Recently, the Internet exposed a set of new Land Cruiser domestic road test spy photos of the group map, is it going to be domestic? Don't say it's really possible. Since the previous generation of Land Cruiser stopped production in China, it has gone all the way in the second-hand car market, as if it has become a wealth management product, which is inseparable from the particularity of this car. Analysis of the retention rate of domestic second-hand models We are not difficult to find that hardcore off-road vehicles have always been a blue ocean, because such models are too few in the country, can pull out of so many models, a few fingers can be counted, its scarcity leads to its second-hand car retention rate is extremely high. And Toyota Land Cruiser's reputation has been very good, thanks to Toyota's excellent marketing and the good reliability of this car, and the 3.5T turbo power should be able to easily pass the domestic emission regulations, then the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser is likely to be put into production in China.
It is understood that the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser that was exposed this time appeared in the Sichuan area, and the previous generation of domestic Land Cruiser was put into production at FAW Toyota's Sichuan factory, so it is not unusual for the models in the spy photos to come from the Sichuan factory from the geographical location. As early as the beginning of this year, Toyota said that the waiting cycle of the new generation of Land Cruiser is as long as 4 years, so FAW Toyota's Sichuan plant is likely to be domestically produced to solve the problem of its lack of overseas production capacity, and FAW Toyota's Sichuan plant also has this condition. The body of the exposed road test car is camouflaged, and some of its important details are exposed, which can be seen that this is an ordinary version of the model, and the front grille is decorated with horizontal chrome strips. For the appearance of the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser, we are already very familiar with it, it was officially released in June last year, and there are currently existing cars in the domestic parallel import channels, so we must be skeptical about this road test car with camouflage, is it to cover the four big words of "FAW Toyota"?
Previously, the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser in China's patent map has also been exposed, not only the ordinary version but also the GR Sport version of the model. In addition to establishing the protection of the appearance patent, the patent application may also be some preparation for its domestic production. However, with the advent of the electrification era, Toyota may also have its own considerations, after all, there is no future for fuel vehicles, which may be a resistance to its domestic production for the budget-conscious Toyo capitalists.
