AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/25 Report--

A few days ago, "Automotive Industry concern" obtained the official forecast chart of the new Toyota century, which appeared at the launch of the new generation Elfa / Wilfa. Officials said that in addition to the new Toyota Century, it will also bring a "new member" this year, which is expected to be the previously hot Toyota Century SUV.

Toyota's top luxury car is not the crown or Lexus, but the Toyota century. This car is Toyota's spiritual totem, is also Toyota's most luxurious model in history, is the exclusive car of the Japanese royal family, and is known as the "Rolls-Royce of Japan". It should be noted that the car is not sold in China and is rarer than Rolls-Royce.

The code name of the original Toyota century is Toyota Century VG20, the car's biggest competitor is not Rolls-Royce, but the president of Nissan. The president of Nissan has a longer history than the Toyota century. If the Toyota century is "Japan's Rolls-Royce", then Nissan president can definitely be regarded as "Japan's Bentley". However, the Toyota century is still upgrading.

Why did Toyota build the Rolls-Royce of Japan? Toyota Century was born in 1967. Although the price of the top luxury car developed to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Toyota founder Kiichiro Toyoda's father, Toyoda Saji, does not mean that it can be bought, because its production is very low, it will be given priority to the Japanese royal family. Therefore, it is not excessive for Toyota Century to be called "the Rolls-Royce of Japan".

However, this time our focus is not on Toyota Century, but on Toyota Century SUV. Yes, as the "Rolls-Royce of Japan", Toyota Century will launch the SUV version because of the growing demand for SUV models. Combined with known information, Toyota Century SUV will be an ultra-luxury flagship SUV model, but like Toyota Century, it may only be supplied in Japan, targeting government officials and so on. It is understood that Toyota Century SUV will be produced in Japan's Tahara factory, which produces Lexus models, so Toyota Century SUV positioning, workmanship and luxury texture will reach a new level.

Toyota Century launched the SUV version, which reminds us of the various versions of the models derived from the Crown brand some time ago. However, according to multimedia, Century SUV is not a derivative of Century. It is a new ultra-luxury flagship SUV with completely different platforms and powertrains. On the power side, Century SUV will be equipped with Toyota's latest hybrid system, which will be equipped with a hybrid system of 2.4T turbocharged engine and dual motor units with a maximum power of more than 340hp. Japanese media reported that Century SUV will not only be aimed at Japan, but a model for global sales, which means it may enter the Chinese market, but the price cannot be cheap. It is understood that Toyota century's SUV version will have more amazing strength, its body length or width will reach 5 meters 2 meters, the price level may be 3 times more expensive than Toyota Lande Cool Luze, if the follow-up can enter the domestic market, its price increase space is much larger than we imagined.

Century SUV will reach the new height of Japanese SUV in terms of comfort and luxury. At present, the most expensive SUV sold in Japan is Lexus LX600 EXECUTIVE, which costs 18 million yen, or about 899000 yuan, while Toyota Century is Toyota's flagship car, starting at 20 million yen, or 999000 yuan. As a result, Toyota Century SUV sells for at least 20 million yen, but it is nearly half cheaper than Rolls-Royce Curinan. Japanese media speculated that Century SUV would beat Curinan with product technology.
