Toyota models have always been known for their durable leather and few shortcomings. In China, a car market that pays more attention to space and practicality, SUV models will be the choice of many domestic consumers. If your car purchase budget falls below the mainstream 100,000-150,000 level, and you like Toyota's car quality, in the past you could only choose the C-HR entry-level version of the SUV.
And now, everyone has a new option that emphasizes practicality - Fenglanda. There are many reasons to choose it as a family model.
More "Toyota"
There is no doubt that the C-HR is a small SUV that looks good, but due to the fact that the target consumer group of the model is more young, the design ratio is more dominant. The Fenglanda model we test drove this time is obviously more "Toyota", more emphasis on the practicality of the model, and more in line with the image of Toyota SUV in everyone's mind.
From the appearance, it can be seen that the new Fenglanda adopts the Toyota family-style Urban Active design language, and a decoration similar to a vent is set above the front logo, which not only stretches the visual width of the front of the car, but also creates a certain wildness for the front.
The lower grille is covered with matte gray trim strips, and the interior and front lip position are hemmed with black components, which distinguishes it from the car and reduces the maintenance cost of scraping.
In terms of headlights, Fenglanda uses matrix LED daytime running lights, whether it is day or night, it has a good recognition.
Coming to the side of the body, Fenglanda's "Toyota flavor" played more vividly. The body size of Fenglanda is 4485*1825*1620mm, and the wheelbase is 2640mm. Black eyebrows and skirts, with more emphasis on practicality. Although the body side does not use too many design elements to emphasize the sense of design, the straight body window line and simple body design not only make the interior of the car have a better sense of openness, but also make the body side more attractive.
The rear of the car still continues the simple design of the whole vehicle, and everything is mainly practical and functional. Because Fenglanda is more of a household attribute in terms of product positioning, hidden exhaust is also reasonable.
Overall, the design of Toyota Fenglanda is more in line with the expectations of the Chinese people for the design of Toyota vehicles.
More practical
Entering the interior of the carriage, even if it blocks the brand LOGO of the steering wheel, I believe that netizens who are familiar with Toyota's design will certainly be able to recognize its identity from the Toyota brand at a glance. Although the Fenglanda is Toyota's entry-level SUV, it has been constrained in terms of car construction costs. But Toyota is still on the front Landa, grasping the balance point.
In terms of touch, Fenglanda uses a soft wrapping of leather + stitching in the door panel, on both sides of the central control and other positions that are usually easily accessible.
Visually, in addition to leather + stitching, chrome, matte gray decorative strips to create a sense of luxury, the piano black panel and the suspension of the central control screen, but also to the carriage to bring a certain sense of science and technology, the physical buttons in the car are also greatly reduced.
In terms of intelligent configuration, the car machine system integrates common functions such as navigation, Bluetooth, and voice recognition system, and the car machine system also supports OTA online upgrades.
For the driver, Feng Landa is also powerful. Auxiliary features such as long-distance artifact L2 full-speed adaptive cruise, 360 panoramic image for convenient parking, and automatic parking for urban congestion can be seen on Fenglanda.
However, for Chinese consumers, comfort will be an important part. The version of the seat that the cylinder brother test drove this time uses a gray & white mix-and-match design, and the ergonomics of the seat is Toyota's consistent strength, which everyone does not need to worry about.
Coming to the back of the carriage, thanks to the TNGA-C platform, the central bulge of Fenglanda is not high, and it is not a problem to meet the full seats of the family. The rear independent air conditioning outlet valued in the southern region is also equipped. What is eye-catching is that although the entry price of Fenglanda is not high, it is rare to equip the rear row with two TYPE-C charging ports. In this regard, it is even necessary to surpass many self-owned brand models that are known as super cost-effective.
In terms of power, the fenglanda series is equipped with a powertrain of 2.0L engine + CVT stepless transmission as standard, with a maximum power of 171 horsepower and a peak torque of 205 Nm. In terms of power adjustment, it is still a typical Toyota tuning style.
The throttle is responsive and easy to keep up with the car in front of you in congested sections of the city. Although Feng Lanta did not use the Toyota Kanjia dual engine technology, but Toyota's fuel consumption, do you really need to worry?
In terms of steering and chassis texture, it is also in line with the characteristics of "easy to open". The more linear steering feel, male users will not feel too light, female users will not feel too heavy, both ends.
In terms of chassis, Fenglanda adopts the front McPherson rear torque beam method, and the suspension end emphasizes support, although it sacrifices the comfort of too large bumps, but combined with the steering feel and power response, it can be regarded as an SUV model with a good sense of driving control.
Write at the end
If you like the tonality of the Toyota brand, there is no doubt that Guangfeng Feng Lanta will be the choice of 100,000-150,000 yuan. From the appearance point of view, Fenglanda has a durable Toyota family-style appearance, the interior design and configuration of the carriage are also perfect, and there is no need to worry about space and power. To put it simply, Chinese consumers like Toyota's practical, affordable and other advantages, which will still be the strength of this Fenglanda.
