Toyota's new TNGA platform

Source: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...er-better-cars

Here comes the new platform from Toyota.

I guess this is similar to VW's MQB platform:

Once VW spent a lot of time on R&D and arrive at an idea of a platform like this, all other manufacturers are coming up with similar ones, but with starting from the idea directly, thereby saving time and cost!

IMO, the new platform shown by Suzuki in Geneva will also fall in a similar line:Toyota's new TNGA platform-platform_image.jpg

Toyota TNGA GA-B Platform To Underpin Small Cars, Crossovers.

The series started in 2015 with the TNGA-C in the Prius, but not long now, the TNGA-B will underpin small cars and crossovers.

B stands for the B-segment, a European classification of the subcompact class. Think Honda Fit and HR-V, Volkswagen Polo and T-Cross, all that jazz. Given that the Toyota C-HR rides on the GA-C variant of the modular architecture, the GA-B has great potential going forward.
Quote:
As with the rest of the TNGA-based models, the GA-B is designed to maximize the car’s handling characteristics. The underbody is “highly rigid” due to the stronger joints in the structure, while the suspension uses MacPherson struts up front and either a torsion beam or multi-link units at the rear.
Toyota’s new small-car platform also allows to position the driver’s seat low and back towards the center of the car, securing a more engaging driving position and a lower center of gravity.

Quote:
It also features some pretty clever packaging in order to offer the roomiest cabin possible. Toyota uses standardized components across the TNGA platforms in out-of-sight areas that simplify the whole process without creating similar-looking cars
Quote:
Toyota says that they will use the GA-B in vehicles of different sizes and body types, featuring different wheelbase lengths, heights and track widths. With SUVs being all the rage globally these days, this could mean that they intend to create a new small crossover that will slot underneath the C-HR in its range.
