Grand New Avanza 2015-2016
Selain banyaknya faktor seperti budaya, sparepart, dan harga, ada beberapa kelebihan mobil ini yang jelas tidak dimiliki oleh mobil low MPV lain:
1. Ground Clearance
Ground Clearance Mobil Avanza-Xenia jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan mobil Livina (18,5 cm), Ertiga (18,5 cm) dan yang terbaru: Mobil Honda Mobilio (18,9 cm). Ground Clearance ini sangat penting terutama di jalanan ibukota yang pada awal tahun selalu ditakut-takuti oleh ancaman banjir. Suka atau tidak suka, mobil dengan Ground Clearance lebih tinggi dianggap lebih mampu melahap banjir.
Selain banjir, jalanan yang tidak rata seringkali membahayakan bagian bawah mobil. Membawa mobil dengan ground clearance rendah ke daerah pedesaan dengan jalanan yang tidak rata bukanlah jawaban yang bijak, apalagi jalanan tersebut banyak lubangnya. Tentunya sekali lagi ground clearance yang lebih tinggi menjadi pemenangnya.
2. Penggerak Roda Belakang (Rear Wheel Drive/RWD)
Mobil Avanza-Xenia adalah mobil yang bertipe RWD, berbeda dengan pesaing mereka: Livina, Ertiga, Mobilia dan Mazda yang menggunakan penggerak roda depan (Front Wheel Drive/FWD). Perbedaan mendasar adalah pada power yang didapatkan. Coba saja pada diri kita sendiri: jika kita dihadapkan dengan benda berat yang harus dipindahkan, mana yang lebih kita suka: menarik atau mendorong. Prinsip kerja mobil seperti itulah yang dipakai pada mobil RWD (mendorong) dan FWD (menarik).
Konsep yang digunakan oleh Mobil Avanza-Xenia adalah mendorong, dengan kata lain membagi kerja ban, ban bagian depan hanya berfungsi sebagai penentu arah mobil sedangkan ban bagian belakang berfungsi sebagai motor penggerak. Pembagian kerja ini akan mengurangi beban kerja ban mobil. Berbeda dengan mobil low MPV lain yang menggabungkan kerja motor penggerak dan arah pada satu bagian ban bagian depan.
Efeknya adalah: Mobil Avanza-Xenia jauh lebih bertenaga saat melahap tanjakan. Tenaga jauh lebih kuat walau secara langsung berimbas pada konsumsi bensin. Konsumsi bensin paling minimal 1:14 itupun sudah mentok, dengan rata-rata 1:10-1:11.
Bandingkan dengan Suzuki Ertiga dan Livina yang bisa sampai 1:16.
3. Kaki-kaki bagian belakang lebih kuat
Karena adanya penggerak roda bagian belakang, mau tidak mau kaki-kaki roda bagian belakang mobil Avanza harus dibuat lebih kuat. Hal ini berimbas pada kenyamanan. Jika diisi sedikit orang, maka suspensi bagian belakang Mobil Avanza akan terasa keras dan mantul-mantul. Namun, hal ini membuat kaki-kaki mobil Avanza-Xenia jauh lebih awet dibandingkan kaki-kaki mobil MPV lain yang lebih lembut.

With over 120 volcanoes spread out over the whole of Indonesia one of the most popular ones to visit is Mount Sibayak. Located close to the town Berastagi on Sumatra this 2094 meter tall volcano is quite easily accessible. Mount Sibayak has been attracting adventure travellers ever since the Dutch first settled the area in the early 1900s. Although Gunung Sibayak has been quiet for the last century, new steam vents and seismic activity indicate that the volcano is merely taking a break between eruptions.
Climbing Sibayak Vulcano
Hot springs
All this seismic activity has a nice side effect all around the mountain you can find hot water springs (Air Terjun). Some of the locals have turned these into baths where you can enjoy the hot water while at the same time enjoying the beautiful scenery.
How to get up the volcano
To get up the volcano there are two routes to take. The easiest and most popular trail for trekking up Gunung Sibayak starts about 10 minutes northwest of Berastagi just past the Sibayak hotel; anyone in the vicinity can give directions. Past the hotel you can actually find a lot of guide that can take you up the volcano. They can even provide a car for the first part of the hike which is accessible by road. However climbing Sibayak can be done independently. Just keep in mind that you should always team up and never go up alone. Unexpected wheather changes can cause serious problems and has even caused some fatalities in the past. The only other worry is finding the right path. Just before the road ends on the left will find a rather low stretch of bear rock where can see a trail going up. Use this and then just keep following up the trail all the way to the top. This hike should take around 3 hours.
Second option going up
Another option to go up (or down having done the ‘easier’ trail up) is to take transport to the hot springs at Semangat Gunung. Walk in the direction of a big geothermal plant and the trail will start directly on the right side of the plant passing the grave of the local celebrity. Although going up on this side means only a two-hour walk, the trail is extremely steep and has its share of stairs. Many people choose to make a circuit of the trip, beginning in Berastagi and finishing with a dip in the hot springs before catching a ride back to town. Although recommended as a nice trip it is quite difficult to find the trail going down to Semangat Gunung on the top of the volcano. This is because instead of following the obvious road you have to down a steep side with a lot of loose rocks. If the weather is bad or if it is only raining this trail is not recommended.
When to Go
Gunung Sibayak is best enjoyed during Sumatra’s dry season between June and August. If possible, plan your volcano climb for a weekday; Berastagi becomes particularly busy on weekends during the peak season and then so does the volcano.

The atmosphere of green nature from the reflection of the trees from the slope of Rangkap Sibayak Mountain (well known as Sibayak mountain) made the Berastagi city had flooded by tourists. The hill line along with the agricultural field, are always ready to refresh its visitor’s eyes. Berastagi which rich with agro-industries became the appropriate choice for recreation spot other than Toba Lake and Samosir Island, which has become a trademark of North Sumatra.
Berastagi has the strategic location to become the stopping place, not just because several tourist attractions are easy to be accessed from here, but also the hotels are well provided. Hotels can be easily found with varying price, by offering the design typical to the locals. However the visitor still have the choice to choose the hotels and villas that historically were the legacy of colonial period.

lake toba
World famous is the crater Toba Lake in the Batak highlands; approximately five hours drive from Medan. Toba Lake is the largest lake in South East Asia and also one of the most spectacular, surrounded by tall mountains and with the large island of Samosir in the middle. If we descend from the mountain we see the lake glittering in all its beauty. The Dutch writer Rudy Kousbroek even called Toba Lake, ‘the most beautiful place on earth’. Most visitors stay on the peninsula of Tuk Tuk on Samosir, named after the linguist Herman Neubronner van der Tuuk. In general people stay several days on Samosir to discover the island, to visit traditional Batak villages, to swim in the lake and go to the hot springs in Pangururan.
The centerpiece of North Sumatra, Lake Toba’s bracing climate and magnificent panoramas clear the mind and soothe the soul. For decades a magnet from regional and foreign visitors alike, Toba has developed into a full-featured highland resort while retaining the rustic charm and relaxed ambiance that define Toba’s attraction. Formed by a stupendous prehistoric volcanic explosion, the 100 km long lake is the largest in Southeast Asia and one of the deepest and the highest in the world. The drama of that cataclysmic birth persist in 500 meter cliffs dropping into the blue-green waters, surrounded by steep, pine covered sloped, the climate is fresh and pleasant, with just enough rain to support the lush vegetation.
Toba Lake is a 100kms x 30kms volcanic lake in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Toba Lake has become one of the main tourist attractions for a long time in North Sumatra apart from Bukit Lawang and Nias, visited by both domestic and foreign tourist.
The Origin of Toba Lake
It is estimated that Toba Lake was formed during a volcanic eruption about 73.000-75.000 years ago and which was the most recent super volcano eruption. Bill Rose and Craig Chesner from Michigan Technological University estimated that volcanic materials that were spewed out the mountain totaling 2800km3, with 800km3 ignimbrites rock and 2000km3 volcanic ash that is estimated was blown (wind) to the west for 2 weeks. This incident caused mass death (destruction) and to several species also causes extinction. According to some DNA proof, this eruption also shrinks the humankind population to around thousands back then.
After this eruption, a caldera was formed that was filled by water afterwards and now known as Toba Lake. The pressure from the dormant magma, which has not yet erupted, caused Samosir Island to emerge. The region that now known as Samosir Island originally was a peninsula that attached to the Sumatran mainland. In this peninsula the Netherlands built the water canal 10 m width.
For the first time visitors, going through Medan-Parapat route seeing a lake as big as that made Samosir appear like an amazing grand island. However, the island perspective will certainly faded with the increase in Toba plateau visitor, Nias and the other places in the south, through Medan-Berastagi route. Samosir occupied a central geographical position in the Toba plateau region. With the declaration of the Toba Samosir Regency (the inhabitants 302.000 lives, the area with wide of 3.440 km including the lake) it finally ascend from only a shadow into a Regency. Moreover, the width of Samosir Island exceed Singapore (647 km), in fact Toba Lake almost twice bigger than Singapore. The Samosir image in tourism books as the backpackers location must be changed because this historic place must restore the greatness of its past.
