Or is it a sedan version? Toyota Crown’s new model is about to debut at the Guangzhou Auto Show

A few days ago, we learned from the official channels of FAW Toyota that the new model of the Crown family will be unveiled at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show. In June this year, the Crown SportCross has been listed in China. It is a crossover car with a price range of 369,000-429,000 yuan.

Previously, the Crown family released models, as well as a sedan and two SUVs, and according to the information received, the upcoming or Crown Sedan, that is, the sedan version, will also be imported by FAW Toyota in the future. The price should be similar to the Crown SportCross.

Compared with the Crown SportCross, which is more youthful and sporty, the Crown Sedan, which is a sedan, is a bit more composed. The front face is divided into upper and lower layers, and the visual center of gravity is occupied by the huge polygonal air intake grille. The interior is filled with black straight waterfall-style trims, which take into account the visual impact and atmospheric effect. Both sides are equipped with vertical diversion grooves, which not only bring a certain sense of movement, but also help the tires and brake discs to dissipate heat.

The top half of the front face is allocated with a through light strip, and the far and near lights on both sides are composed of four sets of LED light sources arranged horizontally to form a hidden effect, adding a bit of personality to the front face. In addition, the crown logo has been moved to the front of the hood.

The side lines of the Crown Sedan are mainly straight, showing a rather smooth visual effect. With the large-size dense-spoke turbofan-style wheels below, it shows the aura and sense of grade that a medium and large car should have. It is more in line with the classic image of the crown in our minds.

In order to echo the front face, the tail is also equipped with a through taillight, the crown logo and the "CROWN" English logo are separated from the middle by the light strip. There are vertical vents on both sides of the rear surround, and the bottom is a cross-type rear bumper, which performs well in terms of youth and fashion. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 5030/1890/1470mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3000mm.

In the car, the design of the Crown Sedan and the Crown SportCross is consistent, keeping up with the current trend of the times, replaced with a 12.3-inch floating central control screen, and connected to the 12.3-inch full LCD meter hood. There is also a light gold trim below, which extends to the position where the air conditioner is trending. The steering wheel also adopts a new shape, which looks quite textured.

Some physical buttons for common functions are retained below the trend of the air conditioner, and the central channel area integrates an electronic stop lever, a wireless charging panel for mobile phones, and two water cup holders. The interior design of this set continues Toyota’s usual conservative design style. Although it is not refreshing at the moment, it cannot be found too much fault. However, the door panels and the central channel area are supplemented by wood grain trim panels, and a large number of leather packages are added to the entire interior to create a nice luxurious atmosphere.

The Crown Sedan is built on the Toyota TNGA-K platform and adopts a front-drive layout. The power part should also be compatible with the Crown SportCross, providing a 2.5L gasoline-electric hybrid system and a 2.4T gasoline-electric hybrid system. The former is composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + front single motor, and the comprehensive power of the system is 160 kilowatts, matching the E-CVT gearbox; the latter is composed of a 2.4T turbocharged engine + dual motors, with a comprehensive power of 255 kW and a comprehensive torque of up to 551 Nm. It is matched with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, with a 100-kilometer acceleration time of 5.8 seconds. It is also equipped with an E-Four Advance electronic four-wheel drive system. It will also provide an AVS adaptive variable suspension system.

The change of the new generation of Toyota Crown is not obvious. It has changed the image of moderation that it gave people in the past. Although this design can be refreshing, it can also cater to the aesthetics of young consumers. However, it is undeniable that most of the audience groups before the Crown were middle-aged consumers. If you look at young fashion now, I don’t know if you can accept it for a while.

In addition, with reference to the price of the Crown SportCross, the Crown Sedan should not be sold cheaply, which will inevitably overlap with some luxury brand models. Although Toyota is committed to building the Crown into its high-end product series, when facing luxury brand models, it obviously requires a certain amount of emotion and courage to choose the Crown. If it were you, how would you choose? (Text/comfortable heart)

Interview with Yang Mi: I have never quarreled with Liu Kaiwei, and marriage should take its course


Yang Mi accepts an exclusive interview with [Movie Network]

    Movie Network News(Graphic video/Shanghai Film Festival Report Team) "I’ve actually only been making movies for one year, and it’s too exaggerated to say that I’ve been’overconsumed ‘!” 、、、、、& hellip;… 2012 was a year when Yang Mi’s film works collectively broke out. However, it was this little girl who released N movies one after another in this year who said that making movies is still a very new thing for herself.

    She, who has never been secretive, also talked a lot about her feelings in an interview with [Movie Network], and revealed that she was confessed by Liu Kaiwei on the phone. The two had a good relationship that never quarreled, and marriage should take its course.

"Dawudang" fight is not a fistfight, but a happy enemy with Zhao Wenzhuo

    In "Great Wudang", Yang Mi played a female swordsman. For the first time in martial arts, she played with Zhao Wenzhuo and Fan Shaohuang, who had trained in real kung fu. The pressure was really not small. In the movie, it was even more necessary to shoot with real guns and live ammunition, and injuries were inevitable, but Yang Mi enjoyed it: "Pain is the most real thing, and this is also the fun of acting."

    Movie Network:In the past, they were all romantic films, and the characters were relatively small girls. Why did they choose the role of beating women?

    Yang Mi: Because I really don’t know if I can try to make a movie, I also feel very excited. When I was making a movie, I had never tried many things in terms of physical fitness and psychology. In the past, when I was making TV dramas, I was actually playing small games. Now in "Da Wudang", I have to play with real guns and live ammunition. When I was filming, I also doubted whether I could do it, but when I finally made it through the whole process, I still felt that I was very good.

    Movie Network:
What do you think are the characteristics of the beating girl you play?

    Yang Mi: This time, the character is actually a grand thief. At the beginning, she was going to steal treasures, but in the middle, she encountered some situations where Zhao Wenzhuo did not know each other. The whole story is related to theft and theft, so it is quite special.

    Movie Network:Before, you said that Director Yuan Kui would design some very feminine movements, and they would look good when shot. Are you afraid that others will say that your fighting drama is not realistic enough?

    Yang Mi: When everyone goes to the movies, they will know that it is definitely not a fistfight. It just means that Director Yuankui will design the action according to everyone’s expertise, and find some good-looking camera positions for you to fight. For example, I may not be that strong, but I can kick my legs very high, so he will specially help me design some kicking movements, such as flying up and kicking, turning around and kicking, etc.

    Movie Network:What preparations have you made before filming, have you received any special training? Are you still easily injured while filming?

    Yang Mi: I have done physical training and some martial arts training before. I think it is inevitable that I will be injured in filming, not only me, but also the staff around me. But I think this is also the fun of filming. When there is a real pain and dangerous action, your reaction is the most real.

    Movie Network:Do you need a double?

    Yang Mi: Of course, there are some movements that cannot be completed, but most of them are completed by myself.

    Movie Network:What is the story between your character and Zhao Wenzhuo in Da Wudang?

    Yang Mi: In fact, we have always been very ignorant, from not knowing each other to a small spark of love in the end, but not to the kind that loves each other very much. On the whole, it is still the kind of happy enemy, one is very emotional, the other is very rational, so we have been spending time in this contradiction.

    Movie Network:What is your impression of Zhao Wenzhuo?

    Yang Mi: He is very nice. We have no experience in filming scenes, so we are afraid that we might hurt each other if we really fight. He accompanies me to try tricks over and over again, and is very patient. In his spare time, he often shows me photos of his son and daughter. He is a good father who loves his family very much.

Russia and the United States "spy wars continue"! A citizen of the United States was detained by Russia for an extended period.

  Cctv newsOn November 4th, the US media released pictures of Russian citizen Bujingna who was involved in the spy storm and was interviewed when she was detained. American citizens detained in Russia after Bujingna’s release — — What will happen to Whelan?

Bujingna: I am a "victim of racial discrimination against Russians"

Bujingna: I am a "victim of racial discrimination against Russians"

  On October 26th, Bukina, a Russian citizen who was imprisoned in the United States for being convicted of "illegally acting as a foreign agent", returned to Russia. Born in 1988, Bujingna came from Siberia, Russia. In 2018, she obtained a master’s degree in international relations from American University, and was arrested in Washington, D.C. in July of the same year. In April 2019, a federal court in Washington sentenced Bujingna to 18 months in prison. During her detention, Bujingna accepted an interview with the US media, saying that she was "a victim of racial discrimination against Russians".

  BujingnaI never wanted to influence your policy. I came here alone because I wanted to learn from the United States and then go back to Russia to make Russia a better place.

  According to the American side, Bujingna "conspired" with senior Russian officials and infiltrated into the powerful National Rifle Association of the United States, in order to penetrate into the inner circle of conservatives and Republicans and influence the US policy toward Russia. The National Rifle Association (NRA) is the largest gun owner organization and powerful interest group in the United States. At present, it has nearly 5 million members and has great influence in American politics.

  Bujingna told the media that the US federal government wanted to portray her as a "fox" sent by the Kremlin.

  The US media said that in the thousands of private tweets that she exchanged with a Russian official, she used words such as "according to our established plan" and "for future battles". However, the Russian side claimed that the prosecution and conviction of Bujingna by the US side was "politically biased" and that Bujingna was convicted only because she was a Russian citizen. The outside world also noticed that the crime of Bujingna’s final sentence did not involve "espionage", but "illegally acting as a foreign agent".

  Russian court extended the detention of American citizen Paul Whelan until the end of 2019.

  After Bujingna was released, the outside world was also concerned about the fate of Paul Whelan. Whelan, 49, was once a member of the US Marine Corps and was arrested in Moscow on December 28, 2018. The Russian Federal Security Service identified it as "engaged in espionage" in Moscow. At that time, some American media believed that Russia might have arrested Whelan for the sake of exchanging Bujingna.

  On October 24th, a court in Moscow, Russia ruled that Whelan’s detention would be extended for two months until December 29th. Whelan insisted that he was innocent when he appeared in court, saying that he went to Russia only to attend a friend’s wedding.


  Whelan, an American detained by Russia.Russia said they had caught James Bond, but in fact they just caught Mr. Bean who was on vacation.

  The United States asked Russia to provide evidence of Whelan’s misconduct or release him.

  According to Russian law, the maximum penalty for espionage is 20 years’ imprisonment. The US House of Representatives also passed a resolution on October 22nd, demanding that Russia provide evidence of Whelan’s misconduct or release him. In fact, this round of "spy storm" is just the tip of the iceberg where the United States and Russia have long been tit for tat. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov broke the news that American agents tried to "rebel" Russian diplomats.

  Russian Foreign Minister LavrovIn April 2016, the United States tried to "poach" the second-ranking official of the Russian Embassy in the United States and demanded his cooperation. The US intelligence department also put $10,000 in cash in the car of a senior Russian diplomat and left a note, trying to buy him off.

  Lavrov also said that American diplomats in Russia often appeared in anti-government demonstrations, and some people disguised themselves to hide their eyes and ears.

  Russian Foreign Minister LavrovThere was a famous incident. An American diplomat wore a wig and fake eyebrows. He wanted to enter the American Embassy in Russia, but refused to show his identity to the Russian police in charge of entrance control, and then he was beaten. It happened several times, and other American diplomats disguised themselves, including men disguised as women, and then recovered their true colors in public toilets. These were recorded.

Us media: the largest spy exchange between the United States and Russia after the Cold War in 2010

  In fact, the spy war between the United States and Russia has been going on. As early as 2010, there was the largest spy exchange event after the Cold War. In June 2010, the US Department of Justice announced that it had captured more than 10 Russian agents who had been lurking in the United States for a long time. The most striking of these agents is anna chapman, a "beauty spy" who was born in 1982 and has a master’s degree. According to the American side, Anna "curve immigrated" to the United States with her British husband, and successfully mingled with the upper class and had contacts with many political and diplomatic figures. It is reported that in exchange for these spies, Moscow released four "heavyweight" personnel who were held in Russia and allegedly provided information to the West, including a nuclear expert.

  Special commentator Teng JianqunAfter the end of the Cold War, the US-Russia spy war mainly focused on two levels. On the technical level, US technical reconnaissance against Russia has never stopped, and on the human intelligence level, US-Russia espionage and counter-espionage activities are still going on.
