Once upon a time, there was a media comparison of the Toyota Prado, Highlander and Runner! In fact, these three cars have their own areas, such as Highlander to pay more attention to urban feelings, Prado pays more attention to off-road performance, runners have become a product between the two, from the upward shape is more inclined to urban SUV, but in terms of performance is more focused on off-road performance! So these two cars are also complementary! With the delisting of the Prado, the balance between the three has also been broken, in the end who can fill the vacancy of the Prado, naturally it will not be Highlander, then only the runner can do it!
In fact, the previous runners in the appearance of the adjustment is not rich, and relatively simple, but after the replacement is completely changed, so that Highlander in front of it does not have any advantage, and is obviously harder than Highlander! First from the front, it is equipped with three horizontal bar trim strips, and each trim strip has a different design, which looks slightly more complicated, and we also see red lines in front of the cover, which match the black middle net and create a stronger sporty atmosphere. The front bracket is obviously strengthened, especially in the position of the fog lamp, forming an embedded shape, the double headlights have become more slender, and the internal light source presents a streamlined design. It can be regarded as a multi-element model.
On the side, the feeling we want is coming, in fact, there are still many similarities with the previous generation of products, after all, it is a car developed for the North American market, so there will be a strong Effect of American cars on the side, such as Ford's Pathfinder! The proportions of the whole car have changed, leaving more leeway at the rear, which also makes the front door slightly tighter! The waistline presents a sense of step! On the tail side, the tail lights on both sides show a triangular design, and the raised rear surround echoes the front bracket, and in addition, in order to show its coherence, the entire exhaust is also completely hidden.
After the replacement of the runner in the interior layout has also changed, such as in the central control screen to cancel the conventional "cliff" style, the entire center console and the design below through together, embedded in a larger size of the central control screen, including the display effect and the richness of the display content, are stronger than the previous version! However, the dashboard is only a fully mechanical design, which is somewhat regrettable! And the gear rod is also quite retro! But the quality of the whole car is still quite good, whether it is on the center console or in the seats are wrapped in high-quality leather, which should be a plus for the new car.
Since to replace the Prado, then in the power and off-road performance has become our most concerned place, according to the latest news received ahead, the new generation of runners will be equipped with two sets of powertrains, namely 2.7L gasoline and 2.8T diesel engine, of which the maximum power of the gasoline engine is 166 horsepower, the peak torque is 245N·m, and the maximum power of the diesel engine is 204 horsepower, the peak torque reaches 500N·m, matching the 5-speed manual and 6AT transmission, It is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system. For example, non-load-bearing body, differential lock, etc. have also become the standard for new cars! In this way, the new car is indeed seamless with the Prado, the new car has been confirmed to be imported, the expected price will not exceed 300,000, I don't know what you think of this car!
