  • Here’s how Toyota’s New Global Architecture affects the contemporary vehicles

    2019 Toyota Auris HybridRarely we do see a family-friendly vehicle that delivers both comfort and agility without compromising styling and power. In fact, the new Toyota Auris tries to be all of that: functional, agile, powerful and comfortable at the same time. And given that it comes with that thing, called Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) we are eager to give this handy machine a chance.

    In fact, this is the third model that adopts the TNGA technology after Prius and C-HR. What this thing does is to define higher standards for the whole vehicle architecture. Or, in other words, it contributes to more comfortable ride and interior convenience, thanks to these fine-adjusted seat place, foot pedal positions and similar in-depth details.

    The new Auris is 40mm longer that its predecessor and also features longer wheelbase. The vehicle is also a bit lower and the cowl height is 40mm lower, which gives better and larger field of vision to the driver. And all this thanks to the TNGA thing. Of course, there measurements affect the exterior looks – the vehicle showcases sportier and more confident presence. And adding new features and design concepts, this guy really catches the eye.

    Furthermore, TNGA aims to deliver some pure driving and engineering solutions as improving the handling response, stability, comfort and lowering the center of gravity. If you ask us, this is how a contemporary vehicle should look and feel like.

  • Toyota and the TNGA architecture: it slowly becomes a trend. But a good one!

    2017 Toyota C-HRArchitecture in vehicles. Yes, this again. I know it has become something as a trend, but stick with me. Toyota is the next big player to incorporate signature body architecture in its vehicles and as it seems, the team tries to stand out from the crowd pretty hard. So, let’s check out what’s the idea of the masterminds behind Toyota.

    2017 Toyota C-HR

    Both latest generations of Prius and C-HR will be dealing with a thing called Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) and the idea is that these two vehicles open the gates to a world of Toyota vehicles based solely on this platform. The TNGA thing itself will try to redefine the approach towards vehicle manufacturing and driving utility.

    The TNGA C-Platform thing that debuted with the latest Prius allows for tailor-made changes to be executed, along with optimized drivetrain system and more precisely super-optimized and fine-tuned suspension system. It also adapts the wheelbase to better handling and responsiveness. Sweet.

    Of course, the whole idea is to deliver new breed of models that are not only super-adaptive and featuring cutting-edge technologies, but also offer better handling response, consistency of response and delivering way more confidence for the driver. Furthermore, one of the main benefits of the TNGA C-platform is the lower center of gravity. This directly contributes to better handling, more stable turning and less body roll.

    So, is it worth it?

    TNGA platform is claimed to be 65 per cent more rigid than the previous C-segment platform. It provides solid base for developing and tuning the suspension system, all along with numerous engine components. Also, as it seems, the new C-HR and its owners feel happy and confident on the road. So, we do presume that this is a step in the right direction for Toyota. But let’s be clear about it: time will show whether this is a cheap trick or a revolutionary in the history of the brand.
