Toyota's Century luxury SUV project is one of the most anticipated releases from the brand in the coming years. The project is expected to compete with the new Land Cruiser Prado in the market. Despite there being little information about the Century luxury SUV, independent designers are already trying to predict what the car would look like. One of such designers is Rostislav Prokop, an American car artist who works for the local edition of HotCars. He has presented his version of the Toyota Century SUV's appearance....
Prokop calls the novelty nothing more than a “Japanese Bentley Bentayga”.
The SUV looks like an ultra-premium car with a brutal and strict appearance, as well as elements typical of luxury cars.
At the front, the car borrows the iconic image of the Century sedan of the same name, which has been produced in Japan since 1967.
The front features a wide chrome grille and many horizontal slats.
In the middle of the grille is a corporate logo, and on its sides are large headlights.
The stern looks much more modern than the front with a voluminous bumper and two exhaust outlets, parted on the sides, as well as darkened LED lights, above which the word “Century” is applied.
Toyota plans to design a new SUV based on the North American version of the Highlander crossover.
However, the Century luxury SUV will not have a third row of seats, and the wheelbase will be 3000 mm, unlike the 2788 mm wheelbase of the Highlander.
The length of the machine should be equal to 5200 mm, width - 1950 mm, and height - 1750 mm.
There is little information about the technical part of the car.
The eponymous 4-door is equipped with a 5-liter V8 with a capacity of 381 horsepower, but it is unlikely that the SUV will get it.
The anticipated release date for the Century luxury SUV is in the fall of 2023.
Toyota plans to sell the car not only in Japan but also in other major markets.
