Toyota has always been a sales legend in the automotive industry, with a number of best-selling models that sell more than 10,000, but such a powerful Toyota has planted a heel in the Lingshang car.
According to the data of the Car 300 used car APP, Lingshang only sold 331 units in November, which is the lowest level among all Toyota models.
In fact, at the beginning of the listing, Toyota also had high hopes for Lingshang, and like the sister model Asiatic Lion, Lingshang launched the purpose of competing with Volkswagen Sagittarius and winning the A+ market segment for Toyota.
But now it seems to be the opposite, the first listed Asiatic lion monthly sales are stable at about three or four thousand units, and the late months of listing of Ling Shang, is not more than a thousand for several consecutive months. Neither of these two high-staked models helped Toyota achieve its goals.
In terms of appearance, Ling Shang's Chinese special supply car did not let people see the new meaning, and was jokingly called "Lei Ling after elongation" by netizens.
The front face is shaped like a hybrid of Ralink and Camry, the headlight group is similar to the Ralink Sport, and the large-size grille has a bit of Camry's shadow.
In terms of body dimensions, the length, width and height are 4695/1780/1435 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2750 mm, of which the length and wheelbase are 55 mm and 50 mm more than the Raling.
However, lingshang's width and height have not increased, the rear row is only an increase in legroom, it is still crowded to sit three people, and the head space will be small.
In the interior, it is still toyota's family design style, the overall practicality is the mainstay, equipped with a 12.3-inch LCD instrument, a 9-inch central control screen, and the TSS 2.0 security system is standard.
A lot of leather wrapping is added to the car, which makes it feel better. In addition, the high-end model also adopts two-color seats and is equipped with rose gold trim strips, which is more classy.
Powered by the Camry's 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, the drivetrain is mated to a simulated 10-speed CVT transmission with a maximum power of 171 hp and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. Power can be said to be the biggest difference between Ling Shang and Lei Ling.
Overall, the performance of Lingshang in all aspects of this car is still good, but the whole series only provides two models, making consumers' choices very limited.
In addition, Lingshang's pricing is as high as 1488-15.88 million yuan, which is more than 10,000 yuan higher than sagitar's starting price, and compared with Leiling, which is not completely distinguished in product strength, it is also more than 30,000 yuan higher, which makes many netizens feel that Lingshang's cost performance is much lower. It is not difficult to understand why Ling Shang has such a dismal sales performance.
