Looking back at the entire 2021 automotive circle, if you want to ask who is the most active car company this year, the answer must be GAC Toyota. As a market vane, it can be said that Toyota's every move has been stared at by competitors and consumers, but GAC Toyota still resisted the pressure, in this dragon and tiger fighting market, GAC Toyota subtly from different angles layer by layer into the market, blooming everywhere, the launch of more in line with consumer models, especially in the fourth generation highlander and Xena launched, causing heated discussion.
But this is obviously not enough, GAC Toyota with the world's leading TNGA architecture to once again strengthen the strength of the SUV lineup, not only to achieve full coverage of the mainstream SUV segment from large SUVs to small SUVs, but also to bring consumers a highly competitive higher quality new choice.
The launch of Veranda and Weisa, together with the luxury seven-seat SUV benchmark Highlander, the four-wheel drive medium-sized SUV value benchmark Veranda, and the global strategic trend SUV C-HR, jointly create consumers who meet the needs of each level, and each level of products is differentiated and complementary, and together condensed into the system capabilities of the TNGA architecture.
As of November this year, GAC Toyota's cumulative sales exceeded 6.08 million units, and the hottest of them is the SUV camp. Gac Toyota SUV's "pyramid" layout fully covers market demand, and the new fourth-generation Highlander has accumulated 52,000 orders in the five months of listing, which is a well-deserved benchmark for seven SUVs. Another "Lanta Brothers" Willanda sold more than 18,000 units in November, setting a new monthly sales record for four-wheel drive models with multi-power and multi-drive systems, and the listing of C-HR also won a lot of praise.
Today's young families not only need a stylish appearance, but also need to take care of the travel of family members, "making up" for the weakness of the C-HR car's lack of household use.
Fenglanda's body size can be said to be the leading level in the same class, with a length, width and height of 4485mm/1825mm/1620mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. Although it has the same wheelbase as the C-HR, the space inside the car is very different. Moreover, the rear space takes good care of the grandfather, with up to 775mm of rear head space at the same time, holding the baby on and off the car is also much easier, it is worth mentioning that and adjustable angle rear seats, for members of the back seat, especially for long-distance rides are very friendly. As a family car, the storage aspect is of course a point to consider. The Fenglanda trunk capacity can hold 4 22-inch and 2 24-inch cabin cases, and the loading capacity is leveraged. Fenglanda also intimately lowers the height of the trunk from the ground to facilitate users to carry goods.
Fenglanda is equipped with a 2.0L engine, matching a 10-speed Direct Shift-CVT transmission that can simulate the maximum This is the classic golden power combination of TNGA models, home-grade power, smooth gear shifting, very in line with Fenglanda's market positioning, the power of the vehicle is 126kW, and the fuel consumption of the comprehensive working condition (NEDC) is as low as 5.7L/100km. It is a pity that this time Fenglanda is not equipped with Toyota's dual-engine hybrid system, but in the future, GAC Toyota may make up for this defect.
Fenglanda's high-end model will be equipped with a 7-inch instrument panel and an 8-inch floating central control screen. In terms of configuration, it is also conscientious, supporting a variety of smart phones, intelligent anti-pinch electric induction tailgate, driver's seat power seat and other popular functions are also matched.
In terms of active safety, Fenglanda is equipped with Toyota Collision Avoidance Assist Suit, which has reached the level of quasi-L2 automatic driving, which is basically used in models at the same price, including PCS pre-collision safety system and DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, which still has a certain auxiliary effect on driving travel.
For the new GOA high rigidity body of the TNGA architecture is still very confident, due to the reason of the TNGA chassis, the center of gravity of the vehicle is reduced very low, the car has a small sense of roll when turning, and the whole series is equipped with 7 or more SRS airbags as standard, which ensures the advantage of passive safety of Fenglanda at the same price.
As a new product of GAC Toyota for the small/compact SUV market layout, the Fenglander ratio starts at a lower price than the C-HR of the same class. However, the pre-price of the top-equipped model of The FrontLander is higher than that of the C-HR fuel version. However, due to the difference in the main market of the two vehicles, GAC Toyota Fenglanda and C-HR also have a very prominent appearance difference in style. Although they belong to the same level, their users are completely different. Feng Lanta will be more oriented to the home and economical market, while the C-HR is more suitable for users who emphasize driving texture, so although the two cars are priced, they will not affect their sales. Similarly, FengLanda and the brother car Corolla Sharp Fang will not appear left and right, but more in line with Toyota's two-car strategy, while seizing the market, the previous Crown Land And Highlander are already good examples.
Different from the positioning of Fenglanda, Wesa's positioning is a high-grade SUV, providing users with high-quality driving travel and a luxurious and comfortable riding experience. Weisa's positioning is between Highlander and Veranda, and GAC Toyota's launch of Weisa is also eyeing the gap in the market segment of this price segment. After all, GAC Toyota has not yet had a model in the price range of 200,000 to 300,000 that can truly show Toyota's exquisite workmanship.
The car can be traced back to 1997, the predecessor of Wesa is HARRIER, Lexus RX and Toyota HARRIER are very closely related, it can also be said that the year was a replacement lexus RX. From this point of view, the strength of Wei Sa cannot be underestimated. However, the audience of this car is not very wide, after all, at a price of nearly 300,000, a large 5-seat model is not an advantage.
Wei Sa's front face looked very good
Sharp, headlights and tail lights are used LED light source, Wei Sa's headlights are long, headlights have a double L shape inside, tail lights adopt an integrated through layout, and the sense of science and technology is greatly improved.
Weisa body length and width of 4780mm/ 1855mm / 1660mm, wheelbase of 2690mm, after all, is positioned is a luxury quality SUV, many places in the car are basically using a large area of high-grade soft cover, including dashboard, center console, armrest box, inner door panel, the car will be touched by hand will be made of leather fabric, holding a more delicate, with traditional SUVs do not have the elegance and texture. The dual color block design also brings a more advanced visual experience.
Of course, the configuration of Weisa is also inseparable from the word luxury. For the first time, Wesa is equipped with Toyota's latest dimming panoramic sunroof, in fact, this is a good change, because most users buy the sunroof does not open several times a year, and the dimming panoramic sunroof can be used more frequently, after all, 1 second can switch the dimming mode and the transmission mode is much more convenient than the sunroof. JBL Premium Audio will be installed on the Elite Edition and above models of WISA.
The configuration is full of energy, 12.3-inch instrument + 12.3-inch central control double large screen + 10-inch HUD head-up display, this set of intelligent screens brings a good driving experience to the driver, especially the HUD head-up display, which enhances the driving experience. Why is it that after driving a good car, you can't go back, a big reason is that the car has to be soundproofed. Wesa has added a lot of sound insulation materials, and the window glass has also been designed with thickening, so that drivers can better enjoy driving. After all, it is a large five-seater model, and the new shock absorbers ensure the comfort of the rear seat.
Wesa will be equipped with two powertrains, 2.0L and 2.5L HEV, both available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.
The 2.0L model adopts a 2.0L engine, matches the CVT transmission, and the fuel consumption of 100 km in comprehensive working conditions (NEDC) is as low as 5.9L; the 2.5L dual-engine model adopts a 2.5L engine, equipped with an E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, and the fuel consumption of 100 km in comprehensive working conditions (NEDC) is as low as 4.5L, and the cruising range can reach more than 1000 km.
What is not in the United States and China is that the pre-price of the 22 is only equipped with quasi-L2 level automatic driving, although this driving assistance system is enough, but compared with other competitors, Toyota still needs to strengthen in this regard, after all, there is still a certain gap between the quasi-L2 level and the L2 level.
With the arrival of Feng Landa and Weisa, consolidating the GAC Toyota TNGA SUV family, SUV product "pyramid" layout gradually took shape, although the models of various price segments are involved, but users not only care about the performance of the product, retention rate, value, more attention to the degree of peace of mind of daily driving, if the model can be more careful in the configuration, I believe that production and sales can be a higher level.
