What Are the Parallel Import Toyota Models?

[DeBrayden]

Toyota parallel import models include the Land Cruiser Prado, Toyota Fortuner, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Toyota Land Cruiser LC series, and Toyota 4Runner (US and Canadian versions). Below is more information about parallel import vehicles: 1. Parallel import vehicles, fully known as parallel trade import vehicles and abbreviated as parallel trade cars, refer to vehicles purchased by traders from overseas markets and introduced into the Chinese market for sale without authorization from the brand manufacturer. Depending on the import source, they can be categorized as "US-spec cars," "Middle East-spec cars," "Canadian-spec cars," or "European-spec cars," distinguishing them from "China-spec cars" sold through authorized channels. 2. Parallel import vehicles have advantages in terms of model availability and delivery time. When new vehicles are launched overseas, they may not be immediately available in China due to the automaker's strategic planning or domestic certification processes. However, parallel import vehicles naturally excel in this aspect—they can be freely purchased overseas and then shipped to China for sale, significantly reducing the waiting time for new models.
