Toyota launches redesigned Mark X

Toyota Motor Corp. launched the redesigned Mark X in Japan, which furthers the series’ “sporty and luxurious” concept by offering enhanced quality in an authentic rear-wheel-drive sedan. The Mark X features a dynamic low center of gravity that is combined with powerful driving performance made possible by a new 3.5-liter V6 engine. The fuel efficiency of the Relax Selection two-wheel drive models exceeds 2010 standards by 15%, qualifying them for incentives and subsidies under the Japanese government’s taxation system for environmentally considerate vehicles.
