However, this news has not yet been officially confirmed, in this regard, Volkswagen Kanche asked relevant people for verification, and the reply was that Crown Car returned as an imported car, and the 16th generation of Crown will be introduced, not the 15th generation, and will eventually be sold under the FAW Toyota system.
The news of the 16th generation of crowns has been exposed since last year, and a set of renderings of Toyota's new generation (16th generation) crown models has been learned from foreign media, and the new car is expected to be officially unveiled in 2023 and is expected to be listed for sale within this year. As soon as this news was announced, many Crown fans were excited, and even at that time, some people speculated that Toyota's new generation of Crowns might return to the domestic market.
From the appearance point of view, the new car will maintain the positioning of the movement direction, and there is no intention of returning to the business positioning. The front face is equipped with a large mesh air intake grille and a multi-banner air intake grille, and the headlight groups on both sides have also adopted a new shape, which looks like a penetrating effect.
The length, width and height of the new car are 4900/1850/1450mm, and the side is a slipback design shape, and the visual effect is suspended. The rear of the car is expected to use a bilateral single-out exhaust layout, and the thick metal trim above the tailgate connects the LED taillights on both sides, enhancing the lateral visual effect of the rear.
At present, the design of the interior part of the new car has not yet been announced, according to foreign media, the interior of the new car will continue the design language of the overseas version of the crown. The layout of the center console area of the overseas version of the crown is clear and concise, and the floating LCD display enhances the sense of technology.
Unlike the current fifteenth generation of crowns, the sixteenth generation of crowns will use the TNGA-K platform, that is, the platform with Camry, Asia Dragon and Lexus ES, which will greatly reduce its cost. At the same time, the rear-drive layout that has been used for more than 60 years will be abandoned and replaced by a front-drive.
In terms of power, it will be equipped with a 2.4T turbocharged engine with the same code name as the Lexus NX, which has a maximum power of 279 horsepower and a maximum torque of 430 Nm, and the transmission matches the 8-speed manual transmission. It will also be equipped with Toyota's latest 2.5L engine + electric motor hybrid system, and even fuel cell technology from the MIRAI platform.
