The more in the harsh environment, the more you can show your own strength, can take you to any place you want to go, but never throw you in the middle of the road, Land Cruiser (that is, Land Cruiser, hereinafter referred to as the Land Cruiser) is such a product, with leading off-road performance and excellent product reliability, Land Cruiser has a lot of supporters in the world.
The previous generation of models in the market for 14 years before last year ushered in the replacement, the Japanese domestic market price of only more than 300,000, but the parallel import to the domestic current bidding price has exceeded one million to start, the top GR SPORT version is more than 1.5 million, directly reached the standard of Mercedes-Benz big G, the difference behind this pricing is enough to highlight Toyota's confidence.
Perhaps also due to too slow update rhythm, the arrival of a new generation of Land Cruisers makes fans around the world excited, the new Land Cruiser has received a large number of orders after the listing, and recently Toyota officials have even issued an announcement for the delivery time of the Land Cruiser, because the car is not only in Japan, but also in countries around the world are well received, orders take a lot of time to deliver, it is expected to take about 4 years, the manufacturer apologized.
Seeing here do not know what kind of mentality those who want to buy Land Cruisers will be, it is undeniable that Land Cruiser's status in the global field, but this delivery period in 4 years has exceeded Tesla and other new car-making forces. Officials say it is affected by the lack of cores, but this reason does not seem to be very valid. To be honest, even if the Product Force of the Land Patrol is strong, it is difficult to say that someone is willing to wait four years. After all, the current auto market competition is so fierce, product updates are so rapid, in these 4 years, there will be no excellent hardcore off-road.
Take the domestic brand tank as an example, it ignited this used to be regarded as a niche hardcore off-road market, the tank 300 last year sales reached nearly 85,000 vehicles, creating a new record in the field of hardcore off-road, in the past Prado and Land Patrol have never achieved results.
Of course, the relatively close price is one of the reasons, but more importantly, the tank 300 itself is not bad quality, compared to our traditional impression of the hardcore off-road vehicle, it is more refined, technology and comfortable, in order to meet the outdoor play at the same time, taking into account the comfort and practical convenience of our daily urban car.
Tank 300 positioning is not enough to compete with the Land Patrol such as medium and large SUVs, but this year's official launch of the tank 500 in the overall momentum and the creation of the sense of internal luxury will not lose to the Land Patrol, more than 5 meters in length or even larger than the Land Patrol, and in the core power equipped with 3.0T V6 + 9AT transmission, the maximum horsepower reached 354Ps, strong performance, but also equipped with three locks of full-time four-wheel drive, tank U-turns and other hardcore configurations, wading depth up to 800mm, Passability and off-road performance should not be underestimated.
The key thing is that the pre-sale price of the tank 500 only needs 335,000 yuan, and the top price is 395,000 yuan, and the price advantage is quite obvious. If the tank 500 can meet our needs, will anyone really be willing to spend 4 years waiting? The question is truly questionable.
