Toyota's flagship sedan aimed at dignitaries, including the Emperor of Japan, may be about to spawn an SUV counterpart.
The Century is a big, boxy sedan that has spawned just three generations over a history dating back more than half a century. Limited to a handful of select countries, the Century is used primarily by dignitaries, including the Emperor of Japan. Its hallmarks include a powerful engine, acres of room, and the ultimate in Toyota build quality.
A teaser photo released by Toyota on Wednesday shows a vehicle with a similar boxy design to the Century, though there's clearly a tailgate present. A white gloved hand reaching to open the rear door also suggests the vehicle is aimed at buyers with a chauffeur on hand.for the introduction of Toyota's redesigned Alphard and Vellfire minivans, Toyota Chief Branding Officer Simon Humphries hinted that a new version of the Century was planned for a reveal later in 2023.
Rumors point to a Century SUV being developed on either Toyota's TNGA-K platform found in vehicles like the Grand Highlander and related Lexus TX, or the automaker's premium TNGA-L platform found in vehicles like the Toyota Mirai and Lexus LS. Those same rumors also point to the vehicle being exported to a much wider array of markets, including potentially the U.S.. The latest generation is longer than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and comes powered exclusively by a 5.
