Toyota Highlander is no stranger to the majority of car friends, since 2009 GAC Toyota domestic Highlander debut, with consistent driving quality, 87.09% high retention rate, and standing in the market "higher" posture, Highlander has become the absolute leader of luxury seven-seat SUV. Over the years, Highlander's qualities have been passed down by word of mouth and attracted countless families.
After 8 years, the new fourth-generation Highlander has arrived as scheduled, upgrading its product strength in an all-round way, bringing users a more valuable product experience, and also creating a high-quality, high-hedonistic lifestyle. With the arrival of the new fourth-generation Highlander, its benchmarking style has been further presented, and it will once again capture more young people's fans. The good reputation accumulated by Highlander over the years has made the sales volume of the new fourth-generation Highlander rise steadily after its listing, and it continues to become a hot product of this level.
With the gradual increase in the current cost of living and work pressure, more and more urban people are full of the desire to constantly try and embrace life in addition to the two-point and one-line daily travel mode of work and home. The "5+2+7" life concept advocated by the new fourth-generation Highlander - that is, 5 days of city life + 2 days of short outing + 7 days of long-distance travel; this concept is the perfect interpretation of high-quality life, get rid of the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy HIGH life. For professionals with families, this kind of life has also become a compulsory philosophy of life to find the best compatibility from this familiar rhythm of life.
Before the Spring Festival, Xiaobian conducted an in-depth test drive of the new fourth-generation Highlander and personally touched the spiritual connotation of the new fourth-generation Highlander. In the editor's opinion, the first sight of the new fourth-generation Highlander can feel its strong aura of confidence and calmness. Whether it is the shape design or functional configuration, the new fourth-generation Highlander's product strength has reached a higher level, which is very in line with his bold pursuit of the future. In the face of such an all-round model, Xiaobian feels: "It is really impeccable."
In the overall design of the vehicle, Xiaobian's favorite is its upper and lower split trapezoidal grille, with a multi-eye LED design, which enhances the sense of luxury of the front face while showing a sense of spaciousness and heaviness, and also adds a touch of tenderness to the "handicraft" of this reinforced iron bone. At the same time, the front grille is also blackened like many of the current main young models, with the internal matrix structure, so that the sense of sport of the vehicle is more prominent.
Of course, external decency has never been the primary pursuit, and what really makes it determine its choice is the refinement and luxury created in the car. The new fourth-generation Highlander uses material quality that does not cut corners, and the steering wheel, dashboard, door panels, seats and other large areas are wrapped in delicate leather and thick wrapped seats with deep thread sewing, and the luxurious atmosphere runs through the whole body from the palm of the hand to the whole body at the moment of entering the carriage.
In addition to the youthful trend appearance of the new fourth-generation Highlander, the luxurious feeling of the interior can also achieve both design and quality. And its super fuel-saving skills, not only save costs but also reduce the time for refueling back and forth, and further "simplify" busy life.
Riding on the Chinese New Year's Eve approaching, the Xiaobian family specially drove the fourth generation Highlander back to his hometown with a bunch of New Year goods to visit his elderly parents. The new fourth-generation Highlander has an oversized luggage compartment storage space for stacking items. In addition to filling the luggage compartment with a variety of New Year goods, the spacious second row of space can also transform children into a "mobile playground", so that children can have a warm and comfortable play space during the drive. The "5+2+7" high-quality lifestyle brought by the new fourth-generation Highlander is perfectly represented in the cockpit space. Under the premise of increasing the length of the car by 75mm, increasing the height of the car by 35mm, and the wheelbase reaching 2850mm, the space utilization and space comfort of the "big 7-seater" model are almost maximized.
In the driving body has a feeling, Xiaobian's driver's seat only needs to slide forward a small step, you can bring a large step of telescopic space for the second row, as for "Ge You Lie" is basically not a problem. And with the second row of seat rails extended by 30mm and the luggage compartment length increased to 520mm, it can be said that the new fourth-generation Highlander has created a more effective space value for the large family and large luggage. All in all, no matter which link in the "5+2+7", there is no shortage of space and filled capacity, in short, in terms of space, in a word to describe Highlander, that is, it can make the owner's car life, more "self", more "superego", striding forward in high life.
Wuhan has recently ushered in continuous rain and snow, and the wet and slippery road conditions have also put forward higher requirements for the four-wheel drive capability of the new fourth-generation Highlander. Fortunately, the new E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system has a TRAIL out of trouble mode, on the rain and snow road, E-FOUR four wheel drive can rely on faster reaction speed, to monitor the wheel speed difference in real time, the first time to distribute the power to the wheel, with the body stability system to ensure the stability of driving on the ice and snow road. The latest generation of Toyota Safety Sense safety system helps Xiaobian avoid driving hazards while driving. Rich configuration and high security are the strength of the fourth generation Highlander to dare to achieve the "5+2+7" lifestyle. The dual-engine 2.5L four-wheel drive extreme version model tested by Xiaobian also has a full LCD instrument, panoramic sunroof, JBL 11 speaker audio, face recognition, seat ventilation, second row seat heating, main driver seat memory and other practical configurations.
For this trip, the new Highlander intelligent configuration also made Xiaobian shine. The new fourth-generation Highlander's intelligent system of "car machine is mobile phone" makes travel no longer boring. The new car has introduced in-vehicle intelligent connection systems including 12.3-inch intelligent voice navigation system, face ID recognition system, HiCar/Carplay/Carlife, etc. In addition, through the "Fengyun Yuexiang" Intelligent Travel Interconnection Service, from home to company, from the underground parking lot of shopping malls, the author can carry out 14 intelligent remote settings such as vehicle condition inquiry, remote air conditioning, anti-theft reminder, etc., and feel a new mobile travel experience everywhere. Obviously, the new car machine system equipped with the new fourth-generation Highlander has brought value upgrades to the vehicle innovation of traditional car companies.
The new fourth-generation Highlander not only upgrades the interior touch, but also has a new experience in terms of power and driving control. From the start of the vehicle, the new fourth-generation Highlander shows its difference - there is no noise at the start of the traditional fuel vehicle, only the tranquility brought by the dual approach of the motor and the active noise reduction system. The new fourth-generation Highlander is equipped with a 2.5L hybrid assembly, bringing two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, of which the maximum power of the 2.5L engine is 141kW (192PS) and the peak torque is 238N m; in terms of motors, the dual-engine four-wheel drive extreme version driven by Xiaobian is equipped with a 174kW motor (including a 40kW rear motor), and the drivetrain is matched with the E-CVT gearbox. The twin engine 2.5L four-wheel drive extreme version tested by Xiaobian starts with electric drive, and on the way of oil and electricity mixing, you can rarely enjoy the driving pleasure of "a clever hand" and "a foot on a strong". More importantly, thanks to the new fourth-generation enhanced version of the Toyota Hybrid System under the Toyota TNGA architecture, the new fourth-generation Highlander battery capacity is larger and the comprehensive power is higher. As for the necessary factors such as fuel consumption, pure electric mileage, etc., Xiaobian has no driving anxiety.
▓Editor's own comment
With the improvement of the economy and living standards, the demand for travel outings has gradually strengthened, and the new Highlander can achieve product strength at the same time, but also allow more users to enjoy a free life, so that the travel of life becomes more interesting. On the surface, the life of a car given by a brand and a model is the same, but the meaning of the life of the people and cars given by Highlander is not the same. For consumers, there are countless kinds of "lives", and since the day Highlander was listed, it has brought absolutely different "lives". The "527" HIGH lifestyle advocated by it plays a different role in the "527" life, bringing happiness and travel index improvement, and will eventually determine our "poetry and far away", through this test drive, the new fourth-generation Highlander makes the life of the editor's car unique from now on.
