In the field of new energy vehicles, Toyota's slow action and weak performance have been criticized by the outside world, and it is considered to be a new outlet for missing the automotive industry. However, in the field of traditional fuel vehicles, Toyota still has a very strong strength. According to the sales data, gac motor Toyota's cumulative sales in 2021 are 828,000 vehicles, and FAW Toyota's cumulative sales are 860,000 vehicles, which has a strong market influence. In addition to the more reliable three major parts, Toyota Motor's perfect product lineup is also the key to success. In the case of unclear prospects for the auto market, more subdivided models can also improve Toyota's ability to resist risks.
On February 6, the 2022 Toyota Fenglanda was officially launched, and a total of 5 models of new cars were launched, with a price range of 125,800-169,800 yuan. Fenglanda is a compact SUV, positioned lower than Veranda, but its price is more affordable, the cost performance is relatively high, so the performance in the market is still good. So which of the 5 new models is more worth getting started?
appearance
The new car adopts a family design language and is based on the TNGA architecture, which is actually an SUV version of the Toyota Corolla, so it is closer to the Corolla in terms of appearance and style, not how amazing, but more attractive and not easy to become obsolete. At the same time, its unique headlight shape can also attract many young consumers.
The new car has a body length of 4485mm and a wheelbase of 2640mm, which is not competitive even in a compact SUV, and there will be obvious fatigue during a long ride. The flaws in the interior space will definitely make it lose a part of the potential home users.
The rear of the new car is relatively simple, using a large size of split tail lights, which have a high degree of recognition after lighting up at night. At the same time, this car also adopts a black rear surround, and a horizontal chrome decorative strip is added to the rear surround to embellish, and the sense of sport is still relatively strong.
Interior
Most of Toyota's models do not pay much attention to interior design, and The Positioning of Fenglanda is relatively low, and there is not much to do in terms of interior. All models use ordinary dashboards, the shape of the suspension central control screen is also relatively general, and a large number of hard plastics make its sense of grade greatly reduced. In addition, the car's functions and configurations are also relatively general, and common functions such as satellite navigation, voice recognition, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, and even reversing images are only available on some high-end models.
The seat shape of the new car is more beautiful, and the wrapping of the human body is also relatively strong. At the same time, the car also provides main driver waist support, electric adjustment and other functions on several high-end models, which slightly makes up for the shortcomings in comfort.
The new car has a body length of less than 4.5 meters, so the rear space is relatively small. Such a flaw was inherited from Corolla, and the car experience is relatively average. The new car is fully equipped with manual air conditioning and PM2.5 filtration device, in fact, it should be improved more is the seat material, workmanship and other aspects, PM2.5 filtration and the like on the impact on comfort is not obvious.
impetus
Fenglanda inherits the tradition that Japanese cars do not like turbocharged engines, and all of its models are equipped with 2.0T naturally aspirated engines, matched with CVT transmissions, with a maximum power of 126 kW and a maximum torque of 205 N·m. This kind of power performance is okay on the Corolla, but it is a bit inadequate on the compact SUV of the Frontlanda. But what is strange is that the driving assistance function of this car is relatively powerful, except for the lowest model, the rest of the models support lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, active braking and other functions.
Model overview
Fenglanda is built by Toyota in order to reduce the average selling price of the SUV camp, which is equivalent to an enlarged version of Toyota's Corolla, so space and power are not its selling points, and the more affordable price is where its competitiveness lies. Among the 5 newly launched models, the 2022 2.0L CVT Deluxe Edition is reasonably priced, the configuration is relatively good, and the cost performance is the highest, so it is the most worthwhile of the 5 models.
2022 CVT Elite Edition: 125,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★
Reason for recommendation: The configuration of the entry-level model is too low
All the entry-level models, all aspects of the configuration are relatively weak. In terms of safety configuration, this car has front and rear head airbags and front side airbags, knee airbags, in addition to supporting car phones, mobile phone interconnection, internal rearview mirror manual anti-glare, in-car PM2.5 filter devices and other configurations, the price is low, the configuration level is relatively low, so it is not worth starting.
2022 CVT leading version: 139,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★
Recommended reason: The configuration has been improved
New lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, electric sunroof, keyless start, front keyless entry, adaptive far and near light and other configurations, the configuration has been significantly improved, and the cost performance has also been improved.
2022 CVT Deluxe Edition: 149,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★★
Recommended reason: the price is close to the people, and the configuration is rich
New reversing images, imitation leather seats, main driver electric adjustment, 2-way waist support, matrix headlights, LED daytime running lights, interior atmosphere lights, rear seat air outlets and other configurations, reasonable price, cost-effective, is the most worthwhile of the five models.
2022 CVT Deluxe PLUS Edition: 159,800 yuan
Referral Index: ★★★★
Recommended reason: The configuration is more abundant, but the price is higher
New 18-inch tires, 360-degree panoramic images, electric trunk, satellite navigation, 9-inch central control screen, voice recognition system, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, LED front fog lights, external mirror heating and other functions, the configuration level is obviously improved, but the price is too high.
2022 CVT Premium Edition: 169,800 yuan
Recommended reason: The configuration improvement is not obvious, and the price is too high
The whole series of top models, the new rear parking radar, can open the panoramic sunroof, roof luggage rack, 7-inch LCD dashboard, temperature partition control and other configurations, the configuration level is not obvious, but the price is relatively high, so it is not worth starting.
Summary: Toyota Fenglanda has nothing to offer in terms of interior, space and configuration level, which is also the consistent style of Japanese cars. However, its price is still more attractive, if the user pays more attention to Toyota's three major pieces and retention rate, and does not care too much about the car experience, then this car is a good choice.
