Overview of the Toyota Century
Toyota Century made its debut in 1967 as the company’s chauffeur-driven car. It was designed to compete with Western luxury brands which has dominated the Japanese market. The first generation featured the best technology available then, and the company has been improving the model to offer unmatched luxury and comfort to occupants.
The all-new 2024 Century will be fully customizable on a global basis according to the client’s needs. This is done to offer an SUV that serves each customer’s need.
Exterior design
The exterior features a center of gravity at the rear, combined with an outline inspired by a loom shuttle motif, with kichomen chamfering delineating generously sized, smooth-flowing door panels, to give expression to the unique Century worldview. Standard across all grades is the engraved phoenix emblem and meticulously polished side mirrors finished by master craftspeople.
Four set-back lamps are available each for the taillights and headlights for improved visibility and an impression of a gaze full of dignity. The new exterior design and two tone finish resembles the 2024 Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV.
Interior design
For the 2024 model year, Toyota redesigned the interior to offer more space, comfort, and functionality that can be used in a variety of situations. The rear is equipped with fully reclining seats with functions that allow rear-seat passengers to truly relax and refresh if need be. A premium audio and entertainment system has also been added to the cabin for an improved listening experience.
Ease of entry and exit is provided by the rear doors that open to a wide 75-degree angle and a sweeping cabin floor. Comfort is also enhanced in the cabin by the convenient automatic retractable power steps and east to grab C-pillar.
Safety and driver assistance systems
Toyota equipped the 2024 Century with the latest and sophisticated Safety and driver assistance systems which support the driver as well as enhance ease of use. It also helps the owners to focus on their driving when they are at the wheel themselves.
Engine, power, drivetrain, and overall performance
Standard across all grades is the new 3.5-liter V6 plug-in hybrid system which offers powerful and exhilarating drive while maintaining a serene cabin. The new powertrain is designed to function as a BEV for everyday use and as an HEV for long-distance travel, making it the ideal powertrain for chauffeur-driven vehicles.
The Internal combustion engine and the electric motors work in tandem to provide powerful and exhilarating performance, while also maintaining a high level of comfort and safety.
Handling has been simplified with the addition of the four-wheel steering system “Dynamic Rear Steering” as standard. This system aids in easy handling at low speeds and seamless, natural handling at medium to high speeds.
New to the 2024 Toyota Century is the Rear Comfort mode feature that supports the driver’s control of the vehicle to ensure a comfortable ride for passengers in the rear. The system also assists braking control to suppress jolts when the vehicle comes to a halt.
The body structure of the 2024 Toyota Century
For the 2024 model year, Toyota developed a new luggage compartment structure to offer a more serene cabin. Its body’s torsional rigidity and ride comfort were not left out in the redesign. Noise-reducing clear laminated glass is used on the cabin side of the cargo space separator to properly separate the cabin from the cargo area and achieve the privacy and astounding quietness associated with chauffeur-driven vehicles.
