The ultimate Toyota Century SUV has been imagined with an extended wheelbase and sliding rear doors

Japanese automaker Toyota has a wide range of models in America through just two brands, Lexus and its namesake brand. However, they could still add a few new names to the roster.

After the first six months of the year, General Motors has lost ground to Toyota, which has only 103,000 sales. Of course, this is mainly due to its solid reputation for reliability and extensive model list. Lexus, for example, has no less than twelve model series up for grabs.

Meanwhile, Toyota sells the Corolla sedan, Hatchback and GR Corolla; the Prius, Camry, Mirai, Sienna, GR86 and GR Supra passenger cars, as well as the Tacoma and Tundra trucks, as well as the Corolla Cross, bZ4X, RAV4, Venza, Crown Signia, Highlander, 4Runner, Grand Highlander and Sequoia, as well as the Land Cruiser crossover and SUV!

Of course, while Toyota models aren't necessarily the most affordable cars, CUVs, SUVs, and trucks around, the luxury segment is Lexus's, untouchable by definition. However, that's only in North America because Toyota sells luxury models like the Century series at home, in Japan, and in other regions.

The latter began as a range of full-size luxury cars and limousine-type vehicles in 1967, primarily for the local market. Between 1967 and 1997, the model received only minor updates until major redesigns in 1997 and 2018. Thus, although it is close to turning 60 in 2027, the nameplate has only gone through three distinct iterations, and the latest is now offered not only as a four-door limousine or special convertible (the Royal Parade car), but also with a new Off-road body type.

The new format was introduced late last year based on the TNGA-K platform shared with the North American Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX. It also gets a plug-in hybrid powertrain and a 3.5-liter V6 engine, unlike the sedan, which has a hybrid V8 under the hood. So, if anyone wants to know, the Century SUV has a combined system output of 406 horsepower.

In any case, this close relationship with the North American models has raised eyebrows among some individuals in the parallel universes of vehicular CGI, and the imaginary realm of automotive digital content creators has proceeded to imagine an unofficial and hypothetical version that could also reach the shores of the United States. Alas, just to make sure it doesn't encroach on Lexus territory, it is a little different from the real-world Toyota Century G70 SUV.

So, the good folks at Kolesa, along with their resident pixel master Nikita Chuicko, aka Kelsonian on social media, they imagined the ultimate Toyota Century SUV, a long-wheelbase model with huge rear doors for the easiest possible access. They’re not even traditional doors, but sliding ones! What do you think? Could such an extravagant luxury SUV succeed in America?
