Toyota Belta 2021-2023

The Toyota Belta debuted in Egypt in 2021 and was considered Toyota's version of the Suzuki Ciaz. Toyota and Suzuki collaborated to exchange models, and the Suzuki Ciaz became known in the Egyptian market and some other markets as the Toyota Belta. The Toyota Belta is therefore considered a Suzuki Ciaz, but with a different exterior logo and a new company name. The Toyota Belta debuted in Egypt in 2021 in two trim levels: The Smart, priced at EGP 235,000. The Active, priced at EGP 275,000. The car was offered at a price that made it the cheapest Japanese car in its class in Egypt, compared to any other Japanese car assembled abroad. The car was offered with a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty, meaning it is still under warranty at this time.

The car underwent its first price increase in February 2022 as follows:

Smart at EGP 250,000.

Active at EGP 290,000.

In August 2023, the price reached:

Smart at EGP 640,000.

Active at EGP 695,000.

Motor

80%
The Belta is powered by a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine capable of generating 103 hp and 138 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The fuel tank capacity is 43 liters. According to Toyota's announced data, the car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 12 seconds.

The engine is considered sufficient for the car, providing good acceleration and lively performance. The transmission offers lively performance at low speeds, but performance declines at higher speeds, with shift delays. Although it is an old, conventional transmission, it is reliable and economical.

The engine noise is also loud, which is another drawback of the car. There's also no armor at the bottom of the engine to protect it.

Fuel consumption is good, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km, which is suitable for economy-class vehicles, although the official average is much lower.

The car is 4,490 mm long, 1,730 mm wide, and 1,475 mm high, with a wheelbase of 2,650 mm. Its trunk space is 478 liters. The car features average interior space in the front and rear, not the best in its class, and a trunk that isn't the largest in the class, but it's spacious and distinctive.

 

Pros of the car:

The rear space is quite good, surpassing many competitors, and the rear bench is spacious, providing room for three people.

Storage space is good, and the car has a 478-liter trunk.

The front cabin is well-organized and well-spaced.

Disadvantages:

The car's air and sound insulation aren't the best, and the engine noise is loud in the cabin.

The air conditioning performs well, but its noise increases when the car is stopped.

The information screen is also modest and slow. Old

The front seat seating position isn't good, and tall people find the ceiling close to their heads and the space is cramped.

The cabin materials are plastic on the dashboard and doors, except for the driver's and passenger's armrests, which are leather only. The driver's seat adjustment is also limited to the rear.

The cabin equipment is poor.

 

Spare Parts

80%

Spare parts for the Toyota Belta are available at the dealership and outside, as they are essentially the same as those for the Suzuki Ciaz, whether for the interior, exterior, or engine parts, as the two cars are identical. There are actually many spare parts stores specializing in Suzuki cars that carry all parts for the car, and parts for the suspension, engine, and other parts are available. Even imported spare parts are available for both interior and exterior parts.

Suspension

70%

The car's front suspension is MacPherson strut, while the rear suspension is Torsion beam. The minimum turning radius is estimated at 5.4 meters. The car's ground clearance is 160 mm (16 cm), which is good, giving the car a solid ground clearance and helping it navigate potholes and bumps well on Egyptian roads.

The suspension isn't strong at high speeds, and in city conditions, it isn't the best in terms of comfort, as it tends to be stiff. The front suspension is good with good steering, but the problem is the stiffness of the rear suspension. However, this suspension provides good stability at medium speeds.

The Toyota Belta is considered an economical, reliable car, far removed from the Corolla, which offers comfort, smoothness, and reliability in its suspension, handling, and handling.

 

Resale

70%

Although it has been present in Egypt for several years, the Toyota Belta has not achieved significant success despite high expectations due to its introduction under the Toyota name. However, in the end, the Suzuki Ciaz continues to achieve greater popularity in the resale market, contrary to expectations. This may be due to the significantly higher prices of the Toyota Belta compared to the Suzuki Ciaz.

The Toyota Belta is a direct competitor to several cars in Egypt, most notably the Fiat Tipo, Nissan Sunny, Renault Logan, and MG 5. However, the car's main advantage is its Al-Futtaim dealership, which provides a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty, along with better service centers, readily available spare parts, and strong maintenance.

However, the car is below average in the resale market in Egypt. Although it maintains its resale value, supply and demand for it are not high, especially given the availability of a larger variety of Suzuki Ciaz models for the year's models than the Toyota Belta, the presence of lower-priced models, and the greater prevalence of the Ciaz in the market. Used.

The car's high price, compared to its capabilities, reduces demand for it in the used car market in Egypt. Perhaps the only justification for this price difference is the Toyota brand, which enjoys great reliability among Egyptian consumers.

 

Security

70%
Although the car includes basic safety features such as two airbags, anti-lock braking systems, and electronic brake distribution, it lacks many of the safety features found in competitors, such as electronic stability control, which is found even in lower-priced cars. Only the front airbags are available. Both models have been enhanced with a range of standard safety systems, including: Front seat airbags Anti-lock brakes (ABS) Electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) Engine immobilizer to protect against theft The second model outperforms the first model with the addition of a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, and cruise control.
