Toyota Tank
The Toyota Tank — a popular tall MPV in the Japanese family market with a 1.0L turbo engine, sliding doors, and compact dimensions.
Overview
The Toyota Tank has been produced since 2016. This model is the twin version of the Toyota Roomy but with a sportier exterior appearance. Built on the M900A/M910A platform. Two engine options are available: 1KR-FE 1.0L (69 hp) for the standard version and 1KR-VET 1.0L turbo (98 hp) for the more powerful version. Sliding rear doors are convenient for family use.
The Tank was sold in Japan through the Toyota Corolla Axio/Fielder dealer network. The tall wagon concept is ideal for Japanese urban life — high cabin, generous headroom, sliding doors. A 4WD variant is also available. In 2020 this model was replaced by an updated version of the Roomy.
The Toyota Tank is a rare model in Azerbaijan. Some examples exist as Japanese imports. The 1KR-FE/1KR-VET engine parts can be found through the Passo/Boon network. The turbo version delivers better performance but requires more maintenance.

Tank FAQ — Azerbaijan Buyers
How does the Toyota Tank differ from the Toyota Roomy?
The Toyota Tank and Roomy are twin models technically built on the same platform. The difference is only in exterior design — the Tank has a sportier, sharper exterior look; the Roomy has a more ordinary, family-oriented design. Engine, cabin, technical equipment are identical.
How different is the 1KR-VET turbo version from the normal version?
The 1KR-VET turbo version with 98 hp is significantly superior to the standard 1KR-FE's 69 hp. The turbo version provides more comfortable driving on highways. However, the turbo version consumes more fuel and regular maintenance of the turbo mechanism is required.
Do sliding doors cause problems in Azerbaijan?
Electric sliding doors require regular lubrication. In cold weather (below 0°C), freezing problems can sometimes occur. In Azerbaijan's mountainous regions, special attention is required during winter. However, it is generally a reliable mechanism.
Toyota Tank ?
The Toyota Tank combines high cabin space for families in compact dimensions with sliding doors and reliable 1KR engine package. The turbo version delivers satisfying performance even outside urban environments. Though rare in Azerbaijan, parts availability is addressed through the Passo/Boon network. A practical choice for families.
