Long regarded as Japan\u2019s ultimate luxury vehicle, the Century has traditionally been reserved for business leaders, government officials, and other high-profile clients who value discretion over flashy displays of wealth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">That reputation carried over to the new Century SUV, which launched as Toyota\u2019s flagship utility vehicle. Positioned above anything sold under the Lexus brand in Japan, the chauffeur-focused SUV combines advanced hybrid technology with an exceptionally luxurious interior designed around rear-seat comfort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">In its home market, the Century SUV is already an expensive vehicle. Starting at around $170,000 in Japan, it competes with premium offerings from Bentley, Range Rover, and Mercedes-Maybach while maintaining Toyota\u2019s distinctly understated approach to luxury.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center justify-center\" id=\"_R_28qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_28qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_28qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-body hidden dark:bg-ramones md:block\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex hidden w-full items-center justify-center\" id=\"_R_48qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_\">\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_48qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {\n        #_R_48qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\"><a data-ylk=\"slk:One example currently listed for sale in Russia;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;One example currently listed for sale in Russia&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/auto.ru\/cars\/used\/sale\/toyota\/century\/1131879809-b0b17311\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">One example currently listed for sale in Russia<\/a>, however, takes exclusivity to an entirely different level. A lightly used 2024 Century SUV has appeared at a Moscow dealership with an asking price equivalent to approximately $737,000, making it one of the most expensive Toyota-badged vehicles currently offered anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">A Huge Markup Over Japanese Pricing<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;expand&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;image-lightbox&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;lightbox-open&quot;}\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1 line-clamp-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Image Credit: Toyota.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The vehicle was listed by Royal Motors Club in Moscow and shows just over 1,300 miles on the odometer. According to the listing, the SUV remains in near-new condition and has been protected with a full-body paint protection film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">At 52.9 million rubles, the asking price works out to roughly $737,000 at current exchange rates. That represents a markup of more than four times the vehicle\u2019s original Japanese market pricing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The extraordinary premium has little to do with the Century itself and much more to do with the realities of Russia\u2019s current automotive market. Since many Western automakers have suspended official operations in the country, luxury vehicles often arrive through parallel import channels that involve additional transportation costs, import complexities, and middlemen seeking substantial profits.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">Toyota&#8217;s Most Luxurious SUV<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">While the price may seem shocking, the Century SUV remains one of the most sophisticated vehicles Toyota has ever produced.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_2qqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_2qqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_2qqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Unlike previous Century sedans that were powered by large V12 engines, the SUV uses a plug-in hybrid powertrain built around a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with electric motors. Combined output is rated at approximately 406 horsepower, while Toyota\u2019s E-Four Advanced all-wheel-drive system handles power delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">A battery pack also allows for limited all-electric driving, giving the massive luxury SUV a level of efficiency its predecessors could never match.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">Rear Seat Comfort Takes Priority<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Toyota Century SUV.\" width=\"976\" height=\"549\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/lo\/mysterio\/api\/ae92b78d1e545b33867238a34a4c241905cc72ca27bf7333c37d3cae382d84b9\/lightyear_networkapi\/resizefill_w976;quality_80;format_webp\/https:%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fguessing_headlights_178%2F5eefe33925b1545c7d314470c76b26d4\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;expand&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;image-lightbox&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;lightbox-open&quot;}\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] mt-1 line-clamp-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Image Credit: Toyota.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The real focus of the Century SUV is what happens behind the driver. Toyota designed the cabin around rear-seat passengers, replacing the traditional three-person bench with two highly adjustable executive chairs. These seats feature heating, ventilation, massage functions, and power-operated ottomans designed to create a first-class travel experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Passengers also benefit from dedicated entertainment screens, folding tables, four-zone climate control, and premium audio equipment. Acoustic insulation is a major priority, with thick glass and extensive sound-deadening materials helping create an exceptionally quiet cabin.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_38qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_38qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_38qnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">The example listed in Russia also includes luxury touches such as electrochromic rear windows, a panoramic roof, power-deploying side steps, Alcantara headliner trim, and a glass partition separating the passenger compartment from the cargo area.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">Exclusivity Has Become Part Of The Appeal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Toyota builds the Century SUV in very limited numbers, reportedly producing only around 30 examples per month. That rarity alone makes the vehicle difficult to obtain outside Japan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">In markets where official sales channels do not exist, exclusivity can become just as important as the vehicle itself. For wealthy buyers seeking something far less common than a Bentley Bentayga or Range Rover, the Century offers a level of rarity few luxury SUVs can match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">Whether anyone will actually pay nearly three-quarters of a million dollars for this particular example remains to be seen. Even so, the listing serves as a remarkable example of how supply constraints, import complications, and exclusivity can dramatically inflate the value of an already rare vehicle.<\/p>\n<div class=\"col-fullbleed mb-4 bg-marshmallow pb-5 dark:bg-ramones md:invisible md:mb-0 md:h-0 md:overflow-hidden md:pb-0\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-nowrap justify-center\">\n<div class=\"flex\" id=\"_R_3kqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><![CDATA[#_R_3kqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: none; }\n@media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) {\n        #_R_3kqnclckluaiv5tmlbH1_ { display: flex; }\n        iframe { max-width: 100vw; }\n      }]]><\/style>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\">For perspective, the asking price places this Toyota firmly in the same territory as exotic supercars and ultra-luxury flagship sedans. That may sound absurd for a Toyota badge, but the Century has never been an ordinary Toyota.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 min-w-0 leading-7 break-words md:leading-8 col-body text-[18px] charcoal-color\"><em>If you want more stories like this, follow <\/em><a data-ylk=\"slk:Guessing Headlights;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Guessing Headlights&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>Guessing Headlights<\/em><\/strong><\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:on;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em> on <\/em><\/a><a data-ylk=\"slk:Yahoo;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Yahoo&quot;,&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/guessingheadlights.com\/6d27\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong><em>Yahoo<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em> so you don\u2019t miss what\u2019s coming next.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/autos.yahoo.com\/new-vehicles-and-reviews\/articles\/lightly-used-2024-toyota-century-200050472.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Toyota Century occupies a unique place in the automotive world.
