#Sbt japan 2016 toyota markx series

Toyota discontinued the inline-six engines used in the Verossa which included the JZ series and the G series engines, and went to the newly developed GR series engine. Major changes to the Mark series are the engine and footwork. The continuation of describing this vehicle as the 'X' series is a reference to the first dedicated Mark II platform introduced in 1972. Instead of being based on a modified Supra chassis 'A' series platform, the Mark X continues to use the Toyota 'X' platform, and does not share its platform with the Toyota 'S' series platform used under the Crown and Lexus GS. Toyota unveiled the Mark X saloon in 2004 as the successor to the Mark II saloon which has been on the market since 1968. The Mark X was also officially imported to Indonesia in limited quantities between 20, to replace Australian-built Camrys as premium taxis. The Mark X was sold as the Reiz ( Chinese: 锐志 pinyin: Ruìzhì) in China, which was produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co. Both the first and second generation Mark X were manufactured at the Motomachi plant in Japan. The Mark X was previously sold as an alternative to the front-wheel drive Camry, which was once the largest new saloon at Corolla Store locations, for buyers who like the size of the Camry, but prefer a rear-wheel drive layout.ĭifferent engine sizes were offered to allow Japanese buyers which annual road tax they were willing to pay the larger engines offer higher levels of standard equipment and luxury features. The Mark X is a continuation of the previous Mark II and its siblings, the sport-oriented Chaser, and the luxurious Cresta in one vehicle, repeating an approach previously attempted by the short-lived Verossa that used inline-six engines, whereas the Mark X uses V6 engines.

The 'Mark X' is not pronounced 'Mark Ten' but 'Mark Ex', though the 'Mark II' is 'Mark Two'. Internationally, it wasn't as well known as the Crown, which was available new at a different Toyota dealership. The Mark X has a loyal following of enthusiasts and owners, as it continued where the Mark II left off when it was replaced in 2004. The Mark X was introduced in 2004 and is the successor to the Mark II which was first introduced in 1968, and was known in the North American market as the Corona Mark II starting in 1972, and renamed the Cressida from 1977 to 1992.

In Japan, it was the top-level car, sold only new at Toyopet Store locations. The Toyota Mark X ( Japanese: トヨタ・マークX, Toyota Māku X) is a mid-size car manufactured by Toyota between 20, and was primarily aimed at the Japanese market.
