The right size and the right price are two key factors that give the compact SUV a high level of attention and exaggerated sales. If your car purchase budget is about 200,000 yuan, and you want to meet a variety of car use scenarios as much as possible, then the two models introduced to you by Uncle Che today can focus on it.
The 2021 Volkswagen Tuyue was launched in September last year, and the guidance price of the new car was 165,800 to 223,800 yuan. The 2022 Toyota Veranda completed a product update in November this year, and the price range of the new car is 171,800 to 242,800 yuan. From the price point of view, the two models have a high degree of overlap, the competition between the inevitable, the next uncle will choose the Tuyue top version of the model and the guidance price of 226,800 yuan 2022 Veranda four-wheel drive technology version for comparison, the price gap between the two is not large, so under this premise which model of product force is more prominent? Let's take a closer look.
Exterior design
The styling design of the exterior is a highlight of Tuyue, and the front face of the new car adopts a rock-cut design technique to make the front part of the car look very imposing. The shape of the grille is full of power, the characteristic lines on both sides of the cabin canopy symbolize the peaks, and the wide front does not allow the car to withstand too much wind resistance, on the contrary, its wind resistance coefficient is only 0.32Cd, which is far lower than that of the same class. The left and right sides of the square headlights group and the middle network connection, the interior is equipped with double U-shaped daytime running lights, the shape is slightly different from other models, the bottom is led turn signals, the air intake slots on both sides are not ornaments, after opening up can be used to reduce the wind resistance of the front of the car.
The Veranda is Rongfang's sister model, the chassis structure and power configuration of the two cars are exactly the same, but the difference in appearance is more obvious, the design of the car is obviously more wild, after all, its tail nameplate is written on the WILDLANDER (Wildernessman). The front surround of the new car has a strong sense of layering, and the spoiler decoration on both sides of the middle net is extremely three-dimensional, but there is no other functional configuration except for the fog lights. LED headlights are standard in Toyota Veranda, but the car has two light group forms, officially called LED headlights and projection LED headlights, the latter structure is a binocular LED light group with lenses, the visual effect is more stunning.
In terms of body size, Tuyue's specific length, width and height are 4453×1841×1632 mm, and the wheelbase is 2680 mm. The body side of the new model adopts Volkswagen's classic single-waist line design, and the proportion of the whole car conforms to the golden section law, which looks very comfortable, but the size is not dominant in the same class of models.
The specific length, width and height of Wilanda are 4665× 1855×1680 mm, and the wheelbase is 2690 mm, which is the leading in all data. The side lines of the new car body are very three-dimensional, from the visual point of view, the car seems to be more compact than the actual data, the technology version of the bottom of the car equipped with 18 inches of two-color wheels, the style is very special, may not be everyone can accept.
Tuyue rear shape and the front of the car as full, rich in layers, although not amazing, but indeed can not pick out too much fault, the tail light group modeling compared to the headlights mild a lot, the internal structure design inspiration from the boomerang, and the same all series of standard LED light source, the visual effect after lighting is great.
The Design details of the Velanda rear are rich, and the overall three-dimensional sense is outstanding enough. Among them, the new tail light group is relatively wide, the middle part is connected through the trim panel, extending the lateral visual effect of the tail, the tail light group internal light strip is arranged in a C-shaped arrangement, and the bottom position of the car is also the same as the new Rongfang, using a bilateral double exhaust port design, exposed exhaust holes give people a feeling of full power.
Interior design
Tuyue's car center console styling is different from other Volkswagen SUVs, this set of designs is completely created by the Chinese design team, which can be described as eating through the psychology of the Chinese people, not only maintaining the original tough style of the Volkswagen brand, but also creating a more youthful and in line with the trend of the times through the embellishment of materials, colors and details. The center console of the new car adopts a sandwich-like structural design, the top is soft-lined, the middle trim has the same gradient effect as langyi, and the bottom is wrapped in leather material with stitching. In addition, the new car is equipped with a 9.2-inch embedded touch LCD screen on the center console, which supports satellite navigation, Bluetooth car phone, mobile phone interconnection mapping, voice recognition control, and Internet of Vehicles in terms of functions.
Velanda's interior design is simple and layered, the materials are in line with the standard of compact SUVs, as a technology version, the car's various scientific and technological configurations are more comprehensive, although it can not compete with domestic brand models, but in overseas brands, its configuration richness is definitely at a high level. The new car matches the 10-inch color head-up display, which can not only display various driving information, but also display the functions of the car machine system such as navigation, while the new car is equipped with a 10.1-inch floating touch LCD screen, which has more road call rescue than Volkswagen Tuyue, but lacks the Internet of Vehicles.
The seats in the Tuyue car are wrapped in imitation leather fabric, and the functions have four-way adjustment of the height of the main driver's seat/ four-way adjustment of the waist support, the electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, and the heating of the front seat. The front seats of the new car are wide, the interior padding is soft, there is a certain sense of immersion when riding, and the backrest is close to the human body, and the wings on both sides are prominent, which is very well wrapped.
The velanda interior seats are wrapped in a mix of imitation leather + fabric materials, and the function is missing the two-way adjustment of the height of the passenger seat compared to the Volkswagen Tuyue, and the front seats are heated. The fabric and padding of the front seats of the new car are soft enough, compared to the premium version of the model at the same price, in addition to the different materials, the seat ventilation and heating functions are also missing.
The rear seats in the Tuyue car maintain the same level as the front row in terms of material application and workmanship, the seats on both sides have a certain degree of invertedness, the sense of wrapping is good, and the rear seat matches the air conditioning outlet and two USB interfaces to meet the daily needs of the car, but the bulge of the middle floor is very obvious, affecting the riding comfort of the middle passengers.
The Rear Seats in the Veranda are in line with the front seats in style and softness, with independent headrests and three-point harnesses in all three positions. Because of the hollow design of the top position of the car, its head space is very generous, and the backrest in the middle of the rear row is slightly stiffer, but the central platform bulge area can put down the feet, and the drop in height with the two sides is not exaggerated.

Tuyue is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum output of 186 horsepower and a peak torque of 320 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it is matched by a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

In general, Tuyue and Velanda are representative models of the joint venture compact SUV, and through the above comparison, we can see that the advantages of the two models are different, among which Tuyue has better power performance performance and more comprehensive functional matching, and Willanda has a more sporty exterior design, larger external dimensions and more generous rear seating space. In terms of sales, the cumulative sales of the two models in January to November 2021 were 79,454 units and 84,382 units, respectively, it seems that Toyota Veranda is still more popular, so in this round of showdown, The car uncle is more recommended is Veranda.
