TA-ACM15G
Listed 2004. The TA prefix (our explanation, not MLIT’s) means certified to Japan’s 2000 emissions rules, 25% below their limits. Check TA-ACM15G against ULEZ and clean air zones.

Each row is one version as MLIT lists it. A version can appear twice when MLIT gave figures on two tests that year. Low-emission stars and trim names aren’t shown. MLIT gives fuel economy in km/L; the mpg figures are our conversion to UK gallons. Japanese tests are gentler than real UK driving, so expect less.
Check an ACM15G before you buy
Make sure the car is what the advert says: the chassis number on the V5C should start ACM15-, and the engine and gearbox should match one of the versions above. Our free check reads the UK MOT history and compares it with the chassis code.

Questions
What engine does the ACM15G have?
MLIT lists the Toyota Gaia ACM15G with 1AZ 1,998 cc petrol.
What fuel economy does the ACM15G get?
Officially between 12.4 and 13.2 km/L (about 35–37 mpg), depending on the version, on Japan’s own tests. Real-world figures are usually lower, especially against the older 10-15 mode test.
How heavy is the ACM15G?
Between 1,490 and 1,520 kg kerb weight, depending on the version.
Is TA-ACM15G the same as ACM15G?
Yes. TA-ACM15G is the full model type: the letters before the hyphen are Japan’s emissions code, which changed as the rules were tightened, and ACM15G is the model code. The chassis number starts with ACM15-.
About these figures
The model types, engine codes, capacities, gearboxes, drive, weights, seats and km/L figures are copied from MLIT’s yearly lists of cars on sale in Japan each March, so “listed” years are list years, not exact production dates. The English model names, mpg conversions, emissions code explanations and chassis number matching are ours. Lists before 2013 were printed as PDFs that we read by machine; where an older list gives an engine code that doesn’t match its capacity, we’ve used the figure the same model type has in other years. Check anything that matters against the car’s own papers. Spotted a mistake? Email [email protected]. All Toyota model codes.
