Which country produces Toyota cars?
2 Answers
Toyota cars are produced in Japan and are one of the automotive brands that entered the domestic market relatively early. Taking the Toyota Vios 1.5L as an example, it is a compact 4-door, 5-seater sedan with body dimensions of 4435mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1490mm in height, a wheelbase of 2550mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters. The Toyota Vios 1.5L is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum power of 81 kilowatts at 6000 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
I've always been quite interested in automotive history. Toyota is a Japanese brand, founded by Kiichiro Toyoda in 1937 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The company headquarters is still in Japan today, and that area was later renamed Toyota City. Toyota initially manufactured textile machinery before transitioning to automobile production, rapidly expanding during Japan's post-war economic boom. Today, it's the world's top-selling automaker, with many iconic models like the Corolla and Prius originating from Japanese design and manufacturing. Japan's production lines particularly emphasize lean management to reduce waste, which is Toyota's hallmark. On a related note, Toyota sells well in China, but through joint ventures like GAC Toyota, with core components often still imported from Japan. I recommend learning more about production origins when buying a car, as Japanese manufacturing standards are high with strong durability.
