The Toyota Mark X ZiO (Japanese: トヨタ・マークXジオ, Hepburn: Toyota Māku X Jio) is a mid-size MPV manufactured by Toyota from 2007 to 2013. Replacing the Mark II Blit station wagon, it was sold exclusively in Japan and was exclusive to Toyopet Store dealerships, sold alongside the Mark X sedan from September 2007. Despite sharing the nameplate, the front-wheel-drive Mark X ZiO (with optional four-wheel drive) shares few features with the rear-wheel-drive Mark X sedan. The ZiO chassis is derived from the New MC platform which is the basis of the E150 series Auris/Blade, XA30 series RAV4, T270 series Avensis and the XW30 series Prius. The front suspension is MacPherson strut, with double wishbone in the rear. The name "ZiO" (pronounced "geo") is an acronym to suggest its spaciousness and cargo capacity, meaning "Zones in One".
