Taking a yacht, blowing the sea breeze, enjoying the sea view, and blending into the embrace of the sea, this is the charm of taking a yacht to the sea, and it is also the way of life that many people dream of.
We like light luxury yachts, more yearning for the comfortable life brought by yachts, facing the sea, relaxing physically and mentally. But the cost of playing on a yacht is not something that most people can afford. And when we are working hard for yacht life, it is also a good choice to use a high-end and comfortable model as a daily means of transportation, such as the GAC Toyota Wesa test drive by The Brother of The Dragon, the design of this car in terms of comfort, luxury, sports and other aspects is not in accordance with the conventional ideas, inside and out full of restless genes, suitable for you who are uneasy about the status quo.
Face value breaks the traditional design
Wesa can be said to be a model that reduces the dimension of the blow. You know, the gene in the bones of Weisa is a high-end SUV, its prototype car is Toyota HARRIER, the first and second generation HARRIER in overseas markets are Lexus RX replacement cars, and Weisa is the fourth generation of Toyota HARRIER products, the positioning has changed, but the luxurious and elegant genes engraved in the bones have not changed.
Weisa's styling design shows a good sense of exquisiteness, basically following the overseas version of Toyota HARRIER design elements, and Toyota HARRIER has won japan's highest design award GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2020 BEST100 works award honor.
For the appearance of Wei Sa, the first feeling of The Wheel brother is amazing, because in our traditional impression, the exterior design of GAC Toyota models basically takes a conservative route and will not be too radical. The Wei Sa shows a strong sense of sharpness, especially the front face, sharp double L-type LED front fog lights, rich body lines, making the front face full of aggression. The rear of the body is designed with a more stable and stylish through-type taillight design. More importantly, all the sports design elements are placed on Wei Sa without any sense of violation, and the lines are beautiful and full of power.
In the mid-size SUV camp, the appearance of Weisa is definitely outstanding, after all, the appearance of this level of models is basically more old-fashioned. Weisa boldly adopts the concept of youthful design, which can better meet the needs of contemporary consumer markets. For Wei Sa's appearance, it is not too much to say that it is the most beautiful mid-level car.
The interior design of the car also echoes the exquisite appearance, the interior of Weisa emphasizes the sense of high-end luxury, the test drive is the second top match (dual engine 2.5L CVT two-wheel drive premium version), the steering wheel, the shift lever, the armrest inside the door are covered with leather fabrics, while the dashboard, center console, armrest box, inner door panel adopts a large area of high-grade soft cover, the visual sense is high-grade, and the touch is delicate and comfortable. In addition, the center console of the ISSA is saddled and wrapped in thick leather.
The fly in the ointment is that the test drive interior is in a black style, the visual sense is not amazing enough, if the brown design is used, I believe that the sense of luxury is stronger. It is reported that the interior of Weisa has three colors to choose from: black, gray and brown. In addition, the test drive is not the highest version, so there is no panoramic sunroof. At present, only the Wesa Supreme Edition model is equipped with the only dimmable panoramic canopy of the joint venture brand and the world's first by Toyota. The canopy can switch between dimming mode and transmission mode in 1 second.
The smart configuration of the sub-top configuration has surprises
Of course, the high-end interior is indispensable to a wealth of intelligent configurations, and the 12.3-inch full LCD color TFT multi-function information display + 12.3-inch color central touch navigation display + HUD head-up display system equipped with Wesa can achieve three-screen linkage. The size of the dashboard of the same class model is basically 8 inches or 10.3 inches, the central control screen is about 10 inches, and there is no HUD head-up display system. In addition, Wesa also has streaming media rearview mirrors, smartphone wireless charging system, 360 ° panoramic image system and other configurations, so from the perspective of science and technology, Wesa is also stronger than the same level of models.
However, most of the advanced configurations only appear on the top model, and the sub-top model of the test drive is mainly equipped with a 12.3-inch color central control touch navigation display, JBL audio, and a reversing image system with dynamic guidance line.
It's a shame not to be able to experience all the smart features of the top-of-the-line version, but the 12.3-inch color central touch navigation display for test drive can bring small surprises. Generally speaking, the locomotive system of the joint venture car is not easy to use, and there are problems such as low recognition rate and few functions of the speech system. Weisa is equipped with the latest car-machine interconnection system, with a wealth of ecological service functions, of which the speech system recognition accuracy is very high, as long as you say "hello, Xiaoyue" after waking up, you can easily identify instructions such as navigation, playing music, adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, etc., and the convenience is very high.
Although the more advanced comfort and entertainment configuration only appears on the top version, the driver safety assistance configuration of Wesa is standard in the whole series, equipped with Toyota Safety Sense Safety, including PCS pre-collision safety system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, LTA lane tracking assistance system and AHB automatic adjustment high beam system, which can achieve quasi-L2 level automatic driving assistance functions. What's more important is that each function is really practical, such as when the L2 level automatic driving assistance system is turned on, the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle are smooth and always in the middle of the lane. Simply put, it is as smart as the intelligent driver assistance system of other models of GAC Toyota.
High-end luxury is calm and elegant
When it comes to the high-end feeling of Weisa, we have to mention the dynamic texture. The test drive is equipped with the new fourth-generation THS II Toyota Hybrid System. The TNGA 2.5L Dynamic Force engine is matched with a new generation of E-CVT electronic continuously variable speed transmission system, which is also used in other GAC Toyota models, and the overall performance is familiar and elegant enough.
The test drive is only in xiamen urban low-speed road driving, Weisa low-speed driving is very quiet, after all, the motor is driving the vehicle, and when starting and accelerating, the power output is also crisp and clean, you can feel the more abundant performance of the power system, but Weisa will not be too aggressive to perform strong power, stepping on the throttle will not have an abrupt sense of acceleration, more is smooth and gradual, only when you need stronger power, it will not disappoint you at any time. This is still the performance of the two-wheel drive version, if it is a four-wheel drive model, it is estimated that the starting and acceleration of The Willa is more agile.
The power performance of the test drive in different driving modes is more obvious, the power output in ECO mode is more flexible, the SPORT mode is the most agile, and the NORM mode is at the conventional level. Among them, the power performance of the SPORT mode is the most handy.
Of course, the power is not enough to lock the luxurious identity of Wei Sa, sound insulation and noise reduction and chassis texture is the highlight, when the vehicle is driving at low speed, the sound of the motor work is mainly heard in the car, and at a speed of 80km/h, the engine also has no obvious sense of existence, and the wind noise and road noise are isolated better. It should be said that the test drive only uses a single-layer glass design, if it is a top model, there is also double glass, it is estimated that the cabin tranquility of the top model is better than other versions.
The quiet cabin environment, with a comfortable chassis, is perfect. Weisa's chassis tuning pays attention to comfort, but it is different from the soft suspension design of the same level of medium-sized SUV, but retains a certain tenacity, the soft suspension setting is only reflected in the first half of the stroke, so it can effectively filter the small bumps of the manhole cover of the city road, when the suspension is compressed to the middle and rear section of the stroke, it shows a certain tenacity, so when it quickly passes the speed reduction belt or large pothole, there is obvious vibration in the car, but the advantage is that when cornering quickly, the body roll is small, which helps to improve driving comfort.
In addition, Weisa's chassis also has a good sense of heaviness, which has the taste of Lexus in this regard, and Brother Reel believes that there are two reasons, one is that the chassis is rich in materials, and the other is equipped with a hybrid system, which increases the weight of the chassis. It is reported that the ternary lithium-ion battery of the Weisa hybrid power system is also laid out under the rear seats, which can not only better distribute the weight in front of and behind the body, but also ensure a spacious seating space in the car.
GAC Toyota Wesa from the inside to the outside have shown a good sense of luxury and exquisiteness, this test drive of the dual engine 2.5L CVT two-wheel drive premium version of the model is only the second top match, if it is the top version, I believe the overall performance is more eye-catching. However, through this test drive, it can also be seen that the sub-top model has been able to meet the needs of most of the cars, the vehicle has a good driving texture, high practical configuration, and the appearance is amazing enough. It is reported that the main task of Weisa to enter the market is to lead GAC Toyota to impact the production and sales target of 1 million units, and from the perspective of the overall strength of Weisa, it is not difficult to obtain good results.
