Popular models Toyota. The lineup. Fitness to Russian conditions

Mallated its 80th anniversary. Cars of this brand are currently the most sold in the world, and Brand Toyota is the world leader of the entire automotive industry. What is the secret of the Japanese automotive company? Unfortunately, it is impossible to answer this question. Naturally, the secret lies in the production of this brand. For a long history of the Japanese company, a lot of stunning cars were issued, some of whom became bestsellers. We offer you a selection of Toyota's best cars thanks to which everyone will find an answer to the question of why Toyota cars have been best sold in all world car markets for a long time.

Why began the story of Toyota? Let's start from the very beginning. In 1924, Sakichi Toyoda invented an automatic weaving machine and created his company, which was called, "Toyoda Automatic Loom Works". Thanks to the innovative in the invention, the company began to receive good profits.

In 1929, Sakichi Toyoda sold a patent to a weaving machine. It was necessary to finance the new division for the production of cars and trucks, which created the eldest son Sakychi Toyoda.

Having received the money from Sakichi Toyoda focused on creating first cars. But their first prototypes were shown only in 1935. And in 1936 the first serial model appeared.

On August 27, the car unit "Toyoda Automatic Loom Works" was allocated to a separate company that received the name "Toyota Motor Company", which was headed by Kiitiro Toyoda (the eldest son Sakychi Toyoda).

Since then, the Japanese company has been producing automotive products, which eventually became the world's best-selling at present. From the moment of its foundation, Toyota produced 250,000,000 cars. In a historic scale, Toyota is today the second car brand in the total volume of production in the entire history of the automotive industry. For its 80-year-old history from under the company Toyota, several more individual auto-brands came out, for example, such well-known car brand as now non-existent- scion.

Today Toyota is still the largest manufacturer of hybrid cars in the world. In addition, Toyota has a reputation as a manufacturer of superdendum and high-quality cars. The Japanese brand was able to optimize its production so much that the ratio of price and quality in Toyota's new cars today is one of the best in the world. Perhaps this is the main secret of the success of the Japanese automotive brand.

Toyota AA (1936)

The first car of the Japanese brand became the model AA first presented in 1936. The car was equipped with a 3.4-liter six-cylinder engine. The debut of the car was held at the exhibition in Tokyo. Together with this model, the version in the body of a convertible, which had an alphabetic designation "AV" was presented.

It was certainly successful before its production. The car not only liked the public, but also failed to the Government of Japan, which decided to allocate money on the development of the production of Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. This is exactly what led to the appearance of the Toyota brand and to the further construction of the company's first auto plants.

Toyota AE (1939)

In 1939, the second model Toyota AE was published. While the Toyota Aa design was based on the Chrysler Airflow, the Toyota AE design was inspired by the Volvo PV60 model. Toyota AE was equipped with a four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 45 hp

Toyota SA (1949)

Until the mid-1960s, at most world markets, Toyota sold their cars under the Toyopet brand. The first post-war car of the Japanese company became Toyota SA, which was equipped with a four-cylinder engine. A total of 215 cars were released. But despite the small series, this model became a template for future small Toyota small races, which in the future were produced in large quantities.

Toyota BJ / Land Cruiser (1953)

In 1953, the Toyota BJ SUV appears on the market, which in the year was renamed Land Cruiser. This was done as an answer to an SUV, which released Land Rover.

In 1955, Toyota presented the second generation. Today, we want to recall, Land Cruiser is one of the most reliable and popular SUVs in the world. By the way, this car is produced today in the ninth generation.

Toyota Crown (1955)

Toyota Crown has very important importance for Toyota. The case is next. This model was from the very first, which began to be sold at the American car market. Initially, this car was sold in the US under the brand-toyopet.

The first versions of the TOYOTA CROWN car were equipped with 1.4-liter engines. In 1960, cars received 1.8-liter power units.

Today, this model is still serially produced in its 14th generation. For collectors, the most valued cars of the 4th generation, which were produced from 1971 to 1974 (in the photo).

Toyota Corona (1957)

In 1957, the first Toyota Corona appeared on the market - a small family car, which paved the path for the most popular in the company's history and for the model.

Toyota Corona has become the first Japanese car, which began to be supplied to Europe. Including in the UK. Toyota Corona changed 11 generations and produced until 2001. True, in the most recent years, these cars were delivered only to the domestic market in Japan.

Toyota Publica (1961)

Already in 1954, Toyota began to develop a new economy machine for the domestic market. But such a model appeared on the market only in 1961. She became Toyota Publica. This car received a two-cylinder engine with air-cooled.

In 1962, Toyota decided to start exporting the model to world markets. True, export cars have already been equipped with 1.0-liter engines.

Toyota Sports 800 (1965)

Toyota showed her first sports car in 1962, which received the name Toyota Publica Sports. The car was equipped with a powerful 2.0-liter engine and had a power of 69 hp. In 1965, the car went into production called Toyota Sports 800. The car's capacity was only 45 hp

Toyota Corolla (1966)

Probably there are no such car enthusiasts in the world who would not know or have heard of Toyota Corolla. This model first came to the market back in 1966 and is still produced in its 11th generation already !!!

Do you still know any other model that would have been produced so long on the car market in different generations?

For 51 years of its existence, Toyota released more than 40,000,000 "Corolla". The most interesting thing is that the popularity of this model still does not fall. This is the best-selling car of the Japanese company in our time.

Toyota 2000 GT (1967)

The most valuable car for collectors will always be the 2000 GT model, which was first shown back in 1965. Serial production of sports car began in 1967. We want to remind you who do not remember or does not know that this model has been used in the shooting when creating a film about James Bond- "live only twice." But despite the shooting, this car in those years has not gained popularity. The car was very expensive. In total, 351 pcs were released. It is for this reason that this model today represents a huge whole world.

Sporter was equipped with a 150-strong engine. This was enough to accelerate to a speed of 217 km / h.

Toyota Century (1967)

Was produced from 1967 to 1997. The car was equipped with a 3.0-liter V8 engine, which was further upgraded to a 3,4-liter power unit, and then in a 4.0-liter motor.

In 1997, a brand new Century appeared on the market with a 5.0-liter V12 engine. The car was created mainly for the domestic market. In Japan, this machine takes the same level as Lexus Ls.

Toyota Hi-Lux (1968)

In 2018, the SUV will celebrate its half-century anniversary. The fact is that this Picap-SUV is still produced in its 8th generation. The secret of its popularity lies in reliability and passability. This car has become indispensable for those who do not like asphalt roads or for those who live in regions where asphalt roads can only be observed on TV.

Toyota Celica (1970)

If you carefully look at the Toyota Celica of 1970, then you can certainly notice the similarity with the car. Apparently, Celica designers were strongly inspired by the design and style of an American sports car.

But despite the explicit imitation, Toyota managed to prove to everyone that she also knows how to make cars for their functionality no worse than other manufacturers.

Serial production of Toyota Celica was completed in 2006 (at that time the 7th generation was already produced). A total of 4,000,000 cars were released.

Toyota Camry (1982)

Camry sedan has long been the most sold cars, and not only in the North America market. This model from the very beginning is in great demand for many car markets. Recall that because of the rigid conditions for importing cars in the United States, Toyota opened the serial production of Toyota Camry, back in 1988, in the states of Kentucky and Georgetown, USA. Naturally, all this led to a decrease in vacation prices for cars. It provoked an avalanche demand for sedan in the United States. As a result, since 1997 and in 2016, was the best-selling car in America.

The secret of the popularity of the sedan in its reliability and in value. Today, many global automotive companies are striving for today. But, at a ratio of price / quality / reliability, Toyota has yet been able to get around.

Toyota Corolla AE86 (1984)

Also produced under the brand name Corolla GT. This is a three-door coupe with rear-wheel drive, it was equipped with a 1.6-liter engine that was installed in MR2.

Toyota Mr2 (1984)

When in 1984, Toyota launched his two-seated two-having "mortar", it was a breath of air for fans of inexpensive sports cars. Yes, of course on the market at the time there were rivals, such as such cars like, Honda CR-X, Mazda RX-7 and even Caterham Seven, but Toyota MR2, according to many experts, has already exceeded competitors in all of their parameters.

Toyota Supra (1986)

In 1986, the legendary sports model of Toyota Supra in 201 hp was introduced to the market. Unfortunately, the mass production of this sports car stopped in 2002. The last model of the car has already power 320 hp This allowed the machine to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in 5 seconds.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) is the world's largest Japanese automotive corporation, which is part of the Toyota financial and industrial group.

The first Toyota car appeared in 1936 and was called Model AA. The history of the company began in 1935, then at the Toyoda Automatic Loom Works plant, which was engaged in the creation of machine tools for the textile industry, it was decided to create its own branch for the production of cars on American technology.
