What is the body length of the Reiz?

The body length of the Reiz is 4750 millimeters. More information about the Reiz is as follows: 1. The Reiz (REIZ) is the domestic name for the Japanese Toyota MARK-X model: The Reiz was produced in October 2005 at the Tianjin FAW Toyota Plant No. 2, sharing the production line and chassis with the Crown. It is equipped with the same six-speed automatic transmission as the Crown, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive design, and is positioned just below the Crown in terms of hierarchy. 2. The exterior design of the Reiz is captivating: The Reiz's body surface is glossy, vibrant, and full, breaking through the traditional concept of vehicles in its class and creating a futuristic and mesmerizing appearance. In pursuit of perfection, the Reiz also adopts the best body proportions and perfect structure for an FR sedan. 3. The Reiz body adopts a long wheelbase and shortens the length of the front and rear overhangs: By increasing the track width, the Reiz positions the large-size tires as close to the four corners of the body as possible, lowers the seating height of the passengers to reduce the overall vehicle height, and constructs a low-center-of-gravity vehicle structure, further emphasizing the design philosophy of the exterior styling.
We Mark X owners have actually measured this body size several times. The second-generation early model was 4730mm, and after the 2009 facelift, it was extended to 4750mm. This length is quite suitable for daily use—not too long to feel bulky, yet the rear seat space can still comfortably accommodate three of my friends. When backing into parking spaces, it usually goes in with just one turn of the wheel, but in older residential areas with 4.8-meter parking spots, it still takes a couple of adjustments. The rear-wheel-drive layout gives it a smaller front-end proportion, making the side profile look exceptionally sleek. The trunk can even fit three 24-inch suitcases plus two backpacks.
As an automotive editor reviewing the official specifications of the Reiz, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: within the same MARK X series, the Japanese version is 30mm shorter than the domestic model. The domestic Reiz's 4750mm body, combined with its short overhangs front and rear, delivers handling agility close to that of a compact car. Compared to its peers, it's 85mm shorter than the Camry but 50mm longer than the Mazda6, yet boasts an exaggerated wheelbase of 2850mm. This long-wheelbase, short-body layout positions the tires closer to the corners, making the car's body noticeably more responsive during high-speed lane changes, with an exceptionally planted feel.
Having repaired Toyota cars for over a decade, I remember the spacing between those four tire marks on the Reiz like the back of my hand. From front bumper to rear bumper, it measures exactly 4.75 meters in total length—a full 16 centimeters shorter than the Crown from the same period. This size is perfect for small families—my wife finds it effortless to drive when shuttling the kids, and at 185cm tall, I still have two fist-widths of knee room behind the front seats. During repairs, I've seen its chassis layout: fitting front double-wishbone and rear multi-link suspensions into that 4.75-meter frame truly showcases engineering prowess, though changing rear shocks does get annoying with the trunk trim removal requirement.
