In addition to the four-door sedan concept model, the Toyota Corolla, Toyota has also unveiled an ultra-luxury two-door coupe (or grand tourer) concept that will bear the Century nameplate.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Recently, Toyota has been attempting to establish the Century as one of its ultra-luxury sub-brands, set to compete with rivals such as Bentley, Jaguar, and Rolls-Royce.
Unlike its existing sedan and SUV offerings, Toyota seems determined to provide a completely new body style under the Century brand.
There are several intriguing details that we can observe from the teaser images provided, such as:
A fairly long engine hood
A conventional door opening on the right side
The presence of double sliding doors on the left side
A centrally positioned driver seat
No rear windows
This coupe also features layered lighting designs at both the front and rear, resembling the existing Century SUV offerings.
Additionally, there are vents on the engine hood and a partially open grille structure (complete with a phoenix emblem), suggesting that this coupe may be available with an internal combustion engine.
More details are expected to be revealed ahead of the Japan Mobility Show 2025, which will kick off at the end of this month.
