Toyota Progr̮'̬s (pronounced "Prog-Ray") is a mid-sized luxury sedan Toyota sold in Japan from May 1998 to June 2007, replacing the Toyota Corona EXiV. The engine used by Toyota Progr̮'̬s is a 2.5L or 3.0L inline 6-cylinder with VVT-I. Since April 2001 Toyota has incorporated the DirectJ (FD) 1JZ-FSE (2.5L) and 2JZ-FSE (3.0L) direct injection engine (D4). It's exclusive to Toyota Japan dealers Toyopet Store, while Brevis's twin is exclusive to Toyota's store location and sharing the marketing approach used in Toyota Vista Store. an alternative, called Toyota Verossa. Machine width and displacement exceeds Japanese Government regulations on exterior dimensions and engine displacement, and are therefore classified under the larger "car passenger" tax bracket. Two engine sizes are offered to allow Japanese buyers who pay their annual road taxes; Larger engines do offer a higher level of standard equipment and fancy features.
The name "progr̮'̬s" is French for "progress".
Available with that luxury for 1998 with 6 airbags, a GPS-activated sound system called G-Book, the world's first NAVI AI-SHIFT in a GPS-guided (mechanical) car transmission, full timber and leather trim, gold or silver analog watches and soft plastic full interior, double zone air conditioners and automatic headlights and wipers, Progr̮'̬s has equipment specifications that not only surpass the European sedan with the same exterior size, but can match the much larger cars like the BMW 5 series era and Mercedes-Benz E Class. The interior size is also generous, offering the best cu. ft. space in its class, although the base of the Lexus IS - however, unlike the Lexus IS, the journey was "willing and ready" rather than the sort of journey expected of a sports sedan, because it was fitted with a double wishbone suspension on the front and rear wheels.
The Progr̮'̬s was discontinued in Japan in June 2007, while the slightly smaller Toyota Premio continued as an affordable luxury car deal.
