The third-row seat does not accommodate kids only but also adults because it provides enough headroom and legroom.

Roof rails can be added to make the vehicle look more appealing.

Stability And Handling

The 2019 Toyota Voxy has a smooth and stable ride. Because the steering wheel responds effectively to road curvature, controlling the car is easy. However, when approaching tight curves, one should slow down.

The suspension system provides a premium ride by cushioning passengers from enduring unstable motions caused by uneven road surfaces. The cabin is well-insulated, and so occupants are shielded from outside noise.

Other technologies fitted in this car include brake assist, traction control, electronic brake force distribution, and an anti-lock braking system.
