We know that the birth of Toyota's "Asian Dragon" is to make up for the lack of crown and Ruizhi, and as this car is officially on the right track in China, the US version of the Asian Dragon also announced that it will officially stop production next year. Recently, Xiaobian also got the real car map of the last version of "Asian Dragon". The new car has obvious changes in details than before, and the configuration has also been comprehensively upgraded, and what surprises us more is that the exclusive TRD version of the overseas version has also announced the official discontinuation of production. After the suspension of production, the Asian Dragon will become an exclusive model in the Chinese market.
The changes in the front face of this last version of the "Asian Dragon" are still very obvious, the size of the entire grille is larger, and the silver horizontal bar trim also has a kind of amplitude design. On both sides of the grille is full of arrow feelings! Although it is only a regular version, it is actually more direct than the TRD version of the sporty sense, the headlights of the new car have also changed, and the two sides are equipped with LED headlight groups, and its shape is very similar to the Lexus ES model design, so it is even more with the lexus visual sense! From the side, this effect is more obvious, especially the design of the entire double waist line with bright multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, including the door frame trim has also been blackened. The overall visual effect is obviously stronger than the current model!
On the rear, a hidden exhaust layout is used throughout the rear, and some models will also provide a bilateral double-out exhaust layout. The structure of the tail light is more complex, and a variety of LED light sources are used to surround it, so the effect after lighting is more dreamy! And the entire rear surround adopts an embedded shape design, which presents a fully wrapped style for the whole car, so it is more imposing than ever!
Inside, the new car is still equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, and equipped with a mechanical pointer + liquid crystal display combination instrument, and a floating LCD central control screen is provided above the center console. In addition, the new car comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.5+ kit, which covers lane tracking assistance, blind spot monitoring, dynamic radar cruise control and more. At the same time, some models have also upgraded the 14-speaker advanced JBL Audio system, wireless charging, variable suspension system and other configurations. Compared with the current model, the configuration is a comprehensive improvement.
In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter hybrid engine, and the drivetrain is matched with an 8-speed manual and an E-CVT transmission. It is worth mentioning that the new car also cancels the AWD four-wheel drive version and the TRD high-performance sports version model. That is to say, only this regular version of the model will be retained in the future, of course, this is also the last replacement of the Asian Dragon in the North American market! Since then, this car will officially become an exclusive model in the Chinese market! What do you think about this car!
