[Aika car shopping guide original]
Click on the SUV sales list, and more than 50% of the top players are selected by the "compact team". The market heat is not reduced, and major car companies naturally hope to share more cakes. During the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show, GAC Toyota's new compact SUV Fenglanda debuted, and in less than two months, it ushered in the official listing, with a price range of 125,800-16.98 million yuan. According to the custom, we have produced a detailed car purchase manual at the first time, and we are willing to find the best solution for all prospective car owners.
Before that, my colleagues have already conducted a real-time shooting experience of Fenglanda, if you are interested in the design, space, etc. of the car, you may wish to click on the review chart below to read the relevant articles.
Fenglanda originates from the GA-C platform under the TNGA architecture, the "three circumferences" are greater than C-HR, and the wheelbase is also 2640mm. With the help of straight roof lines and wide windows, Fenglanda has a wider rear view than C-HR, and the household attributes are more obvious.
In terms of power, Fenglanda is equipped with the same M20C 2.0L engine as C-HR, and the two are only slightly different in torque platform. Matched to the engine is the Direct Shift-CVT transmission with the starting gear set (simulated 10 gears).
Fenglanda car purchase manual 丨 Basic information introduction
Due to the use of the same powertrain, the relationship between the five models of the Fenglanda series is very clear, and the difference between the lowest and the lower is 14,000 yuan, in addition, the difference between the other 3 sets of adjacent configuration levels is 10,000 yuan.
The elite version of the entry-level model has 7 airbags, which lacks rear side airbags compared to the top, but has been consistent with other models. It is also equipped with an 8-inch central control screen, supporting Apple Carplay, Baidu CarLife, HUAWEI HiCar, covering the vast majority of smartphones on the market, which can fully make up for the lack of native functions of the car machine. However, putting aside the above highlights, the elite version is still too "rough room", the sunroof, reversing image, ADAS are all absent, and the near and far lights are also halogen, which is slightly weak in the two dimensions of safety and comfort.
The leading version of the sub-low model has added a complete Toyota Safety Sense safety, including full-speed adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, active braking, etc., to a certain extent, to improve safety, keyless entry /start, the addition of electric sunroof also upgraded the daily car experience, but combined with the difference of 14,000 yuan, the overall increase is not large, here is not much to recommend.
The luxury version of the medium-equipped model finally replaced the halogen headlights with LED headlights, at the same time, the tail lights were upgraded to the light strip type, the front grille and rear bumper kit were changed from high-brightness black to titanium silver gray, the wheel rim style and the window trim were also consistent with the top match, and the appearance of the high-grade sense was instantly launched. In the "Inner Beauty" section, the highly frequently used configurations such as reversing images, electric adjustment of the main driver seat, and rear exhaust air outlets are completed at one time, and leather seats and interior mood lights are responsible for icing on the cake to meet the needs of the family in an all-round way. On the whole, the deluxe version is equipped with enough equipment and moderate price, and it was successfully elected as the 5-star recommended model this time.
Where is the luxury PLUS version of the sub-top model? It further clarifies consumer preferences, upgrading the 17-inch rim to 18 inches, and the new panoramic image, electric luggage compartment + induction opening, LED front fog lights, external mirror electric folding + heating can undoubtedly bring a more comfortable experience. The luxury PLUS version of the central control screen from 8 inches to 9 inches, built-in Toyota Enjoy intelligent car system, increase voice assistant, online navigation, OTA upgrades and other functions, unfortunately, mobile phone interconnection / mapping with the change of car machine disappeared, for users who are accustomed to using Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife, HUAWEI HiCar some more than worth the loss. The Deluxe PLUS Edition is suitable for consumers who have high expectations for configuration richness and have not yet formed a dependence on mobile phone interconnection/mapping, and the model itself is worth recommending, but the priority is slightly lower than that of the Deluxe Edition.
Top model premium version as a "super cup", and back to the 17-inch wheels is a bit confusing, its exclusive configuration includes leather steering wheel, 7-inch instrument display (other models are 4.2 inches), panoramic sunroof, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, roof rack, interior mirror automatic anti-glare, rear parking radar, rear side airbags, etc., the price is also sufficient, suitable for friends with sufficient budget. Personally, I think that at the price of 170,000 yuan, "high-half-gear" models such as Willanda and CR-V are within reach, and the top edge Landa is really "OK, but not necessary".
Feng Landa all 5 models, I most recommend that you buy the luxury version, its appearance and the top of the basic no difference, the common comfort configuration is also covered seven seven eight eight, but also provides a wealth of mobile phone interconnection / mapping function, the old Toyota owners can not help but look at envy. If you think that mobile phone interconnection/mapping is not just needed, and want to have a good-looking large rim and a convenient electric luggage compartment, the deluxe PLUS version will be more suitable for you.
Editor's comments: Feng Landa attacked the city of Qashqa and T-ROC Tange while encroaching on the territory of Xingyue L and Chang'an CS75 PLUS, which is an indispensable piece of the puzzle for the "Landa Family". Its design pursues the original taste, the configuration inherits the fine tradition of the TNGA architecture, with 7 airbags as standard, and the power is mainly "stable", using the battlefield-tested 2.0L + CVT combination. Combined with Toyota's brand recognition, Fenglanda seems to want to continue the sales myth of its predecessors.
Interestingly, starting from 2021, Toyota has gradually added Apple CarPlay to some domestic models, and the majority of iPhone users finally do not have to look at overseas versions or "find another way" for themselves. At this stage, toyota and Honda's strategy is basically the same, low-end models rely on simple car machine + mobile phone interconnection / mapping to reduce costs, high-end models use complex vehicles, higher costs, rich ecology but a sense of use. In this way, consumers who hold coins to buy have one more point to struggle with.
