Gac Motor Toyota Velanda, known as the "Little Highlander", is one of the rookies in the Japanese SUV model of about 200,000 yuan. Veranda and FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang are from the same platform, which has attracted much attention once they have been listed, and is also considered a strong opponent of Nissan X-Trail and Honda CR-V. But from the perspective of the hybrid field, Toyota and Honda are each other's biggest rivals. Look at the "appearance" of a sharp and a gentle
As a new model of GAC Toyota, although the Veranda continues the family design style, it still adopts a new appearance style as a whole. From the overall outline, it seems that the shadow of RAV4 can be captured, but in detail, Veranda has its own style and personality, and the whole is more three-dimensional. The design of the front face uses a lot of sharp edges and corners, especially the position where the fog lights and the hidden grille meet, which will further highlight the overall sharp and avant-garde style. The profile of the side of the vehicle is concave and convex, and the side brackets and wheel arches are surrounded by black protective plates. The rear headlights are C-shaped, and the rear bumper is thick and stocky overall. The overall appearance is bold, tough, and does not lack fashion, which is very in line with the aesthetics of young people.
CR-V is a veteran player in the SUV market, once won the SUV market, and still has a good market performance today. The exterior design is not unfamiliar, although it has been updated for several generations, but it still continues the calm design style. The headlights are designed to be the most trendy aspect of the CR-V's exterior. The shape of the front face is relatively full, giving people a sense of moderation that is neither tough nor gentle. The application of chrome trim adds some luxury. The SILHOUETTE OF THE CR-V IS VERY POWERFUL, AND THE SOOTHING STREAMLINED BODY UNDERSIDE IS EMBELLISHED WITH DELICATE CHROME LINES, AND THE L-SHAPED TAILLIGHTS, CONCEALED EXHAUST PIPES, AND THE WIDE CHROME TRIM IN THE MIDDLE ARE ALL MORE LUXURIOUS AND SED. The overall performance of the appearance can be described as some small luxury in the low-key, although the overall style is calm but not old-fashioned.
Interior: one simple and one light luxury
Veranda's interior design, there are not many characteristic details, if you must use an adjective, "simple and generous" seems to be more appropriate. It is not difficult for those who know it to find that the overall interior has many similarities with the RAV4 Rongfang. The air conditioning knob and the physical button under the center console have been retained, and the physical button is more precise in operation. The 10.1-inch central control display is considered a large size, the design of the position is high, and it will be more convenient to see the above information during driving. The overall interior has two regrets, one is that the combination of the 4.2-inch dashboard and the physical pointer meter is really outdated, and the other is that this level of model still uses a plastic steering wheel that is somewhat unsatisfactory.
The interior of the CR-V does not bring freshness but at first glance it looks more textured. The size of the central control display is only 7 inches, and the position is low, especially in the process of using the reversing image, it will be somewhat inconvenient to watch. However, the use of a more fluent LCD dashboard, with a leather steering wheel, the multi-functional button texture on the steering wheel is also very good, and the use of electronic button gears also highlights the sense of luxury. The seat is not only beautiful, but also has a soft padding inside, more like a small sofa.
Power: One is more powerful and one is more comfortable
Both Veranda and CR-V have hybrid four-wheel drive versions, but from the perspective of urban use, Xiaobian chose two hybrid two-wheel drive versions with similar prices for comparison.
Although both cars are hybrid versions, the Willanda uses a plug-in hybrid, while the CR-V uses a gasoline-electric hybrid. There is still a certain difference in the launch system of the two. Toyota THS-II system consists of an engine, an electric motor (MG2), a generator (MG1) and a battery, through the planetary gear set for power distribution, in some working conditions, MG2 can also become an electric motor to provide power and can provide low-load single motor drive, high-load dual motor drive, gasoline-electric hybrid drive, oil-electric hybrid drive + engine charging mode four working modes. Honda's i-MMD adopts a combination of one engine and two motors, and relies on dual motors to control when accelerating, with a total of three working modes, namely EV pure electric mode, hybrid driving mode and engine mode when the speed does not reach 70km/h, the engine mode will not be opened, and the speed exceeding 70km/h will be based on the power demand and vehicle load, mainly in engine mode.
There are also obvious differences in configuration between the two cars. It is not difficult to feel from the differences in configuration that cr-V pays more attention to practicality and comfort, while Velanda is better in terms of space and power, in short, each has its own advantages.
The people evaluate the car
From the perspective of level and price, Veranda and CR-V are indeed like a pair of fierce rivals, and it will indeed be difficult to choose when purchasing. But a closer look reveals that Veranda's overall performance is more sporty and younger-looking, making it more suitable for young or male consumers. Cr-V, on the other hand, shows some gorgeous taste and better comfort overall, and is more suitable for light cooks or female consumers. After all, both are benchmark models.
