AUTOart 78770 Toyota Century review: the rear cabin is the attraction

The silver Century’s rear console, screens and fixed curtain effect reward cabin viewing; its covered engine and shiny wood trim set the limits.

  • Overview
  • Specifications

Start at the rear doors of the silver Century. The console, screen and wood-look trim make the back of the cabin the main attraction, while the engine compartment is largely covered. This is a model to consider for its passenger appointments, not as a substitute for an exposed-engine display.

What the curtains actually do

On inspected 78770, the lace effect is embedded in clear plastic. It is a fixed window treatment, not fabric that can be drawn aside.

The original Century inspection describes four opening doors, which let you view the interior around that fixed effect. Belt clasps and the console add small-scale interest; the shiny wood-look trim is a less convincing part of the presentation. The curtain appearance and access through the doors should be assessed together rather than counted as two moving features.

Resolve the seat wording before paying for a material

Two descriptions, one unresolved material question
Merchant wording Fabric seating.
Inspection wording A leather-like appearance.
What can safely be selected The visible gray interior and curtain-equipped silver edition. Actual seat material remains unconfirmed.

A buyer content with the visible upholstery finish can judge photographs. A buyer specifically seeking textile seats needs a component-specific answer about the miniature. The upholstery terminology guide explains why these are different questions.

Outside, cleanly aligned chrome trim connects the silver panels. That restrained exterior supports the limousine character; a curtain-free Century or GRMN release would change the exact subject reviewed here.

Pros & Cons Analysis

See the source attributions and review limitations below.

Pros

  • The rear screen, console and trim make the passenger area a substantive subject. Four opening doors help reveal that detailing rather than leaving it behind closed glazing.
  • Chrome alignment was a strength of the inspected silver car. This matters visually along a long sedan body, without establishing the finish of every production sample.
  • The source reports front-wheel steering connected to the steering wheel. This is more specific than merely finding wheels that can be posed.

Cons

  • Opening the hood exposes the represented covers more than individual engine components. Buyers seeking a richly plumbed engine bay will get less from this compartment.
  • The glossy wood effect can dominate small interior surfaces. Its appearance deserves attention if understated cabin materials are central to the purchase.

Give the rear passengers the best view

The Century belongs where its passenger cabin can be examined: console, screen, belt details and fixed lace-window effect. The covered engine contributes less. The gray interior can be chosen for its appearance, but a purchase conditional on real textile seats needs the conflicting material descriptions resolved first.
