Design

“Understand” might become the best word to say about the current model of land cruiser. For the next model, we expect that it will follow this design type closely. However, it can help its marketing as good as it did. The evolution of the design may be seen in the current land cruiser but somehow we expect more than that.

To be able to lift the car and help it go fast in any type of terrain, some suggest adding an air suspension system.

Besides, helped by turbocharging, the next generation of Land cruiser can make little bit more power than before. Hybrid system and the lower total weight of the car itself can help Land Cruiser easily return better MPG than its other competitors. However, it is still unknown yet what kind of platform that Toyota will use. So far, we expect the change is for the better future. We may hope that Land Cruiser is going to be back to its nature to be cheaper, more efficient, and cozy for any type of terrain.

At last, the next generation of Toyota land Cruiser 2018 seems to give an offer for true luxury crossover power and efficiency.

TOYOTA CAMRY: Spying on the Sleeker and Sporty New TRD Generation - 2018 Toyota Camry TRD has been waited by the fans of sedan. By some spy shots we can glean, we expect that it will give a lot promises that the next generation of Camry TRD will attract the consumers. It seems like the next gen of 2018 Camry is caught testing with Lexus RX and Highlander and to be high performance of sedan variant. Does it sound crazy? Maybe, but it could be stunning Camry. Many said that Toyota prototype redesign this mid- size sedan with some surprising elements. It sounds to be good news to achieve the maximum sales of this product since Camry remains popular among worldwide consumers which is sold about 429.000 units last year. It is not only bestselling model for Toyota but also bestselling passenger for car in the USA.

This new generation Camry TRD is going to ride on Toyota’s new modular platform called TNGA which stands for Toyota New Global Architecture. It made its debut of production with 2016 Prius and provides the basis of half Toyota’s vehicles. This TNGA seems to come up for tidying up the Prius’ dynamics, so we can be optimistic that Camry makes the switch as well. They have plans to reduce the weight measure and use some aluminum components for the hood and some other places. That can be great planning.

The prototype is somehow using multi-spoke and sporty wheels which are done in black. The side profile is slightly more angular design, not a lot departure from the previous generation. Having an awkward design, the current Camry favors sleeker or we can say more angular design with fish-like front fascia. The highlights might be slimmer than the current model of Sedan. However, the big triangular grille still dominates the fascia rear part with two smaller cutouts that flanks either side. The rear body of Camry benefits for the same change design on the front. For having a pointy design which is highlighted by jagged, the curvy rear is ditched. LED units may be used for boomerang- shaped taillights. On the top of the trunk attaches a slim spoiler to emphasize the sportiness.

Talking about the powertrain, this Camry TRD will attach four-cylinder of turbocharged that is tipped to join the lineup of Camry as an alternative engine. It might be possible that the newest 2018 Camry TRD is now going to confines the optional engine model of V-6 Camry which is sport- oriented. If it happens, we might expect that Camry TRD will use the latest version of 3.5-liter V-6 Toyota that is rated in 295-hp in the Highlander. Camry TRD tweaks may simply installed six-cylinder over the 300 horsepower verge. This manual transmission is such a long shot since Camry has not proffered one of them for few years and also all-wheel drive. Consumers may expect front-wheel drive and the eight-speed of automatic transmission.

Overall, the consumers expect the more high performance car, the sleeker and sportier model from the next generation of 2018 Toyota Camry TRD
