Whenever a mid-size SUV is mentioned, I think everyone will give priority to toyota Highlander, Honda Guandao, Volkswagen Tiguan and other models, after all, these cars have been deeply cultivated in the field for many years, and have always had a good reputation, so these models have almost become an option for consumers to buy with their eyes closed.
However, in recent years, major brands are making efforts, new cars are emerging in an endless stream, and the comprehensive strength is not bad, so if you are tired of these old models, you may wish to try to consider these rising stars!
Toyota RHILLER Its positioning is a medium-sized SUV between the Toyota RAV4 and the Crown Land Release, in fact, the overseas version of the Toyota HARRIER had an inseparable relationship with the Lexus RX in the early days (the form of resale into the US market), but later there was a conflict in positioning, in order to avoid the internal roll to let Toyota HARRIER take over the position of the Toyota RAV4.
It is precisely because of this origin that the localization of toyota rover HARRIER has become very unholy, and it can even be fully understood as a real premium version of Toyota. First of all, in terms of pricing, it is enough to reflect that the starting price of its hybrid version, which is one level lower than the Toyota Highlander, has reached 259,800 yuan, compared with the starting price of the 2022 Toyota Highlander (268,800 yuan), the difference between the two is only about 10,000 yuan, which is very outrageous.
But sitting inside the cockpit, you can find that both the design and the materials are remarkable. Secondly, its chassis is also thick enough, the filter processing is smooth and direct, and there is a certain sense of high-grade, which is not like the performance that should be in this level. At the same time, its power output is also soft and smooth enough, and it feels like this is a Lexus SUV for a moment.
Of course, its short board is also obvious enough, after all, the wheelbase is only 2690mm, for a medium-sized SUV, the rear crew is slightly cramped, and the tail box space is also a medium level in the same level. But what is more fatal is its high pricing, and the same level does not have a more prominent competitive advantage.
As Ford's first coupe SUV model, The Ford EVOS is one of the few models that is currently well designed with a sneaky back, and the shape is very avant-garde, which can alleviate our aesthetic fatigue to some extent.
The second is its interior design, perhaps in the past we complained about Ford the most is its extremely moderate interior design, but it does not apply to The Ford EVOS!
Thanks to the fact that it is based on the FNV intelligent interconnection network-wide architecture, the new interior design is equipped with a large joint screen of up to 1.1 meters, and has a resolution of 4K, a sense of technology MAX. If you don't say that this is a pure fuel vehicle, it is difficult to determine whether it is a pure electric or pure fuel model.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 2.0T engine, the maximum power is 175kW, the peak torque is 376N·m, and it is matched by the 8AT gearbox, which officially claims that the acceleration of 100 kilometers is only 6.6s, which is also remarkable in terms of performance. A little regrettable, a crossover SUV with online performance, the whole series only provides two-wheel drive options, for consumers who are obsessed with four-wheel drive, it will feel tangled.
But the positive side is that as a crossover SUV, its head space is surprising, and the tilt angle of the backrest is good enough, coupled with the impressive wheelbase performance of 2945mm, so that the rear crew can get a more comfortable sitting position, and they are competent enough in terms of home.
The new generation of Trumpchi GS8, i think most people will be attracted by its exquisite appearance. Compared with the old model, its appearance is more spacious and tough, and it is hard to design a medium-sized SUV into a medium-sized SUV, giving people the illusion of skipping the level.
It is worth mentioning that different powertrains will have two different styles of grille design, which is more unique.
Entering the interior, you will find that the Trumpchi GS8 is really not just visually large, but really big. In terms of space, it has 6 or 7-seat versions for consumers to choose from, due to the wheelbase of 2920mm, the legroom of the second row of space can be described as exaggerated, and the third row can also get a more comfortable sitting posture, different from the kind of fake three-row 7-seat SUV.
In terms of power, it has two sets of powertrain options, namely the 2.0T pure fuel version and the hybrid version of the 2.0T+ drive motor. The fuel-only version has a maximum horsepower of 252Ps and a peak torque of 400 N·m, which is matched by an 8AT gearbox.
It is worth mentioning that the hybrid version is equipped with Toyota's THS hybrid system, but it is equipped with a 2.0T engine with a maximum horsepower of 190Ps and a peak torque of 320N·m, a maximum power of 134kW for the drive motor, and a maximum power of 174kW for the dual-motor version. The biggest surprise of the new generation of Trumpchi GS8 is that its 2.0T engine and Toyota's THS hybrid system are actually "running-in" quite good, and the drive motor can have a good acceleration ability, while also taking into account the fuel economy, which is particularly important for medium-sized SUVs.
Toyota Rover Harrier has a delicate interior and exterior design, and has a driving quality comparable to the "thunder car"; Ford EVOS has a good-looking crossover shape, the interior sense of technology has also been greatly improved; the new generation of Trumpchi GS8 is equipped with Toyota THS hybrid system, power and fuel economy has also been well improved, the shape is also quite exquisite. Overall, will the above models impress you?
