The model underestimated two centimeters of the suspension and other wheel - 245/40R19. So for fans of sports cars will fit this version, which looks like a solid sports car, and the roads certainly attracts attention.

The Appearance of the sports version

Toyota Mark X 2004 looked good. But even better – version new 2012. Especially sports. About its design I would like to tell you more. The first thing the eye catches an aggressive bumper with big air intake and aerodynamic overlays on thresholds. Also attracts the attention of a spoiler located on the trunk lid, and a striking rear bumper with a large diffuser and a specially-made bumper in the side slits for ventilation. It should be noted attention to sports exhaust system with dual tailpipes that are posted on the sides of the body.

Exterior “civil” version

Nice to have a Toyota Mark X tuning. Rather – its sporty look. What came out normal, "civil" version? It does not look as energetic and aggressive. But it's not a bad thing. Because the design of this model is amazing-beautiful, stylish, chic, elegant. The front part of the developers performed a very original – was equipped with its sophisticated headlamps (led by combining double strokes with xenon) and a design radiator grille with a logo “X” in determining the model. In addition, they decided to make chrome inserts, embedded in the box fog lights, give the front bumper spoiler and air intake – trapezoid.

Interestingly, the figure formed by the grille and lower air duct, successfully resonates with the so-called spindle machines Lexus. Only “Toyota", unlike this car, looks very simple. Beautiful hood if it rises above the front wings, and its edges are unobtrusively connected with the wheel arches, completing this wonderful image.

Interior

What this the inside of the car, also need to talk. The interior of this model is large and spacious and are decorated in a classic style. The front seats are made by special technology – they have a sporty profile and comfortable roller side support. The driver's seat is adjustable in eight directions, and a passenger – in 4 (but to people sitting in the cabin, more is needed). If you remove the front seat headrests and backrest to tilt back, you get two quite a full-fledged places for healthy sleep.

The steering Wheel is very comfortable, by the way, Prado. Well decorated and trial panel. On the centre console you can see a wide color display on 8 inches. It – multimedia system combined with navigation and climate control (or rather, a means of control it all).

It is Also worth noting that the basic “Toyota mark X 2013” is offered seat covers of cloth, but in the “rich” – finishing of high quality leather, and a pretty solid equipment. That is a great sound system (12 speakers in the cabin!), electric steering column and front mirrors, heated steering wheel and seats, as well as pleasing to the eye of metal and wooden parts.

Toyota Mark X-technical specifications new car

For this sedan was designed by two engines. First – V6, a volume of 2.5 liters, generating capacity of 203 horsepower. And the second – 3.5-liter GR-FSE. It – a more powerful version which produces of the order of 318 horsepower! These aggregates under the control of a 6-speed sequential manual “machine”. For that version, which is equipped with a 2.5-liter unit may be offered all-wheel drive. What about the suspension – it is completely independent. In General, the components of the model are good. The car has everything you need – VSC, ABS, EBD, cruise control, Pre-Crash and many other system, positively affecting the machine control and in General its characteristics.

Speaking of handling. People who own this car, note this nuance attention. They say that a brand new sedan from Toyota in this regard never ceases to delight. On the rider reacts quickly and sensitively, with twists and turns to cope with the bumps, too, instantly smoothing them. Even if the driver is travelling on a bad road, the car did not feel it. Of course, this is not an SUV, so the mountains and the stones on it to drive will fail, but with the Russian "trails" can handle easily.

Cost

And finally, one more point about a car such as the Toyota Mark X. the Price – that too is important. The cost of this car in Japan starts with 2 440 000 yen. It – about 32 thousand dollars (the sum specified together with mandatory tax). This price is established now on a front wheel drive car with a 2.5-liter engine that produces 203 horsepower (mentioned above). The basic package – that is, there is no luxury like leather interior and optional extras should be expected. But the more expensive solid modification can cost over 50 thousand dollars (also tax). But the price for the 3.5-liter 318-horsepower version, and still richly equipped, will justify a purchase. So if you have the ability and desire to purchase this car, you should not lose the chance.
