Friends familiar with Toyota should know that its hardcore off-road SUV has many types, and even its fame is basically very loud. In addition, in order to adapt to the market environment of different regions, Toyota can also develop models specifically for this regional market. Just like the Prado, which is quite popular in the Middle East, it also has such a "sister version" model in the North American market. This product is 4Runner with the Chinese name of "Speedmaster" (which will continue to be called Speedmaster below). Of course, Toyota's product layout in China is not as fine as the overseas auto market. No, Prado is available domestically, and Super Power can also be bought domestically. Moreover, the latest Speedmaster currently on sale overseas, the 2021 Speedmaster TRD Pro model, has also arrived in Tianjin Port for sale. Without further ado, let's take a look at it from the new car given by a group of domestic import car dealers (the picture below comes from @parallel import car Xiaonan) to Hong Kong real photos.
As mentioned above, Speedmaster was born to adapt to the North American market. Therefore, the appearance of the new Speedmaster TRD Pro is, to a certain extent, more tough than prado. Just like its front face, the oversized grille not only has a blackened mesh, but also uses thick line trim. Combined with the sturdy headlamps and front bumpers, the visual impact is remarkable.
The side parts of the body, the sloping and stout C-pillar and hidden D-pillar design, coupled with the blackened rims under the sports kit and the powerful front and rear wheels, enhance its overall hardcore visual effect while also having some performance elements.
As for the rear of the new car, the taillights of the vertical cascade echo the sharpness of the headlights. The rear surround and trailer hook that stands in the middle of the same thick line fully echo its hardcore off-road SUV positioning.
The eyes come to the car, after all, it is a product that focuses on hardcore off-road. The interior of the new Speedmaster TRD Pro as a whole does not allow us to see too many on-trendy technological elements; even the functional layout of a large number of flat strip cutting and the use of a lot of hard materials make it look strongly plastic. However, the carbon fiber in the shift area, coupled with the leather materials for the front and rear seats, has a slight high-end texture and sporty elements.
In terms of power, the new Speedmaster TRD Pro will continue to use a 4.0L V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 273 horsepower and a peak torque of 377 Nm; but the engine already meets the National VIb emission standards. It is also matched by a 5AT gearbox with a manual time-sharing all-wheel drive and rear axle differential lock.
Overall, the new Speedmaster TRD Pro, whether it is the appearance or the power of national six emissions, seems to be more pleasing than Prado. However, according to domestic importers, its price is basically around 700,000 yuan, which is more expensive than Prado. So, will the new Speedmaster TRD Pro be something you're thinking about?
