Toyota's "Crown Sedan" was officially announced in China, and it is on the same platform as LS, and hydrogen energy has become a highlight
At this year's Guangzhou Auto Show, Toyota can be described as a "big kill", a number of high-profile models have been officially announced, the popularity of the auto show once reached its peak, and in addition to these series that we are familiar with, there is also a car that has attracted much attention, this car also has the title of "crown", but it is not the crown on the current market, because this car is built on the same platform as Lexus's LS, it is the "crown Sedan" in the picture. For this car, Toyota can be said to have pinned too many things, in addition to sharing the competitive pressure of its own products after the future listing, the debut of the new hydrogen battery version also marks that Toyota has officially entered a new era, so this car has actually been out of the category of a car, and the whole meaning can be imagined.
Different from the classic version of the crown and the current crown, this car adopts a sharper ridge layout from beginning to end, and the front of the car not only ensures a sense of power but also brings a better sense of layering! For the first time, the front of the car adopts a strengthened version of the spindle design, which is more powerful than the Lexus. The adjusted headlights are also sharp and fit perfectly into the front of the car. The traditional middle mesh position has been moved downward, and the composition has also been replaced with a multi-spoke vertical design, with a single-layer front surround that is placed up and down, and the whole sense of movement has been extended.
Because the car on display uses carbon black elements, the specific design of the front of the car is not obvious. On the side, although it is a front-wheel drive model, it retains the classic golden ratio, and the body has a slightly fastback style, which is also just right in the creation of the entire sporty element. The new multi-fork wheels are classic. The design of the rear also echoes the flat design of the front of the car, using a through-type multi-layer taillight design, and you can clearly see that the rear windshield area is very large, which brings a stronger sense of sportiness!
Compared with the explosion of the appearance is different, the interior is more traditional, almost the same as the crossover version of the official announcement in China, of course, to say the biggest change, it must be the color, and the crown in the picture, in the position of the center console adopts a multi-layer structure, in addition to the addition of imitation wood decoration also has a little more retro elements. For the control of the whole detail, Toyota's designers are still very in place.
Judging from the picture above, the entire seat of the new car is still very stocky, and the preliminary prediction is that it should bring a good feeling in the entire comfort, of course, the specific will not be known until after the test drive.
Power is the biggest selling point of this car, in addition to the hybrid system we are familiar with by the 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + dual motor + ternary lithium battery pack, this car will also use hydrogen battery for the first time to determine the equipped with three high-pressure gas tanks, the maximum cruising range of 820 kilometers, energy replenishment time is 5 minutes. Compared with the traditional pure electric system, the advantages of the hydrogen version are more obvious, and it is expected to become a future trend, so this time the crown will also become the first car company to "eat crabs" in mass production. I don't know what you guys think about this car.
