Toyota Teased a Convertible Version of Its Ultra-Lux, $170,000 Century SUV
-
Toyota teased a convertible version of its new $170,000 Century luxury SUV during the model's world premiere event.
-
The regular Century SUV will be ultra-rare, with only about 360 units expected to sell annually in Japan. A convertible version would be even more exclusive.
-
Toyota previously built a convertible version of the Century sedan for Japan's Emperor Naruhito in 2019, so a drop-top SUV isn't unprecedented.
-
The new Century SUV may be offered globally, expanding beyond Japan where the sedan has traditionally been sold.
-
Other automakers like Land Rover and Volkswagen have also experimented with convertible SUVs in recent years, though they remain a niche offering.
