Previa is packed with up-to-date features that include a navigation system, moon roof, smart entry and start system, dual automatic air conditioni­ng, power adjustable driver seat, CST, CD/DVD/MP3 player with 6-speaker audio system, steering mounted audio controls, bluetooth telephone kit, amongst others.

The smart entry and start system allows the owner to access the Previa and start it, without ever having to remove the key from the pocket. An immobilise­r system and security system is also provided.

Advanced safety measures in the Previa include both active and passive safety systems. vehicle stability control, ABS with EBD, crash safety body, high integrity cabin with front crumple zones. Seatbelts with pre-tensioners, SRS airbags including side, curtain & knee airbags, front corner sensors and rear parking sensors.

Thoughtful touches like power sliding side doors (including power backdoor) are flicked open or closed with a switch on the dash. On sunny days or moonlit nights the roof can be slid open to flood the cabin with outside light. On long trips the 60/40 split third row seats tumble fold independen­tly. Also the 2nd row seats are split foldable and can be tipped-up and slid forward to increase legroom space for third row passengers.

What's more, the Previa has 17” wheels – the largest in its class of vehicle – to ensure unmatched stability and vehicle handling. bright xenon headlamps, along with adaptive front light system (AFS), in the Previa follow the direction of your steering, ensuring safer night rides. Turn indicators built in on the side view mirrors further serve as an alert to oncoming vehicles. Rear parking sensors and front corner sensors fitted in the Previa assist safe vehicle movements... admittedly, the next best thing to valet parking.

Previa is yet another beauty from Toyota. In Oman, Toyota is a household name, a part of people's lives. Toyota offers enduring quality and, nothing comes close to it in terms of value-retention. It is no surprise; therefore, that Toyota soars far above the rest, with a dominant market share and ever-expanding customer base.

The unmatched, nationwide parts and service support of Saud Bahwan Group makes Toyota's pride of place a reality. Toyota customers in Oman enjoy 6-year unlimited mileage protection, over 98 per cent parts availabili­ty and round-the-clock care, amongst many other exclusive privileges from the Group. had to do was to put the various jumbled parts of the picture-puzzle together in the shortest possible time to form the correct picture.

Apart from the lucky ipad2 winner, there were 19 daily prize winners of portable DVD players.

As with the new Rio, where Kia has raised the bar on content and features – the 3-4-5 Facebook game provided unique and original content to enhance people's life – by adding a dash of fun and challenge. An avid gaming enthusiast also had a go at it and had this to say, “Since my time was the shortest for the day I became the winner of the daily fastest finger prize and also entered the lucky draw for the grand raffle.”

The ravishing range of Kia Rio models with a choice of 3-door coupes, 4-door sedans and 5-door hatchbacks is now available in Oman. The range targets specific segments; for example, the 3 door Rio is for young couples, the 4-door suits the family and the 5-door model is ideal for stylish youth groups/friends.

Even recently, the Rio was awarded the maximum five stars for accident safety from leading European road safety organisati­on, EURONCAP.

“The newly introduced has Rio has already generated a great deal of interest with buyers here thanks to its low running-costs and industry-leading design credential­s. We expect that this endorsemen­t of the car’s safety will further bolster its appeal to Omani buyers,” said a senior spokespers­on for the brand in Oman.
