For the difference between toyota and Honda two major brands, some people say that Honda belongs to the spirit of craftsmanship, only to build a good car, while Toyota is a businessman thinking, just to make a lot of money. Perhaps this statement is slightly exaggerated, but it is undeniable that there is indeed a certain objective basis for support.
All along, Honda's products have always maintained a close to the people's price, just like the mainstream model CRV, Accord and other products are recognized by the market as having a solid product quality and quality, but also because of its excellent product quality to enhance the guidance price, it still maintains a reasonable standard in the subdivision field, giving people a gentleman love money and the way to get the feeling.
Toyota is different, the price of almost every model is slightly higher than the same level, the price of the Asiatic Lion is higher than that of the same level sagittarius, the price of the Asian Dragon is even higher than that of a number of joint venture B-class cars, and the price of Highlander after the revamp is also much higher than that of Guandao, URV, Ruijie, etc., while the price of Toyota's Lexus brand products is not to mention more, and the price increase behavior seems to have become a common thing, so the consumer market's evaluation of Toyota is also its excessive pursuit of profits.
However, from the new products released by Toyota recently, we found that Toyota seems to have changed its previous style, and the price of the new product Toyota Fenglanda has not been "superior". The guidance price of the car is from 125,800 yuan, the top model is 169,800 yuan, to know that this is much cheaper than the same level XRV, after all, the starting price of the Honda XRV is 127,900 yuan, and it is a manual transmission model, and the entry-level price of the automatic transmission reaches 132,900 yuan, which is 7100 yuan more expensive than the Feng Lanta, and the most important thing is that the Honda XRV still maintains the old product strength today, and the New Product launched by The Front Landa as a new product launched by GAC Toyota, both in design, power, Configuration and other aspects have surpassed XRV.
In view of The Product Strength of Fenglanda, we need to mention the following points:
The whole series of 2.0L + CVT, NEDC fuel consumption 5.7-5.8L / 100km
The first is the power matching, Fenglanda not only the whole series of standard CVT automatic transmission, but also the standard of the 2.0L engine, that is, Yize, RAV4 Rongfang of the same model, the maximum power of 171 horsepower, the peak torque of 205 Nm, and XRV's 1.5L power is not a level at all, the user experience will also be more rapid start, more powerful limit speed and more brisk acceleration experience.
At the same time, in terms of fuel consumption, Fenglanda is also optimized very well, in the NEDC working conditions of 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption is only 5.7-5.8L, the same is the addition of No. 92 fuel, than Honda XRV per 100 kilometers to save about 0.5L, of course, the actual fuel cost difference fed back to the user is not obvious, the naked eye can only see the overall improvement of power output performance.
More advanced intelligent platforms and technologies than Honda XRV have laid the foundation for the leading XRV experience
TNGA is a new car platform that Toyota has only begun to use in recent years, and its biggest advantage lies in the safety of equal treatment and more powerful technology configuration, fenglanda as a new product under the TNGA-C platform, naturally maintains the same product tone.
We take the most intuitive configuration as an example, the same is the two entry-level models, Fenglanda is more convincing than XRV in safety, such as the airbag arrangement of the whole vehicle, the front and rear rows of Fenglanda are equipped with head airbags, forming an effective protection of the head. At the same time, in order to protect the legs of the driver and passengers, Fenglanda is also equipped with knee airbags, which can reduce the impact force of the legs in special scenarios, so as to achieve the purpose of knee protection, and these are devices that XRV is not equipped with, which also means that in terms of passive safety protection, Fenglanda is stronger than XRV.
However, in the main convenient and intelligent configuration, Fenglanda is still the same, it is equipped with XRV does not have Carlife / Carplay / Hicar three mobile phone interconnection mode, not stick to a mobile phone system, for the driver and occupants to provide a wealth of choice; 4.2-inch LCD instrument can clearly display driving information, more than XRV's traditional instrument more scientific and technological, the use will be clearer, while Fenglanda is also equipped with automatic headlamps, Roadside assistance calls and the one-button window lift function of the whole vehicle are also optimized for ease of use than the XRV.
More avant-garde design, thicker material selection, touch and look ahead of the Honda XRV
Better design must be the core factor of the product in the market, although the appearance of the current XRV has been precipitated for seven years, but thanks to the minor adjustments in the mid-term of each year and the excellent design foundation, it still looks outdated today, but in terms of interior, XRV's large area of hard plastic materials and slightly backward layout, but it exudes a little sense of age.
The Fenglanda not only has a pleasing appearance in line with the aesthetics of the consumer market, but also in the interior design and materials to be more in line with this era than XRV, the car's central control position and both sides of the door panel are coated with soft materials, and added piano paint trim panels, matte plating decorative strips, etc. as embellishments, the look and feel are very slightly graded.
At the same time, Fenglanda's central control large screen adopts a suspension design, which is more three-dimensional and neat than the XRV inlay central control screen, coupled with the visual extension of the straight line outline and the use of black and white color matching, so that the entire interior level effect is clearly visible.
Summary: In terms of products alone, on the basis of having a lower price, Fenglanda also has a more aesthetic design than XRV, thicker materials, richer technology configuration and more powerful power system, while Fenglanda's 4485/1825/1620-2640mm size and wheelbase are slightly larger than XRV, which means that it also has certain advantages in terms of riding space and storage, plus Toyota does not lose Honda's quality endorsement. The Honda XRV, the "benchmark" that swept the 150,000-level joint venture SUV in all aspects, also has the potential to sweep the 150,000-level joint venture SUV market, so whether there will be changes in this field in the future, let's wait and see.
