On September 2, 2025, Toyota will be implementing some minor changes to its popular minivan, the Noah. This minor change, which will coincide with the improvements made to its sister car, the Voxy, will explain in detail what changes will be made. We will explain in detail the price, equipment, and trim configuration, including comparisons with the current model.
Overview of the 2025 Noah partial improvement: Three major changes

1. Major restructuring of the grade system
Discontinued grades
- Standard specification “G” grade
- Standard specification “Z” grade
New grade structure
- Standard specification : “X” only
- Aero specs : “SG” and “SZ”
This restructuring simplifies the choices while significantly reducing the number of standard specification options.
2. Improved convenience through standardized equipment
Standard equipment on all vehicles (except X)
- ETC2.0 onboard device
- Blind spot monitor (SG/SZ)
- Safe Exit Assist (SG/SZ)
- Parking support brake (rear approaching vehicle) (SG/SZ)
Standard equipment by grade
- SZ : 10.5-inch Display Audio Plus (compatible with connected navigation)
- SG : Back guide monitor
- X : Power sliding door (passenger side), smart key (gasoline vehicles only)
3. Price revisions and market positions

What is the difference between Voxy and Noah?


Differentiation in terms of design
Noah’s Features
- Two types available: standard and aero
- Targeting a wider customer base
- Family-friendly design
Voxy Features
- Only aero version available
- A sportier and more powerful design
- Main target: young people
Price difference and cost performance
The Noah is priced at around 50,000 to 70,000 yen cheaper than the Voxy , making it a better value for the same equipment. The Noah’s unique appeal is that it comes with an entry-level grade, the “X.”
People who should wait for the new model and people who should choose the current model

10.5-inch Display Audio Plus

- Those who prefer simple grade selection
- I don’t want to get lost in a complicated grade system.
- Aero spec SG and SZ are sufficient
- Those who plan to hold for the long term
- Emphasis on maintaining future value with the latest safety features
Who should choose the current model?
- Cost-conscious
- I want to get a discount on a stock car.
- I want to avoid a price increase of approximately 150,000 to 260,000 yen.
- Those who wanted the standard G or Z grade
- We wanted a higher quality standard specification
- There is resistance to aerodynamic specifications
- Those who value a wide range of color options
- I want the discontinued “Red Mica” and “Steel Blonde Metallic” colors.

Important points to note about the 2025 model
Production and delivery risk
- The introduction of a grade-based allocation system has led to unstable delivery times
- Large disparities depending on region and dealer
- Risk of delivery delays due to a concentration of orders immediately after the announcement
Limited options
- The standard specification is essentially only the “X” grade
- Significant reduction in color variations
- Possibility of discontinuing Noah’s unique interior colors (Fromage, Dark Brown)
