    Minivan SUV! Toyota Used Cars Get a Makeover! VOXY URBANATURE” of the new service “CORDE by” is cool!

     CORDE by is a new service developed by Toyota Connick Pro, a company that provides marketing services, consulting, and mobility services for Toyota and the Toyota Group, etc. The new service offers “styled cars” that easily add a unique personality and style different from existing new cars and conventional custom cars. The first project was the “Land Car” project, which was developed by Toyota Conic Pro, a Toyota Conic Pro company that provides customizability services and other services.

     For the first project, the company collaborated with FLEX’s Renoca, which has gained popularity for its renovation of the Land Cruiser and Hiace, to develop a styled car that is in tune with the values of the current era.

     The concept of the new style is “Urban Nature,” a concept that is being developed in an age when diverse lifestyles such as work vacations and dual lifestyles are beginning to take root,
    Toyota Conic Pro and Renoca’s product development team pursued the question, “What should be the style of a car?

     The two models, “PRIUS URBANATURE” based on the Toyota Prius and “VOXY URBANATURE” based on the Toyota Voxy, have been developed in a style that is appropriate for the current era.

     One example of the Prius was created under the theme of “adding a scene-less ruggedness to the city-use character that is associated with the Prius.

     The body color of the base model is Urban Nature Gray, which blends in comfortably in both urban and natural environments, and the interior features calm dark brown leather seats.

     In addition, a THULE 859XT roof carrier, a popular car carrier brand among outdoor users, orthodox 5-spoke wheels, and MUDSTAR all-weather all-terrain tires were installed to create a rugged yet clean balance.

     The Voxy, for example, was created with the theme of “focusing on the utility that minivans originally have, and adding SUV-like strength.

     The base vehicle’s body color is Urban Nature Beige, which evokes a sense of gentleness in the city and strength in nature, and the interior is dark brown with leather seats for added comfort.

     It is made of highly durable ballistic nylon, which is safe for outdoor use, and the back seat pocket further enhances utility.

     Furthermore, orthodox 5-spoke wheels and MUDSTAR all-terrain tires give it a rugged SUV-like image.

     Both the Prius and Voxy have not been customized in terms of engine, transmission, and suspension, which are all related to the car’s basic driving performance.

     The Prius and Voxy will be sold on a build-to-order basis, with orders being accepted from March 6, 2022, through Toyota USEC’s new smart store, Chiba Minato Store.

     The online-based sales format is said to create a car lifestyle more suited to the current era in terms of the purchasing experience, from business negotiations to delivery of the car.

     Mitsuo Kawamura, brand director of Toyota Conic Pro, said, “CORDE by is a new way to bring together the diverse values and personalities of today’s consumers.

    In an age where diverse values and individuality are respected, we have always felt that there should be more choices in car selection and car life, just as there are in clothing.

     By taking advantage of high-quality used cars and updating them to match your current mood and style by adding a few touches, you can enjoy your car in your own style for a long time without measuring it by its specifications or functions.

     We hope to expand this way of enjoying cars with CORDE by.
     As the second stage of the CORDE by project, a product plan for Toyota’s “Hiace Styled Car” is said to be underway.

     Prior to the start of sales, an event will be held at Kashiwanoha T-SITE (Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture) on March 4 and 5, 2023, to see the actual PRIUS URBANATURE and VOXY URBANATURE cars.

    On June 15, Audi Japan announced the introduction of the e-tron Qualification Certification System to train specialists in electric vehicle (EV) sales.

    The automotive industry is undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation due to the shift to electrification. In line with this shift, EV sales are now required to have the ability to explain and make proposals in an easy-to-understand manner with comprehensive knowledge of unique charging mechanisms and subsidies.

The certification system consists of two levels: e-tron Sales Consultant and e-tron Specialist.

    The e-tron Sales Consultant certification is designed to provide the knowledge necessary to sell Audi’s e-tron EV and to be able to make accurate proposals to customers. It takes four to five months from the start of training to certification. The training includes in-depth knowledge of the product, charging and infrastructure, sales processes, and other EV-related topics, followed by an examination to confirm mastery and case studies. As Audi’s own qualification certification system, the development training started in May 2022.

    Meanwhile, the e-tron Specialist is a fixed-term qualification for qualified e-tron Sales Consultants, who, as EV experts and specialists who keep abreast of the latest information on the industry and systems, are responsible for providing guidance to e-tron Sales Consultants at each Audi e-tron store. He is also responsible for providing guidance to the e-tron sales consultants at each Audi e-tron store. The certification is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022, when the Q4 e-tron is scheduled to be introduced.

    Through the e-tron certification system, Audi Japan will build a strong sales structure as part of its electrification strategy, and as a premium EV brand, Audi Japan will strengthen its support system to enable customers to purchase and own Audi EVs with peace of mind.

    The roof opens! See the over 10 million yen ultra-luxury “Osha Interior” Hilux Camper in pictures .

    The new “BR75” based on the Toyota “Hilux

     The new BR75 announced at the Japan Camper Show is based on the current model of Toyota’s Hilux pickup truck, which debuted in 2017 and underwent a minor change in 2020.

     The BR75, which is based on the Hilux, is a cab-conversion model with living space in the cargo bed, and is described as a camper in the new “SUV ADVENTURE CAMPER” category.

     The concept is a “secret base for adults. It is said to have been designed to be an adventurous SUV camper that takes you to new destinations.

     The exterior design was designed with an eye to blending in with the urban environment, and the base of the HILUX, with its styling familiar to a wide range of users, is used to create a silhouette that flows from the front section, which has an active look and feel.

     While the passenger space from the front to the rear doors retains the appearance of the Hilux, the living area in the cargo area has a rounded design and is a high-roof type with living space above the roof of the Hilux.

     In addition, a large gate in the center of the rear section opens to a shower room with a waterproof pan for washing off dirty tools. The shower room is separated from the living area by a sliding door.

     In addition, an outdoor unit for a household air conditioner can be mounted in the undergarment at the lower rear, allowing a household air conditioner to be installed inside the cabin for a comfortable temperature.

     The interior of the HiLux is cut off from the rear of the roof to the rear window, allowing access between the living area and passenger space.

     The retractable roof top can be opened to increase the interior height, which is high enough for an adult to stand and walk.

     The bench seat and table can be used as a bed when retracted, and a semi-double-size “pull-down bed” is provided in the bunk section (high roof section).

     Equipment includes a lithium-ion battery and household air conditioning, and optional items such as solar panels and side awnings will also be available.

     The price (including consumption tax) of the new BR75 is 12,450,000 yen for the BR75-G, based on the Hilux Z-GR Sport grade, and 10,980,000 yen for the BR75-Z, based on the Z grade.
