This channel is a holy grail of car information for petrolheads ! But enthusiasts know there was a channel called *talking cars* and they are waiting for legends to reunite … and they are still waiting…
Shocking delightful surprise എന്ന് തന്നെ പറയണം. സ്വന്തം കുഞ്ഞുങ്ങളെ നോക്കുന്ന പ്രാധാന്യത്തോടെ വാഹനം സൂക്ഷിച്ചിരുന്ന ഒരു വ്യക്തിയാണ് ഇതിൻ്റെ ആദ്യത്തെ ഉടമ. കുറഞ്ഞത് ഒന്നൊന്നര വർഷം മുമ്പ് വരെയും അദ്ദേഹത്തിൻ്റെ കയ്യിൽ തന്നെയായിരുന്നു ഇത്. Self driven, properly maintained as per schedule, absolutely no rough use. And if I'm not mistaken he is still a Toyota owner. So satisfying to note that this gem has found the perfect garage. Congrats and wish you a very satisfying experience with the car. Very happy for the car as well as for you ❤
I still remember once my uncle who used own a qualis pre face-lift back in 2003 overtaking us and switching the rear wiper on to say "bye bye".. Good old days
10 seater qualis ൽ ശബരിമലക്ക് പോയത് ഓർക്കുന്നു.. പിറകിലെ 4 പേർക്ക് ഇരിക്കാവുന്ന സ്ഥലത്ത് യാത്ര ചെയ്തിട്ടും നല്ല യാത്രാ സുഖം ആയിരുന്നു. ഡ്രൈവറിൻ്റെ ഒപ്പം 2 പേര്, മിഡിൽ ബെഞ്ച് സീറ്റിൽ 4 പേരും😂.. അന്നു പൈസ ലാഭിക്കാൻ ചെയ്തതാണ്... അതുവരെ സുമോ യില് ആയിരുന്നു ശബരിമല യാത്ര. പക്ഷേ 10 പേര് ഇരുന്നിട്ട് പോലും qualis nte comfort വേറെ ലെവൽ ആയിരുന്നു.. it deserves a proper tribute and JD is the most suitable person to offer the tribute... ❤❤
ഓർമ വെച്ച കാലം മുതലേ വീട്ടിൽ ക്വാളിസ് ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു athinu ശേഷം ഇന്നോവ ഇപ്പോൾ ഹൈക്രോസ്സ്.. പക്ഷെ ക്വാളിസ് എപ്പോഴും മനസ്സിൽ ഒരു നൊസ്റ്റാൾജിയ ആണ്.. Fs ഉം Rs ഒറിജിനൽ പച്ച ക്വാളിസും അത് ഒരു വികാരം തന്നെയാണ് ❤️
Thank you for the video. I owned a 2000 Qualis FS, a 2003 Qualis FS facelift, a 2006 Innova G, a 2009 Innova GX, and a 2012 Innova VX before we moved to the United States. I've always looked up to the facelifted Qualis RS, Limited Edition Anniversary, and Myst versions. When I recently visited Kerala, I brought back my Centy Toys Qualis diecast model, which I am now restoring to an RS model.
ശബരിമല യാത്രയെ പറ്റി താങ്കൾ പറഞ്ഞത് വളരെ കറക്റ്റ് ആണ്. ആ റൂട്ടിൽ ആണ് എന്റെ വീട്. വ്യത്യസ്തനാം ഒരു വണ്ടി എല്ലാവരുടെയും ശ്രദ്ധ ആകർഷിച്ചിരുന്നു. ശെരിക്കും ക്വാളിസ് അടക്കി വാണിരുന്നു ആ യാത്രകൾ. ട്രിബ്യൂട്ട് വീഡിയോ നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട്. ഈ വണ്ടി ഇത്രയും കാലം ഈ കണ്ടീഷനിൽ സൂക്ഷിച്ച ഉടമയ്ക്ക് ഇരിക്കട്ടെ ഒരു സല്യൂട്ട്
My family have a 2004 Qualis G4 8 seater. Just renewed rc and fitness. Single owned driven mostly by me and my dad 20 yrs passed fitness till 2029. My entire family grew up in this coveted just 243000 km. Still starts and runs beautiful. And in perfect gun condition.There is nothing like it. Our other cars were used and sold. But Qualis it runs like a family member.
Absolutely loved this tribute video of the Toyota Qualis! JD's presentation was spot on - his knowledge and passion for the car are truly impressive. It's clear he appreciates the timeless functionality and charm of older cars, and his enthusiasm made this video a joy to watch. Despite being discontinued in 2005, Qualis remains beloved for its durability. Kudos to JD for such an engaging and informative tribute! Keep going! ❤
ചെറുപ്പത്തിൽ mamente കല്യാണത്തിന് kayariyatha പണ്ട് തൊട്ടേ qualis ഇഷ്ടമാണ് 5 വയസ്സ് കാണും എനിക്ക് അന്ന് ചെറുപ്പം മുതൽ എനിക്ക് കാർ കളോടെ bayagara ഇഷ്ടമാണ്❤
My father had owned 2-3 qualis and one was rs, the renowned "പച്ച qualis" in my childhood. When I was eighteen years old he again bought a pre facelift gs version . We had it for more than one year. This car helped me to be very confident in driving, because of the driving position it gave a great view outside and it has zero blind spot, although I learned driving much earlier.During the ownership period i understand how Indians fell in love with this vehicle and I am grateful that I had the privilege of owning and using this car for an extensive time❤
It’s an amazing car. I learned to drive in this car, and it was also my first car. It was a Qualis GS 8-Seater in Beige. As you mentioned in the video, the engine note is amazing, and the way it drives is equally impressive. The steering feels feather-light since it's hydraulic. We owned this car from 03-09 and drove almost 2L kms. I’d like to highlight the Toyota service center experience. It was truly exceptional, unlike any other dealership. They thoroughly inspect the car and provide detailed information about both minor and major repairs to be done. Importantly, they only commenced work after obtaining our approval. A big shout-out to JD for consistently delivering well-detailed presentations. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚗👍
Qualis was the choice vehicle of joint families during that time. Oru kalyanathinoo allengil oru family tripinnu ellarum together poyirunna vehicle. Oru 10 perkku sukhamayyi travel cheyyan pattum. Lots of memories travelling in Qualis taxis. Kudos JD to the way this is being maintained, mint condition. Great job.
We used to go to school in a Qualis, private school trip vehicle. The owner upgraded to Qualis from an Ambassador. It was during my KG and Std 1 days and my other friends who would come to school in Trekker and Tata Sumo used to be jealous of us. It was definitely a flex during my childhood. So many memories recollected while I'm watching this today after 20+ years, thank you JayD for coming up with this! ❤
I have a friend who had a Honda city 1.5 Type 2 and a Qualis. After a while they sold the Honda city and retained the Qualis for the longest time I know. This is 20 years back. And I was a hardcore Honda city fan.
Thanks for recommending the qualis to me when I was out hunting for an SUV. Picked it up in 2017, I was the third owner. Nothing comes close in utility, to this car. Fun to drive too
My love with the qualis started from my 8th standard,The first driven MUV in my life,My entire thoughts about a MUV was literally changed when drove a Qualis
This Qualis video reminded me of the Qualis which my Father has bought back in 2002/2003. We had a Bronze Qualis GS C2. I am actually searching for that vehicle, just to see the condition of the vehicle. You gave me the memories, Mr JD..❤❤
This is what makes your posts unique JD. You have a unique skill of bringing gold nuggets out from the clutter and give the shine and value that it deserves. Absolutely stunning, fitting a legendary vehicle once common on Indian roads, purely for its service life and trust it rightfully earned.
I still remember getting into a Qualis for the first time. Got in, looked through the windshield and wowza! The sheer visibility had me going woah! Having driven only modern cars up untill that point, it actually took me a while to get used to the proximity of the front glass, the sheer visibility (തിരുവനന്തപുരം അജന്തയിലെ 70mm സ്ക്രീൻ പോലുണ്ട് എന്നാണ് പറഞ്ഞത്) and the overall command over the road! While the driving dynamics doesn't really align with my preferences, nothing beats a cruise in a Qualis with the windows rolled down on a chilly evening!
I'm so glad you film these in such high quality with so much detail. people definitely will use your videos when evaluating cars they want to purchase. I wonder how much films and TV shows alter the desirability of these vehicles.
Hi Jayd, I saw this beauty in pristine condition at the second hand showroom just one day before you took delivery. I was so keen to know more about it after hearing the engine note, and like you mentioned in the video, even I didn't know this one had a petrol engine. The salesman told me it was already sold. I was wondering who this tasteful gentleman was. The next day seeing his WhatsApp status I was so happy to see who took it, showed it to my brother also. A few weeks later we ended up getting the Altis GL (FL), and I can relate to a lot of things you said. I've always felt like it's the poor man's Crown 😂 (just my humble opinion). And the taillights have pink tinted reverse lights. My dad used to say Qualis had the best driving dynamics of all, no other car would match with it. I've never experienced the car, but my brother and I had two toys Qualis 😂 I had the pre-FL and my brother had the FL in red and champagne. I used to wonder why he got the better looking Qualis, but now I'm realising I had the GS T, like any other kid I've also tried to peel the graphics off.
Like talking cars we got both worlds , like one upload short video with more specific contents another buddy upload entirely historical and indepth video..both flavours are available. Thanks to both of u to keeping us posted and providing these contents..waiting to see u both in a single frame❤
This was a treat to watch and listen! Thank you JD for bringing in this unique style of presentation. The beautiful backdrop just make it a cherry on the cake 😍
dear jd been following your channel since day one, needless to say this is one of the best videos from your side. The passion for maintaining such cars comes out in your speech and presentation , Godspeed. If possible please bring back the talking cars channel .
I had the same exact fantasies about Qualis during my childhood…I used to drool when I see a Qualis on the road especially the black one…I did got a chance to travel in it but never driven one…someday I will get a chance…
My family do had a pre face lift car, Now I realised it's Version as GS-T... It was the real scapegoat of each and every tourers of Family,till 2004 February... It went to Kodaikanal,Ooty, Sabarimala, Madurai and Even once went to Kolkata... That Kolkata trip was it's last long trip inside our family... Then it met with an Accident, nobody got injured because it's parked on a highway side and Gone for Scrap. Then no more Qualis in the house, Had a preface lift Innova... Used for two years and then replaced with a CR-V. Now am in a mood to search for a GS-T super trim...if I get one , surely buy that after disposing my current drive... Thanks for this Episode JD bro.
Ist gen Qualis reminds me about my first veegaland trip with my family and cousins. And RS reminds me my trip to wagamon with friends with 2 case beer .
In 2004 I think, There was a limited edition called 'MYST ' which was available only in black colour (I believe) with golden color side graphics. 🔥 Anyday, Qualis is an emotion ❤ Thankyou JayD annaa for this informative content 🙏🏻👍🏻
I have never come across such a great narration of the complete history of Qualis! Congratulations JD. Being a Qualis owner and enthusiast I have no problem vouching that I have never come across such a great Qualis master like you! I need to watch this episode several times to grasp all of it. The RS model you have is indeed a great car that it is kept almost in showroom condition after some twenty years! I have a similar experience like you that I found a well maintained diesel RS in 2015. I made it better in Autostarke and proudly own it till date. Again Congratulations to you on this fantastic episode!! Love your channel..❤️ PS: You missed one point, the RS Diesel had an optional factory fitted Bullbar option. My RS has it..
Very detailed and in-depth video of petrol qualis rs which is very rare as u mentioned. It was also a dream vehicle when I was a child. I still remember the tv ad which I liked the most, a green qualis rs. Bythe way ,this was a fantastic episode, Great presentation and video quality. My special hugs and thanks to JD for preserving this legend in immaculate condition.♥️♥️♥️♥️.
I really thought the GST was the turbo charged version of the qualis. When I listened heard it wasn't I started praying it should be a turbo charged. Later when I opened the hood of a GST my heart broke 😅 Thanks JayD for bringing back the nostalgia !

When I moved to India from Dubai the first time when I saw Qualis i thought this is the Indianised version of Toyota Land Cruiser. Happy to see people preserve and keep such gem cars in a amazing condition ❤️
JD, do you remember a car called Rhino , which was a copy of qualis. I have travelled in that and was as comfortable as qualis. Wonder why they never made it big?
Hi JayD, the steering wheel wrap you use in most of your classics or modern classics seem to be in old school style. It's never just black but a combination of champagne and black. Kindly mention material and brand if possible and also the reason behind the choice. Also loved the laid back narration style and HD video. It's such a joy to watch in TV and even soothing to listen to, during driving.
Hi JD, You walked through the Awesome history of qualis. When i was younger i also liked this vehicle too much, now also interest on this vehicle remains the same. The best part is i went to the Toyota manufacturing unit in Bidadi for an interview, but my bad luck i was not selected.
Manh what an immaculate condition car!! Kudos!!!❤my uncle had a prefacelift 10 seater qualis prolly that car was my stepping stone to love for toyota suvs❤ very comfy and reliable car.. this is the muv that most of the indians emotionally connected with.. still remembers jd maman's versa story on talking cars😂😂😂
Well It's not even a surprise people buying the Qualis even now, not as an eight seater under 3-4 lakhs but for it's reliability, quality and the undeniable driving experience it gives on the road. I am proud to be the driver of the Aniversary edition Qualis, it has just been 4 years since I am driving and every drive on the same roads is a new experience.@jaydsgarge eager to share the Qualis experience with the Talking cars team😌...it might have been the same you've seen years back 35:03 🙆

It’s an amazing car. I learned to drive in this car, and it was also my first car. It was a Qualis GS 8-Seater in Beige. As you mentioned in the video, the engine note is amazing, and the way it drives is equally impressive. The steering feels feather-light since it's hydraulic. We owned this car from 03-09 and drove almost 2L kms.
I’d like to highlight the Toyota service center experience. It was truly exceptional, unlike any other dealership. They thoroughly inspect the car and provide detailed information about both minor and major repairs to be done. Importantly, they only commenced work after obtaining our approval.
A big shout-out to JD for consistently delivering well-detailed presentations. Keep up the fantastic work! 🚗👍

“Its my pride and joy, my Qualis petrol Rs” what an intro 👌
Eagerly waiting for your Kingsway here.
Kudos Jayd 🔥
Thank you! The Kingsway will be featured soon! ☺️
I really thought the GST was the turbo charged version of the qualis. When I listened heard it wasn't I started praying it should be a turbo charged. Later when I opened the hood of a GST my heart broke 😅
Thanks JayD for bringing back the nostalgia !
Avesham😍

“Very nice video, JD. I was waiting for this video. In my childhood, I used to see a variant of the Qualis named Myst in my locality.”
Absolutely in love with Qualis. I have a 2001 model. I want to change the AC to centralised.
That can be done by any good AC guy
When I moved to India from Dubai the first time when I saw Qualis i thought this is the Indianised version of Toyota Land Cruiser. Happy to see people preserve and keep such gem cars in a amazing condition ❤️
☺️☺️
JD, do you remember a car called Rhino , which was a copy of qualis. I have travelled in that and was as comfortable as qualis. Wonder why they never made it big?
The doctor near my house used to have a Qualis which is still his daily driver. Great video ❤
☺️
Learned driving on a pre face lift Qualis... Golden memories ❤️
Festival edition Graphics was my fav & i loved pre- facelift looks than facelift
Hi JayD, the steering wheel wrap you use in most of your classics or modern classics seem to be in old school style. It's never just black but a combination of champagne and black. Kindly mention material and brand if possible and also the reason behind the choice.
Also loved the laid back narration style and HD video. It's such a joy to watch in TV and even soothing to listen to, during driving.
Jd is a gem in terms of car enthusiastic world
Hi JD,
You walked through the Awesome history of qualis. When i was younger i also liked this vehicle too much, now also interest on this vehicle remains the same.
The best part is i went to the Toyota manufacturing unit in Bidadi for an interview, but my bad luck i was not selected.
Regular viewer of Jd's Garrage and Content with cars.. Waiting for your Restart of talking cars...
മുക്കാൽ മണിക്കൂർ പോയതറിഞ്ഞില്ല. സൂപ്പർ👌 അന്ന് വണ്ടിഎടുക്കാത്തതിൻ്റെ സങ്കടം ഇന്നും ഉണ്ടെന്നു തോന്നുന്നു😊
even me used 2 qualis
it was awsm and i am very happy with that
Diddly squat farm keychain!
Second time noticing Jayd using Clarkson's farm merch. Nice!
😇😇😇
It was a wonderful episode. Qualis is my childhood favorite vehicle, especially RS Variant. 😇
Manh what an immaculate condition car!! Kudos!!!❤my uncle had a prefacelift 10 seater qualis prolly that car was my stepping stone to love for toyota suvs❤ very comfy and reliable car.. this is the muv that most of the indians emotionally connected with.. still remembers jd maman's versa story on talking cars😂😂😂
Watching your video with complete detailing about the car and its history is always a joy and simply connecting to us 😍
Your presentation ❤❤
15 year ago njanum shabarimalayil poyarnu on a pre face lift qualis.... thank you so much for this video ❤
Thanks JD, the much awaited release!!
☺️
Well It's not even a surprise people buying the Qualis even now, not as an eight seater under 3-4 lakhs but for it's reliability, quality and the undeniable driving experience it gives on the road. I am proud to be the driver of the Aniversary edition Qualis, it has just been 4 years since I am driving and every drive on the same roads is a new experience.@jaydsgarge eager to share the Qualis experience with the Talking cars team😌...it might have been the same you've seen years back 35:03 🙆
The one I used to see was Kl07 AC reg. what about yours?
Quality video JD ❤❤
😀😊Pavangalude LC 70 series! Lovely narration tempting us to own one.
Only relief is watching your videos bro🥹
Very nice presentation. Much appreciated.One more limited edition variant was available during that time Qualis Myst..
the land cruiser of India ..... one of my favorite cars
44 minutes of quality content❤
Qualis the legend ❤
My favorite Toyota qualis rs i❤❤❤❤❤
Nice video ❤ . I'm a fan of the pre facelift version. Those racing inspired decals were unique. Yellow foglamps were also seen in santro those days.
