Domestic compact SUV and joint venture compact SUV has a completely different user group, the former target group is the ordinary working family \ migrant workers, this part of the consumer to buy a car is a cost-effective, spend the least amount of money to do the most things, prompting this part of the user to choose domestic cars The reason is low budget. The target group of the joint venture compact SUV is higher, their income is higher, their jobs are more stable, and therefore they have a higher pursuit of automotive products. Strictly speaking, the 100,000 Haval H6 is no worse than the 200,000 Rongfang, and even better in terms of power, configuration and workmanship, however, Rongzhong can still achieve 20,000+ monthly sales in the case of expensive 80,000, which shows that its core competitiveness is still there.
The core competitiveness of the joint venture compact SUV lies in more prominent brand power, more reliable quality, higher retention rate, these invisible advantages are not as intuitive as power, configuration, workmanship materials, but it is also very important for consumers, for this part of the consumer group, even if it costs tens of thousands of dollars to pay, it is worth it. For example, Toyota Veranda, the first impression of this car is that the price is high, the power is weak, the car system is poor, and the workmanship materials are cheap, but the sales are high. It threw out 18,043 vehicles in November, which is more popular than Boyue, Changan CS75PLUS, Honda CRV, and what is unique about Veranda? Let's take this opportunity to understand.
Although the Veylanda and The Rongfang are brother models, this car is still different from the Rongfang, the Veylanda is the fourth member of the TNGA product family after the eighth generation Camry, C-HR and the new Ralink, and is also the first TNGA mid-size SUV model of GAC Toyota. From the naming of "Lanta" to the overall design style, Veranda looks more like a small "Highlander", its front face looks very recognizable, the classic upper and lower split type of forward air grille and maintain a small and large pattern, of which, the trapezoidal lower intake grille adopts a blackened mesh mesh, embellished with LED far and near light groups, and then with the sporty brake air intake, creating a sense of fashion atmosphere.
The design of the tail headlights is quite a finishing touch, the C-type taillights are compressed in the upper and lower directions and integrated with the chrome decorative strips, coupled with the wide black under-the-wall and double exhaust cylinders, the tough atmosphere does not lose the sporty style. The sideways shape, such as the amplitude of the wheel eyebrows, is more powerful, and the looming waist line adopts a forward-leaning and backward posture from the rear to the front A-pillar, making the entire body show a sense of rapidity in creeping forward. In addition, the shape of the aluminum alloy wheels is also very attractive, and the specifications are 225\60 R18 and 235\55 R19. As for the body size part, the Willanda's length, width and height are 4665mm, 1855mm, 1680mm, and the wheelbase length is 2690mm, which belongs to the body of a standard compact SUV, so how does it perform in terms of driving space in the car? Let's move on.
After the actual experience, Veranda's spatial performance and rongfang are almost the same, its rear seats are well integrated into the ergonomics, although the cushions are not particularly long, but sitting up for your wrapping and support is still relatively good, if only two people sit, comfort can be well guaranteed. Unfortunately, there is a high bulge in the middle of the rear floor of Veranda, the bulge is close to 10 centimeters, and the passengers in the middle may not be very comfortable when sitting full, and it is easy to get tired after a long time in the car. The trunk volume is 580L, which is very competitive in the same class, and the rear seats also support forward flattening, thus playing a role in expanding the trunk space, coupled with a rich humanized configuration, practicality and comfort are not flawless.
Veranda's interior design belongs to the type of more attractive, the traditional T-shaped symmetrical center console plus the suspension multimedia screen, under the background of the pure black main color, calm atmosphere and modern technology sense, in line with the user population of all ages. In detail, Veranda's central control layout is very three-dimensional layered, leather covering, seams, chrome outfits are integrated into the design, making the entire interior look layered, in addition, the front of the gear lever also added a flexible storage space, taking into account the practical and design sense.
Active and passive safety configuration part, Velanda is equipped with 7 airbags, child seats, automatic parking, tire pressure monitoring, and the whole car seat belt is not buttoned... Except for the lowest model, the rest of the models are equipped with L2 level driver assistance system. At the same time, five driving modes such as ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping, parallel assist, collision warning \ active braking, including off-road \ snow mode, are equipped with some configurations. Based on the TNGA platform to build Veyland in the safety performance can still be assured, the test results of the Zhongbao Research Institute are enough to explain a lot of problems, the only thing that makes people feel complained about is its car machine system, does not support self-upgrading, navigation is very difficult to use, it is better to use mobile phones.
Finally, looking at the powertrain, the Veranda fuel version is equipped with a combination of a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a simulated 10-speed CVT transmission, and some models match a multi-disc clutch-type four-wheel drive system, which has a maximum power of 171 horsepower and a peak torque of 209 Nm, which is not very strong, but it is enough as a domestic SUV, and it is good for smoothness, linear power output, and excellent fuel economy. The hybrid version is a 2.5L+ motor hybrid system, which is more powerful and consumes as little as 4.6L per 100 km, making it more suitable for families.
So which car should Veranda choose? The first four-wheel drive luxury version model, on the one hand, is because the four-wheel drive version is only 9,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive; on the other hand, the power of the 2.0L is already weak, the two-wheel drive driving experience is not very good, the four-wheel drive version of the model has better control and cornering ability, and it is more confident to deal with the wet and slippery road. Of course, if the budget is enough, then the choice of hybrid version of the model is also understandable, Toyota's hybrid is still worth affirming, whether it is performance, fuel consumption or reliability are not flawed, more suitable for home.
