Toyota's "Century" domestic price was exposed, starting at 1.98 million, and Maybach was confused

I have to admit that at present, the most influential automobile brand in the world is none other than "Toyota", and even Ford, which has a history of 100 years, actually has to stand aside! In fact, this influence is multi-dimensional, such as in the innovation ability of models, the speed of model replacement, the grasp of the market, and the profit margin! Toyota can give full play to multiple dimensions to the extreme, looking at the world, it is absolutely unprecedented, but as for whether there is a future or not, this can only be tested by time! After talking about influence, let's lead to today's protagonist, that is, the new generation of ultra-luxury SUV "Toyota Shiji" officially announced at the Guangzhou Auto Show! In fact, this car is the "century" at the previous Jingdong Auto Show. Because the trademark in China has been preemptively registered, it can only be called "Shiji". This car is known as Toyota's version of the "Cullinan"! But what the editor wants to say is that some media are just concerned about obscenity!

Indeed, from the point of view of design style, this car has a very obvious shadow of "Cullinan", I don't know if this is called borrowing or what it is called, but if you know the history of Toyota, you will definitely know that the early Toyota actually started by "imitation", so this car is just a return to the old business! The media compared the aura of this car to the ceiling in the same class. If you have to compare it like this, then it has no opponent, Maybach, Rolls-Royce also have to stand aside, think of Toyota can "float", but "floating" is gone, this is unexpected by many small partners! The whole front of the new car adopts a stepped layout, and the headlights adopt a split design, in fact, it is not new from the design alone, so how would you describe it, domineering or artistic? The plastic feeling of the front surround is still relatively strong, and the OEM should make some changes to see how the Maybach is designed, after all, the atmosphere is baked!1

Coming to the side, the waistline is retained, but it is also pointed, and the line sinks at the tail, forming a semi-enveloping design, and the narrow wheels on both sides can highlight the sense of sportiness, which does not match the awe-inspiring body. But this is also the style of Japanese cars, this kind of large car, I personally feel that only LX600 can show the so-called aura, but this "Shiji" is almost meaningless. And the door opening method is also a traditional door opening method, not the signature Rolls-Royce door opening method. Therefore, the soul is gone, so don't stick it on the "Cullinan"! There are not too many special elements at the rear of the car, and it is completely a copy of the front of the car, and the only thing that can be called a highlight is the front and rear phoenix logo. But have you ever seen an OEM win the market with a LOGO? Anyway, Xiaohua has never seen it.

The interior of 1.98 million has indeed refreshed Xiaohua's perception of luxury cars! If it is placed on Rolls-Royce, it is a combination of art and craftsmanship, and if it is placed on Maybach, it is called craftsmanship. But what can you imagine when you get inside this car? It's an enlarged version of a Lexus. In it, you can feel the "industrial style" and also feel the "home style", but the nouns such as art and luxury have nothing to do with this car. As for the specific design, as well as the information on the configuration, I will not introduce it more. After all, the price of 1.98 million is completely the ceiling, but this "Shiji" is not at all!

Bringing out its powertrain, this car is equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 plug-in hybrid system, of which the system has a combined maximum horsepower of 412 horsepower, matched with an E-CVT gearbox, and is equipped with an E-Four four-wheel drive system, with a combined fuel consumption of 14.2L/100km under WLTC working conditions and a pure electric range of 69 kilometers. The new car is also equipped with rear-wheel steering. In fact, from the information revealed before, the price of this car is about 1.5 million, but this is a naked car price, and Porsche needs to be optional, after the most basic option, the price comes directly to 1.98 million!
