Was the last Reiz model produced in 2017?

The last Reiz model was discontinued in September 2017. Here is some information about the Reiz: 1. The Reiz (REIZ) is the domestic name for the Japanese Toyota MARK-X model. It began production in October 2005 at the Tianjin FAW Toyota Plant No. 2, sharing the production line and chassis with the Crown, and equipped with the same six-speed automatic transmission as the Crown. Production ceased in September 2017, with a total of 528,188 units produced. 2. The facelifted Reiz by FAW Toyota features significant exterior changes compared to the current model. The new model measures 4750mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. This is slightly longer than the current model's dimensions of 4735mm/1795mm/1450mm, while the wheelbase remains unchanged. 3. Compared to the current model, the facelifted Reiz features a completely redesigned front headlights, front grille, and front bumper, with LED elements integrated into the headlight assembly. The rear changes focus on the new taillight design, with fang-like outlines that enhance the visual impact. 4. In terms of powertrain, the facelifted Reiz continues to use the current 2.5L and 3.0L engines, while the 3.5L engine available in overseas models will not be introduced. The transmission remains a six-speed automatic gearbox.

I have a particularly deep impression of the Reiz because I sold my own Reiz a few years ago, which was the 2017 model. Later, I heard that Toyota discontinued the Reiz series after 2017. I bought it mainly because of its rear-wheel-drive engine design, which made driving exceptionally stable, especially the smoothness on highways. However, the market has now shifted towards energy-efficient models, and the Reiz was gradually phased out due to its higher fuel consumption. I still remember the official announcement stating that the production line was completely halted by the end of 2017 to comply with the China VI emission standards and adjust the product lineup. If you're looking for a used car, the 2017 model is the last batch, and the quality is still good, but you need to pay attention to checking the chassis for rust to avoid buying a flood-damaged car. I miss the driving pleasure it brought, and after its discontinuation, many people turned to the Camry or Lexus.

As a long-time fan of the Reiz, I think this topic is worth discussing. The Reiz gained popularity when it entered the Chinese market in 2005, featuring a V6 engine, spacious rear seating, and rear-wheel-drive performance that car enthusiasts loved. 2017 was indeed its final production year, after which Toyota officially announced its discontinuation, likely due to declining sales amid the rise of hybrid trends. I discussed this in car enthusiast circles back then, and while there were some misconceptions about it being 2018, checking official sources and vehicle databases confirmed it ended in 2017. The discontinuation didn’t significantly impact used car prices—some high-spec models even appreciated. If you’re looking to buy one now, focus on the 2017 model’s maintenance records, as discontinued parts may be scarce, and ensure a professional inspection for peace of mind.

I know the Mark X (Reiz) was discontinued in 2017. It's considered a classic in Toyota's lineup, featuring strong rear-wheel-drive performance but relatively high fuel consumption, which led to its discontinuation due to environmental policy adjustments by the manufacturer. After production ceased, the supply of used cars remained quite stable. For the 2017 model, you might pay a slightly higher price compared to previous generations due to its limited quantity and superior quality. Remember to check the wiring and engine to avoid aging issues.

From a family car perspective, the Toyota Mark X (Reiz) was indeed discontinued in 2017. When I was considering a car change, I researched that the 2017 model had good rear seat comfort, making it suitable for family trips. However, Toyota later introduced more hybrid models like the Camry to replace it. After discontinuation, maintenance costs slightly increased, so I'd recommend prioritizing 2016-2017 models if buying used. As a practical consumer, I don't regret the passing of the Reiz era since there are now more new energy vehicle options available.
