"I have a car" original innovative car shopping guide: As a new compact SUV of GAC Toyota, the arrival of Fenglanda undoubtedly provides more growth opportunities for the family....
On January 6, 2022, GAC Toyota Fenglanda was officially launched, and the official guidance price of five new cars was 125,800 to 169,800 yuan. The new car is based on the TNGA-C platform, with body sizes between C-HR and Willanda, and is called Corolla Cross in Japan.
Ordinary people buy a car, nothing more than to see the peace of mind, cheap and space of these points, as for the appearance as long as it is still reasonable to finish. It seems that Toyota really agreed with this set of guidelines, so it offered a new SUV with cheap and large space - Fenglanda.
From 2021 to the beginning of 2022, in addition to the introduction of the new fourth-generation Highlander, GAC Toyota also launched two models, the new Fenglanda and the new Venza Weisa, the family SUV array has also increased from the previous three to five, and the product line has been expanded again, of course, this also means that GAC Toyota has achieved full coverage of the mainstream SUV product line, which undoubtedly gives users more choices.
▲ What kind of Fenglanda is a new GAC Toyota SUV?
The new GAC Toyota Fenglanda also uses the family naming method, and together with Veranda and Highlander, it forms the "Landa" family. In terms of FAW Toyota, although the English name synchronizes with the overseas COROLLA CROSS, the Chinese name is Ruifang, and the models such as Rongfang and Lufang belong to the same "fang" generation.
However, FAW Toyota Ruifang is synchronized with the appearance of the COROLLA CROSS US version of the model, while the GAC Toyota Fenglanda is corresponding to the shape of the Japanese version, compared with the personal preference for the latter design, and the details of all aspects are very restrained.
For example, the biggest difference between the Japanese version of the model and the American version of the model is that the front face of the Logo position adopts a closed treatment, which makes the front face of the Front Landing more "introverted" than the sharp front face, and the two sides of the front bar of the double car are also different, of which the Front Landa uses smoothing treatment, and the Sharp places on both sides to increase the similar muscle tendon line, the latter is so rough on the compact SUV body I am afraid that most people can not accept.
Judging from the official guidance price of Fenglanda of 12.58 ~ 169,800 yuan, it has become the cheapest SUV model under GAC Toyota in one fell swoop, compared with the guidance price of C-HR fuel version 14.18 ~ 160,800 yuan, it can be seen that the new car is obviously to focus on cost performance and large space, and then avoid the same room to ensure the formation of differentiation with C-HR.
In fact, C-HR and Fenglanda do have different orientations, the former is to meet the needs of young users who pursue personality, while Fenglanda is suitable for consumers who like large space and practicality.
C-HR and Fenglanda have a wheelbase of the same 2640mm, but Fenglanda has a significant increase in three dimensions, the latter 4485x1825x1620mm of three circumference is also larger than the former, while under the flat roof and wide rear window, the new car also has a wider rear view than C-HR, obviously to solve the rear space, to further enhance the practicality.
However, the seat setting of Fenglanda is also too "Toyota", the entry-level model and the sub-entry-level model are only fabric seats, from which to get imitation leather seats, and the car is fully in the rear row without a central armrest, but fortunately, the rear seat back angle supports the adjustment of this point is commendable.
Earlier we have experienced the back space performance of Fenglanda, the back space of Fengland is better than C-HR, and Leiling is basically the same, but thanks to the 775mm rear head space, it is indeed better than Leiling in this area. However, it should be noted that the rear suspension of the Fenglanda series is a torsion beam structure, while the Leiling is rear independent suspension, but the space of the former has not improved much, which is probably due to cost considerations...
For this price model, there is no need to pursue any comfortable interior atmosphere, everything is basically practical. Fenglanda's interior layout and Leiling maintain a high degree of consistency, including physical buttons, knobs, etc. are also retained, low difficulty in getting started, and almost no learning costs.
Although the mechanical and 7-inch LCD mix-and-match instruments are no longer in line with the times, but the clear and easy-to-read characteristics we think are enough to put on the fenglanda positioning model; the 9-inch suspension instrument separation rate can only be said to be average, equipped with the "Fengyun Yuexiang" intelligent vehicle system, with remote control functions, in addition, the new car also supports HiCar/Carplay/Carlife a variety of interconnection methods, to meet the problem of intelligent travel.
Of course, the central control of Fenglanda is not completely different from Thatling, in which the former optimizes the storage space in details, such as adding a large area of storage slots in front of the gear lever to facilitate the placement of fragments.
As for the power part, GAC Toyota Fenglanda is equipped with a 2.0L Dynamic Force Engine engine with a maximum power of 171 horsepower (126 kW) and a maximum torque of 205 Nm, matched with a 10-speed Direct Shift-CVT transmission that can simulate 10 speeds, and consumes 5.7 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers.
▲ Which GAC Toyota Fenglanda is worth buying?
GAC Toyota Fenglanda offers a total of 7 colors of glazed gold, platinum pearl white, ink crystal black, fluorite blue, crystal silver, desert gold, coral red, including coral red, glazed gold, platinum pearl white and desert gold.
The 2.0L CVT Elite Edition priced at 125,800 yuan maintains the consistent level of GAC Toyota, and the new car is equipped with 7 airbags as standard (9 SRS airbags for the top model), while there is also an 8-inch suspension central control screen, and supports three interconnection methods, with a mature enough 2.0L engine, which is barely enough to buy vegetables in the ordinary era. But aside from the above highlight factors, the elite version of the model is still somewhat monotonous, the sunroof, reversing image and other configurations are all absent, and even the near and far lights are halogen, in the current automotive market in 2022, such configuration standards do not seem to satisfy most home users.
Spending an extra 14,000 yuan, you can get a 2.0L CVT leading version model priced at 139,800 yuan, compared with the entry-level model, the latter mainly increased toyota Safety Sense safety system, which includes lane keeping, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, etc., while the addition of electric sunroofs, keyless entry/start and adaptive near and far lights undoubtedly increases the convenience of daily use. However, with reference to the difference of 14,000 yuan, only the above configurations have been upgraded, and it is indeed "slightly shabby", if you have little demand for the upgrade brought by the leading version, or choose the elite version will be more cost-effective.
The 2.0L CVT luxury version model priced at 149,800 yuan is the middle version of the 2022 GAC Toyota Fenglanda car series, which increases the price by 10,000 yuan compared with the leading version, mainly upgrading the reversing image, imitation leather seat, main driver waist support, main driver electric adjustment, LED matrix headlights, LED daytime running lights, rear seat air outlet, it can be said that this 10,000 yuan is very worth spending, can meet the needs of the family in an all-round way, so it is worth recommending.
In addition, the elite version and the leading version are not unbought, and it is indeed very difficult to take these two versions for home use, so we believe that these two are only suitable for those who are older or use it as an online car to buy.
The sub-top model 2.0L CVT luxury PLUS version is priced at 159,800 yuan, which is 10,000 yuan higher than the luxury version of the car, in addition to the wheel rim increased by 1 inch to 18 inches, the configuration mainly upgrades the 360-degree panoramic image, electric trunk, induction trunk, trunk memory, 9-inch floating central control screen, Internet of Vehicles, intelligent online navigation and OTA upgrades and other functions, but unfortunately the mobile phone interconnection / mapping disappears with the change of car and machine, which is a pity for users who are accustomed to using the Internet.
The luxury version of the PLUS model has a high degree of intelligent configuration richness, and at the same time, the comfort function has been re-enhanced, and all aspects of the care are excellent, so this version is also recommended, but the priority is slightly lower than that of the deluxe version.
2.0L CVT Premium Edition is the top model of the 2022 GAC Toyota Fenglanda car series, although the configuration is quite comprehensive, but the car price of nearly 170,000 yuan is indeed only suitable for those users with a fairly sufficient budget, and the car price plus a little money can be purchased in veranda that is half a grade higher than it, which is obviously not cost-effective, so directLy Pass. In addition, if you have a strong interest in the hybrid version of the model, you may wish to wait, the hybrid version of Fenglanda or will arrive in the domestic market this year, it is worth looking forward to!
