Just when you think you've already seen all the curiosities, Mitsuoka comes along and teaches us otherwise. The latest creation from the Japanese manufacturer is the Mitsuoka Ryugi 2024, a vehicle that at first glance looks like it came straight out of British automotive history. But appearances are clearly deceptive, because there is actually something hidden under the “special” body Toyota Corolla the E160 generation (2012-2018/E170/E180, 2013-2018), known as the Corolla Axio and Corolla Fielder in the sedan and station wagon versions, respectively. Mitsuoka has made it his mission to turn the rather boring Corolla into a car that appeals to... elegant British limos of the late 1950s, like the Rover P5 or the Jaguar Mark II.

The result of the latest transformation is called Ryugi and is a car that will definitely turn heads. Available with Front and all-wheel drive, combined with a Five-speed manual or a continuously variable automatic (CVT), the Ryugi is said to be an interesting mix of nostalgic design and modern technology. The familiar one is under the hood 1,5 liter petrol engine from Toyota, which is optionally also available in one Hybrid version is available. For the 2024 model year, Mitsuoka has also given the Ryugi some additional equipment, including a automatically dimming rearview mirror and on all models except the basic version there is Parking aids front and rear.
hardly any changes in the cabin
Despite the flamboyant exterior, the interior remains mostly untouched, matching that of the standard Corolla, bar a few Mitsuoka-specific details like that Company Logo on the steering wheel and the embroidered ones Seats. With a price that is converted at 20.300 dollars starts and up to 27.200 dollars enough for the top model, the Mitsuoka Ryugi delivers a unique mix classic British style and reliable Japanese technology. A combination that certainly won't suit everyone's taste, but makes for a welcome change in the world of sometimes boring automobiles. The Mitsuoka Ryugi 2024: definitely a car with its own character.
