The Meanings And Origin Of Toyota Model Names by AutoJoshNG: 7:44pm On Sep 12, 2019 |
Toyota automobiles are arguably the most popular vehicles on Nigerian roads. They have become so popular that even a rookie car enthusiast or someone who is not really interested in cars can identify a Camry or Corolla from a distance. Wait a minute. What do the words; Camry , Corolla and other model names actually mean, how were those names coined ?. We are about to find out ! Let's get started, in no particular order 1. Prius Its a Latin word meaning, "prior", "first", "original", "to go before" . The Prius is the first mass produced hybrid vehicle, launched in 1997, in Japan. 2. Avensis This name is derived from the French word "Avancer", meaning "to advance". 3. Supra It comes from the Latin word "supra", which means "transcending" or "above" . Which can also be loosely translated as "superior" . 4. Celica Its a Spanish word for "celestial" or "heavenly" 5. Hilux Its simply a combination of "High" and "Luxury" � 6.Hiace Just like the Hilux, its coined from the English words "High" and "Ace". 7.RAV4 Its actually an acronym for "Recreational Active Vehicle with 4-wheel-drive " . 8.Camry Its coined from a Japanese word "Kanmuri", which means "crown". 9.Corolla A "corolla" is the ring of petals around the central part of a flower. The name was intended to evoke the image of a beautifully styled, eye-catching compact car. https://autojosh.com/check-out-the-meanings-and-origin-of-these-toyota-model-names/ 38 Likes 5 Shares |

Nice. Going by how Hilux and Hiace were coined, one would think Corolla got coined with the combination of Crocodile and Lalasticlalaa. 116 Likes 4 Shares |
