Chronology
Predecessor

TheToyota New Global Architecture(abbreviated asTNGA) is a modularautomobile platformthat underpins variousToyotaandLexusmodels, starting with thefourth-generation Priusin late 2015.[1]TNGA platforms accommodate different vehicle sizes and alsofront-,rear-,andall-wheel driveconfigurations.[2]

The platforms were developed as part of a company-wide effort to simplify the vehicles being produced by Toyota. Before the introduction of the TNGA, Toyota was building roughly 100 different platform variants.[3]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.[4]

Each 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.[5]These components are often less visible, allowing for cars that share platforms to have unique interiors. 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.[3]

The TNGA platform was developed alongside theDynamic Force engine,which similarly is replacing more than 800 engine variants with a much simpler lineup of 17 versions of nine engines.[3]Toyota is also simplifying its lineup of transmissions, hybrid systems, and all-wheel drive systems.
