Toyota's strength in the past two years in China has been seen by everyone, not only in the traditional models continue to dominate the top of the sales list, but also launched a considerable number of new models. GAC Toyota Fenglanda was recently officially launched, and the whole series is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine as standard, which is the same as Lingshang's engine. The Positioning of the Frontlander is a compact SUV, which is higher than the C-HR positioning. But lower than the Veranda, which is also a compact SUV. It can be seen that it is a car born to enrich the product line and occupy more segments at the same time. So among the several configurations on the market, which one is the most suitable for us?
Feng Lanta and its sibling brand FAW Toyota's Corolla Ruifang have an inseparable relationship, they are all from overseas Corolla CROSS version models. It is roughly the same in terms of styling, but each family has its own ideas and has made a unique design in many details.
The front face of Fenglanda has a relatively large area of closed design, such as the overall closure of the middle net, and the hidden trim strip is made on the upper edge, which looks like a ventilation inlet, but it is actually closed. In this way, it seems a bit like a new energy vehicle. The lower bracket is designed with an irregular trapezoidal design, the inner mid-end of the grille is also closed, and there are fog lights on the lower parts on both sides.
There is not much to say about the side lines, it is a very common design, the front and rear wheel arches are slightly raised outwards. The window frame is not divided by bright colors, and the D-pillars, although divided by silver trims, are small in size and do not have the appearance of a suspended roof. The taillights may seem a little boring, with a trapezoidal design that uses a lot of black resin for more scratch resistance and a visually height increase. Overall, this car is more inclined to small SUVs or crossovers.
The interior part is actually very familiar to us, and the shape of Corolla and Leiling is the same concept, such as independent large screen, silver trim across the center console, air conditioning control area of physical buttons, traditional mechanical gear and so on. The difference from Corolla or Rayling is only in the details.
Fenglanda's seat materials have two kinds of fabric and leather according to the configuration, in terms of texture, it is definitely better than leather, but the fabric has the advantage of sitting in winter and summer, especially in the case of Fenglanda, the whole series does not have seat heating or ventilation function models, which can avoid the situation of "summer hot winter ice".
As mentioned earlier, There is only one kind of Power System and Lingshang, the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine can output up to 171Ps of horsepower and a maximum torque of 205N·m, matching the CVT gearbox. From the parameters of this set of powertrains, it can be seen that the Fenglanda will not be a model with driving passion, but more smooth and worry-free.
2022 2.0L CVT Elite Edition
Guidance price: 135,000 yuan
The entry-level version of Fenglanda, the price is about 20,000 yuan more expensive than the starting price of the same brand of Leiling, leaving aside the premium brought by the powertrain, in fact, the advantages of Fenglanda are not large, and even the disadvantages in lighting are obvious, yes, Fenglanda is the lowest use of halogen lamps. To be honest, the configuration of the entry-level model is relatively shabby, but fortunately Toyota's traditional multi-air bags are still retained, which is very helpful for safety improvement. Considering that the functional configuration is not strong, we do not recommend it.
2022 2.0L CVT Leading Edition
Guidance price: 145,000 yuan
The sub-low configuration adds active safety functions, including active braking, adaptive cruise, lane keeping assist, etc., so that active and passive safety is basically full, and more can be assured in terms of safety protection. In addition, the functional configuration has added keyless entry, one-key start, adaptive far and near light, etc., which enhances the convenience of using the car. Considering the spread, we think this version is very good value for money.
2022 2.0L CVT Deluxe Edition
Guidance price: 155,000 yuan
The luxury version is finally equipped with LED headlights and LED daytime lights, and the headlights have a matrix function, which is relatively rare in Toyota vehicles. In addition, the reversing image and the rear exhaust air outlet are more practical configurations, and the leather seats and mood lights are very helpful in improving the atmosphere in the car. If not on a budget, this version of the model is the one we recommend the most.
2022 2.0L CVT Deluxe PLUS Edition
Guidance price: 165,000 yuan
This version is very interesting, the rim size has become 18 inches, which is larger than the top model, which is more special. Other functional features include panoramic imaging, electric tailgate, and exterior mirror versatility. And from this level onwards, the central control screen is upgraded to 9 inches, which is more intelligent and supports speech recognition. However, since the price has reached this level, there may be many people who choose to increase the price of a higher level of models.
2022 2.0L CVT Premium Edition
Guidance price: 175,000 yuan
As mentioned earlier, the size of the premium rim at the top has been reduced to 17 inches, and other configurations have been increased normally, such as airbags, sunroofs, 7-inch LCD meters, leather steering wheels, automatic air conditioners, etc. The rear parking mine has reached the top of the match, which is an old tradition of Toyota, and the owner of the Toyota should be strange.
Although the price of this version is not cheap, from the perspective of functionality, safety, comfort and other aspects, it is not a problem to meet the needs of ordinary families. Although the price is not cheap, but considering the powertrain, specifications, configuration and other aspects, the cost performance is not low, so it is our most recommended model.
