.

Even in the third row, tall passengers can sit happily. The seats are expanded providing a comfortable driving experience for all. It comes with a classic steering wheel with audio controls, a backlit instrument cluster, and a normal sunroof that makes the cabin look larger and classy.

The cabin space has a glove box, two cup holders, a center box, a front-passenger under-seat tray, a rear armrest compartment, cockpit pocket, and large door pockets.

(b) Cargo Space

The cargo space is also quite roomy. The boot space can accommodate medium luggage. However, it misses a roller cover leaving the contents exposed to prying eyes. The luggage space is more than enough for bulky goods when the seats are folded.
