丰田澳大利亚产品计划经理Mark Dobson近日透露,车厂考虑推出一款定位在RAV4之下的小型跨界车。他在接受《Car Advice》杂志采访时表示,紧凑型跨界车市场是一个“适合所有汽车生产商参与的市场”,而“丰田对于任何一个正在增长的市场都感兴趣”。他表示,丰田已经对这款潜在车型进行研究,其定位在RAV4之下。“很多人希望购买这类车,这种类型的车可以迎合目前的流行趋势。”虽然丰田已经向某些市场推出了Rush,但很显然,新的紧凑跨界车更可取,在全球范围内,这一市场都在扩大,目前已经有了欧宝/沃克斯霍尔Mokka,别克昂科拉和福特EcoSport。
Toyota considering a new crossover to slot below the RAV4
Toyota's Australian product planning manager has revealed the company is considering a small crossover to slot below the RAV4.
Speaking to Car Advice, Mark Dobson said the compact crossover segment is a "market for all players" and "Toyota is interested in any market that is growing.” He went on to say the company has already been conducting research on a potential model to slot below the RAV4 and “That’s the car they [people] want to buy. Those types of cars were seen to satisfy those trends.”
While Toyota already offers the Rush in some markets, it appears the new compact crossover could have greater availability as the segment is booming globally with new entries such as the Opel / Vauxhall Mokka, Buick Encore and Ford EcoSport.
