mpvs without side sliding doors are all rogues. i believe most car enthusiasts have heard this. however, have you ever seen a car that is not an mpv but also equipped with electric side sliding doors? out of curiosity, jiang ge recently collected relevant information and found that there are indeed two models on the market. although they are positioned as suvs, they are both equipped with electric side sliding doors. however, one is only a little over 100,000 yuan, while the other is as high as one million yuan. who are they? let's take a look today.

1. toyota century suv

starting price: about 1.24 million yuan

in the past, toyota century has always been presented as a luxury executive sedan. but in september last year, toyota launched the century suv, which is positioned as a flagship suv. the new car is sold in limited quantities, with a limit of 30 units per month, and the starting price is about 25 million yen, which is about 1.24 million yuan in rmb.

in terms of appearance, toyota century suv adopts the iconic phoenix logo, the left and right headlights adopt a split design, and the four l-shaped daytime running lights look quite impressive. the biggest highlight of the new car is that it provides a version with rear electric sliding doors.

however, unlike mpv models with sliding doors, there is no track for the sliding doors of mpv models on the rear fender of century suv. century suv uses two upper and lower door hinges and two movable joints to achieve nearly horizontal opening of the door, allowing rear passengers to get on and off the car more elegantly.

in addition, the century suv's rear seats can be folded down to 77 degrees, and each seat has an independent display and control screen, providing both a comfortable and intelligent experience.

in terms of power, the toyota century suv uses a plug-in hybrid system consisting of a 3.5l v6 engine + electric motor. the system has a total power of 303kw, a pure electric range of 69km, is equipped with an e-four four-wheel drive system, and a wltc comprehensive fuel consumption of 14.2l/100km.

2. arctic fox koala s

suggested price: rmb 109,800-119,800

some time ago, polar fox launched the koala s model, which is positioned as an "suv with sliding doors". as a new member of the polar fox koala series, the koala s is actually consistent with the current koala model, which is positioned as a compact mpv, in terms of vehicle design and chassis. it can be said to be an mpv model in suv clothing.

koala s inherits the design of koala's electric side sliding door. the side sliding door with an opening of 650mm and a 340mm low step board allow users to get on and off the vehicle easily.

as a pure electric vehicle, the koala s is equipped with a 58.8 kwh ningde era lithium iron phosphate battery pack as standard, with a cltc range of 500 kilometers. in terms of power, it is equipped with a front motor with a maximum power of 120 kw, a peak torque of 240 n·m, and a maximum speed of 160 km/h.

summary

regarding car doors, many new domestic brands have proposed various solutions, such as the gull-wing doors of haobo ht and the nt door system of hiphi, but the marketing gimmicks are generally greater than the practicality. however, many consumers still recognize the practicality of sliding doors, but there seems to be no typical case in china for the layout of suvs. what do you think of such a design?
