The resource has confirmed that the vehicle will be presented this year, however there is no exact date announced, while some sources say autumn is the most probable release time.

Alongside with photos there were some details about the car’s powertrain shown: luckily for car enthusiasts, it will be not a fully electric car. Toyota Century will have a 3.5-liter V6 engine at the front producing around 300 horsepower, and an 80 horsepower electric motor at the rear axle, which makes it a big hybrid SUV. There are also some good news for those who like to hear clicking of their Rolex replica watch while driving on a speedway, as it was also announced that a purely electric version will also be introduced later. Talking about replicas, the name of the car may be changed, so that the expensive crossover is not associated with the more affordable Toyota Century sedan.

The Toyota Century will be built on the elongated Highlander platform (i.e., the TNGA-K platform) and will have three rows of seats. The dimensions of the new Toyota SUV will be 5.2 x 1.95 x 1.75 m, with a wheelbase of 3 m. This means that the Toyota Century will be over 20 cm longer than the well-known Land Cruiser 300, and 14 cm shorter than a Rolls Royce Cullinan.

Toyota is about to introduce an electric car being charged in 10 mins!

Reading Time: 2 minutesThere is a trend in the modern car industry to aim at the production of electric automobiles, which are of people’s interest and demand nowadays. Toyota, being one of the most significant Japanese car producers, is not an exception! The company has been experimenting with solid-state batteries since 2017 and is planning to present its newest technology on the mass market. All in all, their work is likely to be done in the shortest terms, as the car presentation with the new technology applied was planned for the middle of the next year.

According to Nikkei Asia, one of the largest financial newspapers, the car of Toyota will be possible to go 500 km with the battery fully charged. What is more compelling – only 10 minutes are needed to charge the battery from 5% to 90%. However, the information was given on the prototype, so the situation may be quite different as well as captivating than it was before.

Usually, it takes around 2 years to make a realization of a car prototype, but no one knows how much time is needed to create a totally new project of an electric car operated with an unknown type of tracking batteries, which are planned to be used in Toyota electric models of a new type.

There are lots of electric car advantages in comparison with the regular ones, though they are much more expensive in production. The batteries of this kind are predicted to be of use in automobiles in 2025, but if Toyota manages to start such a car production, it will make a giant step in electro car market promotion.
