In that year, Toyota Crown and Ruizhi successively left the Chinese market, although it is a foregone conclusion, but for a considerable part of the domestic small partners is indeed a pity, to know that these two cars in the country is a very important historical position! Later, we learned that the crown was only discontinued in China, and in the Japanese market, the car is still on sale, and it has adopted a more sporty layout! And this imported version has also accepted reservations in China! And just recently, Xiaobian got news from overseas that a "crown" built for the Chinese market has been unveiled, and the new car is expected to return to the Chinese market!
The picture above is the exposed future Chinese version of the "crown"! This is also the current overseas products there are still very obvious differences, mainly or the new car using the latest design concept, we take this picture as an example! From a distance, the headlights will give people a feeling of split headlights, but in fact, this is Toyota's use of a new design concept, the entire light group is not separated, but the headlights and grille and front surround using a stepped shape. The structure of the headlights is similar to that of the Asian dragon, but the effect of lighting up will give people a very deep feeling. The middle net moves down so that it runs through the front enclosure. Brings a new visual experience.
From the side, this Chinese version of the crown is closer to the coupe, adding a richer waistline shape, and the rear of the car presents a hatchback design, which is also relatively rare in the field of Toyota! Along the waistline we reached the rear of the car, the taillights returned to tradition, the double-layer taillights were designed with a sunken light source, and like the side, the entire tail also adopted a very rich line shape, so the bilateral exhaust was also particularly regular.
In the interior, it has basically become a fact that the Chinese version of the exclusive style will be adopted, which is a very obvious contrast with the previous crown expected Japanese version of the crown. But inside the car we can still see traditional elements, such as the three-frame steering wheel. The dashboard has also been completely replaced by a full LCD structure, and the Japanese version of the dual central control screen has been replaced by the current single-screen shape, but the sense of technology has not been reduced too much. In addition, we also noticed that for the first time, the center console adopted a double-layer design, which coincided with its exterior design.
Finally, let's look at the powertrain, this Chinese version of the crown will be based on Toyota's new TNGA-K platform, will be equipped with 2.5L oil-electric hybrid and 2.4T turbocharged engine, respectively, matched with E-CVT and 8AT gearbox. More importantly, the new car uses a front-drive platform. Although the price has not been announced, from the positioning of this car alone, it is basically the level of the Asian dragon, if that is the case, is it necessary to see the Asian dragon? What do you think about this!
