At the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show, Toyota's flagship SUV, the Century SUV, made a shocking appearance, which sparked heated discussions. Some call it Toyota's version of the "Cullinan" because of its similarities to the Cullinan's positioning and exterior design in the luxury market. While there is some truth to this, the price of the Century SUV is far from that of the Cullinan. The starting price of the Century SUV is 25 million yen (about 1.24 million yuan), while the starting price of the Cullinan is 6.91 million yuan, which is enough to buy the equivalent of 5.6 Century SUVs.
Therefore, in terms of price, the real competitors of the Century SUV should be models such as the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7.
The car was sold in limited quantities in the Japanese market with a monthly quota of only 30 units, and a special edition designed for the Japanese imperial family was also introduced. Let's explore the charm of this flagship SUV together.
First of all, from the appearance point of view, the front face design of the Century SUV is solemn, the trim in the middle grille is like the armor of the ancient samurai linked together, and the Phoenix logo is conspicuous in the center.
The double-deck headlights on both sides are split design, and the four independent light clusters are uniquely recognizable. The front bumper has a three-section design, giving it a retro feel. In addition to the regular model, there will also be a GR version, which will be infused with more blacked-out elements to give it a sporty look.
On the side of the body, the D-pillar appears very stout and adopts a similar design approach to the Cullinan, but the Century SUV does not have a side-by-side door design, which looks relatively ordinary. The rim shape adopts a dense spoke style, and the phoenix logo in the center of the rim is painted in silver on a black background, like the Cullinan, no matter how the wheel turns, the logo is always upright, the principle of this effect is actually very simple, because the logo has an independent bearing, will not rotate synchronously with the wheel, like a hammer, its center of gravity is always kept at the lowest point, so as to achieve the effect of the logo always upright.
In terms of dimensions, the Century SUV has a length, width and height of 5,205 mm, 1,990 mm and 1,805 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,950 mm, a body length of more than 5 meters2 and a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, making it classified as a large SUV.
At the rear, the upper and lower double-layer taillights echo the headlights, and the rear surround is convex outwards to better protect the body.
The rear bumper also integrates a width indicator light. Overall, the rear design is simple yet sophisticated. If the rear bumper can also be integrated with a total of two exhaust pipes, the sporty feeling of the rear will be more prominent.
In terms of power, the Century SUV follows the powertrain of the Lexus TX 550h+ plug-in hybrid model, equipped with a PHEV system consisting of a 3.5-liter V6 engine, an electric motor and a battery, with a combined system power of 412 hp (303 kW) and an all-electric range of 69 kilometers (operating conditions unknown).
It is also equipped with the E-Four electric all-wheel drive system, which has a combined WLTC fuel consumption of 14.2 l/100 km. Toyota Century SUV, the benchmark model may be Mercedes-Benz GLS, which is very reasonable in terms of price. And the car is based on the TNGA architecture, which is similar to the Lexus TX.
The interior adopts an LCD instrument cluster, a floating central control screen and a short electronic gear lever, while retaining a large number of physical buttons, which is both technological and practical. The rear seats have a two-seat layout and are equipped with two large entertainment screens, as well as control screens, which are fully functional. The trunk volume is 340 liters, and there is also a specially designed car refrigerator inside, which is very practical. What do you think of the Toyota Century SUV?
