Toyota Mark X

The second generation Mark X made its debut at the Tokyo motor show late last month, furthering the sporty and luxurious theme initiated by the outgoing model. The redesigned rear-wheel-drive sedan was created around a 'glam tech' theme at Toyota's Japanese studios, combining a modern look with high-tech features .

Overall, the design of the Mark X is a subtle contrast of dynamic elements paired with understated luxury. At the front, pronounced fenders give the impression that the vehicle is ready to leap forwards, while three openings in the bumper and a 20mm wider track emphasize the vehicle's low center of gravity and wide stance. The vehicle's silhouette is smooth and elegant, with expansive C-pillars and a precise feature line beneath the door handles to emphasize integration with the underbody.

Inside, the interior continues the sporty and dynamic theme with a flowing IP and prominent center stack. Available in two trim levels - Premium and Sport - the steering wheel and shift knob ornamentation can either be trimmed in a wood-grain finish to enhance its luxury appeal or in a modern and robust black lacquered-theme in the Sports model (pictured).
