Toyota to launch new cars with bolder , stronger & more venturesome designs
Toyota to launch new cars with bolder , stronger & more venturesome designs
After decades of emphasizing staid reliability, Toyota wants to start running with the cool kids.
In a new approach announced Monday, the company, Japan's biggest automaker, said it was overhauling its development system to give engineers more freedom to experiment with bolder, more daring designs.
"We want to take more risks," Akio Toyoda, the automaker's chief executive and grandson of the company's founder, told reporters Monday at the main design lab at headquarters here in Toyota City, 200 miles southwest of Tokyo.
The company will give more power to its engineers, Toyoda said, and streamline design decisions, partly by reducing the number of executives involved in reviewing new designs. Previously, design changes could be reviewed by as many as 100 executives.
But the engineers will be under pressure to cut costs by using standard parts across different models, Toyoda said at a briefing at the tightly guarded lab, where reporters' cellphones and cameras were confiscated.
Toyota will also cede more research and development for emerging-economy nations to locally based teams, allowing designers to craft models specifically to local tastes, he said.
In many ways, Toyota is eager to reinvent itself after three disastrous years marred by problems of its own making as well as those beyond its control. A collapse in trade during the global economic crisis contributed to Toyota's biggest-ever loss, while widespread product recalls in 2009 tarnished its once-stellar safety record.
More recently, last year's tsunami in Japan and flooding in Thailand crimped production for months. And a strong yen continues to weigh on the company's competitiveness and bottom line.
But the 75-year-old company is also trying to refresh an even deeper-rooted issue: a design philosophy that has focused more on function, cost and efficiency than form.
Take the Camry, the sensible grocery-getter. Despite its status as the best-selling car in North America, its design has long been the butt of jokes.

Toyota to debut 2013 Avalon Concept at the 2012 New York International Auto Show
Toyota has announced today that it will be bringing an all new U.S. designed sedan to show off at the 2012 New York Auto Show.
The details are sparse on what the new car will be, with Toyota saying, “the sedan’s exciting new design features an elegant yet athletic look.” The new car could possibly be an all new 2013 Avalon , although we can’t be sure.
Designed in the U.S. (presumably at the brand’s Calty design center in California), it features some massive wheels, aggressive exhaust tops and even a rear-end that’s inspired by the new Scion FR-S sports car.
Toyota designers who worked on the car will be hosting a live video chat at 2pm on the day of the reveal &it will be answering the public’s questions regarding the new mystery car.

Toyota Kirloskar India launched a cheaper version of Corolla Altis Automatic called the 1.8 G-HV variant.
Toyota Kirloskar India launched a cheaper version of Corolla Altis Automatic called the 1.8 G-HV variant
Toyota India has introduced new petrol variants of its D-segment sedan Corolla Altis. The new petrol variant called G(HV) comes with a same 1.8-litre petrol engine and the seven-speed CVT automatic transmission, also available on the top-end VL variant. Toyota has priced the G(HV) at Rs 13.76 lakhs ( ex-showroom Delhi ) , which is Rs 1.23 lakhs cheaper than the V automatic variant.
Toyota India has introduced this model with limited branding activities, but we can’t help but highlight the fact that this is not the cheapest automatic in the D-segment. Since the engine and transmission are the same from the top-end, the company has compromised on few features to reduce the cost.
Besides lower maintenance costs, compared to other vehicles in the segment , the new Corolla vehicle is looked upon as a secure and safe vehicle due to safety features like being bomb proof. Corolla Altis G-HV has a touchscreen DVD console with Bluetooth connectivity. Obviously a host of other luxury features will have to be done away with so as to compensate the lower price tag.
The features that have been deleted include electric seats, leather upholstery replaced by fabric seats, Xenons with headlamp washers replaced by normal headlamps, retractable rear sun shade, start/stop button, keyless entry retained without smart entry,full leather wrapped steering retained without wood wrap.

TOYOTA FT-Bh CITY CAR CONCEPT
TOYOTA FT-Bh CITY CAR CONCEPT
Toyota says it will unveiling of a new city car concept at next month's Geneva Motor Show, potentially previewing a new rival for Volkswagen's entry-level Up ! Car .
Wearing the familiar 'FT' prefix carried by more than a few of Toyota's concepts, the new car will be dubbed FT-Bh - pointing to the car's B-segment city-car size, & a hybrid powertrain.
The hybrid system is expected to be the only powertrain option for the production version of the FT-Bh, setting it apart from the petrol-powered Up! & the planned e-Up! electric vehicle.
Toyota says the FT-Bh has been designed to keep manufacturing costs down, with a focus on introducing the new model at a competitive point in Europe's hard-fought city-car market.
Little else has been revealed at this stage, although a teaser illustration today suggests the concept will combine design elements from the current Prius, the new Yaris light car, and the recent NS4 concept.

2012 TOYOTA ETIOS & LIVA INTERIORS
2012 TOYOTA ETIOS & LIVA INTERIORS
In a bid to keep the cost low, Toyota India compromised on the aesthetics of interiors. The grey tone interiors became the weakest link of the entire package. Took a long time for Toyota to figure out the Achilles heel but they have finally set the records straight.
Toyota India presented a Liva with revamped interiors at the 2012 Indian Auto Expo. Here we have images from the Expo.
As one can easily notice, the dull grey tone is passé and is replaced by a jet black tone. Changes have been made to the music system panel as well. The gear knob is now silver and not a flashy red one. We also noticed that the fit and finish of the panels have been improved dramatically.
Toyota also claimed that they have worked on the NVH levels of the Liva to make it quieter at high speeds (another major problem in the Liva). However, since we haven’t driven the new one, we cannot vindicate that claim.
