As the Most Loyal Japanese Brand for Consumers to Vote with Their Wallets, Toyota's products often have a much higher chance of "breaking the show" than their competitors. The hot sales of the new generation of products are actually expected, leaving aside the Toyota brand effect, in the final analysis, there are two major reasons, that is, the excellence of the TNGA architecture and the widespread popularity of dual engine power.
One thing to say, under the support of product strength, most of the Toyota models will indeed be more expensive than the competitors, highlander is the most obvious example, and the dual engine models are mostly in the form of high power.
However, the model to be experienced today is not only based on the TNGA architecture, but also has two attractive selling points of SUV and dual engine power, and the most important thing is that the starting price is not more than 150,000 yuan. It is the C-HR dual engine from GAC Toyota.
Pleasing look and precise handling of the pointing
The appearance of the HR dual engine is basically the same as that of ordinary C-HR models, and only in some details can it be seen that this is a hybrid model, such as the blue logo and the logo on the side.
Exquisite and cute, delicate but not stingy, it is most appropriate to describe the appearance of C-HR.
The overall appearance of the C-HR model tends to be sporty, and the overall appearance is a strong sports posture, like a small leopard ready to go, the design of the back + small tail wing, gets the point that young consumers like. Although the size is not large, the personalization of this small SUV is still very good from the perspective of personal driving.
Chelizi Editor has test-driven many TNGA architecture models, and its low center of gravity and high rigidity make the driver very "cool" to control. Especially when cornering, the precise pointing with the shorter body wheelbase, you can easily feel the thrill of "human-vehicle integration", which is also not felt by other TNGA models with longer wheelbase.
In the previous video, Chelizi editors also said that the control of the dual engine power and the TNGA model is a perfect match. In the low-speed state, the pure electric drive C-HR dual engine is very sensitive to driving, deep on the throttle 2.0L self-priming engine intervention, C-HR dual engine can give ordinary self-priming models more sufficient power output, with excellent control, it is really wonderful.
Dual engine: the savior of high fuel consumption in the 7 yuan era
Although the starting price of the C-HR 2.0L dual-engine model is 18,000 yuan higher than that of the 2.0L version (2.0L Comfort Edition) with the same configuration, I personally think it is still very valuable. Leaving aside elements such as power and comfort, let's calculate an economic account.
For example, in a first-tier city like Guangzhou, where "one indicator is difficult to find", the dual-engine version of C-HR can be obtained in the form of energy-saving index lottery, and the bid can be won in an average of several months, invisibly saving a large amount of card sales.
In addition, after the actual testing of C-HR dual engine, I fully felt the "coolness" brought about by low fuel consumption. As low as 4L per 100 kilometers of fuel consumption, according to the 7 yuan of No. 92 gasoline to calculate, almost less than 3 cents a kilometer. In the face of congestion, C-HR shows its strong and strong characteristics, stop-and-go is more fuel-efficient (low speed with pure electric drive). With the same 2.0L displacement model, the urban congestion section is basically 6-7 cents per kilometer.
The C-HR dual engine with a 50% discount can be called the savior of the 7 yuan oil price era.
Write at the end
For friends who like SUVs and hybrids, the emergence of C-HR dual engine has undoubtedly become an unavoidable choice, coupled with Toyota's quality endorsement, it is really difficult for you to find such a comprehensive product in the same level of competitors. Maybe the price is slightly more expensive than ordinary fuel models, but choosing a dual engine, I think it is definitely a decision that I will not regret.
