Just after the New Year, GAC Toyota, which has millions of production and sales, has released a strong attack signal one after another.
On January 6, the new TNGA compact SUV Fenglanda was listed at a market guidance price of 125,800-169,800 yuan. The new car is available in five versions, all of which are powered by a combination of ATGA 2.0L engine and CVT transmission.
It is worth noting that the entry price of Fenglanda is not only more lethal than the long-term Dominance and XR-V "double stars" of the market segment. Compared with the Nissan Qashqai, which is also a 2.0L + CVT power combination, Fenglanda also has a strong competitiveness in terms of practicality and value.
On January 10, the new TNGA luxury mid-size SUV Wesa was also officially launched. The new car is equipped with two major powertrains of 2.0L gasoline and 2.5L dual-engine hybrid, and is available in two four-wheel drive options for a total of six models, with a price range of 216,800 to 303,800 yuan.
As a medium-sized SUV that focuses on light luxury style, Wesa not only adopts the same TNGA-K platform as the Lexus NX, but also leads the mainstream user models such as Willanda in terms of design, materials and configuration.
It can be said that with the listing of Fenglanda and Weisa, it is tantamount to investing a bombshell in the market segment. This also marks that GAC Toyota will usher in an important boost in the challenge of impacting millions of production and sales.
Feng Landa: The youngster's first Toyota SUV
Born on the TNGA-C platform, Fenglanda adopts the new design concept of "Urban Active", which has both urban sense and youthfulness.
Sharp streamlined design, aluminum alloy cutting wheels, with sharp LED headlights and suspension LED combination taillights, creating a strong sense of movement and power.
A total of 7 bicycle colors and 4 double car colors, including glazed gold, coral red, platinum pearl white, desert gold, fluorite blue, crystal silver, and ink crystal black, can better meet the diverse aesthetic needs of young people nowadays.
In terms of interior, Fenglanda adopts a smart and spacious visual design with a sense of space. The steering wheel and gear lever are wrapped in leather, and the high-end model is equipped with a 7-inch color TFT multi-function information display and a 9-inch electronic voice navigation system.
In terms of body, the new car has a length of 4485mm/1825mm/1620mm and a wheelbase of 2640mm. The new car is significantly larger in size than the Binzhi and XR-V, and is at the same level as the slightly more than half-class Qashqai.
Thanks to the 775mm head space in the rear and the adjustable angle rear seats, the new car also has the convenience of easily getting on and off the bus with a baby in its arms.
It is also worth noting that the trunk volume of Fenglanda is up to 438L, which can easily hold four 22-inch and two 24-inch cabin cases. Moreover, the load compartment is only 720mm above the ground, which can greatly facilitate the user to place objects.

You know, the introductory Version of The Funi/XRIV, which is close to the guide price, only matches the manual transmission + 1.5L engine. In contrast, the value for money of Fenglanda can be described as very outstanding.
At the same time, the new car also follows the low center of gravity, wide body and high rigidity body design of TNGA models, with a minimum turning radius of 5.2m, which can also bring users a smooth driving experience.
In the face of the demand for intelligent networking of the new generation of people, the new car has introduced the "Fengyun Yuexiang" Intelligent Travel Interconnection Service to realize the remote control of the vehicle by mobile phone.

With the latest TSS Smart Safety Kit and the standard 7 airbags (high with 9 airbags), the configuration of the new car can be described as absolutely "full" in the same class.
Wei Sa: Comparable to the light luxury of Lexus
With a length of 4780mm/1855mm/1660mm and a wheelbase of 2690mm, wesa adopts the design concept of "Refined-tech Simplicity".
The front face of the "X" shape has a three-dimensional change of face, with a large area of grille, giving people the impression of atmospheric stability. The waist part is shaped into a large area of curved surface. The smooth body lines on the sides outline an elegant slipback shape, further emphasizing the visual low center of gravity posture.
Both the headlights and taillights use LED light sources. The "double L-type" headlights have a strong sense of extension, and the slender one-line taillights and through-type high brake lights at the tail end enhance the sense of technology and recognition.
The interior design of Weissa is full of high-end sense, and it is available in three interior colors: black, gray and brown. Everywhere within reach is wrapped in premium leather, and the saddle-shaped central armrest is also covered in thick leather for a fuller texture.
Wesa also makes extensive use of different processes such as metal chrome plating and piano paint, and with the newly designed leather seats, it brings comfort to the driver and passengers.
Wissa is equipped with Toyota's world-first advanced dimmable panoramic canopy, which leads the same level in lighting area, and can switch the dimming mode and transmission mode in 1 second, both of which can block more than 99% of ultraviolet rays. The Premium Edition and above are equipped with JBL Advanced Surround Sound System as standard, with 9 leading 1200-watt power speakers distributed in the car, using Clair-Fi source restoration technology and JBL's iconic treble horn technology.
In terms of intelligent interconnection, the 12.3-inch color TFT multi-function information display + 12.3-inch color central control touch navigation display + 10-inch HUD head-up display system realizes three-screen linkage, and cooperates with the Fengyun Enjoy system in the "Fengyunxing" APP to obtain remote services such as vehicle condition inquiry, remote control, vehicle positioning and so on.
In addition, WISA is also equipped with streaming media rearview mirrors, wireless charging, air purification system, rain induction wiper, inductive electric tailgate, and many other high-value configurations, with a high degree of configuration.
In terms of sound insulation that users are concerned about, the window glass of the whole vehicle adopts a thickened design, and the front side windows of the high-end model adopt double-layer noise reduction glass, and the door frame seal is added.
Kung Fu shoots
This year marks the "coming-of-age ceremony" of GAC Toyota's 18th anniversary and a key year for it to challenge millions of annual production and sales.
The launch of Fenglanda has added a more "volume" popular model for GAC Toyota in the compact SUV market. The emergence of Weisa has further enhanced the "thickness" of GAC Toyota's products in medium-sized SUVs, empowering the brand image.
So far, GAC Toyota has also formed a mainstream model combination of Highlander for high-end crowds, Veranda focusing on the backbone crowd, and Fenglanda developing the mainstream model combination of young people. Coupled with the two personalized products of Weisa and C-HR, GAC Toyota finally completed the construction of the "pyramid" product line of SUV with a complete lineup.
In the view of Kung Fu Automobile, with the listing of Fenglanda and Weisa as an opportunity, GAC Toyota will also start this year's strong attack with a more aggressive attitude.
