Toyota Succeed News & Updates

This generation is NCP160 of Toyota Succeed, available from 2014 - 2020.

common 1,496cc 1NZ-FE petrol engine produces 109 hp and up to 141 Nm, depending on the specific production specification. Later XP160 versions use a Super CVT-i automatic transmission, while 4WD versions have a lower output specification.

A healthy 1.5L petrol Succeed takes approximately 11–12 seconds for 0–100 km/h. It is not designed as a performance car; the engine prioritises smooth, economical everyday operation.

The braking system uses ventilated front disc brakes and rear drum brakes, with ABS, EBD and brake assist. Later versions also have VSC/TRC, giving better control during emergency braking and slippery-road situations.

Yes, Succeed is available as used car mostly, you can find your preferred condition within budget.

For the 1.5L petrol Toyota Succeed 2014-2020, realistic Bangladesh figures are approximately:

City: 9–11 km/L
Highway: 13–16 km/L
Combined: 11–14 km/L

Heavy Dhaka traffic, frequent AC use, carrying heavy loads, tyre pressure, driving style and engine condition can push city mileage below this range.

The XP160 petrol range includes U, UL, UL-X and TX, with 2WD and 4WD configurations. A hybrid range consisting of U, UL, UL-X and TX was added from December 2018.

The U is the more straightforward configuration for practical everyday use. UL and UL-X add equipment and convenience features, while TX is positioned as the higher-grade option.

If you mainly drive in Dhaka and want lower running costs, the 1.5L 2WD petrol version is straightforward to live with. If fuel economy is the priority and you find a properly inspected later model, the hybrid offers substantially better official fuel economy.

If you regularly travel on poor roads or need additional traction, a 4WD petrol version is available.

Yes. The Succeed's compact width, upright driving position, good visibility and practical suspension make it well suited to Bangladesh's urban roads.

The 140mm ground clearance is adequate for normal paved roads but requires care over large Dhaka speed breakers, deep potholes and broken road edges. You should avoid taking it over severe obstacles at speed.

The square body is particularly useful in crowded areas because it is easy to judge the vehicle's corners. The approximately 4.9-metre turning radius also makes tight turns and parking easier.

For highway driving, the Succeed is stable and economical enough for normal cruising. Its main weakness on rough Bangladesh roads is not its size but the relatively low ground clearance and commercial-style suspension.

Yes. The 1.5L engine, CVT transmission, compact dimensions and excellent visibility make the Succeed practical for Dhaka city driving.

The CVT keeps the engine operating smoothly in stop-and-go traffic, while the relatively light body helps the 1.5L engine maintain reasonable fuel economy.

The large windows and upright seating position are useful around rickshaws, CNGs, motorcycles and pedestrians. The rear cargo area is another major advantage if you regularly carry shopping, luggage or equipment.

Expect roughly 9–11 km/L in typical Dhaka city conditions from a healthy petrol model. Heavy traffic with constant idling and AC use can reduce this further.

The Succeed is especially useful when you want something more practical than a sedan without moving into the size and fuel consumption of an SUV

Toyota Succeed 2014-2020 models is generally straightforward to maintain in Bangladesh because the 1NZ-FE engine and Toyota running gear are familiar to local workshops.

For a healthy 1.5L petrol model, budgeting around ৳20,000–35,000 per year for routine maintenance is reasonable, excluding fuel, insurance, registration and major repairs.

An older locally used vehicle may require more. Keeping an additional ৳30,000–60,000 repair reserve is sensible for suspension, brakes, battery, AC components, tyres and other age-related repairs.

For a later reconditioned Succeed, the first-year cost depends heavily on the auction grade and what was replaced before import. A clean auction-grade car can require relatively little work, while a heavily used commercial example may need considerably more attention.

Before buying a used Toyota Succeed, inspect the engine, CVT, suspension, brakes, AC, steering, electrical system, chassis and body.

For a reconditioned Japanese import, check the auction sheet, auction grade, mileage consistency and chassis number carefully.

During the test drive, make sure the CVT accelerates smoothly without abnormal vibration, delayed engagement or unusual transmission noise.
