The new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser was officially released last year and has been officially launched in many overseas countries. At the end of last year, a new generation of Land Cruiser has also appeared in Tianjin Port, but because the new generation of models has no official channels for formal import and is not domestically produced, it is still unknown whether it can achieve parallel import through the National VI 3C certification.
Parallel import of the national SIX 3C certification has not yet resulted, but recently there is a new generation of Land Cruiser camouflage test car in the country appeared, although the real car has no logo, the body is pasted with camouflage stickers, but the shape of the net and headlights is too recognizable, and the shape of the wheel hub is also consistent with the overseas version.
Why is the new generation of Land cruiser test cars available in China? According to past experience, the appearance of this camouflage test vehicle may be one to prepare for domestic production, and the other may be to verify the adaptability of the domestic road environment and prepare for official imports.
According to the information previously released by Toyota, the current new generation of Land Cruiser's order-to-pick cycle is at least one year, so is it possible to put into production in China in order to increase production capacity? What's more, Land Cruiser also has a very high degree of recognition in China
In October 2003, the LC100 was officially launched in FAW Toyota, and by 2007, LC200 was domestically produced, and then officially stopped production in 2016, although the sales volume of Land Cruiser was not very high, but its profit margin was very high. For example, after the arrival of the new generation of Land Cruiser, although it is still unknown whether it can pass the National VI 3C certification, dealers have released information on the price of more than one million.
Nowadays, the new generation of Land cruiser has been equipped with a new 3.5T engine, compared with the old displacement down, and the recent listing of the tank 500 equipped with a 3.0T engine has not been pre-cooled because of the large displacement engine, which is estimated to promote Toyota's confidence in introducing a new generation of land cruiser. Therefore, the possibility of a new generation of Land Cruiser restarting domestic production is still very large.
