Strictly speaking, Toyota Lingfang and RAV4 belong to the same platform models, the former is the latter's "PLUS" version of the pull, only in the length and height of the car and the wheelbase there are slight differences, the wheelbase is the same, the width is the same. In this way, although this car has increased the length and configuration, toyota Lingfang is almost 40,000 yuan more expensive than RAV4, is this 40,000 yuan worth, let's take a look at it together.
Exterior and interior
Lingfang has a big upgrade, but the RAV4 is also selling well
Toyota Lingfang's appearance is relatively rounded, if you cover its TOYOTA LOGO blind guess, most people may guess that it is a Lexus bar, especially the shape of the front face, giving people a "I am not Toyota" taste, more exquisite details, but also more of a mature and stable feeling; and the tail upward narrowing design is really too much like Lexus RX, even the muscle sense of the body line also has that taste, overall, toyota Lingfang's appearance should be more pleasing to mature consumers.
Coming to the interior, the interior design of this overhaul can be said to be the most eye-catching place of Toyota Lingfang, whether it feels like the previous generation of Lexus NX, especially the big screen, it can be said that it completely got rid of the title of "rear projection TV", and provided a very rare "sense of premium" on Toyota models, while the addition of soft materials and leather, but also let toyota Lingfang's interior add a lot of grades. In general, toyota lingfang's interior should be "grafted" to all other SUV models, so that no one says that other interiors are ugly.
Toyota RAV4 exterior design is biased towards youth, to personal aesthetics will be more inclined to toyota RAV4 design, especially the shape of the mouth has edges and angles, while the headlights also use polygonal structure, which makes Toyota RAV4 has a certain "wild" feeling, but unfortunately Toyota RAV4 is not a hard SUV, otherwise this "masculine" feeling will be more layered; the side and rear of the car Shape personally feel that toyota RAV4 is better looking, mainly because it is more square, The lines are very sharp rather than rounded, and this design is more pleasing to young people.
The interior can be said to be a deduction for Toyota RAV4, it is recommended to directly copy the interior of The Landing, and in the material toyota RAV4 can be said to be a comprehensive loss to the Landing, in short, the interior of the Toyota RAV4 is telling consumers "Want better?" Then add money to buy LingFang."
In general, Toyota Lingfang and Toyota RAV4 in the design is not a routine, young people will prefer RAV4, and some elderly consumers prefer Lingfang, but want both the design of RAV4 and the sense of luxury of Lingfang, is it stuck in a dead cycle?
Power and configuration
The power is exactly the same, and the configuration is very different
In terms of power, both vehicles are equipped with the same powertrain, which is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine plus CVT and a 2.5-liter hybrid system plus E-CVT, the former has a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 209 Nm, while the latter has a total power of 128 kW and a total torque of 323 Nm of the electric motor.
About this power system we are already familiar with can no longer be familiar with, in terms of smoothness can almost be said to be unbeatable, but also in the fuel economy has achieved excellent results, reliable quality, word of mouth, in addition to the sports performance is a little weaker, it can be said that there is no disadvantage, equipped with Toyota Lingfang and RAV4 is really suitable.
However, this power system does have a small flaw, that is, there will be a slight current sound when accelerating, which may be due to personal sensitivity, so it is particularly mindful, but as long as the music is turned on, it can almost completely block this sound, and overall it is still relatively satisfactory.
Next, let's talk about the configuration of the two cars, in this regard, toyota lingfang and RAV4 do have a big gap. In order to compare more intuitively, we have selected the top model of the two cars, that is, the Toyota Lingfang Dual Engine 2.5 four-wheel drive flagship version and the RAV4 2.5 four-wheel drive flagship version, the former priced at 297,800, the latter priced at 259,800 yuan, the difference is basically 40,000 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that, first of all, in terms of warranty, toyota Lingfang's warranty time is 4 years and 100,000 kilometers, while RAV4 is 3 years and 100,000 kilometers, and in terms of ordinary family cars, theoretically 4 years is less than 100,000 kilometers, which is equivalent to Toyota Lingfang's one-year warranty period, which feels a little valuable. The second is the size of the rim, toyota Lingfang uses a 225/55 R19 lap, while the RAV4 is a 225/60 R18 lap, the Tire Wall will be thinner, but it will also appear larger visually.
Safety configuration Toyota Lingfang more than the parallel assist and fatigue driving tips and reversing side assistance system, these three configurations are recommended to be directly added to the RAV4, in order to show that Toyota has sincerity in terms of safety; Toyota Lingfang's sunroof adopts a panoramic design but cannot be opened, RAV4 is the same panoramic design, but there is a beam in the middle that can be opened, I personally think that RAV4 is more "advanced" in this configuration; in terms of comfort configuration, Toyota Lingfang has more steering wheel heating, full LCD instruments, With a 12.3-inch central control instrument, full leather seats and seat ventilation, and a memory function for the driver's seat, it can be said that Ling Fang is indeed more able to enjoy life.
In addition to the above configurations, the most core configuration is the addition of JBL speakers and LED headlights, which are worth some money from a cost point of view, but these two configurations are not impossible to install later, but now Toyota original factory provides, in short, it is still slightly heartwarming.
For 40,000 yuan more than these configurations, will you choose Toyota Lingfang for these things?
Driving experience
Maybe your core is here
Speaking of driving experience, Toyota Lingfang can be much more "advanced" than RAV4, especially in sound insulation and noise reduction and chassis texture, it can be said that Toyota Lingfang has a "qualitative" leap compared to RAV4, but it must be admitted that after updating the TNGA architecture, RAV4 itself has a relatively large improvement in riding and driving experience, and on this basis, Toyota Lingfang has been further upgraded, especially in the isolation of road noise and wind noise, Toyota Lingfang has put a lot of thoughts here, If you are very dissatisfied with the sound insulation of the RAV4, then Toyota Lingfang may be able to provide you with a satisfactory answer.
Toyota Lingfang than RAV4 is an indisputable fact, the two are born out of the same "mold" is also an indisputable fact, and in the places that can be seen and can not see Toyota Lingfang compared to RAV4 have a greater improvement, of course, the appearance may be an exception, so this expensive money is worth buying Toyota Lingfang? It all depends on the attitude of life, if you want to be more comfortable and more comfortable, then choose Toyota Lingfang, and if it is only for transportation, and do not care about these details, then Toyota RAV4 can also fully meet the daily use.
