Easy Car original GAC Toyota Wesa was officially listed on January 10, the manufacturer's guidance price is 216,800-30.38 million yuan, the new car launched a fuel version and dual engine version of a total of 6 model configurations, which configuration is more cost-effective? Let's take a closer look.
New cars will begin to be delivered in mid-March, and the first to be able to get a variety of car purchase benefits, including the first owner's lifetime battery warranty, 5 years of free car networking services.
GAC Toyota Wesa is a sister model of FAW Toyota Lingfang, built on the GA-K platform under the TNGA architecture, positioned between Willanda and Highlander.
The appearance of Weisa is simple and capable, through a small number of lines and more profiles, outlining a very rich visual effect of light and shadow, and the back-to-back modeling design is also more sporty.
The new car will be available in five different body colours, including Platinum Pearl White, Opal Silver, Yao Dong Red, Titanium Silver and Ink Crystal Black.
In terms of body size, wesa's length, width and height are 4780mm× 1855mm×1660mm, and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which is closer to Veranda as a whole.
The symmetrical interior design of Weisa is also the taste of the Toyota family that we are familiar with, and the interior materials are wrapped in a large area of soft materials and leather, creating a good sense of high quality and grade.
The new car offers 3 interior colors, with black, black + gray and black + brown options available in medium and high-end models, while the entry-level model can only choose black interior.
In terms of power, WISA will adopt two sets of powertrains of 2.0L fuel version or 2.5L dual-engine hybrid, and will provide two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive two-wheel drive forms.
Among them, the 2.0L fuel version is equipped with a 2.0L Dynamic Force engine, matching the simulated 10-speed Direct Shift-CVT transmission, and the four-wheel drive version will be equipped with DTC dynamic torque control four-wheel drive system.
The 2.5L dual-engine version will use the new fourth-generation THS II. Toyota hybrid system, the thermal efficiency of the TNGA 2.5L Dynamic Force engine will reach 41%, and the fuel consumption of 100 kilometers of NEDC can be as low as 4.5L.
The dual-engine version of the four-wheel drive model is equipped with E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, which adopts the front and rear axle dual drive motor design, which can realize the front and rear axle drive force 100:0-20:80 wide range adjustment.
Back to the model recommendation section, which of the 6 models of Wesa is the most cost-effective? First of all, let's take a look at how the configuration of the entry-level model of Wesa, which costs 216,800 yuan, performs.
Although the 2.0L Deluxe Edition is the lowest in the series, the configuration is not ambiguous at all. Including main/passenger seat airbags, front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, knee airbags, Toyota Safety Sense safety system, reversing images, keyless entry/one-button start, 8-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, automatic anti-glare rearview mirrors, automatic folding of exterior mirrors, rain-sensitive wipers, etc. are all standard in the whole series, and the practicality and safety are outstanding.
The disadvantage is that the 8-inch multimedia display is small in size and is not equipped with an intelligent on-board system, and the degree of intelligence is not high. But fortunately, carplay, CarLife and HiCar mobile phones are supported, and daily use is convenient enough.
If you're on a budget, then THE PLUS Edition is a good choice, with a secure configuration and practical features that are more than enough to meet your daily usage needs.
Next, let's take a look at the configuration of the premium version, compared to the deluxe version, the premium version is 18,000 yuan more expensive, and the configuration improvement brought by it is also more obvious.
The appearance configuration has more 19-inch wheels, binocular lens LED headlights, and LED daytime running lights, which are more visually impactful.
JBL surround sound system
In addition, the co-driver's electric seat, front seat heating/ventilation, 8 probe parking radar, electric induction tailgate with memory function, 12.3-inch multimedia central control large screen, Fengyun Yuexiang intelligent car system and 9 speakerSwitch JBL surround sound and other configurations have been added, and the 18,000 yuan is still worth the money.
Compared with the Premium Version, the Supreme Edition is 34,000 yuan and 39,000 yuan, respectively, in addition to the difference between the four-wheel drive system, the configuration has more dimmable panoramic canopy, front soundproof glass, steering wheel heating, electric sunroof sunshade, main driver's seat memory, panoramic image, parallel blind area monitoring, mobile phone wireless charging, HUD head-up display, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, face ID recognition system and other high-end configurations, of which the dual-engine Supreme Edition also has more streaming media rearview mirrors.
Most of the additional configurations are actually not easy to install in the later stage, and for the "configuration party" players who have rigid needs for the four-wheel drive system, the supreme version is also a good choice.
Streaming rearview mirrors
However, if you consider the cost performance level, the increase brought by the difference of 39,000 yuan can actually be more obvious. In particular, the price of 303,800 yuan for the double engine top model is really a bit high, plus 20,000 yuan can be selected to the Highlander four-wheel drive premium version model, and the overall cost performance of the top version is actually not high.
In general, among the 6 models launched by GAC Toyota Wesa, the premium version of the model is more cost-effective overall, equipped with a rich enough configuration, and the recommended index is five stars.
As for how to choose the fuel version and the dual engine version with a difference of 30,000 yuan, I will recommend the 2.5L dual engine version, after all, the power and fuel consumption levels are more outstanding, especially in the Guangzhou area, you can also play the energy-saving brand. If there is no excessive pursuit of power, then the 2.0L premium version of 234,800 yuan is a more affordable choice.

In addition, if you are not bad money, you can choose a more equipped top version of the model, equipped with E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system in the driving pleasure and performance will be improved, suitable for consumers with mild off-road needs.
Written in the end: In the first month of 2022, GAC Toyota successively brought us Fenglanda and Weisa, which further strengthened the GAC Toyota SUV family, and the launch of Weisa also filled the gap between Willanda and Highlander. For consumers who pursue a comfortable space and do not want to queue up for Highlander, Wesa is undoubtedly a more suitable choice.
In terms of configuration, the configuration and collocation of 6 models of Wesa are also more reasonable, and each model has a corresponding consumer group. Among them, the entry-level model configuration is rich enough for consumers with limited budgets; the premium version is the most recommended model with excellent cost performance; and the extreme version is suitable for consumers who have rigid needs for four-wheel drive systems. As for how to choose the fuel version and the dual engine version, it can be purchased on demand according to the power.
