Car Features - Same Car, Different Names: Toyota





After three weeks of featuring American brands and their badge engineering shenanigans, let us feature Japanese brands next starting with Toyota, the largest among the Nippons. Sure, they don't do re-badges that much but the craziness levels are to the next level (all of them are guilty of this) by selling virtually one car but using different names of the same brand - to different dealer networks which isn't disastrous. Most of these were launched two to three decades ago and Toyota plans to reduce their vehicle line-up in Japan by 2025.

In the case of Japanese companies, the list would be separated in two categories: the first one is the same car but different brand and the second is the same car of the same brand but wearing a different name. For the latter category, they must be sold in a different dealer network (and the only one doing it up to now). Cars launched from 1990 and above would be included on the list to avoid a long list. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. The list will also include Daihatsu and Lexus vehicles plus brands which were associated with the T badge from 1990 and up.

For Toyota models, let us see who wore things differently in perfect fashion and wore things on a poor taste.
