Say hi to Toyota new luxurious SUV, the Century

ABU DHABI: The Toyota Century luxury sedan has been on sale in Japan since 1967. Now, after 56 years, Toyota has added to its flagship range a second-century model in the form of an SUV to keep up with the trend. The Century SUV will be sold alongside the sedan in the Japanese market.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • On which platform is the new Century SUV based?

    The new Century SUV variant is based on Toyota's TNGA platform.
  • What is the production limit for the all-new Century SUV variant?

    The production of the all-new Century SUV variant is limited to just 30 units each month.
  • The new Century SUV variant has been built on Toyota's TNGA platform. It is equipped with a 3.5 V6 PHEV powertrain, offering the flexibility to seamlessly transition the car between hybrid mode for long drives and all-electric urban commuting. A Dynamic Rear Steering system has also been incorporated into the vehicle for increased high-speed stability and low-speed manoeuvrability.

    When compared with the current sedan variant, the vehicle is five inches shorter. Toyota claims that this new Century model is the quietest in its class, and its production is limited to just 30 units each month. It drives more effortlessly than all the other models in its lineup. Customers can select either sliding or standard doors, and there's even a GRMN variant for those who want a more sporty experience.

    The new Century SUV is characterized by a subdued and boxy design and is as big as many full-size SUVs. The rear seats come with various reclining options and features like a driving mode to smooth braking jolts and an entertainment system. The "luggage compartment separate structure" increases privacy and reduces noise by putting laminated pieces of glass between the luggage and the passenger compartment. 

    The Toyota Century SUV will only be available in Japan at select dealers. This means it won't be coming to the UAE anytime soon.
