Toyota Mark X

Instead of being based on a modified Supra chassis "A" series platform, the Mark X shares its platform with the Toyota "S" series platform used under the Crown and Lexus GS. The continuation of describing this vehicle as the "X" series is a reference to the first dedicated Mark II platform introduced in 1972. Major changes to the Mark series are the engine and footwork. Toyota discontinued the inline-six engines used in the Verossa which included the JZ series and the G series engines, and went to the newly developed GR series engine. Either the 4GR-FSE or the 3GR-FSE engine options were available. It was only available at Toyopet Store Japanese locations to position it as a top-level luxury car. The previous top-level car was the Toyota Celsior, which now assumed the more internationally known Lexus LS and was exclusive to Japanese Lexus dealerships. Both engines offer Dual VVT-i with D-4 direct injection. The rear-wheel-drive models have a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox as standard, and the iFour four-wheel drive models have a 5-speed automatic. No manual transmission options were offered. A first in its class is the rear bumper with an integrated exhaust outlet, which later moved to the corresponding model year Lexus LS series and the Crown. An LED lighting system is built into the headliner, running from front to rear, and also extends to the footwells, doors, gear lever, and key area. The lighting patterns and intensity of this system can be used to create different lighting schemes for different situations. Minor changes were made in 2006. Mirror-mounted indicators replaced the wing-mounted units, taillamps were revised, and the grille was redesigned. Mark X, with a black interior colour, deleted the wood trim in favour of the brushed aluminium trim. This change also formalised the introduction of the "S package," which gains the three-spoke steering wheel and changes to the exterior lip piece. In 2007, for Japanese models only, G-BOOK, a subscription telematics service, was offered as an option. The former Kanto Auto Works produced the Mark X from November 2004 to September 2006. 2004 Toyota Mark-X 02.jpg|2004 Mark X (Japan) 2006 Toyota Mark-X 01.jpg|2006 Mark X (Japan) 2006 Toyota Mark-X 02.jpg|2006 Mark X (Japan) MarkXinterior.jpg|Interior China The Chinese market Reiz is sold in 2.5 S, 2.5 V and 3.0 V Premium trim levels with 2.5 L (2,497 cc) 5GR-FE and 3.0 L (2,995 cc) 3GR-FE engines.
