All new Toyota Coaster arrives in Oman

FOLLOWING a major, breakthrough exterior design change that has tremendously enhanced its appeal, Oman’s favourite people mover — the ubiquitous Toyota Coaster has arrived in the country.

According to an official note, “Keeping up with its heritage of transporting people with peace of mind and delivering unrivalled safety and comfort, the completely redesigned Toyota Coaster has been unveiled in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The new model features an even more spacious cabin, enhanced quietness and a stable ride. The design conveys strength and innovation while staying true to Coaster’s identity of delivering Enhanced Quality, Durability and Reliability.”

Toyota Motor Corporation has given the Coaster a major upgrade after 24 years of runaway success in more than 110 countries across the globe. As recently as 2015, the Coaster registered cumulative sales of more than 550,000 units since its initial release.

It is celebrated for its enhanced Quality, Durability and Reliability (QDR), and has deepened its reputation as an indispensable community and school bus that helps in safe, comfortable and reliable commute of large groups, even in harsh road and weather conditions. The Coaster was first launched as the ‘Light Bus’ in 1963, in response to increased demand for a minibus. In 1969, the vehicle underwent a partial redesign and was later renamed Coaster a name, which it has continued to use for over the past 50 years.
