Don’t new Toyotas usually debut at the top of their class?
Interior Noise
Since when were Toyotas noisy inside? We noted plenty of wind noise coming from the outside mirrors, and quite a bit of road noise filters through at speed, too. The engine is loud under full throttle, with a thrash that’s unusual in V-6s. The suspension absorbs bumps well, but does nothing to prevent the transmission of every thwack and rumble that you hit. It’s not like your ears will bleed after an hour of this din, but considering the silence afforded in competitors like the Hyundai Veracruz at the same price, it’s hard to ignore.
