If you have to wait four years to buy a car, are you still willing to buy it? Recently, Toyota's Japanese official website officially announced that users of the new Rand Cool Luze ordered in Japan after January 19 will have to wait about four years before delivery.

According to Toyota's Japanese website, Toyota said: "the final delivery time for the new Toyota Landku Luze, which ends on January 19, 2022, may take about four years." Toyota also said that it will do its best to shorten delivery time for vehicle buyers, while Toyota also stressed that the future delivery time will also change according to the actual situation.

It is understood that the new Lande Cool Luze new car was officially launched in June 2021, the price in the Japanese market is between 510-8 million yen (equivalent to about 284000-445000 RMB). In fact, a month after the launch of the car, the official announced that it would take more than a year to wait for delivery due to a shortage of spare parts and chips. now the situation seems to be even worse. Toyota announced that it would have to wait another four years. This also made many users feel that "when the cauliflower is cold", many netizens joked: "four years later, the car era, dare not think"; "this is the longest delivery in history."

The new Toyota Lande Cool Luze is based on the TNGA architecture. In terms of appearance, the new Toyota Lande Cool Luze appearance and interior decoration adopts a new design, so it is more young and fashionable. Specifically, the style of the intake grille, headlights and front bars on the front face of the car has become the latest design style of the Toyota family, but the overall shape is still square. In terms of body size, there is no big difference between the new car and the current model, but the parameters of the conventional version and the GR Sport version are slightly different. The conventional version is 4950/1945/1890mm, the wheelbase is 2850mm, while the GR Sport version is 4965/1945/1990mm, and the wheelbase is the same as the conventional version, which is 2850mm.

In the interior part, compared with the current model, the new Toyota Rand Cool Luze has a great upgrade in the interior part, including the steering wheel style, the functional area layout of the center console, the UI design of the display screen and the matching of interior materials.

In terms of power, the new Toyota Landcool Luze will be equipped with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbocharged engine code-named V35A-FTS, with a power of 415hp, a torque of 650Nm, a 10-gear automatic transmission and an acceleration of 0.100km / h in 6.7s.

Lande Cool Luze, as the "trump card" in Toyota's off-road field, is also the flagship SUV of domestic Toyota. In 2005, the car was listed in China. The car was assembled by SKD and became the highest-end model produced by Toyota in China. However, due to the relatively high price of the car, limited domestic sales, and due to policy factors, the East Factory of FAW Toyota Changchun plant was closed in 2016. This also means that Lande Cool Luze has officially announced that it will stop production in China, and in the next few years, the Lande Cool Luze sold in China are all parallel imported models, but from July 1, 2020, the country has entered the era of national six emission standards. Light vehicles with five emission standards in producing countries are prohibited, while imported light vehicles should also meet the national six emission standards. However, the problems troubling parallel imported car enterprises have not been solved so far, resulting in the customs clearance of six models in parallel importing countries can not be sold. There is no definite news on whether the new Rand Cool Luze will be introduced to domestic sales, but it may be introduced in the future if the new model can meet the domestic emission demand.

Finally, returning to the topic that it will take four years for the delivery of the new Rand Cool to be delivered, Toyota has not given a specific reason so far, and the auto industry is concerned that the long delivery time may be affected by the shortage of spare parts and chips. In fact, also affected by the supply of spare parts and chips, Toyota's production at many factories in Japan has also been affected to a certain extent. Three days ago, Japan's Toyota announced that it would suspend production of 11 production lines at eight factories in Japan, including the Aichi Wonmachi plant, in February this year, also because of a global shortage of semiconductors. As a result, Toyota expects new car production at home and abroad to fall by about 150000 vehicles in February than planned, with global production of about 700000 vehicles. Toyota expects new car production this fiscal year (to March 2022) to be lower than the original forecast of about 9 million vehicles.
