In this issue of "Editor-in-Chief Experience", we invited three senior editor-in-chief teachers to come to appreciate this 2021 Leiling Dual Engine Sports Edition at close range to see if it has enough charm to make everyone clap their hands one by one?
Kai Zhen: The sports version has finally become sporty
The appearance part is composed of the editor-in-chief of the countless information group of the car, senior Toyota fans, and the owner of the old Leiling Double Engine Sports Edition, who is a detailed explanation for everyone.
When Qi Zhen first saw this Leiling Shuangqing Sports Edition, he couldn't help but exclaim: The Leiling Shuangqing Sport Edition has really become sporty this time! For him, the shape of the old Leiling Dual Engine Sport in his hand is indeed a little less interesting in the creation of a sporty atmosphere, only some features on the headlights and wheels. Today, the new Leiling has added a sports kit for the sports version, making the appearance more distinctive and personalized, and the sports atmosphere is finally strong.
Xie Peng: The interior is practical and the configuration is super high
Xie Peng, as the editor-in-chief of the news group, has been mixed in the first-hand information scene of the car circle for many years, and there will always be his figure at various new car appearances and press conferences, and he has already read countless cars, and he also has his own set of standards for judging the interior of a car. In his words, car interiors do not need to be too fancy, not necessarily looking complex, full of materials is "luxurious", the highest realm of interior design lies in the "combination of man and machine", that is, "ergonomic" design must meet the standards. More generally speaking, a family car like Leiling Shuangqing can be "comfortable to look at", "easy to use", "configuration is powerful", that is enough.
In Xie Peng's view, there is no particularly brilliant central control design of Leiling Shuangqing, and everything is mainly functional, which is also the attitude that a family car should have.
Leiling Shuangqing is equipped with a plastic steering wheel on most of the configuration models, and xie Peng did not particularly understand it in the early days, the dashboard is the place where the eyes stay the longest, and the steering wheel is the place where the skin touches the longest, and there is no good feel how to say it. But after Xie Peng personally got started, he gradually understood Toyota's approach. Although the steering wheel material is molded, the delicacy of the feel is not bad, the material is very skin-friendly, and it will not be like the leather steering wheel, because the perennial palm sweat corrodes it and becomes a sticky feel. In addition, it is commendable that the steering wheel is not in order to chase the wind to create a sense of movement, and the steering wheel is made into a flat bottom, the driver who has experienced it for a long time must have experienced, the flat-bottom steering wheel just looks sporty, really comfortable to use, suitable for driving, the circle is the most suitable, a family car in daily driving, who will not find the steering wheel position because of a few turns.
Leiling Shuangqing has also done a good job in terms of technology configuration. The 9-inch central control screen itself has a built-in system with good fluency, the UI interface is not fancy, but it is practical enough, and the operation options can always be seen at a glance.
As one of the most popular configurations at the moment, mobile phone mapping, it is not absent in the Raling cockpit. It is worth mentioning that The Ralink Dual Engine not only provides WeLink for Fun Drive, but also supports Baidu CarLife, which can be said to solve the interconnection needs of most Toyota Ralink users.
In addition, Leiling Shuangqing is also equipped with the car networking function, which can be interconnected with the vehicle through the "Fengyunxing" APP, and when the vehicle forgets to lock the car and close the window/sunroof, the APP will pop up the window reminder in the mobile phone. In addition, there are more practical functions are positioning car search and maintenance reminders, imagine that it is not easy to find your own car in the huge parking lot, but through the location of the APP to use the navigation way to successfully find the car.
Guan Yu is the editor-in-chief of the actual testing team and has driven many different types of cars, but he admits that for family cars such as Leiling Shuangqing, he pays more attention to driving quality and fuel economy. The dynamic driving part is left to him to test.
summary
After some experience, the three senior editors-in-chief gave a very high evaluation for this Leiling double engine. The first is Qi Zhen as Yan Control, he is obviously satisfied with the appearance of this Leiling Double Engine Sport version. In his view, as the current trend of rejuvenation, the bold and cool design of Leiling Shuangqing allows him to see the "Japanese system" and different "Toyota" that are different from the impression, and the shape is no longer as "careful" as in the past, the design is bolder, and the temperament is more open. Such a change must be lethal for young people.
Secondly, the steady internal performance of Leiling Shuangqing also successfully passed Xie Peng's strict control, whether it is a practical layout, solid material workmanship or incomparable technology and comfort configuration at the same level, which made Xie Peng praise and give a thumbs up.
Finally, the dynamic driving part, in Guan Yu's view, The Leiling Double Engine THS Toyota Hybrid System is indeed worthy of the name, power performance, driving quality, extreme performance, fuel economy, all can be taken care of, for home users it is almost difficult to pick out any faults.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that the 2022 Leiling has been officially listed, and the new model in addition to the power system parameters are basically the same as the 2021 model, continue to maintain the advantages of sufficient power and good driving quality, mainly for the configuration has been improved, such as the addition of vehicle remote start air conditioning, SRS airbag and emergency rescue linkage and other very practical functions. In addition, a new 1.5L sport version of Raling has been added, with an exclusive flying wing sport tail.
