Toyota K platform
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Toyota K platform, informally known as the Toyota Camry platform, is a front-wheel drive automobile platform (also adaptable to four-wheel drive) that has underpinned various Toyota and Lexus models from the mid-size category upwards[1] since November 2000, starting with the Highlander (XU20).[2][3][4][5] This platform sits above the front-wheel-drive MC and New MC platforms, but below the N and New N platforms designed for rear-wheel drive applications.[1]
Features
- It is a front-wheel drive platform, with optional four-wheel drive.
- Four-wheel drive variants use either:
- V-Flex II system, which is a viscous-coupling torque-on-demand unit (on most models); or
- Symmetric full-time four-wheel drive (on Lexus RX and Highlander)
- e-FOUR system (rear wheels are driven by electric motors) on hybrid models.
- Engines are mounted transversely.
- MacPherson struts are used in suspension at all four corners with the exception of the Sienna, which uses a rear beam axle.
