The slender body design creates a nice sense of luxury, and the side fenders also have fine-grained decorative strips, and the shape of the blackened multi-spoke wheels is also visually appealing.

In addition to this, there is also a comfort mode in the rear area, a control screen integrated in the center armrest of the rear seats, and more.
In terms of intelligent interaction, the new car will use Toyota's intelligent interconnection system, which supports voice recognition, Apple Carplay and Baidu Carlife, and can also be upgraded online via OTA.
