Some time ago, there was an article about FAW Toyota to introduce Toyota GRANVIA, which is known as a large sea lion, and at that time, the professor himself also questioned this, Yifeng did not have the real sense to introduce it, but simply wanted to use its name to launch Toyota Syna's sister model, continuing the fine tradition of the two-car strategy.
Recently, according to the latest batch of information given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to confirm the professor's conjecture, FAW Toyota launched a new MPV model, the appearance design is highly consistent with the Toyota Xena, but the details will be different, and the body size will be slightly larger.
FAW Toyota GRANVIA, as a sister model of Toyota Syna, basically maintains a high degree of consistency in appearance, mainly in the details of the processing to make a distinction, FAW Toyota's GRANVIA as a whole will appear more sporty.

For example, the front face of the new car is also designed with a large area of grille and sharp and slender headlights, but the difference is that FAW Toyota's GRANVIA front surround is a large-area blackened grille design, while Toyota Xena uses a thick horizontal strip chrome net, the former sports atmosphere will be more intense, the latter business image will be thicker.
Similarly to the tail, in addition to the logo at the tail replaced by the word "GRANVIA", the rear encirclement of FAW Toyota GRANVIA adopts a honeycomb rear bracketing design, while the Toyota Xena adopts a relatively smooth and simple rear bracketing design, which can be seen that the difference in appearance between the two is basically front and rear encirclement.
According to the information given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the length, width and height of FAW Toyota GRANDVIA are 5175 * 1995 * 1785 (1765) mm, and the wheelbase is 3060 mm. In contrast, the length of the FAW Toyota GRANVIA body has increased, and it is estimated that there are small differences in the kits, and it is not expected that there will be much difference in space as a whole.
In terms of configuration, the new car will have optional optional front/rear camera styles, rearview mirror styles, top luggage rack styles, roof styles, antenna styles, wheel hub styles (18/20 inches), front/rear combination lights, side sign light styles, under-door decorative strip styles, rear bumper styles, rain sensors, head-up display devices and so on.

In terms of interior, at present, FAW Toyota Granvia interior has not revealed more relevant information for the time being, although, with reference to Toyota's current sister models, the basic frame of the two interiors is the same height, mainly in the color collocation and material will be different. It can be inferred that the interior design of FAW Toyota's GRANVIA will also be basically the same as that of Toyota Syna.
In terms of power, according to the information given by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, FAW Toyota GRANVIA will be equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine codenamed A25H, with a maximum power of 141kW.
The difference is that the Toyota Saina is equipped with a starter code-named A25D, although the power is the same. It is reported that the engine code-nameD A25H is a domestic machine, while the engine code-named A25D by Toyota Xena is an imported machine.

But it is understood that in fact, in addition to the tail number of A / B engine is the whole machine import, the rest of the tail number of CDFGH machine are in the form of SKD or CKD into the country, is a certain difference, but the essential difference is not too big, it is estimated that there are some parts of the localization rate of the difference, everyone rationally look at this kind of thing.
In fact, on the other hand, this will be a better result, on the one hand, it can reduce costs, on the other hand, it can flexibly make appropriate adjustments to the needs of national conditions, and the fault tolerance rate will be higher.
The arrival of FAW Toyota GRANDVIA has broken the situation of Toyota Xena's "one big family", and has a younger sports kit in terms of styling design, which can attract many young consumers. Secondly, in order to get more competitive advantages, FAW Toyota's GRANVIA may be slightly lower than Toyota's in terms of pricing, and it will be more abundant at the configuration level.
