This car is the 15th-generation Crown RS released in Japan. There is still a clear difference between the new car and the last version that was previously discontinued in China. First of all, we can clearly feel from RS that the new car will pay more attention to sportsmanship. The grille of the new car runs completely through with the front bracket.
Crown RS This is the official modified version to take the sporty route. The front face of the front of the car adopts a new generation of design language, large size black intake air mesh with the original factory modification before the encirclement, personally feel that this set of front face design is very similar to the ground to wrap the sky, the first few years to see a little difficult to accept, now it looks like a gradually better situation, especially the front face is very aggressive.
On the side, the waistline starts from the front headlights, runs through the entire side, and runs through the upper edge of the taillights, the entire span is more slender, even if the size of the new car is not exposed, but it feels like it is completely comparable to the C-class car! And to highlight its sportiness.
The new car also comes standard with 19-inch fork-type wheels, including the entire chassis has become even more low! The rear of the car, the logo of the new car is printed on both sides of the tail box. The small double-layer rear wing, although it does not play a substantial role, but the visual effect is still quite good! The tail lights and headlights also echo each other,
Nowadays, the new version of the Crown RS's technology interior atmosphere is also improving, the countertop directly adopts a triple screen design, the full LCD dashboard is matched with a double-layer central control screen, one screen is mainly used for navigation entertainment, and the other screen highlights the vehicle information function and air conditioning control interface. Since the first batch of models is a Japanese version, exclusively for the Japanese market, it is seen that the car adopts a right-hand drive steering wheel design, and if it is introduced into the domestic market for sale in the future, it should also create a central version.
This new version of the Crown RS power configuration is a bit non-mainstream, not much like the style of the Toyota sedan, because of the rare 2.0T turbo engine, the fuel engine alone can achieve a maximum output of 245 horsepower, which is much stronger than the Toyota 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, in addition to the Toyota Crown RS also matches the motor hybrid system. It is worth mentioning that this time, the original hybrid architecture of the family car was abandoned, and the E-CVT gearbox was not used, but a more aggressive 8at gearbox.
Since it is a model that takes a sports route, the power layout is also more sporty, and the standard version of the Crown RS provides a front-facing rear drive layout, and the high-speed cornering state will be more comfortable, in addition to the high-performance four-wheel drive version, the driving control texture will be much stronger than the front-drive car.
