About the year before, there were rumors that "Crown Cross" would be launched, and Hetai Automobile also announced that it was expected to import the "cross-border flagship Crown", in the end, "this cross-border" is not "other cross-border"?
●The Japanese biography was published in May
●Switch to GA-K platform
●Equipped with oil and electricity power
Since the annual briefing of Hetai, it can be seen that the original manufacturer said that the Crown that will be imported is a "new cross-border flagship", about the identity of the new car, some people may think of the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, crowned with the name of "crown" Crown Kluger and Crown Vellfire two travel models, but the current two cars are "Chinese special" (respectively, the Chinese version of Highlander and Wallfire), first of all, the latter with a relatively low probability. The reason is nothing more than that the Alphard, a twin car, is already on sale in Taiwan.
What about the former, crown Kluger/Highlander? Although we dare not directly deny it, it is speculated from the map released by Hetai that the new work should not be an SUV, and it is more likely to be a sedan model that adds cross-border elements.
Coincidentally, Japan also reported that the current 15th generation of Crown is expected to be officially discontinued in March, and the new generation version can be seen as soon as May, in addition, the local rumors that the overhaul Ofc will add cross-border elements, and abandon the current rear-drive GA-L platform, instead of using the front-drive GA-K platform as the basic architecture, and will only provide oil and electric power and four-wheel drive configuration.
Judging from a variety of news, it seems that the Crown that Thai plans to introduce at the end of this year is more similar to the "route" of the Japanese standard overhaul of Crown.
