Frontlanda
The price range is 125,800-16.98 million yuan, which is Toyota's cheapest SUV model in China, and as a child of the "Landa family", can this car inherit the mantle of its "big brother" and become Toyota's next blockbuster?
Test drive: Produced by TNGA, it must be a boutique
Although this car has a very "Chinese market" name in China, this FengLanda is an original Japanese version of the Corolla Cross, so this car may be the cheapest Toyota JDM style model that can be bought in China. Of course, from the TNGA-C architecture of the FrontLanda, driving will never pull crotch.
Of course, if there is any power in this 2.0L engine, it is nonsense. However, the linear power output is still very likable, as a person with high power requirements, the author feels that the power adjustment of this engine is just right on the front Landa, the low torque is strong enough, and the mid-section power output is also very smooth.
The brake foot feel retains the consistent tuning of Japanese cars, the first half is softer, most of the braking force is concentrated in the second half, and the Grip of Bridgestone tires on the top model is still excellent, and the braking effect is justified.
There are many people will take Toyota Fenglanda and Toyota C-HR to compare, after all, the two cars have a certain overlap in terms of price, in terms of chassis feeling, C-HR will be easier when dealing with fine vibrations, and the filter is better, but this does not mean that Fenglanda is not good enough, at least in terms of passability, Fenglanda is more worthy of SUV positioning, and it is also more suitable for a family of three or four.
The steering feel is still very Toyota, gentle, delicate, and the handling is unexpectedly very good, the rear of the car follows very well, and it does not feel very dragging down the road, and the suspension support is also reasonable. Fenglanda's consumers are young families of three or four, and occasionally when driving alone, Fenglanda can also give you the right little passion.
During the driving process, most of the noise of Fenglanda comes from tire noise and engine noise, but it is within the acceptable range, as long as the speed is not pulled too high, the Fenglanda cabin is still quiet enough most of the time, horizontal comparison with the same level of German and American opponents, Fenglanda may not be the best NVH, but it is also called the upstream level.
In the price range of 100,000-200,000, Fenglanda is enough to be called the upstream level in terms of power level or control feeling and intelligent driving, especially the TSS2.0 zhixing safety system that is equipped with the second lowest standard, which is even more frictional on the ground, coupled with the flexible driving experience of the TNGA architecture, it can be said that Fenglanda has hit the car purchase pain points of consumers in this price range.
The huge honeycomb-shaped net accounts for two-thirds of the entire front of the car, and the wide size adds a hint of tough guy flavor, while the logo is surrounded by body color trim panels, which is a huge contrast with the color matching of the middle net. Retaining individuality in practicality is the first feeling that Fenglanda gives people.
The side shape is more regular, there is not much personality design, and it is a more ordinary SUV silhouette. However, there is a black trim strip under the A column, and a chrome trim strip above the C and D pillars, which add up the front and rear to create a visual effect of a suspended roof.
The body size of the Fenglanda is 4485x1825x1620mm, and the wheelbase is 2640mm, which is the larger size in its class.
Top-mounted models and sub-top models are equipped with a 360° panoramic image function, and the top-mounted models are also equipped with a rear parking radar, which is still a slight regret for this configuration, if you can, the entry-level configuration should also be equipped.
The wheel shape also continued the Tomahawk design of the Japanese version, using Bridgestone's sport-oriented tires, measuring 215/60 R17. Oh yes, the sub-top can be equipped with 18-inch wheels, but the top is still 17 inches.
The rear design is very simple, and it is more stable than the front face, the tail light size is very large, and the LED + halogen light source is used. The bumper is colored in black, which raises the visual effect of the rear of the car and also reduces the replacement cost.
In general, although the appearance design of Fenglanda is not so individual and prominent, but for everyday family cars, such "moderation" is really needed, and for young consumers, Fenglanda also gives the corresponding details of the design, such as the net and the roof, in the author's opinion, this car is still grown on most of the consumer aesthetics.
The classic three-spoke steering wheel, the outer ring is wrapped in a layer of leather material, the feel is solid enough, and the multi-function button size is very large, which is very convenient to operate when driving. The multi-function buttons are for the driving computer and telephone control on the left, and the adaptive cruise system and multimedia control on the right.
The central control screen size is 9 inches, built-in Toyota's latest car machine system, support voice control, online navigation, third-party software download and other functions, while the middle and low-end models are equipped with 8-inch displays, although they do not support the Internet of Vehicles function, but support Apple CarPlay and Android Carlife.
In terms of power interface, the front row is only equipped with 1 USB interface, if you want to charge the mobile phones of the two passengers in the front row, you also need to buy an adapter at your own expense, and the rear row is equipped with two Typc-C interfaces.
Space: Plenty of head space
The top seats are made of imitation leather, and the main driver's seat supports an electrically adjustable angle. The padding is very thick, and there is a certain wrapping on both sides of the waist, so the ride comfort is OK. The second row, although equipped with a central headrest, is not equipped with a central armrest.
Passengers at 175cm tall sit in the front row, place the seat to the lowest, punch and two fingers in the headroom, have a good front view, and the steering wheel also supports four-way adjustment.
In the case of the front seat position is unchanged, sit in the rear row, the remaining space of the leg is a punch and three fingers, the remaining space of the head is a punch and two fingers, although the legs are somewhat cramped, but the head space is relatively spacious, and the seat cushion can better support the legs, so the comfort is also reasonable. The rear seat backrest also supports 6° angle adjustment.
The trunk volume is 438 liters, the second row of seat backs support four or six proportional reclining, the maximum volume after the fall is 1395 liters, but the second row of seats after being reclined and the trunk floor have some height differences.
