Recently, we have obtained the latest news of Toyota's new generation of Crown sedan models, which are scheduled to be officially released in the local market this year and are expected to go on sale before the end of this year.
At the same time, the new car is also expected to be domestically produced in 2023 under the "North and South Toyota", when the price of the new car will also decline, the expected starting price is 280,000 yuan, and the main competitors of the same level will also point to the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4L, as well as its own high-end brand Lexus ES models.
According to overseas media, Toyota's new generation of Crown models will cancel the original V6 naturally aspirated large-displacement engine and replace it with a hybrid system composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor, with a transmission system matching the E-CVT transmission and equipped with an E-Four electronically controlled four-wheel drive system. In addition, the new car is also expected to launch a 2.4T model for consumers to choose, or will be a GR high-performance sports model, and equipped with the sporty dynamic torque vectoring AWD system equipped with the RAV4 model.
Here we have to throw out a question, that is, the driving form of this car, the former crown is a real longitudinal rear-drive model, whether it is a 2.5 V6 or 2.0T model, it is a rear-drive car.
And the new car uses the 2.5L hybrid form, now all Toyota 2.5L hybrid models are horizontal front drive or four-wheel drive form, if the crown also uses such a form, then what is the difference between it and the Asian Dragon and Camry?
The former "big super super" and "VIP" just disappeared?
As can be seen from the previously exposed rendering pictures, Toyota's new generation of crown front face is equipped with a large-size black dot matrix grille, and the two sides are also equipped with a relatively narrow and long dot matrix LED headlight group. At the same time, the new car will be built on the Toyota TNGA-K platform, and the size will also be greatly improved, and it is expected to be closer to the Lexus ES model.
Crown car for the Chinese market, is of great significance, as the earliest introduction of a batch of large cars, in the hearts of the older generation crown and A6 has an absolute status, but Toyota in order to produce those low-cost, hot-selling models, so that Ruizhi and Crown these slightly niche models discontinued production. (Except for crowns currently on sale)
Now that the Crown sedan is about to re-emerge, will you pay for the faith?
