In order to be able to sit firmly in the increasingly competitive compact SUV market, Toyota has recently adopted an unfavorable two-car strategy, in which GAC Toyota has come up with a Fenglanda that follows the Japanese version of the Corolla Cross, which is positioned lower than Velanda and RAV4 Rongfang, focusing on economical and practical high cost performance, and the current pre-price is 13.50-17.50 million yuan. In order to verify whether this "upstart" can withstand the scrutiny of the market, the "veteran" of Volkswagen Tuyue was specially invited to be its opponent.
In the face of contemporary young consumers, which of the two is stronger or weaker, who can be the existence of the optimal solution? Let's take a look.
Appearances vary in style, fashion and stability
GAC Toyota Fenglanda adopts the design of the Japanese version of the Corolla Cross, which is basically not adjusted, and the strong cross-border elements make it full of fashion and sports.
The front face is a wide front grille, surrounded by a wide silver decorative strip, embedded with a black net, and a sharply shaped narrow long light group, giving people a rough and layered feeling. The design style of the rear of the car is the same as that of the front of the car, and the slender taillight group and the black plastic wrapped rear surround highlight a good sense of layering and sportiness.
Tuyue is still familiar with the public "middle way" aesthetic design, there is no bright place, but people can not get tired of watching for a long time, the overall feeling is concise and stable, the overall sense is strong.
The details outlined in the net in the front face add a bit of refinement, and the angular front is surrounded by a large headlight group, which is quite tough. The rear design is more simple than the front of the car, the tail light group is angular, and the top tail wing adds a little sporty.
The interior tends to be normalized, and the materials used by Fenglanda are better
Enter the car, you will find that the interior layout of Fenglanda does not use the latest asymmetrical design style, the overall feeling is still very "Toyota", the instrument is a liquid crystal and mechanical mix-and-match configuration, somewhat outdated, the central control screen design is a suspension design, below the air conditioning and multimedia control area, the central control area is quite high position is more convenient for users to operate.
In terms of configuration, Fenglanda is equipped with the "Fengyun Yuexiang" Zhixing interconnection service, which can support the remote control of the vehicle by mobile phone, but according to the previous Operation of Toyota, this configuration will most likely only appear in medium and high-end models.
Volkswagen's normalized interior layout allows people familiar with Volkswagen to control Tuyue with ease, embedded central control screens, and lower air conditioning control areas. Among them, the touch screen can support functions such as mobile phone interconnection mapping, voice recognition control, and internet of vehicles. However, U1S1, in the central control control, it is obvious that the higher position of the sharper Landa is more convenient.
In addition, although both use a mixture of soft and hard materials in the material, but in the places where Fenglanda often touches, it is covered with soft materials, compared to Tuyue, which will not be "flexible".
Diversified performance options, Tuyue is more favored
In terms of power, Fenglanda is equipped with the same 2.0L self-priming engine as C-HR, with a maximum power of 171 horsepower, and the transmission system matches the CVT stepless transmission; in contrast, Tuyue's choices in power are undoubtedly more, providing 1.4T (150 horsepower) / 2.0T (186 horsepower) engines, and matching 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission and 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission respectively.
In addition, it should be mentioned that Fenglanda uses a non-independent suspension of the rear torque beam, although it has been carefully adjusted by Toyota, but in the eyes of many people, it is still difficult to compare with Tuyue's rear multi-link independent suspension in terms of comfort.
Through a simple static comparison, we can find that Fenglanda and Tuyue have a lot of differences, Fenglanda in the styling design more emphasis on sports and fashion, interior materials are also a lot of effort, but in the sense of technology and performance is slightly lacking. Although the veteran Tuyue is not fashionable in terms of styling design, its "middle way" product strength has also attracted the favor of many consumers. In the future, if Feng Landa wants to get a bargain on Tuyue, it is obvious that he will have to make some more efforts.
