People searching Toyota Platz specs, Toyota Platz engine, Toyota Platz AWD, Toyota Platz 4WD, Toyota Platz weight, Toyota Platz horsepower and Toyota Platz 2000 specs are looking at this same 1999–2005 sedan: there is no second generation in the data.

Toyota Platz generations

The Platz has 1 generation in the catalogue. There is no restyling listed as a separate generation.

1 generation (1999–2005)

1 generation ran from 1999-08-01 to 2005-10-31. Body type: Sedan. Version count: 6 — 1.0 MT, 1.0 AT, 1.3 AT, 1.3 MT, 1.5 MT, 1.5 AT. All six share the same production window as the generation. A 2000 Platz is this generation, not a later car.

Toyota Platz engine specs

Every Platz engine in the data is Gasoline, Inline, 4 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, No boost, Front, transverse, Distributed injection (multi-point), and 92 fuel. Displacement is 997, 1298 or 1496 cc depending on version. Peak power is always quoted at 6000 rpm. Torque peaks at 4000 rpm on the 1.0 engines, 4400 rpm on the 1.3 engines and 4200 rpm on the 1.5 engines.

Toyota Platz engine type and engine capacity (cc)

Toyota Platz horsepower in this catalogue is therefore 70 hp on 1.0 MT and 1.0 AT, 88 hp on 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT, and 110 hp on 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. In kilowatts that is 51 kW, 65 kW and 81 kW.

Toyota Platz engine cc / engine capacity: 997 cc on both 1.0 versions, 1298 cc on both 1.3 versions, 1496 cc on both 1.5 versions. Compression ratio is 10 on 1.0 MT and 1.0 AT, and 10.5 on 1.3 AT, 1.3 MT, 1.5 MT and 1.5 AT. Bore × stroke is 69 × 66.7 on the 1.0 engines, 75 × 73.5 on the 1.3 engines and 75 × 84.7 on the 1.5 engines.

Engine oil capacity, oil type, engine number, engine number location and engine price are not measured here. Those search queries cannot be answered from this data set.

Toyota Platz AWD / 4WD

Toyota Platz AWD in this data is only the 1.3 pair. 1.3 AT is AWD with an Automatic 4-speed gearbox, 88 hp, 120 Nm, kerb weight 1000 kg and clearance 155 mm. 1.3 MT is AWD with a Manual 5-speed gearbox, the same 88 hp and 120 Nm, kerb weight 990 kg and clearance 155 mm. The 1.0 and 1.5 versions are FWD, not AWD. There is no separate “4WD” label in the data; the AWD versions are 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT.

Toyota Platz specifications: chassis, brakes, tank

Across all six versions the front suspension is Independent, spring and the rear is Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem (English label as stored). Front brakes are Ventilated disc; rear brakes are Drum. Fuel tank is 45 l on every version.

Performance and economy (mpg, fuel economy)

Toyota Platz mpg and Toyota Platz fuel economy figures are not measured for any version: city, highway and combined consumption are all not measured. 0–100 km/h is not measured. Top speed is not measured. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured.

What the data does give for comparing load and gearing:

• Lightest: 1.0 MT at 850 kg with 70 hp and a Manual 5-speed, FWD.
• Same engine, Automatic: 1.0 AT is 870 kg (20 kg heavier than 1.0 MT), 4 gears, FWD.
• Strongest FWD: 1.5 MT at 110 hp / 143 Nm and 910 kg; 1.5 AT is the same engine with Automatic 4 gears and 930 kg.
• AWD pair: 1.3 MT 990 kg, 1.3 AT 1000 kg, both 88 hp / 120 Nm.

Power-to-weight from these numbers (hp per 1000 kg of kerb weight, rounded): 1.0 MT 82.4, 1.0 AT 80.5, 1.3 MT 88.9, 1.3 AT 88.0, 1.5 MT 120.9, 1.5 AT 118.3. That ranking uses only catalogue mass and horsepower; it is not a measured 0–100 time.

Toyota Platz dimensions and weight

Overall length, width, height and wheelbase are not measured. Wheel sizes are not measured. Gross vehicle weight is not measured.

Toyota Platz weight (kerb):

Spread: 1.3 AT is 150 kg heavier than 1.0 MT. 1.5 AT sits 20 mm lower than 1.5 MT (135 mm vs 155 mm) and 15 mm lower than the 1.0 versions (150 mm). The two AWD 1.3 versions share the highest listed clearance at 155 mm, equal to 1.5 MT.

Which Toyota Platz version to choose

Use the six names exactly as listed. Differences below are arithmetic on the catalogue numbers.

Choose 1.0 MT if the priority is lowest mass and a Manual gearbox: 850 kg, 70 hp, 95 Nm, 997 cc, FWD, 5 gears, 150 mm clearance. It is 20 kg lighter than 1.0 AT and 150 kg lighter than 1.3 AT.

Choose 1.0 AT for the same 70 hp / 997 cc engine with an Automatic 4-speed, still FWD, kerb 870 kg, clearance 150 mm. Versus 1.0 MT you add 20 kg and drop from 5 gears to 4.

Choose 1.3 MT if you need AWD and a Manual: 88 hp, 120 Nm, 1298 cc, 5 gears, 990 kg, 155 mm. Versus 1.0 MT that is +18 hp, +25 Nm, +301 cc, +140 kg, +5 mm clearance, and AWD instead of FWD. Versus 1.3 AT it is 10 kg lighter and uses 5 Manual gears instead of 4 Automatic gears.

Choose 1.3 AT for AWD with Automatic: 88 hp, 120 Nm, 1298 cc, 4 gears, 1000 kg (heaviest Platz in this set), 155 mm. It is 10 kg heavier than 1.3 MT and 70 kg heavier than 1.5 AT, despite making 22 hp less than the 1.5 engines.

Choose 1.5 MT for the highest listed power on FWD: 110 hp, 143 Nm, 1496 cc, Manual 5, 910 kg, 155 mm. Versus 1.0 MT: +40 hp, +48 Nm, +499 cc, +60 kg, +5 mm clearance. Versus 1.3 MT: +22 hp, +23 Nm, +198 cc, FWD instead of AWD, and 80 kg less kerb weight.

Choose 1.5 AT for 110 hp with Automatic 4 gears and FWD: 930 kg. It is the only version with 135 mm clearance — 20 mm lower than 1.5 MT. Versus 1.0 AT: +40 hp, +48 Nm, +60 kg, −15 mm clearance.

If the search is specifically Toyota Platz AWD / 4WD, the only matches in this data are 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT. If the search is Toyota Platz engine peak output, the 1.5 pair is 110 hp / 143 Nm; the 1.0 pair is 70 hp / 95 Nm.

Toyota Platz review notes: reliability, problems, vs other models

Is Toyota Platz a good car / reliability / problems: this catalogue does not list failure rates, common faults, or service-manual PDFs. What is measured is a narrow mechanical set: Gasoline Inline 4, No boost, Distributed injection (multi-point), 92 fuel, Ventilated disc front / Drum rear, Independent, spring front and Semi-independent, springorts hélicoïdaux, sem rear, 45 l tank, kerb 850–1000 kg. Any claim about “problems” beyond those specs would be outside the data.

Toyota Platz vs Vitz and Toyota Platz vs Toyota Belta: those models are not in this data set, so no comparison table is possible here. The Platz in these numbers is a Sedan, 1 generation, 1999-08-01–2005-10-31, six versions as named above.

For sale / price (Pakistan, Karachi, Lahore, Bangladesh, Kenya): prices and listings are not measured. This article is specifications only.

Service manual PDF, engine oil type, engine oil capacity, engine number location: not measured.

In short: one Toyota Platz generation, Sedan, 1999–2005, six versions from 1.0 MT (70 hp, 850 kg, FWD) to 1.5 AT (110 hp, 930 kg, FWD, 135 mm) with AWD only on 1.3 AT and 1.3 MT.
