A Auto Industry It is full of models that come and go from the market without leaving much of a lasting impression.
However, there are those rare vehicles that remain in the popular imagination, being revered even many years after their production has ended.
A clear example of this resistance to time is the Toyota Fielder, the iconic station wagon that, even after 16 years out of dealerships, still holds a special place in the hearts of Brazilian drivers.

Derived from a classic and still trusted in the market
The Toyota Fielder was launched as an extension of the ninth-generation Corolla, a car widely recognized for its mechanical reliability and ease of maintenance.
According to experts in the used car market, such as Motor1 portal, this direct connection with the Corolla is one of the main reasons for the high acceptance of the station wagon today.
Manufactured between 2004 and 2008 at the Indaiatuba plant in São Paulo, the Fielder inherited the sedan's engine durability and wide range of spare parts.
Even with many units already having driven hundreds of thousands of kilometers, the uncomplicated maintenance and low cost make the model a favorite among those looking for a reliable and economical vehicle in the R$30 range.
Impressive dimensions and capacity
At 4,45 meters long, 1,70 meters wide, 1,53 meters high and with a 2,60 meter wheelbase, the Toyota Fielder is comparable in size to many modern compact SUVs.
However, it has the advantage in terms of interior space and trunk space, which offers 411 liters of capacity up to the edge of the rear seatbacks.
This feature makes it ideal for families and travel, and is also a popular choice for ride-hailing drivers.
Versatile engine and efficient performance of the Toyota Fielder
During its production, the Fielder had a single engine option: the 1.8 16V naturally aspirated engine, which initially delivered 132 hp and 17,3 kgfm of torque with gasoline.
From 2007 onwards, the introduction of flex technology increased power to 136 hp and 17,5 kgfm when fueled with ethanol.
According to official data, the manual versions could reach 189 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 12,4 seconds, while the automatic versions reached 186 km/h and covered the same distance in 12,7 seconds.
Average consumption was also impressive for the time: up to 13,3 km/l on the highway with gasoline.
Standard equipment and evolution over the years
At the beginning of its production, the Fielder was sold in a single version, equipped with items such as front airbags, ABS brakes, air conditioning and power steering.
However, the lack of features such as autopilot and on-board computer was noticed by the most demanding consumers.
It was only in 2007 that Toyota introduced new versions, such as the SE-G and XEi, which added items such as digital air conditioning, a dashboard with Optitron lighting and cruise control.
That same year, the special S series brought a sporty look, but with aesthetic details that divided opinions.
Strengths and challenges of the model
Among the most praised points of the Toyota Fielder are its mechanical reliability, generous interior space and spacious trunk.
However, there are some criticisms, such as the fragility of the plastic finish on the fender and the difficulty in finding specific finishing pieces.
Values in the Fipe Table from Toyota Fielder
According to a survey carried out in December 2024, Toyota Fielder prices in the Fipe Table vary according to the year and version:
- 2005 models can be found for R$31.714 (manual) to R$35.115 (automatic).
- The 2008 versions, considered the most complete, cost up to R$42.685.
These values reinforce the perception that the Fielder is a reasonable investment for those looking for a reliable vehicle with good value for money.
A classic that spans generations
The Toyota Fielder has proven to be more than just a utility vehicle. Its design, reliability and versatility continue to attract admirers, even in a market where SUVs dominate sales.
Will we ever see Toyota betting on station wagons again in Brazil, or is this body style doomed to oblivion?
The Fielder is one of the best value for money cars ever seen, the best Toyota chassis is unbeatable…it's pure pleasure.
I've had one since 2010, I don't sell it, I don't take care of it (lol), I just use it. Spectacular car, the new ones come and go and it stays, it's the Pretinha of the family, that's what we call it.
