Listing date: June 25
Price: 268,800-348,800 yuan
According to the popular saying now, "medium-sized SUVs can't lose the Highlander, just like Europe can't lose Jerusalem". Although it is a joke, I believe that everyone understands the meaning. Highlander exists as a benchmark for medium-sized SUVs, and any large seven-seat SUV must pass the test of Highlander. It was ridiculed by netizens as: Highlander of iron, challenger of flowing water. So who can really take the Highlander off the horse, the answer is the next generation of Highlander. So the fourth generation Highlander came.
Since Highlander was first imported in China in July 2007, it has completed four iterations so far, and has been in the Chinese market for 15 years, with cumulative sales of nearly 1.2 million vehicles and more than 4.45 million units worldwide. As a new replacement model, the fourth generation Highlander replaced the TNGA-K platform and upgraded it in terms of appearance, interior, space, and power. Among them, the biggest change is in terms of power, the first introduction of TNGA 2.5L fourth-generation THSII. Toyota hybrid system, fuel consumption of only 6.1L per 100 kilometers, the maximum endurance of up to 1000km.
As the biggest killer of Highlander's space, the new fourth-generation Highlander has also been further improved, the length has increased by 75mm, and the wheelbase has also been lengthened by 60mm, which is reflected in the car is the second row of seat rails extended by 30mm, making the third row not only more convenient to ride, but also has more legroom. In addition, the third row of seat backrests has also been lengthened and thickened, which has greatly improved the comfort of the occupants in the third row.
Only Highlander can surpass Highlander. The new fourth-generation Highlander re-evolved at a higher level, continuing the myth of the "King's Benchmark".

I believe that the brand [Xilis] may still be a little strange to passers-by in the non-automotive circle, but if Huawei is mentioned, everyone knows it. This is a bit like the business model of live streaming with goods, through the popularity of well-known anchors to help drive sales of new products. It is also true that since the release of the Celis Huawei Smart SF5, a product that Huawei and Xilis cooperated with, the attention of Xilis has skyrocketed.
So what support does Huawei provide? To put it simply, in addition to the styling design, the internal software and even the power system have Huawei involved. For example, huawei HiCar all-scenario intelligent interconnection system is included, which integrates Huawei's all-scenario intelligent interconnection (HUAWEI HiCar Smart Connection) solution, which can support a variety of refined scenarios, realize in-car control through multi-scene voice interaction, and subsequent online OTA upgrades.

In the early years, Korean cars, with their good looks and super high cost performance, once had a strong performance in the market, taking SUVs as an example, Beijing Hyundai Tucson once could compete with CR-V and Tiguan. However, with the strong rise of independent brands, cost performance is no longer the unique skill of Korean cars, and Tucson has gradually lost its former glory.
Not erupting in silence, dying in silence, Beijing Hyundai apparently did not sit still, but launched the fifth generation of Tucson L, the new car is based on Hyundai Group's latest i-GMP platform to build, compared with the previous four generations of models, the appearance has undergone earth-shaking changes, you can hardly find any traces of the previous generations. Specifically, the design concept of "Sensuous Sportiness" is adopted, and the refraction of light and shadow is maximized through a gem-like cutting process to create a flowing light and shadow effect.
In terms of power, the 1.5T-GDi turbocharged engine equipped with the fifth generation Tucson L has a maximum output of 147 kW and a peak torque of 253N·m, and the fuel consumption of the comprehensive working conditions of 100 kilometers is only 6.0L, which is equipped with the world's original CVVD continuous variable valve duration technology, which can reasonably control the valve opening duration under the corresponding working conditions according to the different working conditions of the engine, so as to improve engine performance by 4%, reduce energy consumption by 5%, and reduce emissions by 12%.

The front fenders are marked with the words "N Line" for improved legibility, and double-sided paint with different colors of the roof and body. In terms of power, it is no different from the ordinary version, and it is still equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged four-cylinder engine with CVVD technology.
