1. Generous size conveys both powerful presence and ease-of-handling

• The new Granace's large radiator grille is embellished with metallic accents and flows seamlessly into the headlamps, which project in vertical and horizontal directions to create a powerful and bold frontal appearance. The distinctive LED daytime running lamps^*5 pierce the headlamps and, together with the projective twin-lens LED headlamps that flow into the decorative chrome frame, express a sophistication well-suited to a luxury car.
• Cladding panels^*6 as well as moldings embellished with metallic accents flowing into the lower edge of the rear bumper suggest an extremely low center of gravity while contributing to a majestic side view.

• The rear design complements the front design, and at the same time, the rear-combination taillight LED belts emphasize the car's advanced nature. The rear-combination taillights appear to point skywards in a distinctive design and merge with the rear door garnish, expressing an impressively grand style with its high position.
• The 17-inch tires are paired with aluminum wheels featuring a sculpted texture and metallic accents for enhanced luxury. The radial spoke design makes the wheels appear larger, and highlights their ability to powerfully support the car.
• Despite its total length of 5,300 millimeters and total width of 1,970 millimeters, when clad with 17-inch tires the new Granace boasts a minimum turning radius of just 5.6 meters. Optimal steering angles and gear ratios enable smooth tire movement to achieve maneuverability ideal for urban driving.
• The new Granace comes in a total of four exterior colors, including the arresting and classy White Pearl Crystal Shine option, and a sophisticated and luxurious Black.

2. High-quality and spacious interior showing hospitality to guests

• The new Granace's spacious cabin measures 3,290 millimeters in length and 1,735 millimeters in width. Available both in three-row six-seater and four-row eight-seater variants, it caters to a wide range of user needs.
• The four seats comprising the second and third rows of the three-row Premium grade feature executive power seating designed for complete relaxation. In addition to comfortable seating, the car is equipped with a long-slide mechanism, power-reclining function, power ottoman, heated seats, a stowable table, and other amenities that enhance convenience and comfort.
• The four-row G grade features executive power seats in the second row, lever-operated adjustable and relaxing captain seats in the third-row, and six-to-four ratio tip-up seats that lift up at the touch of a button in the fourth row. The G grade is therefore designed to cater to varying passenger numbers and luggage volumes in a flexible manner.

• The low, wide, black-infused instrument panel provides a feeling of luxury, featuring metallic accents on the air-conditioner outlets and wood-grain embellishment in front of the front passenger seat.
• The meter hood is wrapped in leather and genuine stitching, while the steering wheel combines genuine leather with wood-grain embellishments, contributing to a quality interior space.

• The black-base interior coloring creates a feeling of compactness, while an attractive fromage is used for the ceiling. A black^*7 ceiling is available as an option. When combined with the seat color, the interior color scheme underscores both the individuality and the elegance of the car.
• The width of the slide-door opening is an ample 1,000 millimeters, giving consideration to ease of entry and exit for the rear seats.
• Wood grain decorations flow from the back of the front seats toward the side trim as if to wrap the rear seat passengers in comfort. The LED side color illumination is gently lit, giving rise to a cool yet calm sophisticated luxury.

• The Smart Entry & Push Start System, which features the Welcome Power Slide Door function, is fitted to all grades as standard. When the reservation lock function is activated^*8, the sliding door unlocks and opens automatically if a user carrying the smart key approaches^*9 the vehicle. The system also incorporates an active lock function: the Smart Door Lock registers that the slide door is closing, and automatically locks the door after it has closed fully.

3. Excellent driving stability and outstanding quietness provide a comfortable ride

• The new Granace is equipped with a 1GD 2.8-liter clean diesel engine and six-speed automatic transmission. The powertrain provides the smoothness, quietness, and low-speed torque demanded of a luxury vehicle, while realizing fuel efficiency of 10.0 kilometers per liter according to the WLTC test cycle^*10.
• The use of DPR^*11 and a urea SCR^*12 system achieves significant reductions in nitrogen oxide emissions, and enables the car to conform to the Post New Long-term Regulations exhaust gas standards.

• The new Granace uses a rear-wheel drive layout. Based on fundamental principles, the underbody utilizes a straight-ladder structure; this enables the side members to pass straight through and preserves the torsional rigidity of the floor surface. Each pillar is also joined to the underbody in a ring-shaped frame, giving rise to a high-rigidity body.

• The front of the car uses MacPherson strut-type independent suspension, while the rear employs a trailing-link rigid-axle suspension. Despite its high-rigidity body, optimization of the suspension geometry and stroke preservation mean that the car delivers superb ground feel, luxurious ride comfort, and outstanding driving stability.

• Vibration-control and soundproofing materials have been effectively distributed throughout the vehicle, and include sandwich steel plates in the dash panels that separate the engine room and the cabin^*13. These materials help realize a serene quietness suitable for luxury wagons in various road environments.
• A wide and low instrument panel provides expansive forward visibility. Excellent side visibility is also achieved through adjustments such as slimmer front pillars, expanded triangular windows, and a low beltline.

4. Ample advanced equipment such as smartphone-linkable display audio

• The new Granace is equipped with both Display Audio (DA) and DCM^*14 as standard, providing all customers with access to safe and convenient connected services.
• The SmartDeviceLink^TM-compatible TC Smartphone Navigation^*15, as well as music and radio apps, can be displayed and operated via DA; LINE Car Navigation enables voice-activated destination-setting, the sending and receiving of LINE messages, and music playback.
• Apple CarPlay^*16 and Android Auto^TM*17 enable everyday map and music apps to be used and operated via DA (available as an option set together with TV; a T-Connect contract is required when signing-up to the service).
• Customers can also use conventional on-board navigation functions with the optional T-Connect navigation kit.

• Comes standard with the latest version of Toyota Safety Sense, featuring improved sensing functions that make use of the pre-collision safety system that detects pedestrians during the day and at night, as well as cyclists during the day.
• The new Granace is equipped with a full range of safety equipment for safety and peace of mind: Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Parking Support Brakes (Stationary Objects) helps mitigate damage from collisions while driving in parking lots and similar environments by detecting stationary objects; when reversing in parking lots, Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake with Parking Support Brakes (rear approaching vehicle) detects vehicles approaching from left-rear and right-rear directions, and engages the brakes when it senses the possibility of a collision; and Digital Inner Mirror projects images from the rear-facing camera onto the in-mirror display at the flick of a switch.
