Toyota is going hard in the luxury segment with cars like the Alphard and the Vellfire. In Japan, Toyota even has the Century luxury nameplate, which houses its luxury cars. Currently, we only have a Century sedan which is Toyota’s flagship model in Japan. The cars are quite a niche, with separate dealerships, even from the Lexus brand. Now the Century lineup is going to get a new SUV that is going to be a global SUV. In today’s article, let’s talk about the Toyota Century SUV.
