V6 engine + front-end rear drive, close to the people, stable value preservation, Ruizhi only rely on these points in the Chinese market for more than ten years, won many praise from consumers. With the 528188 Ruizhi off the production line in 2017, a generation of Shenche officially announced the suspension of production, becoming out of print, and now it can only be found in the second-hand car market, still maintaining its value and pursuing. Just recently, a seller upgraded the BMW 5 Series and commissioned a 2015 registered Ruizhi 2013 2.5V Zhenying version, allowing us to revisit a generation of classic models. (More third-party entrusted to help sell car sources update in real time, you can pay attention to the public number: UCar Hunter, accept all models nationwide tao).
FAW Toyota introduced Ruizhi into domestic production and sales in 2005, when it was in the range of 200,000 yuan, and there were very few models that drove and used V6 engines at the same time, and the launch of Ruizhi just made up for the gap in the sports car market of about 200,000 yuan. Even in this day and age, six-cylinder engines with rear-wheel drive structural models will have a strong enough appeal.
Although the combination of "V6 engine + front and rear drive" is not too high-tech content, it is often considered high-end in the traditional concept, and it has always been different in the same level camp, and I believe that many consumers are deeply attracted by this.
The 2013 Toyota Ruizhi in front of us belongs to the mid-term modification, and it is also the last product to be revamped, the chassis and power system are not much different from the old model, and the main change is the appearance change. The appearance continues the shape of the overseas Mark X, the front face design style has become more radical, the manufacturer has designed an impressive front face for it, which looks a little fierce, and the sharp headlights show an angry look, hating the four-cylinder front-drivers all over the street.
I still remember the first time I saw the new sharp official map released by the Japanese side, whether it was an old car owner or a person watching the hilarity, he would sincerely issue a "Wow, this is so good" But when the spy photos of domestic models first appeared on the Internet, they habitually splashed a cold water. Why do you say this, because Ruizhi is known as "MARK X" in Japan, so the front of the car logo is not the same as the domestic bull head logo, but from the first generation of models has been an "X" logo. The domestic version has been using Toyota's bull head logo since the first generation of models, of course, the 2013 model has not escaped this doom, so this is also the reason why many old car owners spontaneously replaced the net with the "X" logo.
At that time, there was no concept of daytime running lights, so the 2013 model on this large LED daytime running lights was still very exciting. The irregular design, coupled with the widened upper grille in the visual effect, is very innovative (officially called sharp eye).
The overall body contour of Ruizhi's shape is still very stable, without too many rigid lines, a shape suitable for all ages. In addition, because it is a mid-term redesign, the lines on the side of the vehicle are basically copied from the relatively tough line design of the old model.
The 2013 model has a body size of 4750mm/1795mm/1435mm and a wheelbase of 2850mm, which is longer and lower than the 4735mm/1795mm/1450mm of the 2010 model due to the rear of the front and rear of the car, resulting in a 15mm increase in body length, while other data are the same as those of the 2010 model. , the wheelbase remains the same.
When the gaze shifts to the tail, the fang-shaped taillight profile makes the tail look more visually impactful than the 2010 model, and the double reversing lights on the 2013 model are finally installed, which finally makes people look more comfortable after hanging up the reverse gear.
In terms of wheels, the high-end "Big V" model uses 18-inch ten-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and this "Small V" version is low-end with 215/60 R16 models.
The 2013 model still uses the same 5GR-FE V6 engine as the 2008 model, but in fact, this V6 engine is not young, the power adjustment is unchanged, the maximum power is 142 kW (193 hp), and the maximum torque is 236 Nm. However, from the 2010 model onwards, in order to adapt to the lower fuel label, the power level of the engine was slightly lowered, and the slightly lowered engine data would not have much impact on the driving experience, and the power point was still around 4000 rpm.
It must be admitted that the 6-cylinder engine does have its own unique charm. In particular, the smoothness is outstanding in its class. Like other Japanese compatriots, Ruizhi's throttle bias is sensitive, and the starting acceleration is very brisk, except that its power output is more uniform and linear, with a sense of thickness that is rare in Japanese cars. The 6-speed automatic transmission with it is also quite tacit, this set of machines we are very familiar with, the gear shift is particularly gentle, and it is still impossible to fault it.
If the appearance of the 2013 Ruizhi can be described as stunning, then the design of the interior can only be said to have made no progress, and the design style is almost completely unchanged from the 2010 model. It is not enough to attract the attention of old car owners. In addition, the interior of the car has also maintained its previous appearance, and the soft material is matched with a wood grain device and inlaid with chrome decorative strips, which is more mature. If you talk about personality, Ruizhi's interior looks very general, the center console is a standard T-shape, all kinds of functional buttons are conventional design, workmanship and feel are up to the right level, will not let you down, do not expect surprises.
The ride is comfortable, and the wide seats make it easy to enjoy the journey, but the seating space is not Ruizhi's strength.
Ruizhi is criticized for the large basin-like steering wheel, although this four-frame steering wheel has improved a little sports compared to the first generation of Ruizhi, but why doesn't Ruizhi, which always flaunts sports, use a three-frame smaller steering wheel? Is it only the large four-frame steering wheel that domestic consumers think of as luxurious?
Although it is a 2013 remodeled model, the interior is not suitable for the feeling of the redesign in terms of design or layout, which is somewhat out of tune with the more aggressive appearance.
The space advantage is not large, and it is made up by configuration. The overall configuration of Ruizhi is quite rich, such as xenon headlights, body stability control system and knee airbags are standard.
The rear legroom is not small, but the head is still not spacious. In addition, the rear-drive car also has a drive shaft through the car, and the leg space of the passengers in the middle of the rear is really tight, which is not suitable for a long time. The owner also upgraded the standard woven seats and interior of the British version to leather.
Low noise has always been a feature of Ruizhi, the engine noise is almost imperceptible, and the sound insulation effect of the chassis is particularly good.
This 2015 registered second-hand Ruizhi, the original version of the whole car no accident, no soaking water, the owner of the maintenance and use is also very clear, the overall working condition is in good condition, like can pay attention to the private message to us. As a high-horsepower after-driving car, we also hope that Toyota can launch a successor to Ruizhi as soon as possible.
