When it comes to the Toyota brand, everyone is no stranger, as the world's highest sales brand, Toyota has always given the impression of being approachable, very in line with the positioning of family cars, in fact, Toyota's models are rich, sedans, SUVs, MPVs and other models are available, even the top luxury cars have, Toyota Century is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Toyota Motors Father developed luxury cars, is Toyota's top car, known as "Japanese Rolls-Royce". Recently, some car lovers met a Toyota Century in Shanghai, which should be regarded as the first car in China.
The appearance of Toyota Century is very domineering, full of aura, large-size grille, filled with honeycomb structure inside, creating a good sense of luxury, the unique Phoenix logo is more exquisite, split LED headlights, composed of four groups of light sources, according to the matrix distribution, the lower envelope is specially blackened, the entire front face is full of aggression, and the visual impact is very strong.
The side lines of the body are tough, the raised waistline extends from the front to the rear, in one go, and the D-pillar is tilted forward to shape the body more dynamic. The rear design is full, the rear window glass is slightly tilted forward, which looks more three-dimensional at a glance, the design of the taillights is the same as the headlights, and there is a harmonious beauty, and the rear surround is slightly raised, creating a sense of heaviness that a top luxury car should have. The exterior design of the Toyota Century is stable and vigorous, and the details are in place, which is in line with the positioning of the top luxury car, but it always looks like "Nanli Nanqi", and it always feels like there is a shadow of Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
Sitting in the car, the design layout of the Toyota Century is mainly retro, the style is graceful and elegant, and at the same time low-key, there is a good sense of luxury, the full LCD instrument panel, the suspended central control screen, and the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, which is very technological, and the electronic gear handle is a little small, which is used on the luxury body, which is a bit small. For me, the interior of the Toyota Century is decent, there is not much attraction, it is said that the interior is Toyota's short board, and it is true, the top luxury car of the Toyota Century is no exception, the entire interior is more practical, without too many features, compared with the Cullinan, the gap is large, and even inferior to hundreds of thousands of new energy vehicles in China.
The body size of Toyota Century is 5205*1990*1805mm, wheelbase 2950mm, as the ceiling in Toyota, the interior space of the Century is wide, using a four-seat layout, whether it is the front or rear row, there is a good space, and there is no need to worry about ride comfort. Toyota Century is very careful in the rear configuration, the seats can be adjusted 77 degrees, with the electric leg drag, you can reach lying flat, each seat is equipped with an independent display screen and small table, the performance of the rear row is not much worse than Cullinan.
The Toyota Century's power is a highlight, and its powertrain is a plug-in hybrid system, 35L V6 engine, matched with E-CVT gearbox, maximum horsepower 412 horsepower, maximum power 303 kilowatts, pure electric range of only 69 kilometers, although this car is equipped with four-wheel drive system and rear-wheel steering, but there is no air suspension, such a luxurious car has no air suspension, Toyota is still unique, Toyota still can't change the problem of "thrifty housekeeping". This power system, coupled with a green card, always feels uncomfortable, and the aura of the whole vehicle is much weaker. At present, the price of Toyota Century is about 1.98 million, the landing price is nearly 4 million, and the price increase is as high as 1.7 million.
It is believed that the first Toyota Century in China settled in Shanghai, which means that Toyota Century is recognized by domestic consumers, and Toyota's layout in high-end brands has taken another step forward, and I believe that more people will choose Toyota Century in the future, and it also indicates that the Chinese people's demand for top luxury cars is very strong. However, it seems that Toyota Century still has some room for upgrading in appearance, interior and configuration, and wants to compete with strong opponents such as Bentayga and Cullinan, Toyota Century's strength is not enough, and the price increase of 1.7 million is a bit outrageous, Toyota is still playing the routine of raising the price of the car, the original 1.98 million car is almost 4 million, take this money to buy a Yangwang U8, an ideal L9, plus a BYD seal Isn't it fragrant? Sure enough, we don't understand the world of "rich people".
