What is Toyota New Global Architecture?

TNGA does not simply refer to the platform, but to the system and policies for car manufacturing that include all processes, such as planning, development, procurement, production preparation, and production, based on user feedback.

TNGA will achieve “making ever-better cars” by implementing the following four cycles:.

  1. Improved basic performance
  2. Grouping development for intelligent sharing of parts and units
  3. Cooperate with suppliers to reduce costs
  4. Product Appeal Improvement

TNGA-adopted vehicles

The TNGA platform was gradually adopted by Toyota’s various models, starting with the new Prius, which went on sale on December 9, 2015. The new Camry, which went on sale on July 10, 2017, was the first to adopt TNGA for the entire powertrain, etc. Since then, as of 2024, it can be seen that almost all models, including overseas models, have adopted TNGA.

What is TNGA actually?

I often hear about the TNGA platform, but is it really that different? I often hear that, but the conclusion is completely different. As an example of a different car model, as I mentioned above, I have purchased a model that transitioned from the third generation “Prius” to the fourth generation “Prius” TNGA platform, and a model that transitioned from the third generation “Harrier” to the fourth generation “Harrier” TNGA platform, so the ease of driving and the shaking of curves are completely different before and after the change to TNGA .

If you are not currently driving a Toyota vehicle that uses the TNGA platform, I urge you to try driving a TNGA vehicle, any model, at least once. You will definitely be able to see the difference.

What is TNGA actually like?

I often hear about the TNGA platform, but is it really that different? I often hear this, but the conclusion is completely different. This is an example of a different car model, but as I mentioned above, the author used the TNGA platform model from the 3rd generation Prius to the 4th generation Prius, and the TNGA platform model from the 3rd generation Harrier to the 4th generation Harrier . I have purchased a model that has been changed to TNGA, so the ease of driving and the blurring on curves are completely different between before and after changing to TNGA .

If you are not currently driving a Toyota vehicle that uses the TNGA platform, please take a look at any model that uses the TNGA platform. You’ll definitely notice the difference.
