Toyota Aqua, iyo inozivikanwawo pasi rose sePrius C, yava mota ine mukurumbira zvikuru mumigwagwa yeZimbabwe. Kubva mumigwagwa yakabatikana yeHarare kusvika kumigwagwa mikuru inobatanidza Bulawayo neGweru, mota iyi diki yeHybrid inodiwa nechikonzero chimwe chete chakakosha: kuchengetedza peturu zvisingaenzaniswi. Sezvo mitengo yepeturu ichichinja-chinja uye vatyairi vachitsvaga nzira dzekuchengetedza mari, Aqua inopa hurongwa hwe "Synergy Drive" hunoderedza mari yekufambisa pasina kukanganisa kusimba kunozivikanwa neToyota.
Kusiyana nedzimwe mota diki (hatchbacks), Aqua haingoiti zvechipa pakufamba chete; yakavakirwa pachasi yakasimba, iine nzvimbo yemukati yakakura uye tekinoroji yemazuva ano. Kunyangwe uchitsvaga Toyota Aqua yakambo shandiswa (used) muZimbabwe kuti ive mota yako yemazuva ese, mota yekutanga yemwana wechikoro, kana mota yebhizimusi isingadhure kumhanyisa, mhando yeAqua NHP10 (uye mhando itsva dzeMXPK) isarudzo yehungwaru. Inobatanidza kugona kwayo kumanikira mudhorobha uye simba rekufamba nzendo refu.
Mitengo yeToyota Aqua muZimbabwe
Mitengo yeToyota Aqua inosiyana zvichienderana negore rayakagadzirwa, chiyero cheAuction (Grade), uye mhando yacho (Trim level). Kunyangwe musika wemota muZimbabwe uchiwanzoshandisa maUS Dollar pakutenga nekuda kwekuti yakasimba, kutenga kunogona kuitwa nemari yemuno ye Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) pachishandiswa mitengo yebhangi iripo.
Pazasi pane gwara remitengo chaiyo zvichienderana nemota dziripo dzinenge dzasvika muZimbabwe (mitero/duty neclearing costs zvirimo).
Mota dzeKutanga / Dzekare (2012–2014): Idzi ndidzo dzinonyanya kuchipa kune avo vanoda kutanga kushandisa mota dzeHybrid. Dzinowanzowanikwa dziri L Grade kana S Grade iri basic, dzinopa pundutso yeHybrid nemutengo wakaderera.

(Cherechedzo: Mitengo yeZiG ifungidziro inobva pamitengo yekuchinjisa mari iripo. Kutenga zvakananga kubva kuJapan (Direct Import) kunogona kuita kunge kwakachipa paFOB, asi mitero nekutakura kubva kuDurban zvinofanirwa kuverengerwa zvakasiyana.)
Pasi peBoneti: Injini neMashandiro eHybrid
Moyo weToyota Aqua NHP10 injini ye 1NZ-FXE, inova injini ye 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder Atkinson cycle petrol inoshanda pamwe chete nemota yemagetsi (electric motor). Uku ndiko kurongeka kwakasimba kwakafanana nekuya kunowanikwa muPrius yechizvarwa chechipiri (2nd Gen), asi kwakagadziridzwa kuti kuenderane nemuviri mudiki uye wakareruka.
Kura kweInjini: 1,496cc (1.5L)
Simba reSystem: Simba rakaunganidzwa rinosvika 100 hp (73 kW).
Transmission: Electronic Continuously Variable Transmission (e-CVT).
Drivetrain: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD).
Kutyaira kwacho kwakatsetseka uye hakuna ruzha. Mumigwagwa yeHarare yakazara, mota inogona kufamba ichishandisa magetsi chete (EV Mode) kwenhedzi pfupi, zvichichengetedza peturu apo inenge ichidiwa zvakanyanya. Pakuwedzera kumhanya kana kukwira makomo, injini yepeturu inopinda zviri nyore. Kune vatyairi vemuZimbabwe, izvi zvinoreva kuti unowana simba reinjini ye 1.5L asi ichidya peturu semudhudhudhu mudiki.
Mashandisirwo ePeturu
Uyu ndiwo mubvunzo mukuru kune vatengi: Inonyatsoshandisa peturu yakawanda sei? Toyota Aqua inozivikanwa nekuchengetedza zvakanyanya. Kunyangwe ongororo dzeJapan dzichiti inofamba 35.4 km/L, kutyaira chaiko muZimbabwe kunopa zvibereko zvakasiyana zvishoma asi zvichiri zvinoshamisa.
Kutyaira muDhorobha: Tarisira 20–25 km/L. Iyi system yeHybrid inoshanda zvakanaka pano, ichigadzira magetsi pese paunotsika mabhureki.
Kutyaira mumugwagwa mukuru (Highway): Tarisira 18–22 km/L. Kusiyana nemota dzisiri dzeHybrid, maHybrid haanyanyochengetedza zvakanyanya kana achimhanya zvakanyanya mumugwagwa mukuru, asi achiri nani pane mota diki dzepeturu.
Kufamba kweTangi: Netangi repeturu re 36-litre, tangi rakazara rinogona kukufambisa daro rinosvika 700 km kusvika 850 km, zvichiita kuti ive yakanaka kune nzendo refu pasina kumira-mira pamaGareji.
Tsananguro yeMhando (Grades & Variants)
Kunzwisisa "Grade" kwakakosha pakutsvaga mota dzakashandiswa dzekuJapan. Aqua inouya mumhando huru nhatu:
L Grade (Base Model) Sarudzo yekutanga isingadhure. Inotarisa zvakanyanya pakuchengetedza mari.
Zvirimo: Mahwindo ekumashure anovhurwa nemaoko (kazhinji), zvigaro zvemachira akareruka, maspeaker mashoma, uye muviri wakareruka kuti ichengetedze peturu.
Yakanakira: Mushandiro weUber/Taxi kana vatengi vanoda kuchengetedza mari.
S Grade (Mid-Range - Sarudzo ine Mukurumbira) Iyi ndiyo inotengwa zvakanyanya. Inoenzanisa mutengo nekugarika zvakanaka.
Zvirimo: Mahwindo emagetsi (power windows) mota yese, zvigaro zvemachira ari nani, zvigaro zvekumashure zvinopeteka (60/40), uye inowanzouya necover dzemavhiri dzakanaka kana ma-alloys. Zvekuisa musoro (Headrests) kumashure zviripo pane iyi.

Kura Kwayo, Nzvimbo & Kushandisika
Aqua imota diki ("supermini"), asi inoshandisa nzvimbo yayo nehungwaru. Bhatiri reHybrid riri pasi pechigaro chekumashure, zvichireva kuti nzvimbo yebhutsu (boot space) haina kudzikiswa.
Hurefu: 3,995 mm (Diki zvakakwana kupaka pakamanikana mudhorobha).
Hufara: 1,695 mm.
Nzvimbo yeBhutsu: Inosvika 305 litres. Unogona kukwanisa masutukesi maviri epakati kana magrosari evhiki zviri nyore.
Kutenderera (Turning Radius): 4.8 metres (L/S grades). Kutenderera kupfupi uku kunoita kuti zvive nyore kuita U-turn mumigwagwa yakamanikana.
Kuchengetedzeka & Tekinoroji (Safety)
Kunyangwe iri mota yakashandiswa (used import), Aqua inouya nezvekuchengetedzwa zvemazuva ano. Mota zhinji dzekubva 2015 zvichienda mberi dzinosanganisira:
Airbags: MaAirbag maviri kumberi uye ekumativi (curtain airbags) pamhando dzepamusoro.
ABS & VSC: Anti-lock Braking System ne Vehicle Stability Control ndezvemazuva ese, zvakakosha pakubata taira pane giravhuru kana tara inotsvedza panguva yekunaya.
Toyota Safety Sense (Mota dze 2016+): Tsvaga mota dzine "Lane Departure Alert" ne "Pre-Collision System" (laser radar/camera) kuti uve nerunyararo mumigwagwa mikuru.
Sei Uchifanira Kusarudza Carbarn yeToyota Aqua Yako?
Kutenga Toyota Aqua yakashandiswa muZimbabwe kunogona kutyisa nekuda kwevatengesi vakawanda vasina kunyatsomira zvakanaka (grey imports). Carbarn Zimbabwe inopa nzira yakajeka, yeunyanzvi yekuwana mota dzemhando yepamusoro dzeJapan.
Kuwana Mota kuJapan Zvakananga: Tinotora mota zvakananga kubva kuJapan kuma-auction nevatengesi vanovimbwa navo, tichibvisa vamiriri vakawanda kuti tikupe mutengo wakanaka.
Mhando Yakaongororwa: Tinokoshesa mota dzine maAuction Grades akajeka (semuenzaniso, Grade 4 zvichienda juu) uye tinopa magwaro ekuongorora eJEVIC. Izvi zvinovimbisa kuti mileage ndeyechokwadi uye bhatiri reHybrid rine hutano hwakanaka.
Rutsigiro rweLogistics: Kubva ku-auction kuTokyo kusvika kuDurban nekuzoburitswa kuborder, tinobata mapepa ese. Unogamuchira mota ine magwaro ese akakwana.
Hapana Mari Yakavanzika: Tinotenda mumitengo yakajeka. Kunyangwe uchitenga FOB kana kuti mota yacho yasvika muHarare, chikwata chedu chinotsanangura dhora rega rega riri kushandiswa.
Toyota Aqua Yakakukodzera Here?
Kana chinangwa chako chiri chekuderedza mari yepeturu pamwedzi asi usingafambi netsoka, Toyota Aqua ndiyo mota yakanakisa pamusika nhasi. Yakanaka kudarika Fit, inochengetedza peturu kudarika Demio, uye inotsigirwa nekusimba kusingaperi kweToyota.
