Before Toyota officially stopped production of the Asian Dragon in the United States, the Japanese automaker will provide a new Nightshade Edition model for the 2022 Asian Dragon and release an official picture of the model. The move is also Toyota's last small change to the model before it ends production operations at its plant in Kentucky. This also means that the special edition model may become the best song of the Toyota Asian Dragon in the United States.
2022 Toyota Asian Dragon Shadow Edition
It is reported that the new Toyota Asian Dragon Shadow Edition model will be available in three colors: midnight black, pearl white and metallic silver. However, compared with the ordinary Asian Dragon model, the Shadow Edition model has added black elements in many places on the body. Examples include black mirror covers, black rear spoilers, black door handles, black shark fin antennas, and black nameplates. At the same time, this version will also use 19-inch black alloy wheels, which looks sporty.
In terms of interior, the openable sliding sunroof is also the exclusive feature of this Shadow Edition model, the eight-speaker sound system is also standard in this model, and the 1200-watt, 14-speaker premium JBL sound system is standard for limited edition and travel models. At the same time, the shadow version of the SOFTEX imitation leather seat has also been completely black.
2022 Toyota Asian Dragon
The reason why Toyota decided to discontinue the Asian Dragon model in the United States was mainly related to its dismal sales. According to public information, in 2019, The Asian Dragon sold 27,767 vehicles in the United States, down 17.3% from 2018. In 2020, due to the impact of the epidemic, the annual sales volume was only 18,421 vehicles, which was in stark contrast to the sales of 100,000 models such as the Camry and RAV4.
