– Will Debut Globally On Sep sixth
Luxury SUV rage has engulfed many of the automotive manufacturers the world over. Legacy automobile manufacturers have jumped within the pond too – Lamborghini has Urus, Ferrari has Purosangue, Bentley Bentayga, Aston Martin DBX, Porsche has Cayenne and even Rolls-Royce has Cullinan. Toyota has entered the chat with Century SUV.
Toyota Century SUV teased – The most luxurious Toyota ever!
Century is one in every of Toyota’s manufacturers that embodies the head of what this Japanese behemoth of an organization can obtain in luxurious area. If you are unfamiliar with Century model, there is a good purpose for that because it at all times has been JDM unique. Now for the primary time, Toyota is making Century model world with its first ultra-luxury SUV.
Just lately confirmed, Toyota will unveil Century SUV on sixth September. Once debuted, launch might observe quickly and there’s a chance of this hitting our shores as nicely. We say this as a result of Toyota is making a behavior of launching chauffeur-driven autos in India quickly after their world debut.
We noticed this development with Toyota Vellfire and Lexus LM. If so, this would be the first Century car to go on sale in India. In Toyota’s grand scheme of issues, Century model slots above every little thing else by way of luxurious and opulence. Even above Toyota’s premium model Lexus.
Century model first debuted in 1967. Since then, it has been a sedan-only bespoke lineup for JDM market. With Century SUV going world, Toyota is extremely more likely to depart the bespoke issue behind. Rumour mill suggests Century SUV will get identical underpinnings as Toyota Grand Highlander. This is a monocoque platform and would possibly sport hybrid powertrains from Grand Highlander too.
No extra bespoke V12 – Say whats up to hybrids
If that is true, we’re an enormous SUV with round 5.3 meters in size and a couple of meters in width. Wheelbase will simply be better than 3 meters. Exterior design will probably be stately and chic, taking design cues from Century sedan. We’re not so positive about Century’s Gold Phoenix emblem on world fashions, which represents Imperial House of Japan.
On the within, we will anticipate Century SUV to function 2-row and 3-row seating structure choices. Exquisite supplies and expert Takumi craftsmanship will probably be a standout attribute for Century SUV. We hope the collapsible entrance passenger seat backrest from Century sedan makes it right here as nicely.
Powertrains with Century SUV won’t be very bespoke, similar to its platform. Possibility of a bespoke V12 gasoline engine may be very skinny. Hybrid powertrains shared with Toyota Grand Highlander might be a extra smart choice. If launched in India, Toyota Century SUV will lock horns with Mercedes-Benz GLS, BMW XM, Land Rover Range Rover and the likes.
