Toyota, which began in 1933, has long discovered that the vast majority of consumers pay more attention to fancy car design and reliable car quality than the latter. Therefore, Toyota put a lot of energy into research and development and mechanical quality improvement, and in the end, Toyota has been recognized by the world for its stable and durable mechanical quality, and the reliable label has been branded on Toyota's body. To this day, the newly listed Fenglanda still continues this advantage.
On January 6, 2022, GAC Toyota's new TNGA compact SUV Fenglanda was officially launched today. A total of five models of the new car were launched, and the official guidance price was 125,800-169,800 yuan.
A comprehensive and well-established product lineup is also an important factor in Toyota's huge ownership. The listing of Fenglanda makes up for the lack of home SUV at the entry price of the brand, unlike C-HR with different positioning and a higher level of Veranda, Fenglanda is a compromise option. At the same time, the models of the "Landa" family also fully cover the price range of 100,000 yuan to 350,000 yuan.
Fenglanda's product strength can be best reflected in the three major parts, and the M20C engine it is equipped with has also been equipped by many models, down to lingshang and C-HR, up to camry and Veranda, all of which are equipped with the same engine, which is enough to prove the reliability of the M20C, plus 171 horsepower and 5.8 liters of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, and almost surpass all 2.0 NA engines on the market. The durable, low-failure CVT stepless gearbox is not to mention.
However, the fly in the ointment is that the Fenglanda is not independently suspended by the whole vehicle, and the rear suspension adopts the longitudinal arm twisting beam non-independent suspension, which is commonly known as the torque beam, so that the Fenglanda still has room for improvement in comfort and handling. Although many of the models of the same price range are torsion beams, there are not a few models equipped with multiple linkages, but considering factors such as cost adjustment and space occupation, it is also understandable. Coupled with the advantages of low center of gravity and high rigidity given by the TNGA-C architecture, the driving control texture can also be regarded as the mainstream level in the family car.
The car is not finished, and compared with the opponents of the same level, Feng Landa is still a little weak. Although we do not compare the domestic models with the dominant configuration at the same price point, compared with some models that are also joint ventures, it can be seen that the configuration is not the advantage of Fenglanda. But for joint venture models at the entry price point, we can't ask for too much luxury.
Of course, there are not so many functions and configurations, which means that the structure is simple and easy to maintain. From another point of view, it also makes a certain contribution to the practicality and low failure rate of Fenglanda to a certain extent. The current Fenglanda may not be able to impress us at present by relying on design, but for our parents, Toyota is definitely the best choice. After all, Toyota's brand influence in their hearts is far greater than we think.
Maybe you bought the Fenglanda today, and twenty years later, it will still continue to serve and shine in the hands of your children and grandchildren. Excellent and stable mechanical quality is the charm of Toyota.
