For a long time in the past, GAC Highlander (picture | configuration | inquiry) seems to have been the only choice in the domestic joint venture brand big 7-seat SUV market, but in recent years, with more and more competitors of the same level or higher level entering, Highlander's situation has become very delicate, which can be called "before the wolf and then the tiger". If you want to continue to maintain its market leadership, you must use a big move to meet the rotation of these new and old opponents. "My eyes are red!" In the blink of an eye, the car fell to 258,000 in the blink of an eye, startling The Crown Road Ang Wow Wow. ”

GAC Toyota Highlander's overall interior design sense is actually quite good, the multi-functional steering wheel feels comfortable, the instrument interface is relatively simple and easy to understand, the suspended central control screen is not large, the UI design is slightly outdated, but fortunately there are very practical physical buttons below, and it is very convenient to integrate the functions with high frequency of use on the physical buttons.
The most eye-catching thing on the side is the flowing waistline of the body, waving backwards and upwards from the front door, as if it were a streamer attached to the rear, which makes the side of this huge 7-seat SUV very agile, without the slightly bloated feeling of the previous generation side. In addition, thanks to the TNGA architecture, the size of the new car has also been slightly improved, with a length, width and height of 4965/1930/1750 mm, and a wheelbase of 2850 mm.
As for safety, the new car is equipped with Toyota's next-generation Intelligent Travel Safety System (TSS), including pre-collision safety system, dynamic radar cruise control, lane following assistance system and automatic high beam lights. In addition, the four-wheel drive system is also equipped with a one-button escape function, but the slot point is that the clarity of this panoramic reversing image and the size of the picture display still need to be optimized, after all, as a medium-sized SUV, novice friends still rely on it when parking.
Powered by a 2.0T four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350N·m, it is matched with a 6AT gearbox with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 8.9L/100km.
