Restless from Toyota? The RAV4 is designed for sport, but home use may be just right
Text/Su Jin Ji
Toyota's accumulation of experience in the young market in recent years has gradually made breakthrough developments, which are embodied in the design of its models. If put in the past, most of Toyota's models will give people a sense of moderation, although the emphasis on sportsmanship, but the real sports style is not particularly obvious.
However, with the replacement of many models, their appearance has changed more, and the design style is quite different from the previous one. From the current Toyota model design, it is obvious that the addition of sports elements can be clearly felt. This is also one of the proofs of Toyota's growth, but people's aesthetic methods are different, so even if the appearance of the model has been greatly changed, there will still be controversy.
RaV4 Rongfang is a hot model of Toyota, which has a more aggressive design effect than Toyota's SUV. The front grille of this model has a trapezoidal design, and the edges and corners will be more complex. The cobwebs have a honeycomb-like skeleton structure, but with a matte blackened coating that accentuates the chrome-coated trims with wider grille edges.
Its headlights are narrow and sharp, especially the inner corners and ends of the taillights have a sharp visual effect, and the edges are outlined with black lines. The sheet metal in the middle of the headlight train plug has obvious punching marks, and its edges and corners are very abrupt, adding a fierce atmosphere to the whole face, which is more bright in visual effects, but also more fierce.
This may be the definition of sport that Toyota understands, and it believes that such a model design is more attractive to young people, and some female drivers may praise the appearance of this model, but some male drivers may not necessarily think so. In addition to the front face, the overall structure of the model will create a hard style, and the body shape will look a little larger.
The interior of this model is generally more regular, but in terms of details, it does not look very symmetrical. For example, the middle display, its display suspension design is more dominant, but the screen is relatively thick from the side, there is no light effect. But it uses a smooth touch feel, and the display is responsive.
Since the model was born under the TNGA architecture platform, its intelligent assistance system has been improved, which has increased the lane keeping function and ACC assist, which will be more practical for users who often drive vehicles for long distances, especially in long-term high-speed road conditions, intelligent auxiliary driving system has become very necessary, because it can save users a lot of control, thereby retaining more attention on the road ahead.
In addition, RAV4 Rong has plenty of reservations in terms of space, especially the height space in the back row, even if it is more than 1 meter 85 in height, its head space will not feel depressed. Legroom and width space can be retained within the comfort range, and the space of the tail box is enough to place the items needed for daily travel, so its space can meet people's daily travel needs.
RAV4 Rongfang, in terms of power, the combination of 2.0L self-priming + CVT combination, which is the usual routine of the Toyota family, but the self-priming engine is often not as strong as the explosive force of turbocharging, and the torque that the CVT gearbox can withstand is not high, so the handling feeling and power response brought by this power combination belong to the smooth and stable type, and there is not much radical feeling.
summary:
RAV4 Rongfang this model is actually more suitable for users who often drive vehicles for long-distance travel, such as driving vehicles to neighboring cities for business trips from time to time, or like to drive vehicles to self-driving tours frequently, and its intelligent driving assistance system comes in handy. However, if it is often used in the city-wide commuting, the expressiveness of its intelligent assisted driving system can only be regarded as average, because there are fewer scenes in urban areas that use these functions. The model has a radical exterior design, but there is no sense of radicality in terms of power, but fortunately, the powertrain can bring good fuel economy.
