Have you heard of the Toyota Chaser?

The Toyota Chaser is a classic JDM car that is not really well known to the mainstream, only to the true JDM enthusiasts. The first generation of the Toyota Chaser was produced in 1977 as a 2-door coupe and 4-door sedan. The coupe type was stopped in later iterations of the model.

This model was in production until 2000, for a total of 6 generations. While in production, the key feature of the Chaser was more about car economy rather than performance. As such, the chaser had slightly smaller engine capacities in comparison to similar sized models.

Luxurious Design

The Toyota Chaser was one of the first models to set new standards for luxury in the Japanese automobile industry. Luxury and convenience combined gave rise to a high demand for this type of vehicle.

The interior color is selectable as black or dark brown, each of which has been carefully designed to coordinate with the exterior color scheme to reflect the subtlety and sophistication that modern drivers seek in automobiles.

As for the seat, there are 4 different types, which are suitable for different model levels. The exterior design of the Toyota Chaser is compact, but provides ample internal space and adds an enlarged window area to bring a relaxed, roomy feel to the car. By reducing the noise and engine roars and various other vibrations, a quieter ride also improves comfort. Seats with good damping and retention characteristics have been installed in the Chaser, while the driver's seat can be adjusted vertically with rubber mounts. The radio speakers are located on the door panels on both sides, greatly improving the overall excellence and feel of the car.

The Chaser’s exterior body style incorporates innovative proportions, highlighting the elegance and sportiness of a luxury car. The outer contour is designed for the best aerodynamic characteristics of that time further improving fuel efficiency.

In conclusion

The Toyota Chaser is a nice, easy-to-use car with good fuel economy. If you’re looking for a JDM car that has good fuel efficiency along with a luxury feel, this vehicle is the perfect match for you.
