Toyota unveils its new saloon car, the ‘century’ at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017, and slates its official release for mid 2018. The third generation of the automobile carries on the tradition of craftsmanship and high-quality Monozukuri (all-encompassing manufacturing) while realizing high-demand environmental performance, and a design layout that pursues absolute passenger comfort. the interior and exterior design injects a new look into the ‘century’ in-line with its heritage, while featuring advanced equipment and comfort amenities only suitable for a luxury limousine.
The exterior of the Toyota ‘century’ is highlighted by traditional Japanese design elements used throughout the car including the grille and black trim on the rear combination lamps. the interior features a raised ‘ceiling2’ design and exclusive fabric while the adjustable rear seats (with massage function), are upgraded with a power leg rest for first-class comfort and a sophisticated riding experience. the Japanes-automaker’s saloon is powered by a 5.0 liter V8 hybrid system to deliver first class fuel efficiency. in addition, the wheelbase has lengthened, the height difference between the scuff plate and floor has decreased, and the height of the door opening has increased, all of which are refinements improving the rear seat riding experience.
