What brand is the car with the X logo?
2 Answers
The car using the X logo is the Mark-X under Toyota, which is the prototype of the domestic Toyota Reiz (REIZ). Here is the relevant information: 1. The Mark-X is actually the tenth-generation model of the Mark 2, which should have been called the Mark 2-X, but Toyota renamed it as part of a complete redesign of the Mark 2. The domestic model Reiz (REIZ) takes its name from German, meaning 'charm' and 'stimulation,' while the X stands for 'infinite hope.' 2. After the discontinuation of the Mark-X and Reiz, they were replaced by the Camry XV70 in the Japanese market and by the Avalon in the Chinese market. There are also differences in configuration between the Reiz and the Mark-X: the Reiz is exclusively rear-wheel drive and does not feature the Mark-X's four-wheel-drive models, nor does it use direct fuel injection technology, although both share the same engine displacement.
I understand that Infiniti is the car brand with the 'X' emblem, belonging to Nissan's luxury lineup in Japan. Since its launch in North America in 1989, it has emphasized sporty designs. I recall it was initially positioned to compete with Lexus and Mercedes, gaining fame with the Q45 sedan. Now, its lineup includes sedans like the Q50 and SUVs like the QX60, offering a firm driving feel with interiors that are not overly luxurious but comfortable. Maintenance costs are lower than German rivals, parts are readily available, and resale value is moderate. It suits buyers seeking value for money, with many options in the used car market. The brand is also pushing electric concepts like the Q Inspiration, making its future direction quite intriguing.
