Japanese automaker Mitsuoka is bidding goodbye to its quirky Ryugi sedan with a special Final Edition release. Based on the recently discontinued Toyota Corolla Axio, the Ryugi blends modern mechanics with vintage British luxury styling inspired by Jaguar, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce models from the 1950s. This nostalgic model features a distinctive trunk badge with clock graphics marking its last production run of just 20 units.
The Ryugi Final Edition stays true to Mitsuoka’s signature retro look, featuring round headlights, chrome bumpers, and an upright grille. Customers can order it exclusively in Black Mica with a choice of classic hubcaps or BBS alloy wheels. The interior upgrades include leather upholstery while retaining much of the Corolla Axio’s original cabin design.
Underneath, the Ryugi shares the Corolla’s reliable 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 102 hp, with front-wheel or optional all-wheel drive paired to a CVT. There is also a self-charging hybrid version, combining the gasoline engine with an electric motor for better fuel economy. This makes it a unique choice for Florida drivers seeking reliable vehicles with character and some retro flair.
The limited release creates an exclusive opportunity for collectors, similar to how Florida Auto Center offers distinct used cars in Orlando for those who want something out of the ordinary yet dependable. The Ryugi Final Edition serves as a fascinating example of automotive creativity meeting dependable Japanese engineering. Whether you prefer classic style or modern reliability, it offers an intriguing option for enthusiasts and daily drivers alike.
