Do you want to see the Toyota Tamaraw Super SWB in PH?

MANILA: Toyota has released the “Super Short Wheelbase” (Super SWB) variant of the Tamaraw in Thailand. 

Known as the Toyota Hilux Champ in the Land of Smiles, the Super SWB is the third variant of the nameplate alongside the Tamaraw Short Wheelbase (SWB) and Long Wheelbase (LWB). 

For reference, here are the measurements of the Super SWB trim for the Thai-spec Toyota Tamaraw:

Length (in millimeters)	4,520
Width (in mm)	1,785
Height (in mm)	1,735
Wheelbase length (in mm)	2,580
Ground clearance (in mm)	166.5
Bed size (LXWXH in mm)	1,867x1,711x327

Per the figures above, the Toyota Tamaraw Super SWB has a 450 mm shorter overall length and a 780 mm shorter wheelbase compared to the SWB. It has the same width and height as the SWB, but otherwise, it features a shorter deck and slightly taller ground clearance.

With its stubbier wheelbase length, Toyota says that the Tamaraw Super SWB boasts a smaller turning radius compared to the SWB and LWB versions. So, while its cargo space might be compromised, the new Super SWB variant of the Tamaraw could prove to be a more maneuverable ride - a potential interest point for people looking to acquire the nameplate as a lifestyle vehicle.

Appearance-wise, the Thai-spec Super SWB looks identical to its longer counterparts. The Thai-spec trim was also equipped with black upper and lower front grilles, a chunky black-colored front bumper, LED headlamps, 14-inch wheels, and electronically-adjustable side mirrors. 

Its two-seater cabin, on the other hand, comes with the following notable features:

• PVC seats
• Urethane steering wheel
• Orange contrast trim pieces
• Center console with storage box
• USB Type-C port
• Two-piece speaker set
• Manual air-conditioning

Interestingly, the Toyota Tamaraw Super SWB uses the same 2.4-liter turbodiesel mill as the other Tamaraw diesel trims. At maximum, it can produce up to 148 horsepower and 400 Newton-meters of torque. 

Power is sent to its rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission (with a sequential shift manual mode) or a five-speed manual transmission.

Pricing

In Thailand, the Toyota Tamaraw Super SWB with the “Attractive Package” retails at ฿615,000, or around P1.1 million. It is slightly pricier compared to the locally available GL Dropside LWB, which is currently priced at P1.075 million. 

Regardless, would you want to trade more cargo space for a Toyota Tamaraw that’s more agile? For that matter, would you want to see the Super SWB reach the Philippine market too?
