The rebirth of the Phoenix. Yes, you heard it right. The Century’s phoenix came out later in 2025 and stole the show. Ever thought of luxury combined with Japanese longevity? Well, the 2025 Century is the ultimate example. This time, it comes with the latest technological features, ensuring that you experience a lifetime of a ride. Now, let's further look into the Century’s rebirth and how this new model continues to uphold Japan’s legacy.

A Legacy of Japanese Excellence

The first Toyota Century came out in 1967. Ever since, it has been a symbol of luxury, especially among people of high status. It came out on Toyota founder Sakichi Toyoda’s 100th birthday. At that time, this car was a symbol of luxury.

Government officials and business tycoons, especially, used this car for commuting. Think of this vehicle as Japan’s best-kept secret. Now what's so special about this secret? Well, it's that this car is a pure symbol of Japanese craftsmanship, which is also called “Takumi” in Japanese.

Fast forward a few decades, Toyota is relaunching its Century, and this time it's real. Toyota carries its legacy forward by combining Japanese craftsmanship with Japanese technology. The new 2025 Toyota Century reflects the evolution of the Japanese auto industry. It's because the new model has a modern design and performance, but the same calm engine as before.

Exterior: Design and Styling

Profile

The Toyota Century SUV, overall, reflects the Japanese Takumi craftsmanship. The vehicle stands tall from the ground, and its clean contours tell us about the years of effort it must’ve taken to put it all together.

Pheonix Emblem

The 2025 Toyota Century’s standout design feature is definitely the golden phoenix emblem. You’d find it on the front grille and on the steering. It symbolises pure Japanese craftsmanship, and some sources suggest that this bird represents the Imperial house of Japan.

Japan’s Rolls-Royce

Ever since its release, people around the globe have been associating the 2025 Toyota Century with Rolls-Royce and Bentley. It's because it's a luxury SUV vehicle. Just like other luxury vehicles, the Toyota Century is also entering the market in limited numbers. It is very exclusive to Japan, and people recognise it for its exclusivity.

Panoramic Roof

It's not an ordinary SUV; it is packed with many luxury features. The panoramic roof tops them all. Don’t think of it as an ordinary panoramic roof; it is a glass roof that has a traditional sunshade with it. It also has a new electrochromic privacy glass technology, which makes sure that the passengers are not visible from the outside.

The Luxurious Interior

VIP Cabin

The 2025 Toyota Century is Japan’s best luxury vehicle for a reason. The cabin is extraordinary and has everything that a luxury vehicle’s interior must have. The seating configuration is such that it seats five to seven people. The Century has a four-seat executive layout that gives ample legroom and headroom to each passenger. The seats also add to the overall luxurious feel. They are made of premium quality wool and that too for a reason. It's because wool stays cool in the summer and warm in the winters.

Rear Seat Experience

The 2025 Toyota Century interior looks nothing short of a suite. Envision a mobile suite. It's a luxury cabin that has all the necessary features you need for a relaxing drive. Now, let's get into it. To begin with, you can easily recline the rear seats and get a massage. This is not it. You will find a personal entertainment screen in front of each seat. This is not your ordinary screen because it is a multipurpose one. You can navigate, watch movies, and listen to everything without disturbing the driver. The following are some more luxury features you will find in the 2025 Toyota Century

• Four-seat executive layout

• Premium leather upholstery

• Reclining rear executive seats

• Massage functions

• Soft interior lighting

Engine and Performance

The 2025 Toyota Century was last seen at the Japan Auto Show this year. The SUV and Sedan we are talking about are not only about the luxury feel and how it look. There's actually more to it. So let's delve into the 2025 Century engine and performance. The big launch is yet to happen, so we only have bits and pieces of information on it. But what we have is genuinely mind-blowing.

To begin with, it is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) engine for the SUV and a V12 for the Sedan. The SUV model has a 3.5L V6 PHEV engine, while the sedan has a 5.0L V12 BEAMS engine. There are some sources that suggest that the Century SUV produces around 381 hp and 510 Nm of torque. This is an extraordinary performance that results in high acceleration.

Safety Features

Safety has been Toyota’s top priority for years. With its Century model, it carries the legacy of coming up with the latest safety features. The 2025 Toyota Century has the complete Toyota Safety Sense package. It comes with six airbags located throughout the car.

Toyota Century comes as a luxury vehicle and does not compromise on its safety at all. Apart from airbags, it has various other driver assist technologies. Let's look into those:

• Adaptive Cruise Control

• Lane Departure Alert

• Pre-Collision System

• Blind-Sport Monitoring

• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

Interestingly, the 2025 Toyota Century features a 360-degree camera system that is very useful for drivers at all times. It helps during reversing or parking in tight spaces. Secondly, the new Century also has a Driver Monitoring System which makes sure that the driver stays alert at all times and pays attention.

What new technology do we have?

Think of this vehicle as the phoenix’s rebirth, but with improved technological features. You can find the latest cutting-edge technology in this vehicle. Let's start with the most important one, the Dynamic Rear Steering.

Dynamic Rear Steer

This one's a four-wheel steering system, which steers all four wheels at once. Traditionally, the steering only steers the front ones, but now, when you make a turn, this technology will help you turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels.

Advanced Hybrid and E-Four AWD System

Our very own Century SUV has an All Wheel Drive system along with its plug-in hybrid system.

Electro-chromic “Digital Curtain” Glass

Speaking of aesthetics combined with comfort, the Century brings to you the Digital Curtain Glass. This glass can switch between clear, semi-transparent, and fully opaque views. It helps with privacy.

Toyota Century Price

The Toyota Century is exclusively a premium-luxury vehicle, so it does justify itself with its price. Years of Japanese craftsmanship and creativity result in such a dream of a vehicle. Toyota still has not confirmed the Toyota Century price since the vehicle has yet to officially launch. However, there are speculations. Sources suggest that its price will start around $170,000 and can go as high as $183,300. This year, Toyota did not slow; it launched several other models, such as the 2025 Toyota Camry and the all-popular Toyota Baby Land Cruiser.

Final Thoughts

Through the 2025 Century, Toyota yet again proves to the world that it is Japan’s best-selling car brand that has a vehicle for all types. It is very interesting for the world to see the king of affordable cars launch its line of luxury performance cars. The world is impressed and for sure eyeing to get their hands on the limited edition luxury SUV. If you are someone who is interested in luxury vehicles, then the Toyota Century is definitely worth considering.
