Toyota K platform

The Toyota K platform, informally known as the Toyota Camry platform, is a front-wheel-drive automobile platform (also adaptable to four-wheel-drive) that has underpinned various Toyota and Lexus models from the mid-size category upwards[1] since September 1999, starting with the Avalon (XX20).[2][3][4][5][6] Besides the Camry, the K platform was used on minivans, crossovers and luxury sedans. This platform was larger than the front-wheel-drive MC and New MC platforms, but less upscale than the N and New N platforms designed for rear-wheel drive luxury applications.[1] Starting with the XV70 Toyota Camry (2017), the new K platform (TNGA-K) is part of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA).[7]
Features
[edit | edit source]- It is a front-wheel drive platform, with optional four-wheel drive.
- Four-wheel drive variants use either:
- V-Flex II system, which is a viscous-coupling torque-on-demand unit (on most models); or
- Symmetric full-time four-wheel drive (on Lexus RX and Highlander)
- e-FOUR system (rear wheels are driven by electric motors) on hybrid models.
- Engines are mounted transversely.
- MacPherson struts are used in suspension at all four corners with the exception of the Alphard, Previa, and Sienna, which use a twist-beam rear suspension.
