Has there been a concept similar to “X-VAN GEAR CONCEPT” for a long time? !

A concept similar to the “X-VAN GEAR CONCEPT” has existed for some time, and the “Tj CRUISER” was officially announced at the 45th Tokyo Motor Show 2017 from October 27th to November 5th, 2017, and the 2018 Los Angeles Motor Show. But it was published.

It has a square cabin and high utility like a VAN, but it also combines the solid suspension with large diameter tires typical of an SUV and a powerful front view. In this way, we have created a new genre that combines the best of both VAN and SUV. The bonnet, roof, and fenders are made of care-free material (reinforced paint) that resists scratches and dirt even when items are placed on it.

This concept model incorporates elements of an SUV and a minivan, but has not yet been realized.

It seems very likely that it will be equipped with the same inline-4 DOHC 1.8L+ motor (series parallel hybrid with reduction mechanism) as the Noah Voxy. Furthermore, considering that the X-VAN can be used in environments where a high output engine is advantageous, such as when driving on rough roads, the inline 4 DOHC 2.0L+ motor (series parallel with reduction mechanism) used in the new Prius has been adopted. By adopting a hybrid system, a high-output engine and motor are used, contributing to driving performance and fuel efficiency. The maximum system output is 144kW (193PS) , which is reassuring when installed in a minivan of this size.

About the safety equipment of the new “X-VAN”

The new “X-VAN (Cross Van)” uses the latest safety system “Toyota Safety Sense” and is newly equipped with “Proactive Driving Assist,” “Advanced Park,” and “Advanced Drive (assistance during traffic jams)” functions. It is expected that

The next generation Toyota Safety Sense will be standard on all models. The latest “Collision Avoidance Support Type Pre-Crash Safety” has achieved further functional enhancements. This includes detection at intersections, acceleration suppression functions at low speeds, and steering avoidance support functions in emergencies. Equipped with pedestrian detection function, this system uses millimeter-wave radar and cameras to detect vehicles and pedestrians in front of the vehicle, and uses warnings, brake assist, and automatic braking to assist in collision avoidance and reduce damage. Automatic braking operates in the speed range of 10 to 80 km/h for pedestrians, and provides appropriate deceleration depending on the speed difference. It also operates in a wide range of speeds, from 10 km/h to the maximum speed, and can decelerate stopped vehicles at high speeds. Furthermore, functions such as “low-speed acceleration suppression function,” “detection of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when turning right at an intersection,” and “emergency steering avoidance support function” have been added.

  1. At low speeds, the low speed acceleration suppression function detects pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles directly in front of the vehicle and suppresses acceleration.
  2. It can also detect oncoming vehicles when turning right at an intersection, as well as pedestrians crossing from the opposite direction when turning left or right.
  3. An emergency steering avoidance support function that assists steering in response to the driver’s avoidance steering during an emergency.

Road Sign Assist (RSA)  has expanded the range of detection targets, and also reads major traffic signs on the side of the road, such as “Speed ​​Limit,” “Stop,” “No Entry,” and “No Extending,” and displays them on the instrument panel.

A Lane Departure Alert (LDA)  camera recognizes white and yellow lines in the driving lane, and if a possibility of lane departure is detected, a buzzer and display alert the driver to avoid collisions caused by lane departure. support.

Leading vehicle departure notification function  If you stop following a vehicle in front while waiting at a traffic light or in traffic jams, and remain there without noticing that the vehicle in front has started, you will be notified with a buzzer and a display.

An automatic high beam (AHB)  camera detects the headlights of an oncoming vehicle or the taillights of a vehicle in front, and automatically switches between high and low beams to reduce dazzling to drivers of other vehicles and ensure forward visibility at night. support.

Radar cruise control  Radar cruise control uses millimeter-wave radar to detect the distance between the vehicle in front and the vehicle in front, and adjusts the speed to match the speed of the vehicle in front within a set vehicle speed, allowing the vehicle to follow the vehicle while maintaining a constant distance. Adopted. Lane changes by the vehicle in front are detected using millimeter wave radar and cameras, achieving smoother acceleration and deceleration control. Aiming for “zero traffic fatalities and injuries,” which is the ultimate wish of a mobility society, Toyota researches and develops various safety equipment and systems based on the “Integrated Safety Concept” and is committed to “developing safer vehicles and technologies.” At the same time, we are strengthening a wide range of initiatives for traffic safety through “participation in improving the traffic environment” and “traffic safety awareness activities for people.”

Lane Tracing Assist (LTA)  Lexus Lane Tracing Assist [LTA] installed in the new LS series is adopted for the first time in the next generation Toyota Safety Sense P. When driving on a highway or expressway, turning on the Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) switch when the radar cruise control is activated will provide steering support necessary to maintain lane.

Intelligent Clearance Sonar (Parking Support Brake Stationary) A system that helps reduce damage by mitigating collisions caused by pressing the accelerator incorrectly or pressing too hard. A function has been added to the Clearance Sonar, which uses a display and a buzzer to alert you when you are approaching a stationary object when driving in a garage, etc., to reduce the risk of contact with a stationary object. Sonar also detects windows such as convenience stores. When driving at low speeds (15 km/h or less), if a stationary object is detected in the direction of travel, the hybrid system output is suppressed and the brakes are automatically applied when the distance further decreases.

Emergency brake signal (hazard lamp flashing type) When you apply sudden brakes, the hazard lamp flashes automatically.

Lane Tracing Assist [LTA] system for responding to driver abnormalities. If the driver remains inactive during control, a sound, display, and slow deceleration warning will prompt the driver to take action, and a hazard and horn will alert the driver to abnormalities outside the vehicle. The vehicle decelerates and stops within the vehicle’s own lane while alerting the driver, helping to avoid accidents that cause injury or damage to the vehicle, and reduce accident damage.

Digital interior mirror Images from a camera attached to the rear of the vehicle are displayed on the rearview mirror.

Advanced Park Remote function allows you to back up to the target parking position confirmed on the screen or exit from parallel parking by using the screen display, voice and buzzer to guide you, and by controlling the steering wheel, shift position, accelerator and brakes. assist. Additionally, a dedicated smartphone app is available, allowing you to park remotely from outside the vehicle.

Panoramic View Monitor (360° Monitor) This  allows you to see areas that are hard to reach, such as diagonally behind or directly to the side of the car, allowing you to quickly spot obstacles.
