The all-new Ruizhi is about to be reborn, with the cancellation of the rear wheel drive, the resurrection of the X standard, and the 6-cylinder engine
Recently, Toyota's activity has been relatively high, Toyota's senior management continues to pour cold water on new energy, while constantly launching a new energy model, of course, at the same time to launch more traditional fuel vehicles, especially some classic models that have been discontinued for many years are also resuming production, such as domineering, such as Crown, and Japan is resuming production of Ruizhi (Toyota "MARK X" is also the domestic "Ruizhi"), there is also hope to re-enter China.
Ruizhi used to have a high reputation in China, with the advantages of V6 engine + rear-drive performance car to gain the reputation of civilian sports cars, and later because of the high and low price, sales shrinked, and gradually faded out of sight. But for the fans of Ruizhi, many people have not changed the car until now, hoping that the new Ruizhi can be resurrected, and now it seems that the once slim hope is rekindled.
However, it should be pointed out that the resumption of production in Japan is no longer the same as the once domestically produced Ruizhi, not only the appearance is evolving, but even the proud rear driving force has also changed, and even some bloodline genes from Mazda have been injected.
The details are as follows:
From the appearance of the observation, the new generation of Ruizhi maintains the classic design of Ruizhi, even if it has not been seen for many years, even if the details of the appearance have changed, the first glance of the new car, it is still quickly reminiscent of Ruizhi. The front face of the new car is fierce, three-dimensional and complex, using a very complex shape and emotional expression, the headlights and the grille adopt an integrated design, objectively forming a huge black hole between the hood and the front surround, which greatly enhances the aggressiveness of the new car. The headlights are still the classic eagle-eye shape, and the lightning-type paragraph light source is introduced inside, which is blazing and not easy to mess with at first glance. The design of the front wall uses many complex shapes and elements, like the various creatures that grow in the rainforest, which makes people impress at a glance. What is especially worthy of praise is that the new X standard rushed out of the rivers and lakes, with its own ferocious aura.
The side of the new generation of Ruizhi is still familiar shape, familiar style, you can still feel the perfect body of the golden ratio, the overall shape highlights the tough dynamic, a sharp waist line runs from the front to the rear, and the addition of narrow wheel arches and sports wheels makes the new Ruizhi's sports expression more simple and rough.
The design of the rear of the car also pays tribute to the classics, with a slightly forward-leaning tail profile, even if it is parked quietly, it still brings a sense of dynamism to start at any time, the two-tone headlights are very recognizable, and the two-sided four-out exhaust pipes can still bring a strong visual impact although they are known to be fictitious.
In terms of interior, the new generation of Ruizhi still maintains the classic style, and the introduction of a large-size central control screen reflects the progress of modern technology, while also incorporating more intelligent functions. However, the all-new Ruizhi still tenaciously expresses the classic elements of fuel vehicles, such as the mechanical instrument panel makes people feel more intimate, the mechanical gear knob enhances the impulse to control, and more physical buttons are retained, making the control more familiar.
The new car canceled the classic V6-cylinder engine and replaced it with an in-line 6-cylinder engine jointly developed with Mazda. Of course, there are surprises and regrets, and it is a pity that the new car will cancel the once classic rear-wheel drive, and can be offered in front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, but it should not disappoint in terms of performance.
At present, the new Ruizhi is fully resuming production in Japan, and it may not be too long for the official domestic production, so you can look forward to it together.
