Toyota launches interactive Test Drive App at dealerships

Toyota has launched an interactive Test Drive App, which aims to standardize the test drive process across all dealerships in India. During a test drive, the app provides information about the vehicle to customers.

The Test Drive App is connected to the vehicle through an On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) device. It connects to the car's infotainment system via Bluetooth to play audio information. The app is currently offered in English and Hindi but can be configured for regional languages as well. The iOS-based app is designed for iPads. Once the engine is started, the app triggers features and voice-over explanations depending on the customer's driving response.

According to Toyota, customers have given a positive feedback for the Test Drive App during the pilot phase. The app is available at select dealerships in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. Toyota plans to extend this service to more cities.
