La evolution of the automotive sector It has changed the relationship between customers and brands. When the SUV's landed, no one thought that they could revolutionize the public's mentality and, incidentally, end other segments. The minivans they are one of those that have had the worst time since today families do not pay attention to them when looking for space and versatility. For this reason, brands are evolving to adapt to new demands.
Toyota It is one of the brands that offers the greatest breadth in its range. The Sienna It is one of the minivans with the highest market share in the United States and other smaller areas. However, the public wants more SUVs with seven, eight or nine seats and they are not yet adapted to this demand. Until now, they have started working in this direction and very soon they will launch a product of this style, but it will not come alone, it will have a brother.
Toyota and Lexus will manufacture this new SUV in Indiana (USA)
Some days ago Toyota has announced that they are developing a new SUV with space for eight passengers. It will be a completely new model and is designed to adapt to the new paradigms that have changed the automotive sector. Firstly, because it will be a new concept within luxury and secondly because it will have totally or partially electrified versions. All this to achieve a vital objective.
It's about being neutral in polluting emissions by the year 2050. According to Toyota, they will have cutting-edge technology in which, among others, an elaborate semi-automatic driving system will not be missing. In this way, the hands free driving it will be a reality in situations such as traffic jams or parking lots. In addition, it allows the management of the car through a digital key or smartphone that allows the use of certain remote functions.
Best of all, this Toyota will not arrive alone. As we have mentioned, he will have a twin brother and, as you can imagine, he will have the lexus-logo. For now we do not know what its position will be in the range of the premium manufacturer, but it should be located in the line of the LX. At this time we know that Toyota will make an investment of 803 million dollars in the Indiana factory to update the assembly line.
Nor have they announced in what date will present one and another modelbut it shouldn't take long. Of course, do not expect them to arrive in Europe, because surely their mechanical offer, although electrified, will not be to our liking.
