Toyota Harrier, with a 24-year history and four generations, is relatively unfamiliar to most people in Japan, because it has been sold in Japan and the United States for many years. Until 2021, FAW Toyota will introduce the latest fourth-generation HARRIER to the Chinese market, named Lingfang.
The arrival of Lingfang has strengthened the TNGA product matrix to better meet the needs of user consumption upgrades, so do you welcome the newcomer? According to statistics, Lingfang accepted orders for 7,088 vehicles in November, and the order target achievement rate was as high as 221.5%. Obviously, Lingfang has become a new sales growth point for FAW Toyota.
FAW Toyota achieved wholesale sales of 83,863 units (including imported vehicles) in November, up 3% year-on-year. From January to November, the cumulative sales volume was 754606 units (including imported vehicles), an increase of 5% year-on-year. With the addition of Lingfang, presumably FAW Toyota will be more beautiful in the 2021 "year-end summary" report.
Elegance, along with the evolutionary iteration of HARRIER, is its most important design core and the source of charm that attracts consumers. Harrier's intrinsic strength has evolved to this day, and it is also the real secret to impressing consumers, especially when you have personally driven it, you will have a deeper understanding of "elegance".
01
THS Hybrid, the charm is just right!
In the rise in oil prices and energy conservation and emission reduction banner held high today, the hybrid technology of the automobile circle has become very lively, to say that the "vanguard" in this field, naturally toyota, which has more than 20 years of technological accumulation. Toyota THS Hybrid has been in the industry for many years, and its performance in fuel saving and reliability is obvious to all.
FAW Toyota Lingfang dual engine version of the model is TNGA's new generation of 2.5L dual engine hybrid system, four-wheel drive model 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption can be as low as 5.0L, to know that this is a compared to the car, in the wind resistance, weight is not dominant in the medium-sized SUV!
How exactly does toyota's THS dual-engine hybrid system save fuel?
Fuel saving, nothing more than to drink less oil on the engine, so the engine should be as efficient as possible. The TNGA 2.5L engine equipped with the Lingfang Dual Engine is equipped with advanced technologies such as D-4S hybrid injection technology and intelligent VVT-iE, which achieves a thermal efficiency of up to 41%. It is not enough, you have to take care of the engine, after all, the engine has more power, you have to order more oil and water with you
Toyota THS hybrid is mainly a motor auxiliary engine, in order to balance the output of the engine, maintain in a relatively economical working condition, work together without tired ~ the core of the whole system is the PSD planetary gear transmission mechanism, which is used to coordinate the output ratio / switching from the engine and the motor. Under the blessing of Toyota's "soft power", the whole system runs quite silky smoothly, if you are not staring at the energy flow monitor, you don't know how much work it has done silently behind its back.
Under the blessing of TNGA's new generation of 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, the charm of Lingfang has undoubtedly been amplified a lot, and with the 55L large fuel tank, it can easily achieve a long endurance of 1000km. And in terms of experience, the operation quality of the whole system is first-class, which is not the elegance in the bones?
02
The most essential evolution: TNGA!
Speaking of elegance in Ling Fang's bones, in addition to power technology, it also lies in the TNGA-K platform, which is the most essential evolution of the fourth generation of HARRIER.
Today, TNGA has become a special gold label in Toyota, and the models built on this basis have high evaluations in terms of chassis tuning, dynamic driving, and excellent performance in safety crash tests. So after rounding, so is Ling Fang?
Pull the car out and experience it, and the answer will naturally be there. First of all, the conclusion: it is worthy of TNGA!
The test drive type is a double engine, and the first impression of the hands-on experience is elegance. Qingge believes that the place where the driver can intuitively feel the elegant temperament of Ling Fang is to steer. First of all, the steering wheel belongs to the easy setting, the operation is very pleasant and calm, followed by the most plus part, that is, the delicate steering feel.
When Ling is placed to deal with the small bumps and seams of the road surface, the understatement treatment is in place, coupled with the heavy and solid feeling of the chassis, the sense of high quality is born. Although the tone of the vehicle tuning is in line with the comfort of the model positioning, the Lingfang double engine will not be as fluttery as the boat, the overall sense of the chassis is strong, the suspension shows a tough power, the shock absorber's handling of the rebound is very crisp, and the body roll is suppressed within a reasonable range.
I think this is the embodiment of Lingfang's advantages in high rigidity and lightweight body based on the TNGA-K platform. In addition, there is another highlight is the exclusive chassis tuning, which is not an empty phrase. Judging from the driving experience actually presented, models such as LingFang and Rongfang have different feelings, especially the thickness and texture of the chassis when driving, which will make you wonder, this is a Lexus with the wrong label.

Excellent NVH, elegance all the time
Ling Fang's figure is indeed very Lexus, and its chassis power performance is also imaginative, I have to say that this elegant temperament is really both inside and outside.
In addition to the high-quality chassis that brings comfort to the ride, there are many details in the lingfang that also add a lot to the comfort of the carriage. The overall material of the carriage can be said to be superior, and the leather material occupies most of the area of the center console, and the sense of grade is in place. At the same time, in terms of comfort configuration, the popularity of Lingfang is still relatively good, and the front seat heating, leather seats, and electric adjustment of the co-driver can be rain and dew in addition to the entry-level version.
If I want to say that the most reflective of the comfort of the carriage, I think it is also the NVH of the whole vehicle.
The first is that Lingfang uses double-layer sound insulation glass, from the chassis to the roof of the car, there is no stinginess in the use of sound insulation materials. If you don't believe it, open the trunk cover and there is a thick sound insulation material underneath. Secondly, the THS dual engine version has an innate advantage in tranquility, the whole system runs silky smoothly, and is happy to use electricity to drive at low and medium speeds, so the quietness it brings can naturally score high scores.
From the actual experience, these materials are not in vain, and the sound insulation level of Lingfang Shuangqing is very high. Sometimes it feels that some noise will be more prominent, and when the window is lowered to compare, it will be found that it has isolated us too much, so that we become sensitive to the perception of certain noises. I have to say that after driving the Lingfang, I was impressed by it, and I didn't expect it to be such a Toyota.

Write at the end
Many people will say that seeing a car is like seeing people, because what kind of people drive what kind of car is established in many cases. After a few days of experience, I found that the charm of LingFang is not only in the elegance it shows from the outside to the inside, but more importantly, it makes you elegant!
Toyota THS dual engine hybrid fuel saving ability, let people not be afraid of oil prices, no mileage anxiety, at the same time it also gives the vehicle NVH, power experience plus points, so that users can be more calm. With delicate steering and textured chassis performance, Ling Fang is like a well-behaved, gentle partner. In its company, I think you will deeply feel what is the attitude of dealing with things calmly.
Over time, if you see a car like a person, you may be talking about you!
