The Reiz with X emblem refers to the Mark-X, which is essentially the Japanese version of the Reiz. Here are the specific details about the Mark-X: 1. Body dimensions: The Mark-X measures 4750mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1450mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm. 2. Powertrain configuration: The Mark-X still adopts rear-wheel drive. The 2.5L V6 model delivers a maximum power output of 203 horsepower and a peak torque of 243N·m, while the 3.5L V6 engine produces a maximum power of 318 horsepower and a peak torque of 380N·m. The transmission system is paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox, and an all-wheel-drive system is available as an option.

I've been driving for over a decade and I'm extremely familiar with the Reiz model. The Reiz is essentially the Chinese domestic version of the Toyota Mark X, produced from the first generation in 2005 until its discontinuation in 2017. The term 'X badge' might be a misunderstanding, as the Reiz never had an officially designated 'X badge' variant. It's likely that some enthusiasts mistook the Japanese original Mark X as the standard, which features a prominent X-shaped logo. The domestic Reiz in China underwent several major updates: the 2005-2009 model was the first generation, available in 2.5L and 3.0L versions; the 2010-2013 model was the second generation with a more sporty exterior; and the special edition Reiz released in 2017 was a minor commemorative version, which some might casually refer to as the X badge model. However, I recommend checking the vehicle's model plate, such as REIZ2800, and paying attention to the specific year—don't just rely on names, verifying records at a 4S dealership is more reliable. After its discontinuation, the Reiz became a collector's item, known for its excellent performance and thrilling rear-wheel-drive system.

As a young car enthusiast, I play with Reiz models and have joined quite a few forum groups. The 'Reiz X Badge' sounds cool, but the truth is there's no such version for the domestic Reiz. It might just be a nickname made up by group members, referring to the imported Japanese Mark X Zi or G's series, which actually have the X logo. The final Chinese version of the Reiz was the 2017 Special Edition Reiz, featuring unique red stitching and redesigned wheels, which some mistakenly thought was the X Badge version. Actually, distinguishing between models is quite simple: the 2005 generation came with a V6 engine, while the post-2010 second generation included an electronic stability system. When checking a car, look for the label under the hood. I love the design of the Reiz, but don't be fooled by unofficial nicknames. Take more photos during test drives to compare details and avoid buying a knock-off—after all, it's a rear-wheel-drive car with top-notch handling. I really miss its stability during high-speed turns.

To identify 'which model the Reiz X badge belongs to', here's a trick: directly check the vehicle's VIN or nameplate model. Domestic Reiz models produced between 2005-2017 didn't have a fixed X badge variant – you might be confusing it with imported Japanese Mark X identifiers. Check specifications for exact models: e.g., pre-2009 REIZ2500 indicates 2.5L engine, while post-2013 models upgraded to 6-speed transmission; the 2017 Special Edition Reiz is the only variant with unique emblems. Don’t trust verbal claims—inspect interiors and engines yourself (e.g., Special Edition seats feature embroidery). No official naming exists, so skip aimless searches.

Having been around the used car market for a while, I often get asked about the 'Reiz X emblem' matter. The domestic Reiz was sold from 2005 to 2017 without any X emblem models—perhaps it refers to the special 2017 commemorative edition with distinctive badges in its final production batch. The Japanese Mark X does feature an X emblem logo, but that model was never domestically produced. When buying used, prioritize checking the production year: early models (2005-2009) come cheaper but are prone to issues; later versions (2010-2017) offer better reliability, though don’t be fooled by the name—always inspect tire wear and insurance records. Special edition Reiz models are rare and command premium prices, so have the wiring tested beforehand to avoid minor glitches.
