Thanks to Toyota's "two-vehicle strategy" in China, Toyota's domestic market share has been significantly increased in recent years.
Based on this, Toyota plans to build a FAW Toyota version of "Xena" after the launch of the GAC Toyota Xena model, but considering that GAC Toyota has taken the lead in introducing this model and named it "Xena", it is predicted that as a sister model of GAC Toyota Xena, it will be named "GRANVIA".
Although the current information on this new car is very limited, it is only a news reveal that FAW Toyota Factory is in the trial installation stage of the new MPV model, and from the shape of the car, it can be roughly seen that it is similar to GAC Toyota's Syna, so it is concluded that the car may be a new FAW Toyota version of "Xena".
Considering the relationship between GAC Toyota Highlander and FAW Toyota Lufang, some media predict that FAW Toyota's version of "Xena" will also continue the exterior design of the American version of Sienna XSE, which is actually the sports version of Xena.
At the same time, FAW Toyota's version of "Xena" will also continue the route of crown land release, with the "crown" logo to achieve high-end, and form a differentiated competition with GAC Toyota Syna. According to the roadside agency, the new car or named "Crown Wildo".
Considering that the car is a sister model of GAC Toyota Syna, its interior will naturally continue the design style of GAC Toyota Syna.
It adopts a relatively simple design at home, and is equipped with a full LCD dashboard with a floating LCD display in the central control area.
If the new car really wants to be named after the crown, its steering wheel will naturally add the logo of the crown, making it more high-end texture.
As for power, it will be equipped with a hybrid system of 2.5-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine + electric motor that is the same as GAC Toyota Syna.
In terms of transmission, it is matched by a planetary geared E-CVT gearbox with a maximum power of up to 183 kW. Considering that the new car uses a hybrid system, I believe that the new car will also bring good fuel economy, and it is relatively competitive to put it in the MPV.
If the new car really wants to be crowned, it means that the new car will be differentiated from toyota syna in the future, one mainly home and one main business, so the new car competitors will include Buick GL8, GAC Trumpchi M8 and Honda Ai lishen and so on.

In fact, when Toyota Syna did not enter the domestic market, the import model has a strong market competitiveness, and with the arrival of domestic production, it will naturally further expand the cost performance of the car in the domestic MPV market.
However, it was adopted by the manufacturer to "hunger marketing" mark-up model, so that it could not achieve a large release in the domestic MPV market, and finally Xena ranked 51st in the MPV market in 2021 with a total sales volume of 935 units. However, with the return of the price to the rationality of the Sena, the sales of new cars have increased in January, second only to the Buick GL8.
It is worth mentioning that as FAW Toyota continues to enrich the "Crown" series and makes new cars more competitive in the name of "Crown", it means that the real Crown is still a high-profile model.
According to previous news, the 15th generation of crowns has been exposed to be expected to return to the domestic market, but at present, the new car will be based on domestic or import news is still a mystery.
Considering the current Toyota "Crown" domestic production to bring fruitful performance, and the 15th generation of crowns before the emergence of domestic production, it means that the localization of the 15th generation of crowns is not impossible, after all, in the context of the current high-end purchase, the crown can only reflect the advantages of new cars in domestic production, with reference to the current crown land sales of about 6,000 units, it is still better than many models of the same level.
On the contrary, the current 15th generation crown is still a rear-drive model, the new car to achieve domestic production must let Toyota re-launch a separate production line, coupled with the current Toyota has announced that the 15th generation of crown is about to stop production, so the future crown is domestic or imported model, can only be left to everyone to guess.
Netizen 1: Can the title of crown be applied casually?
Netizen 2: It is said that there is no crown after 12 generations! It turned out to be a crown everywhere after 12 generations!
Netizen 3: Change the car logo, maybe you can reasonably increase the price! This trick ah~ ah~
Netizen 4: SIENNA and crown, two tigers fighting, there will be a wound!
Netizen 5: Verlu? Please don't ruin the classics! In contrast, I am more concerned about the new crown~
Netizen 6: Is it possible that the new crown in China is the "Asian Dragon Max"?
Netizen 7: Upstairs brother, if this is the case, the crown is completely ruined!
Netizen 8: Guess first, FAW Toyota's new medium and large car - "King of Asia"!
