With the rapid take-off of China's economy, the people's pockets have been inflated, at the same time, China's "local tycoons" have gradually increased, through the sales of million-level luxury cars in China can be seen, China has become the world's largest "luxury car" consumer country, many top luxury models in China sales are ranked first in the world. In 2022, there are three ultra-luxury SUVs ushering in the replacement, so Xiaobian will introduce these three blockbuster models to the local tycoons today.
The new generation of Range Rover
Range Rover has always been regarded as the leader of million-class SUVs, but also by the Chinese people named "Land Rover", but the current model has been in service for many years, although the heat is still not reduced, but in terms of configuration and other aspects compared to the last two years of the sudden BMW X7 and Mercedes-Benz GLS and other models to lag behind, so Land Rover is also launched a new fifth-generation Range Rover, and will be officially listed this year.
In terms of appearance, the new generation of Range Rover still retains the classic design elements of the Range Rover family, the majestic and domineering appearance shape, the mussel shell engine cover, the grille is slightly changed compared to the old model, and the new matrix LED headlights are matched with exquisite silver decorative strips, and the two contrast each other, which is still so classic.
The visual effect of the side of the new car is also the same as that of the old model, but the new car uses the new MLA-FLEX architecture, which optimizes the weight of the body, improves the level of noise reduction and sound insulation, and adopts a fitted body glass and hidden door handles to make the side look more advanced and simple.
The rear department of the car has changed the most, and the "willow leaf eyebrow" taillights have left the previous roughness, but have a little more elegance. This set of tail light groups runs through the entire rear of the car, improving the overall visual effect, Xiaobian thinks it is still very good-looking.
The interior style is more simple, using a large number of new environmentally friendly materials, wood grain trim panels and aluminum alloy materials, coupled with a large number of leather material wrapping, "Land Rover" is still so luxurious. The new car will be the original liftable knob type gear handle replaced by an electronic gear handle, can be described as "back to basics", 13.7 inches of huge central control screen equipped with InControl OS 2.0 system, support SOTA upgrade function, so that the practicality of the whole car has been greatly improved.
The regular version of the new Range Rover is equipped with a 3.0T Injeli L6 engine, the low-power version has a maximum horsepower of 360 horsepower and a maximum torque of 500 Nm, and the high-power version has a maximum horsepower of 400 hp and a maximum torque of 550 Nm, and is powered by a 48V light hybrid system, equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system. The top version of the new Range Rover is equipped with BMW's 4.4T V8 engine, which has a maximum horsepower of 530 horses and a maximum torque of 750 Nm, and the transmission and four-wheel drive system are the same. Later models may also be introduced in the plug-and-mix version. In this era, the large displacement engine can be maintained consistently, which shows that Land Rover is still very conscientious!
The new generation of Lexus LX600
The Lexus brand's top SUV model, the LX570, has accompanied us for more than 14 years, and has been loved by consumers for its durable leather and "financial artifact" characteristics. This year the Lexus LX series finally ushered in a replacement, and the name was changed from the LX570 to the LX600.
The front face of the LX600 is still the classic spindle-shaped grille of the Lexus family, but as the flagship product of the Lexus family, the grille size of the LX600 is much larger than that of the previous generation model, which can be described as the largest existence in the entire family, the visual impact is full, and it firmly holds the needs of the "local tycoons".
The side lines reveal a hint of muscle in their calmness, which is fully in line with the positioning of its large SUV.
The overall contour of the rear part of the car is relatively square, and the current popular through-type taillights are used, relying on the huge body size, and the visual effect of the rear is still shocking.
In terms of interior, Lexus LX600 for the first time introduced a dual-screen central control design, equipped with a 12.3-inch suspension screen above, a 7-inch embedded screen below, combined with an LCD instrument, in the sense of science and technology is also made its own due height. As a flagship model of a luxury brand, the luxury of the interior materials is naturally self-evident, and luxury materials such as leather cover everything in sight, which is very classy.
In terms of power, the LX600 cancels the 5.7L V8 naturally aspirated engine mounted on the LX570 and instead adopts a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo engine and is equipped with a 10AT gearbox, although the number of cylinders and displacement have been reduced, but this powertrain can burst out a maximum horsepower of 415 horses and a maximum torque of 650 Nm, which is on an equal footing with the original "large self-priming".
New Generation Toyota Land Cruiser (LC300)
Regardless of whether you are an off-road enthusiast in front of the screen, presumably you have heard the name of "Land Patrol", as a representative of Japanese off-road vehicles, toyota land cruiser's reputation even once overshadowed its big brother "big 57". The exterior and interior of the original model of the Land Cruiser are slightly "rough", and with the exposure of the replacement model LC300, the texture of the new car has taken a great leap forward.
First of all, the appearance of the new Land Cruiser has undergone very big changes, although the overall style is similar to the old model, but the design and optimization of the details are very good, the banner-style stout grille and the new LED headlight group together create a strong sense of layering.
The body side design has multiple waist lines, combined with the obvious bulge at the upper fenders, creating a strong sense of muscle, and the hardcore off-road wind is full. The rear part of the car is still square, the square tail light uses the LED light source, the light group area is reduced compared to the previous generation model, and the corners are relatively rounded, making the overall look thick and thin.
In terms of interior, the layering sense of the center console is clear, compared to the previous generation of models in the sense of luxury and technology have been greatly improved, equipped with a 12.3-inch full-digital central control screen, air conditioning and multimedia console under the screen, while using a large number of leather materials to wrap the interior, but also retain a large number of physical buttons, highlighting its "hardcore" essence.
In terms of power, the new car is in line with the big brother LX600, which is also a combination of a 3.5T V6 engine and a 10AT transmission. It is worth mentioning that although the new generation of Land Cruiser LC300 is still a non-carrier body mechanism, its body has successfully reduced weight by 200kg, and the rigidity of the vehicle has also been greatly improved; the vehicle air intake is located on the right front side of the engine compartment, and the wading depth has reached 700mm; off-road hardware such as three locks is naturally indispensable. All in all, as a representative of the Japanese hardcore off-road, the new generation of Land Cruiser LC300 still has a very strong product force.
The above three are all household names in the million-level ultra-luxury SUV, so do you like the "Grand Range Rover", "Continental Tour" or "Big 57"?
