If the family is crowded and want to buy a car that can travel with the whole family, the seven-seat SUV is actually not the first choice, but a seven-seat MPV such as GL8 and Odyssey, because this can make the whole family quite comfortable. In fact, at a price of about 200,000, there is also a joint venture MPV worth considering, which is Jiangling Ford Toureo. Today, the author will take you to understand this car.
Built by Jiangling Ford, Toruio is positioned as a medium-sized MPV, and there are currently 5 configurations on sale, with a price range of 186,900-27.58 million yuan. As a joint venture model, the price of Toureo is quite sincere, and today's protagonist is the "cai version" in the car series - the 2020 2.0T manual elite version of Tourrino (hereinafter referred to as: Toruio).
In the exterior part, the overall shape of Torreo, like most MPV, is more "stocky". In the front part of the car, Toruio used a two-stage intake grille and used multi-spoke transverse chrome trim strips to embellish it, making it look more delicate. In the lighting part, this Tourrino is only equipped with a halogen light source of near and far lights, fortunately, the addition of the lens structure makes it not too "embarrassing".
In the side part, Toruio uses a more boxy structural design, and the advantage of this is to ensure the space in the car as much as possible; the length, width and height of The Toureo are 4976/2095/1990mm, the wheelbase is 2933mm, a relatively wide size level, the side windows are also painted in black; the wheel part, The wheel part, The wheel diameter of the Toruio is 16 inches, and the tire width is 215mm.
From the rear alone, the rear of the Tourrino is like a small bus, very square. Although the vertical left and right tail lights are small in size, they are equipped with turn signals, reversing lights, and brake lights. The through-through silver chrome trim adds to a certain degree of fashion in the car.
Toureo's central control layout is more personalized, but in the end it still uses a symmetrical design, such as air conditioning air outlets, cup holders on the left and right sides, etc., turreo is equipped with a 7-inch touch LCD central control screen, providing navigation, Bluetooth, multimedia systems, etc., but the actual measurement experience is smooth, and there is no voice control, and long-distance driving requires a co-driver to operate alone.
In terms of configuration, Toruio only has the main passenger seat airbag, as well as conventional tire pressure alarm, ESP, ABS and other basic safety configurations. But its four-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in leather and paired with a set of imitation leather seats, which feels good to the touch. In addition, Tourao is equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning with independent air conditioning in the rear, which is a rare configuration in the same price range.
In the seat part, Torio adopts a "2+2+3" seven-seat layout, the second row is a separate layout, equipped with armrests, and the seat cushions are relatively thick, and the comfort is not bad.
The third row of seats of Turreo also adopts an independent layout, and the cushions of each seat are also relatively wide, coupled with a relatively wide seating space, which can bring a good riding experience to the passengers.
The protruding part of the interior of The Tourrino's trunk, which protrudes from the left, is the individual air conditioning system. Although this encroached on the trunk space, its conventional volume also reached 1360 liters. In addition, the third row of seats of the Tourrino can not only be reclined and rolled forward, but can also be removed directly when large items need to be loaded, resulting in more carrying space.
In the power part, Torre one is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 149 kW and a maximum torque of 300 N·m, which is matched by a 5-speed manual transmission. As for fuel consumption, Torreo's NEDC has a combined fuel consumption of 9.4L/100km, but combined with its 2234 kg weight, this fuel consumption performance is also beyond reproach.
In the chassis part, the Toruio front axle uses McPherson independent suspension, and the rear axle uses longitudinal arm twist beam non-independent suspension, which is a more "alternative" existence in the MPV model. However, Touro is equipped with an adjustable soft and hard air suspension that can further improve the driving quality of the vehicle.
Overall, as a joint venture large seven-seat MPV, the price of Torio is still quite honest, but the manual elite version of the model introduced today still has some shortcomings. For example, the performance of the intelligent network connection part needs to be improved, and for example, the auxiliary/control configuration is also relatively "weak". Of course, if you are not used to manual transmission, you can choose a medium and high-end model equipped with an AT transmission, and their configuration is also better.
