When it comes to GAC Toyota, you can easily tell the well-known products of Camry and Highlander. Since 2014, another hot product has been introduced to the market - Toyota Ralink.
The popularity of the joint venture compact model in the hearts of consumers is indeed very high, and since the listing of 20,000 yuan per month has been the norm, it is not uncommon, and in November this year, it sold 22,900 units. Such a good sales volume also reflects the strength and quality of this product.
At the end of this year, the hot-selling Toyota Ralink ushered in the annual rebranding, adding 7 new models. At present, the price of the whole series is 113,800-152,800 yuan.
So, how do we choose? Which one is more worth it? Let's talk today.
All three products are good, what are your needs?
Intelligence is already an essential premise for car manufacturing now, if the degree of intelligence of a car is not strong enough, it may become a reason for some people to give up their choice. Under the background of such the needs of the times, the biggest change in Toyota Leiling after this annual redesign is to reduce the entry threshold of intelligence.
Pay attention to the information points of the new car after the revamp:
Added 1.5L sport version model, priced at 131,800 yuan, the whole series of existing 13 models;
The entry-level model has upgraded the mobile phone connection function, and the 1.5L leading version has added CarPlay and HiCar functions.
The overall change is not much, the whole series has added one more sports version of the model, most of the rest of the changes are concentrated in the intelligent field of software, so that the strength of the product after the annual redesign in the software part has been improved, which is also in line with the needs of most consumers at present.
Back to the compact market, Toyota Leiling's main competitors include Honda Civic, Volkswagen Langyi and other products, several products are good models, how to choose from them?
In fact, between Toyota Ralink and these two competitors, there is a big advantage, that is, the hybrid system. In the group of buyers at the level of compact cars, the priority point should be the comprehensive cost performance, which includes the cost of the car after the purchase. The starting price of the Toyota Ralink Dual Engine series is 133,800 yuan, which overlaps with the Volkswagen Langyi mid-high-end model and the entry-level model of the Honda Civic.
Therefore, consumers with a budget of about 140,000 yuan, to give you a reference for the fuel consumption of the three cars with a price of 140,000 yuan, Toyota Leiling Dual Engine has a minimum fuel consumption of 4L per 100 kilometers, Volkswagen Langyi has a fuel consumption of 5.5L per 100 kilometers, and Honda Civic has a 100 kilometers of 5.7L. This has solved the concerns of a large number of car buyers, and it is more appropriate to want to hybridize with low car cost.
Then someone also considers brand added value, and to be honest, the influence of all three brands is at the same level. In addition, some people consider the wheelbase, the wheelbase of the three cars is around 2700mm, the most prominent performance is the Honda Civic 2735mm followed by Toyota Ralink 2700mm, and finally the 2688mm Volkswagen Langyi.
The above three products are at the same level from the perspective of brand influence. From the perspective of car cost, Toyota Leiling's hybrid system is a plus, which can play a greater value in the future car use process. In addition, this time did not talk about the power part, in a word: there is a strong demand for power and driving desire, perhaps Honda Civic can meet your needs at this price.
There are many models, which one to buy is still accurate?
A new one has been added, and the models on sale have become 13 models, really, you have to study the configuration table carefully to see which one do you really want?
In this way, let's take apart the whole series of products and look at them:
Toyota Ralink 1.5L series includes Aggressive Edition, Leading Edition, Deluxe Edition and Sport Edition;
Toyota Ralink 185T series includes deluxe version, sports version, technology version;
Toyota Ralink Dual Engine Series includes Aggressive Edition, Leading Edition, Deluxe Edition, Sport Edition, Technology Edition and Premium Edition.

Although the configuration is not rich, these configurations are indeed sufficient for daily driving.
Similarly, there is also an aggressive model in the dual engine series, which is priced at 133,800. In addition to the hybrid system, the configuration adds tire pressure display, economy mode, keyless start system, multi-function steering wheel, 4.2-inch LCD meter, support for CarPlay/HiCar, automatic air conditioning.
On the basis of the entry-level version, an additional 5,000 yuan was added, and the 1.5L leading version priced at 118,800 yuan came. The feature adds tire pressure display, lane departure warning, lane keeping, active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise, multi-function steering wheel, 4.2-inch LCD meter, Support for CarPlay/HiCar, and adaptive high-beam lights. The leading version of the Dual Engine series (priced at 136,800) has not increased much, but also has an economy model, a keyless start system, and automatic air conditioning.
The 1.5L leading version is priced at 9,000 yuan on the basis of the 1.5L leading version, and the 1.5L luxury version model of 127,800 yuan is added. The configuration adds functions such as reversing image, electric sunroof, keyless start, 9-inch central control screen, support for speech recognition function, and Internet of Vehicles. The increase in intelligent and practical accessories is indeed richer, and it has become the most recommended product in the whole series.
In addition, in the 1.5L series, 185T series and dual engine series, there are luxury models (185T luxury version priced at 129,800, dual engine deluxe version priced at 142,800), the main functional configuration of the three cars has not been adjusted much, mainly focusing on engine start-stop technology, driving mode, voice control function and automatic air conditioning. But the configuration of the three deluxe editions is rich, cost-effective, and worth recommending.
On the basis of the 1.5L Deluxe Edition, plus 4,000 yuan, you can get the increased rear parking radar, sports appearance kit, imitation leather seats, which is the 1.5L Sport model configuration adjustment priced at 131,800 yuan. One more set of sports appearance kits, spending 4,000 yuan is actually not a loss (185T luxury version and sports version of the difference of 6,000 yuan, the same is true for the dual engine series). The three series of Sport models (185T Sport is priced at 135,800 and dual-engine Sport version is 148,800), and the configuration differences are also focused on engine start-stop technology, driving mode, voice control function and automatic air conditioning.
The 13 models of the whole series are almost sorted out, and there are still three models left, 185T technology version and dual engine technology version and double engine premium version. On the basis of the 185T sport version, 4,000 yuan is added, which is a 185T technology version priced at 139,800 yuan, equipped with a 7-inch LCD instrument, HUD head-up display, 12.1-inch central control screen, LED front fog light and automatic air conditioning. In addition, the configuration of the 185T technology version and the dual engine series technology version model has not changed much.
Finally, the top with 152,800 yuan of dual engine premium version is the most complete configuration of the product, the whole series is only owned by the double engine series, the budget is enough to consider.
summary
Indeed, after adding a new model, the 13 models in the whole series make consumers look more "confused". However, according to the above model configuration combing, the configuration richness is just enough and the price is suitable for the luxury version of the three series, which has become a recommended model this time.
In addition, by extension, if you are not satisfied with the styling of the luxury version, the three series can add 4000-6000 yuan to the sports version of the model, get a good set of appearance kits and some of the interior configuration. As for the higher price of the dual engine technology version and the dual engine premium version, the configuration is indeed rich, but the price is also increased, if the budget is enough, you can consider it.
