Heavyweight for heavyweights
There are cars like the Nissan Murano CrossaCabriolet. Range Rover Evoque and the T-Roc Cabrio in a prominent place in your automotive cabinet of curiosities? Then move them closer together to make room for these two more than remarkable convertibles from Toyota. One is based on an SUV, the other on a stretched crossover. What they have in common: they both have four doors!
Yesterday we were able to show you a truly striking rarity from Volkswagen: the Virtus Cabrio, a one-off convertible version of the Volkswagen Virtus. That Virtus Cabrio was the cut-down version of a four-door sedan that retained all four doors. Toyota has presented two idiosyncratic bon vivants in the same vein. One is a four-door convertible version of the luxurious Century SUV, the other a cut-down version of the Toyota Crown Crossover.
The two openwork models are both quite striking. After all, they simply have four doors and that is certainly not common in convertible land. The why of the Toyota Century SUV in convertible form? Toyota has a special answer to that. The Century ‘SUV Convertible’ was created to cheer on sumo wrestlers during parades. The obese colossus will be used by the Japan Sumo Association. Are you swimming in money right now? Then you should probably be able to order a copy yourself from Toyota. At the same time, Toyota has only removed a long-legged one from its roof. The Crown Crossover, one of the many variants of the new Crown family, has also emerged as a convertible. This remains a one-off model.
