"I have a car" original test report: the same level of big hits, value preservation artifact, online has not won, sales have not lost, yes, it is GAC Toyota Highlander ...
Since its introduction to Domestic production in 2009, GAC Toyota Highlander has been the best-selling medium-sized SUV in China, of which it became the first medium-sized SUV with cumulative sales of more than 1 million units in China in the third quarter of last year, which is a well-deserved benchmark product.
On June 25, 2021, GAC Toyota's new fourth-generation Highlander was officially launched, and the official guidance price of six models was 268,880 to 348,800 yuan. Although the new car is listed, but now there is still no penny discount, it seems that as long as the three words "Highlander" are hung on the product, the car is not worried about selling, and the retention rate of the same generation of models is basically stable.
The new fourth-generation GAC Toyota Highlander is based on the TNGA architecture, and in addition to the huge innovation of the interior and exterior parts, the fourth-generation THS II hybrid system composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine + electric motor is also equipped with a matching E-CVT gearbox. Recently, we have conducted a detailed test of the new fourth-generation Highlander, interested partners can look at the video content of the latest two issues of "I Have a Car", and then we mainly look at the acceleration braking performance of this car, hoping to help you before buying a car.
The model we are testing in this issue is the 2022 GAC Toyota Highlander Dual Engine 2.5L 4WD Extreme Edition, with a combined maximum power of 249 horsepower. In addition, the size of the new car has been upgraded from the old 19 inches to 20 inches, the styling style is not both retro and high-grade, and the tires have chosen the Dunlop SPORT MAXX 050, which focuses on a certain amount of grip, handling and noise suppression.
The new fourth-generation Highlander supports a certain speed to start, although there is an electronic four-wheel drive system blessing, but there will still be a certain slippage phenomenon at the beginning, until the four-wheel drive system instantaneous intervention, its follow-up overall acceleration process is extremely smooth, but the explosive force is not enough, and finally achieved zero hundred acceleration 8 seconds 05 results.
The maximum G value of the car in the starting stage is only 0.64G, and there is only a slight feeling of pushing back when starting, but due to the blessing of the motor, the subjective feeling is that the starting acceleration of this car is very brisk, and the acceleration signal of the accelerator pedal can also be quickly executed. In addition, even if the explosive power of the car is not enough, the front of the car is slow, and there is no passion to drive softly, but it is indeed a steady word, and for those Buddhist users or home users, the favorability is almost full.
The new fourth generation highlander brake results can only be said to be average, the measured 100 km brake stop performance is only 36.17 meters, in almost the same test environment, compared to the Audi Q8 31.84 meters of brake performance we tested earlier There is still a certain gap, and the brake braking force of the first section of the car is obviously weak, after continuing to step deeply, the braking force is released significantly, the overall foot feeling is not linear enough, it is recommended to replace it later.
"I have a car" summary: Highlander was originally a car that could not pick out any big faults, and the new generation of models not only made up for the shortcomings of the past, but also gave the double engine hybrid this big killer, although we tested this car in the brake part has a certain slot point, but this is not a big problem The follow-up can replace a set of better performance brake system, plus Highlander's own ultra-high retention rate as the basis, presumably the car can continue its glory.
