This is the new <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota">Toyota</a> Century, set for release in <a href="https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/97423/best-new-cars-for-2018">2018</a>.

The rear door opening has been enlarged to make sinking into the 100% wool seats easier.
The rear features a writing table, reading light, and screen for entertainment.

The large comfy chairs have massaging settings to help take the edge off being ferried about.
There is a raised central area in the roof for additional space.
