With a wheelbase of 2690mm and a starting start of 216,800, Toyota Wesa is approaching the luxury brand position
I believe that a number of new Toyota models listed last year have been able to let everyone feel the power of price increases, the new Toyota Highlander is much more expensive than the old version, the starting price has reached more than 260,000, so that there is a market position in the middle, Highlander and Toyota Rongfang between the two main models can obviously be stuffed into a new car. GAC Toyota Wesa undertakes such a task, this model belongs to the overseas version of the introduction, is not the Chinese market special supply, officially called the medium-sizeDUV, in fact, the size positioning is not large.
Toyota Wesa declared a total length of 4780mm, but the wheelbase is only 2690mm, in such a contour size, the self-proclaimed medium-sized SUV is not very appropriate, there is no condition to install three rows of seats, the entire series is equipped with a 5-seat configuration. However, Toyota's pricing is not low-key, before the pre-sale started at 220,000, and the official guidance given on the evening of October 1 started at 216,800, although it was lowered compared to the pre-price, but this price point is still close to the luxury brand compact SUV camp.
For example, the price positioning of the Cadillac XT4 is not much different from this car after the discount, but the total wheelbase of the Cadillac XT4 reaches 2779mm, which has obvious advantages over Toyota Wesa. Since this car is positioned higher than Toyota Rongfang, it must have more features, the exterior design is a larger selling point, the front face of the front is more rounded, and provides a large-size intake air mesh, the side belongs to the popular coupe sports roof style in the past two years, and the tail through lighting and double exhaust outlet also enhance the sports texture.
The atmosphere in the car is still Toyota's familiar feeling, the sense of science and technology is not very strong, with a full LCD dashboard and the mainstream suspension navigation screen, coupled with the HUD head-up display projection module, which is a triple screen design, the details will be stronger than the Toyota entry-level version of the model, at least the parts that are often contacted are covered with soft leather soft bags.
The introduction of GAC Toyota production has also added a lot of scientific and technological configurations, such as supporting face recognition modules, and there are very convenient mobile phone wireless charging modules, and the auxiliary driving system has also kept up with the trend of the times.
The powertrain is divided into fuel version and hybrid version, which is similar to the power system of models such as the Camry and the Asian Dragon, and the fuel version continues to be equipped with a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 171 horsepower. The hybrid version is the dual engine version, which adds motor assistance on the basis of the 2.5-liter displacement engine, and the maximum output of the simple internal combustion engine is 178 horsepower. The whole series uses a stepless gearbox, which brings a relatively smooth acceleration feeling, and can achieve the effect of fuel saving, if the pursuit of driving pleasure, want to speed up faster, then buy Toyota itself is off, this is suitable for more conservative consumers.
To sum up, toyota Wesa, which has a starting price of 216,800, is not cost-effective, and is gradually approaching the price position of luxury brands, which is also a more confident brand performance, after all, the Toyota brand has faith in the Chinese market.
