What body type will the 16th generation of the new Crown series appear in? It has been a hotly debated topic in the car world this year. Until July 15 this year, the new generation of Crown not only finally unveiled the mystery, but also shocked the eyes of the global car industry and fans, because at this Crown world premiere conference hosted by the president Akio Toyoda. , showed 4 new Crown derivative models in one breath, including "Crossover crossover hatchback running brigade", "Sport SUV crossover leisure travel", "Sedan four-door RV" and "Estate station wagon" with SUV style, Contrary to the previous image of Crown as a traditional four-door sedan model, it can be called the biggest change in the nearly 70-year history of the car series; not only that, but also announced that the Crown car series will become a global strategic model, with more than 40 sales in the world. Regional countries, and no longer a Japanese market-specific model.
Among the four members of the Crown family, the Crossover will be the first model to be sold around the world. It is expected to be officially released in Japan around the fall of 2022. As for the other three models, they are still prototypes, but they will It will be launched in mass production in the next one and a half years. Domestic Hetai Motors also announced at the beginning of this year that it will introduce the Crown cross-border flagship in the fourth quarter of this year, so it can be confirmed that this Crossover cross-border hatchback running brigade will be introduced. At present, the price of Crown Crossover in Japan starts from 4.35 million yen (about NT$950,000), and reaches 6.4 million yen (about NT$1.4 million) for the top-spec model. At that time, the domestic sales price is estimated to fall at least. Starting at more than 1.5 million yuan. As for the other three models such as Sport SUV, Sedan and Estate station wagon, whether additional domestic sales will be introduced in the future, I believe that with the ability of Hetai Automobile, the opportunity of introduction is quite high.
The Crown series, which has evolved into the new 16th-generation model, is the most famous and proud flagship RV of the Toyota brand. The first-generation model was born in 1955 and occupies a pivotal position in the history of Japanese car industry and automobile development. Especially in the past 60 years, it has been loved by buyers such as local business owners and senior executives in Japan. In the Taiwan market, in 1958, Hetai Trading (predecessor of Hetai Automobile) introduced a small amount of the first-generation Crown as a taxi, and then successively introduced the third-generation Crown in 1968, and the fourth-generation Crown in 1971. However, in 1974, the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Republic of China announced a complete ban on the import of Japanese cars, so the introduction and sales of the 4th-generation Crown were also stopped under the influence. Now, Hetai Automobile will restart the introduction plan of Crown in the fourth quarter of 2022, allowing the Crown series to return to the Taiwan auto market after 48 years of violation.
This first wave of announcements is about the Crossover model. This model completely breaks away from the traditional four-door sedan sedan type, but combines sedan and crossover elements, showing the trend of the past few years. Cross-border cross-body running style. Its body length/width/height dimensions are 4930/1840/1540mm, and its wheelbase is 2850mm. Compared with the previous model's 4910/1800/1455mm and 2920mm wheelbase, the length of the car is slightly increased by 20mm, and the width of the car is also enlarged by 40mm. The important thing is that the height of the car has been increased by 85mm, which has achieved the shape and positioning of the CUV cross-border SUV. In addition, the ground clearance has also increased by 10mm to 145mm, and it is matched with a Coupe-Like-like oblique flow. Line shape, as well as the black scratch-resistant trim around the whole car, and show the dynamic style of the cross-border hatchback running brigade. However, because it is a fastback-like sloping back design, it will make people mistakenly think that the luggage compartment lid is connected to the rear gear, but in fact it maintains the opening method of the traditional RV and has a kick-sensing electric luggage compartment. Lid function and a luggage compartment volume of 450 liters.
The 16th-generation facelifted Crown Crossover also has a major change, that is, unlike the 15th-generation model, which was built on the GA-L longitudinal-engine rear-drive platform under the TNGA family, it was the first time to use a transverse-engine front-drive platform. And with the design of the rear axle electric motor, this is definitely a big change for the Crown family who used to use the rear-drive platform design in the past. As for whether the other Sport SUV, Sedan and Estate will adopt the horizontal front-wheel drive or maintain the vertical rear-wheel drive platform design, it will be revealed by the original factory in the future.
Judging from the interior factory map of Crown Crossover, you can feel that the entire interior layout design is not only very luxurious, but also the texture of the materials used in the entire cabin is even more delicate and delicate, especially the original factory emphasizes the layout and application of the cabin materials. Metal trim (Warm Steel) that can feel a warm atmosphere without excessive decoration, to create an elegant and high-quality cabin space.
In the equipment part, the brand's latest generation 12.3-inch full-color digital instrument and HD high-resolution 12.3-inch central control touch screen host are imported, with built-in multimedia audio and video, navigation and voice control systems, and can also support Apple CarPlay & Android Auto and Miracast connectivity. In addition, the mid-to-high-end models are equipped with HUD full-color projection head-up display (3 display modes), wireless charging device for mobile phones, electric adjustment of dual front seats (additional heating/ventilation function), electronic rear-view mirror in the car, getting on and off the car Seat automatic sliding welcome mode, Drive Mode multiple driving modes, Premium Sound audio system + 10 speakers and kick-sensing electric luggage compartment cover, etc. In addition, the rear seats with a 4/2/4 separation design also have an electric angle adjustment function, allowing occupants to set the most comfortable riding angle.
In terms of active safety technology, the data shows that the entire car series is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system as standard, including DRCC full-speed range radar sensor distance maintenance constant speed system, PCS early warning protection (with automatic brake assist and support for intersection recognition), LTA lane tracking. Track assist, ESA emergency avoidance assist, RSA speed limit recognition assist, BSM blind spot detection warning, AHS intelligent high beam automatic shielding, RCTB rear traffic brake assist system, etc. In addition, by upgrading the detection range of the detection radar and camera lens, the ability to recognize complex traffic situations and driving environment scenes is enhanced. In addition to the TSS 3.0 system, high-end models have also introduced Toyota's new-generation Teammate driver assistance system, which provides more delicate stop-and-go and steering functions when the vehicle is in traffic jams. It also supports the Advanced Park remote control automatic parking function. Outside the car, a remote control device is used to control functions such as automatic reversing into the garage or roadside parking.
In the power part, it is also a highlight of the new Crown Crossover. The original factory provides it with two power specifications, including the 2.5-liter NA gasoline-electric four-wheel drive and the newly imported 2.4-liter Turbo gasoline-electric system four-wheel drive. The former adopts the familiar traditional THS II series-parallel oil-electric system, equipped with an A25A-FXS 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and E-CVT stepless gearbox, and is equipped with a nickel-metal hydride battery pack and front and rear dual electric power. The E-Four four-wheel drive system formed by the motor can release 186hp, 22.5kgm maximum horsepower and torque from the engine body alone, the maximum horsepower output of the combined oil and electricity can reach 234hp, and the average fuel consumption is 22.4km/L (Japan WLTC) .
The brand-new 2.4-liter Hybrid turbo petrol-electric system, which has been introduced for the first time in the brand, is equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged gasoline engine codenamed T24A-FTS, and is matched with a Direct Shift-6AT gearbox, a rear axle eAxle motor, and a combination of front and rear Dual-motor E-Four Advanced four-wheel drive system and newly developed bipolar NiMH battery pack. The engine body part can output 272hp, 46.9kgm, the maximum horsepower of the combined oil and electricity can reach 349hp, and the average fuel consumption is 15.7km/L (Japan WLTC). According to the data, this new turbo oil-electric power combination can provide a stronger low-speed and high-torque output response, bringing drivers a faster, more direct, smoother and more linear acceleration experience.
