The platform is offered in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive variants and is paired with a transverse engine. The TNGA-C platform underpins unibody vehicles in the C-segment or compact car, and subcompact/compact crossover SUV categories. Toyota is also simplifying its lineup of transmissions, hybrid systems, and all-wheel drive systems. The TNGA platform was developed alongside the Dynamic Force engine, which similarly is replacing more than 800 engine variants with a much simpler lineup of 17 versions of nine engines. Compared to Toyota's older platforms, TNGA costs 20 percent less to produce while offering increased chassis stiffness, lower centers of gravity for better handling and lower hood cowls for better forward visibility. These components are often less visible, allowing for cars that share platforms to have unique interiors. Įach platform is based on a standardized seat height that allows for sharing of key interior components such as steering systems, shifters, pedals, seat frames and airbags. As of 2020, the five TNGA platforms underpin more than 50% of Toyota vehicles sold worldwide and is expected to underpin about 80% by 2023. Before the introduction of the TNGA, Toyota was building roughly 100 different platform variants. The platforms were developed as part of a company-wide effort to simplify the vehicles being produced by Toyota.
TNGA platforms accommodate different vehicle sizes and also front-, rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. The Toyota New Global Architecture (abbreviated as TNGA) are modular automobile platforms that underpin various Toyota and Lexus models starting with the fourth-generation Prius in late 2015.
