As the blue ocean development period of the SUV market comes to an end, major car companies will face a fierce stock red sea. In addition to improving their own product strength, car companies often take stock of their product layout to see if there are still subdivisions that need to be explored, and can play their own unique advantages to get a piece of the pie.
This time GAC Toyota has added two new members to its SUV family - the main affordable home Fenglanda and the cross-border style full of Weisa, of which the fengland 12.58-16.98 million yuan pricing brings people a little joy, and the pre-sale price range of 220,000-310,000 yuan of Weisa is also a more reasonable positioning, I believe that the day after tomorrow (January 10) listing price will not disappoint.
Fenglanda: For home users, consolidate the parity market
Rather than explaining in detail, I prefer to summarize a few keywords for Fenglanda first - 2.0L self-priming, configuration practical priority, homology with Leiling, naturally stronger through sex, space does not lose Leiling... At this time, the price and brand are linked together, and the discerning person can see how competitive it is in the affordable market.
Of course, this does not mean that the veterans of the joint venture have the capital to mess up in other aspects. On the contrary, Fenglanda, which inherits the design from the Japanese version, not only plays a clear and differentiated design, but also separates it from the American style of the Northern Brothers in terms of style. Through the semi-closed color mesh and the bottom air intake, and the redesign of the LED headlights on both sides, the visual effect highlights a sense of movement at the same time, but also a little bit of new energy visual sense.
As for whether there is really a plan to electrify, there is no news at present, but I hope Toyota can have it, after all, this is also a business opportunity that cannot be underestimated.
The sides and tail are basically the same as those of the Northern Brothers, thanks to the addition of the black roof, and the exclusive two-tone 18-inch rim on the secondary roof, the Cross and sporty winds can be perfectly combined. Through the large size of the side windows and the flat roof trend, toyota can also vaguely see the importance of the car's space practicality.
In terms of riding experience, in addition to the front row interior design that is the same as the Leiling style, the performance of the rear row can also be remarkable. Although limited by the 2640mm wheelbase, the legroom is naturally not as spacious as The Ralink, but the larger vertical space not only provides passengers with ample head allowance, but also with thick and soft seat padding, adjustable seat backrests and very transparent panoramic sunroofs, the comfort is not necessarily worse than that of a car.
As for the loading performance of the trunk, it can only be said that there are good and bad. Good thing is that the regularity of the overall space is done well, and the volume per liter can be easily utilized, and the 434L performs well in the same level. But the disadvantage is that after the rear seat backrest is lowered, Feng Landa still does not avoid the same flaw as Raling - there is no flat floor, which is somewhat limited to the scene of placing large items.
In terms of power, Fenglanda has popularized the 2.0L self-priming engine very generously, matching the CVT stepless gearbox that can simulate 10-speed, and is expected to launch a 1.8L THS hybrid model in the future, which is definitely quite lethal for many thrifty home users. Durable, reliable, low fuel consumption, stable and good power, this is the competitive advantage of self-absorbing Toyota, Fenglanda's opening operation is so, it is definitely a precise control of the target user's demands.
Wei Sa: Romantic and dynamic, young upstarts don't miss it
Compared with FengLanda's pragmatism, Weisa is more like having seen the world, under the track, and seen the existence of "big people", but what remains unchanged is that it still knows what its consumer group needs - a good look is high enough, the three major pieces are reliable enough, and it is best to give luxury texture and driving pleasure.
There is no doubt that Wei Sa is all-powerful and has done quite well.
Regarding the emergence of this generation of domestic Weisa, those who are familiar with it naturally know where its technical background comes from. But in terms of differentiated competition, Weisa is obviously more capable of fanning fans than its northern brothers, and it can even be said that it has the most dynamic version of Toyota's global midsize SUV.
Among them, at least 70% of the contribution is presented in the design of the front, yes, GAC Toyota "appropriating" the front design of the flagship sports car Supra, replacing the Harrier Ling's seemingly intake net, but actually the penetrating black treatment of the closed trim panel, which not only makes the concave and convex profile give the white space of the nose cone a more aggressive posture, but also cooperates with the large area of the air intake at the bottom, showing the exaggeration and dynamics of the complete complement of the Lexus spindle grille.
Under the guidance of this front face, even if there is no obvious change in the side and rear of the car, you will feel that the temperament of the whole car is more runaway, and there is a little more impulse to chase speed in addition to elegance and calmness. GAC Toyota also very cleverly chose red paint as the color of the show car, which is absolutely beneficial to the running sense of the whole car.
Of course, the meaning of Wei Sa's existence is not only as a brother car of Ling Fang, but the word "Wei" means that it will become an effective supplement to Wilanta, to capture those young upstarts who are excited and romantic. Their pursuit is not only in the elegant and feminine appearance, but also in the luxurious texture can be spread to every corner of the interior.
To this end, GAC Toyota has filled the Weisa car with quite high-grade soft packaging materials, and the treatment of the stitches also highlights the exquisite workmanship of the Japanese car. More importantly, the 12.3-inch touch screen is also suspended on the top of the center console in a more delicate form, supported by the metal trim strips below, which ends the design controversy of Toyota's "playing big screen".
As for the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, HUD head-up display system, steering wheel heating, face recognition, wireless charging, streaming media interior mirrors, JBL Premium Sound System audio and other configurations, it is not so much an echo of Weisa's high-end positioning as it is an indispensable icing on the cake for this exquisite cockpit.
In terms of power, Wesa will provide a 2.0L fuel version and a 2.5L hybrid version. The former has a maximum power of 171 hp and a peak torque of 207 Nm, matching the CVT gearbox. The hybrid version is equipped with a 2.5L engine and a THS II hybrid system, the front-drive version has a combined power of 218 hp, and the E-Four four-wheel drive version has a combined power of 222 hp, matching the E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The overall performance can basically refer to Veranda, but personal speculation may be more active and tough in tuning, after all, the shell of this sport is placed here, and it is more or less more consistent.
