Toyota Elfa, as a best-selling MPV model in Asia, is very popular in Japan, Hong Kong and Chinese mainland, and is often subject to price increases in the domestic market. Although the model is still best-selling, according to the update period of Toyota model products, the model is nearing replacement, and the release date of the new car has been finalized.

A few days ago, foreign media exposed information about Toyota's new Elfa car, and the new Toyota Elfa brochure appeared in an automobile magazine, and the new car is scheduled to be released in April 2022.

According to the magazine exposed by foreign media, the new Toyota Elfa continues the radical design style, compared with the current armored front face, the change is younger and sporting, and it is not like the commercial MPV model at all.

After all, as a high-end luxury MPV model, Toyota Elfa has always maintained a full body, making the space ample. And with the upgrading and upgrading of models, the degree of luxury is becoming more and more obvious. In terms of positioning, Toyota has always described it as "elegant and exquisite design".

However, from this exposure of the magazine, the new car may be a GR performance version of Elfa, for GR is actually a Toyota brand of high-performance positioning, more inclined to sports design direction. Toyota Elfa in the magazine also has this style, and the emergence of new models in the future may not be so radical. As the new car will be based on Toyota's new TNGA platform, the new car will also have a significant change. On power, it is expected to carry the latest 2.5L hybrid assembly and 2.4T in-line four-cylinder turbocharged engine. And provide a four-wheel drive version.

Toyota Elfa has been replaced only three times since the first generation model came out in 2002. the earliest first generation model only entered Hong Kong, China, until the second generation model was introduced into China. After that, it continued to sell well in China, and the third-generation models still maintained the behavior of "price increase" until now.

In addition, foreign media reported that after the launch of the new Toyota Elfa, brother Wilfa models may be integrated, because the current sales ratio is 8:2, Wilfa sales are much lower than Elfa, but this has not been confirmed by Toyota.

In any case, Toyota Elfa has always been an online celebrity in the Chinese market, its high online popularity is mainly due to its long-term sharp price increases and sales, and the terminal price is stronger because of limited production capacity and quotas. With the arrival of new models, the price increase will inevitably continue.
