Today's middle and high-end models, many car brands are opening two routes, one is personalization and performance, so that traditional fuel vehicles have more "taste", and the other is new energy, intelligent, and fast integration with the future.
Previously, the cookie-cutter concept of luxury had begun to become obsolete, and even for Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi, the popularity of traditional luxury began to fade. At present, the BBA has also begun to take the performance route. The Toyota Crown, as Toyota's high-end product, also has a new idea.
Recently, Toyota's 16th generation Crown model has a new news release, this new car is expected to be released in May this year, unlike the traditional Crown sedan, this new car belongs to the four-door coupe. It will be introduced into China as soon as next year, and will be domestically produced by FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota respectively.
Previously, the pictures of the new car were reported by many online media. From the appearance of the design, this new car is indeed different from the Toyota Crown that we were familiar with before, and the new car breaks the design style of the traditional high-end sedan. The front face adopts a large-size hexagonal dot matrix grille, the crown logo is marked in the middle, and the two sides are equipped with slender headlights, and some netizens joked: "In order to become younger, the crown also cut its own double eyelids."
The side is depicted in a sharp line style, and silver chrome trims are added to the lower part of the body. The rear part adopts the "big slip" necessary for coupes. However, the style of the taillights does not use a slender shape, compared with the traditional high-end sedan, the new crown tail design is more three-dimensional, especially in the lower side of the model, the same chrome trim, with the chic large wheels to match, sporty and advanced. Even more stylish than the BMW 3 Series. Netizens also left a message saying: "This car seems to be a model designed by new car-making forces."
Neither the interior nor the size of the new car has been exposed, but judging from the positioning of the new car, the size of this model may be comparable to that of the Lexus ES. At present, the Lexus ES for sale has a length, width and height of 4975/1866/1447mm and a wheelbase of 2870mm. It can be said that this size is one circle larger than the BMW 3 Series, so it is foreseeable that the new Toyota Crown will be larger than the size of the BMW 3 Series.
Of course, playing sports can not just fight the shape, the connotation is the last word, but also the focus of fans' attention. Some people like the BMW 3 Series, that is, they like the sports soul of others. This time, Toyota is not soft, the new car is expected to be equipped with the same 2.4T engine as the Lexus NX, matching the 8-speed manual transmission, the maximum power can reach 205 kilowatts, the maximum torque of 430 Nm, and the whole series is equipped with four-wheel drive as standard. Compared with the BMW 2.0T four-wheel drive version of the top model, the 330Li xDrive M Sport Night Set has a maximum power of 190 kW and a maximum torque of 400 Nm. From the perspective of performance, the Toyota Crown has obvious advantages. Moreover, this model will also launch a 2.5L hybrid version.
Ghost Bucket Car View: It is worth the fans waiting for, from the current news, this new car four-door coupe will be introduced to the domestic market, however, according to the current equipment, the price is not expected to be too low. But it will not be as wayward as Lexus, after all, if the crown wants to revive, if it is blindly tall, it is likely to be "high and low", it is difficult to activate market enthusiasm, the price is too high, fans are likely to change hands to choose BBA, after all, they are old luxury, have a lizi, have face. In this regard, how do fans think, leave a message.
