GAC Toyota Wesa, which positions a mid-size SUV, was officially launched tonight (1.10) with two powertrains, two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
The appearance is dominated by a sporty style
Weisa's huge trapezoidal net is arranged in the lower part of the front of the car, which is the same as the overall layout of Lingfang, and the details are different, such as the new shape of the fog light area and the middle net shape, and the slender double L shape of the day running lights seem to set a delicate tone for this car.

The body side of The Wesa is almost like the Lexus NX copy and paste, the same overall design language is full, rounded, and the wheel eyebrows of the same color as the body on the Lexus on the Wesa are not matched with the 19-inch wheel hub, and it is difficult to distinguish which one is a luxury model at the first time.
The rear part of the car is very different from faw Toyota's Lingfang, but on the road, it is impossible to distinguish whether this is a Weisa or Lingfang at the first time from the rear shape. The slender, through-the-taillights complement the heavy tail shape, and such a slender and penetrating taillight design is relatively rare in the Toyota series.
The hybrid version uses a 2.5L engine with a maximum power of 178 hp (131 kW) and is equipped with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission and an electronically controlled all-wheel drive system.
The fuel version of the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 171 hp (126 kW) and a peak torque of 207 Nm, and is geared to a CVT CVT continuously variable transmission.
The interior strives to create a luxurious atmosphere
In terms of interior, a change in the past Toyota models lagged behind the times of simple materials and shapes, you can feel the luxury atmosphere of efforts to create, equipped with a 12.3-inch suspension central control screen, air conditioning control panel with a well-designed frame wrapping, the car with a large number of artificial leather laying, in Toyota's consistent design will use hard black board covered places, on the Willa all replaced with wood grain decorative panels, to achieve no dead ends of the interior materials.
In the interior design without dead ends, the steering wheel similar to the Leiling is suddenly pulled back to reality, the steering wheel is wrapped very tightly, but the diameter is slightly thinner.
Compared with the LCD meter, although the combination of the 7-inch screen and the mechanical instrument slightly prevails in the diversity of information display, the delicate words and light blue hands are not inferior to the 12.3-inch LCD screen.
Although the air conditioning control panel is a touch button, the independent control area separated from the central control screen also increases the ease of use.
The overall symmetrical design of the interior is only the most commonly used start vehicle button has become an asymmetrical factor, under the center console there are parking buttons, AUTOHOLD buttons, driving mode adjustment paddles and the innermost storage space, but the placement of the start button seems to have some impact on the use of the above functions by the main driver.
When you use it, you can just touch the start button and press it when you put your hand on the gear handle, and you can't help but try to see what kind of efficiency improvement this design can bring. After many tests, it was concluded that the moment the start button was pressed could not be hung at the same time, and the direction of releasing the parking brake was also opposite to the direction of the gear, but the ignition switch could be pressed instantaneously when pushed from D gear to P gear, so it was concluded that this position design only had an efficiency improvement when completing the drive.
Equipped with both heating and ventilation, you can finally park your car in a sun-exposed place in the summer, without worrying about riding in a sun-exposed seat.
The seats are comfortable and the materials are somewhat upside down.
The seat with a tendency to move echoes the overall shape of the exterior, the lateral support of the waist will not firmly fix the body on the backrest, but a little movement will have obvious support, the advantage is that the body can be supported when it moves slightly, and it will also provide the riding feeling of the ordinary seat in the daily life, and the soft and hard sponge on the side of the cushion can give comfortable support when getting on and off the car.
The rear seat shape is still in line with the direction of the luxury, exquisite effort, riding experience, the backrest angle is not adjustable and the lack of support for the waist of the two points of the problem, so that the rear seat can not be comfortable for a long time, the length of the seat cushion is acceptable, with the SUV relatively good cushion height can give good support to the front of the thigh.
In the process of adjusting the position of the seat in front, it was found that the incomprehensible material was used--- and the places where the co-pilot's leg could touch were all rigid composite plates.
What is even more difficult to understand is that directly above the glove box in front, the panel that is only used for decoration uses soft materials and synthetic leather, and after repeated confirmation, the metallic button style on the decorative panel is not a button, and this panel is only decorative.

When adjusted to the appropriate driver's seat, there is plenty of head space in the driver's seat, but the highest angle of the steering wheel is low.
The back legroom performs well, there is still a four-finger margin, the head space is cramped, although it will not reach the top of the head, but it will touch the hair.
Weisa's trunk has a large storage space, the rear seats support the proportion of the reclining, and the fly in the ointment is that the trunk lacks anchor points and hooks.
There are non-full-size spare tires and tools under the trunk cover, and there are two storage boxes, but there is still a distance above the spare wheel and the cover, which will be a considerable storage space if this part is fully utilized.
summary
Wesa maintains a luxurious, sophisticated design direction both inside and out, and its exterior style is also unique in the Toyota series. Through the design concept of 19-inch wheels, sporty cars, exquisite and designed interiors and materials, it can be seen that Toyota has a design trend that caters to the preferences of young people, and also has an additional option for the consumer group of compact and medium-sized SUVs.
