With the upgrading of consumption levels, consumers' pursuit of vehicle quality has also been continuously improved. In order to meet this demand of users, GAC Toyota brought this new SUV product - Weisa, its positioning is between Willanda and Highlander, the official guidance price is 21.68-30.38 million yuan, which model is more worth buying? Let's analyze it today.
Based on the TNGA architecture, Weisa is positioned between Veranda and Highlander, the overall style of the appearance is dynamic and atmospheric, the body lines are very sharp, and it has a bit of "Lexus" charm. The front face is aggressive, the lines on the bonnet are tightened inwards, and the lower grille is in a honeycomb style for a sporty feel.
The side styling is different from the mainstream SUV products, the smooth roof line extends all the way to the rear, the slipback design is charming, and the visual is more elegant. In terms of body size, Wessa is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a length, width and height of 4780/1855/1660mm and a wheelbase of 2690mm.
The rich tail line emphasizes the sense of layering, the tail contour is full and powerful, and the through-LED taillights make the whole vehicle look wider and more domineering visually. Chrome trim is used on the rear surround, and the exhaust is a genuine bilateral double-out layout, which is sufficient in momentum.
The interior cockpit has a more luxurious feel, and there is a significant improvement in interior design compared to previous Toyota products. The centre console is covered with a large leather wrap, with delicate stitching, and is accented with black piano lacquer panels and metal trim panels, which are more elaborate in the workmanship. In addition, three interior colors are available in black, black/gray, black/brown to meet the preferences of different consumers.
The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel is excellent in display and provides a wealth of vehicle information. The 12.3-inch touch center display is excellent, and the sense of refinement is better. The interface UI adopts a new design, the style is simple, and it looks very refreshing. In terms of functions, it supports speech recognition, navigation, facial recognition, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrades, and car-home interconnection, which is comprehensive enough.
The first panoramic dimming canopy in the same level is a highlight on Weisa, with a dimming mode, which can realize two kinds of skylight glass effects of transparency and atomization, presenting a stronger sense of luxury.
In terms of power, the fuel version will be equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 171 horsepower and a peak torque of 209 Nm, matched with a CVT transmission and available with two-wheel drive/four-wheel drive options, and the official 100-kilometer comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.9L (two-wheel drive)/6.5L (four-wheel drive).
The Dual Engine Edition will be equipped with a hybrid system consisting of a 2.5L engine + electric motor, in which the maximum power of the engine is 178 hp and the maximum torque is 221 Nm, which is matched by the E-CVT gearbox. In addition, the dual-engine version of the model also provides two-wheel drive / four-wheel drive optional, the official 100-kilometer comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.5L (two-wheel drive) / 5.0L (four-wheel drive).
Which one is recommended?
There are 6 models in the whole series of Weisa, including 3 fuel version and dual engine version, which can be divided into three different levels of deluxe version, premium version and supreme version according to the configuration level, and it is not difficult for consumers to choose.
As an entry-level model, the two-wheel drive deluxe version has a remarkable performance in configuration. 18-inch rims, LED headlights (reflective array), leather steering wheel, regular-size sunroof (not openable), keyless start/entry, leather seat, 8-way electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, 8-inch central control screen, etc. are all equipped, and the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 smart travel safety system is standard, and safety can be guaranteed. From the perspective of practicality, the configuration performance of the entry-level model is still good, which is more suitable for consumers with tight budgets.
Compared with the two-wheel drive deluxe version, the two-wheel drive premium version has added 19-inch rims, LED headlights (lens type), front/rear parking radar, electric trunk (support induction opening and memory function), leather seats, main driver's seat waist support adjustment (2-way), passenger seat electric adjustment, front seat heating/ventilation, 12.3-inch central control screen (support navigation, car networking, voice recognition, etc.), JBL audio and other configurations, and the configuration level has been raised to a higher level. In terms of price, the two-wheel drive premium version is only 18,000 yuan more expensive than the two-wheel drive deluxe version, which is more worth recommending and buying.
On the basis of the two-wheel drive Premium Edition, the 4WD Extreme Edition adds parallel assist, 360-degree panoramic image, steering wheel heating, 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, HUD head-up display, wireless charging of front mobile phones, driver's seat memory, front soundproof glass, panoramic sunroof (support dimming mode), car air purifier and other configurations. As a top-of-the-line model, its configuration performance is naturally more comprehensive, and it is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system. If you have a good budget and have high requirements for configuration, it is not impossible to buy the top match directly in one step.
Recommended models:
2.0L CVT 2WD Premium Edition / Dual Engine 2.5L CVT 2WD Premium Edition I think is the best choice. The price performance is moderate, the overall configuration is rich enough, and the performance in the comfort configuration is not ambiguous.
Front seat heating /ventilation, main / passenger seat electric adjustment and other configurations are available, considering that the difference between the four-wheel drive extreme version and the two-wheel drive premium version is more than 30,000 yuan, if you do not have a strong demand for the four-wheel drive system when buying a car, I think it is enough to choose the premium version.
Write at the end:
The arrival of Weisa has enriched GAC Toyota's SUV product line, and compared with toyota's SUV products in the past, it has made significant progress in exterior design, interior cockpit and other aspects.
The same is true in the configuration, the whole series comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 smart travel safety system, keyless start/entry, leather steering wheel, LED headlights, main seat electric adjustment and many other configurations, even if you buy an entry-level model, you can also show a good sense of grade. For consumers who want to pursue the quality of their cars, there is another choice.
