Under Toyota's continuous publicity and dedicated marketing, almost all customers who are ready or are hesitant to buy Toyota are now aware of Toyota's "TNGA". When the sales champion of the 4S store uses a loud voice to say the four words "T", "N", "G" and "A" in the sales speech, it is like reading out the "four-word mantra" that Toyota guarantees the core competitiveness of its products on sale, just like toyota instills good talent for the product before everything takes shape.
>>> balance comfort and movement requires tone correction, but also the excellent talent brought by the low center of gravity body
"TNGA" actually refers to Toyota's "TNGA architecture", a flexible and efficient automobile production mechanism founded by Toyota, which runs through the entire process from design to production. Toyota's design and production under this mechanism has changed the driving experience a lot compared to the past. For example, Toyota's flagship sedan produced in China, FAW Toyota Asia Dragon.
Toyota's TNGA architecture makes the Asian Dragon's handling feel no longer the "boring Toyota" of the past. In it, you'll find toyota's family cars driving more fun and more composed. Less body shake while on the go also improves ride comfort, especially when you're sitting in the back seat. Even better, the Asian Dragon's chassis also has excellent vibration filtering capabilities and does not become too stiff to reduce body shake.
Obviously, Toyota's low-center-of-gravity body designed with the TNGA architecture created an excellent talent for the Asian Dragon, which allowed the engineering team to not have to compromise handling for comfort when making late chassis tuning. With its innate low-center-of-gravity bodywork, the Asian Dragon's sway is always controlled to a small extent, whether it is through continuous sharp bends at low speed or through large curves at high speeds, even at full acceleration and emergency braking – engineers do not have to shorten the suspension stroke or over-increase the suspension hardness.
As a family sedan, the Asian Dragon strikes a good balance between comfort and sportiness. Toyota also built the Lexus ES on the same GA-K platform, which even has the same wheelbase and shares 60% of the components. The TNGA architecture allows all products on the same platform to have the general strength of luxury brand cars.
>>> lower vehicle costs, thanks to a design that starts with gasoline combustion
On the FAW Toyota Asia Dragon, Toyota's efficient powertrain is complemented by a body built with a new car-making concept. In addition to the 2.0-liter gasoline model, which reduces the fuel consumption to 5.8 liters per 100 km, there are also 2.5 liter gasoline models with a maximum power of 154 kW and a dual-engine hybrid model equipped with the new THS-II hybrid system.
The 2.5L engine developed under the TNGA architecture began to be redesigned from the most basic fuel combustion step. The technology used includes high-speed combustion and variable control systems, while improving thermal efficiency by reducing energy loss in various processes such as exhaust, cooling, mechanical operation, etc. In the end, as the core of the two sets of power, the thermal efficiency of the 2.5L gasoline engine in the Asian Dragon gasoline model and the dual engine model reached 40% and the industry's top 41%, respectively.
The 8-speed automatic manual transmission, which matches the 2.5-liter gasoline model, uses a newly developed torque converter and optimized clutch plates, and has a wider locking range, which makes it lose a full 50% less torque when transmitting power than the previous generation. This makes the acceleration process of the 2.5L gasoline model smooth and smooth, and the progressive power output of the self-priming engine and the smooth operation process of the transmission are impeccable, which is very suitable for the product positioning of the Asian Dragon Comfort. The Asian Dragon 2.5L petrol model also features the AVS adaptive variable suspension system. Depending on the road surface and driving conditions, the chassis further combines ride comfort with excellent handling. In sport S+ mode, AVS control mode also prioritizes body stability during intense driving, and the Asian Dragon, which has a smooth and comfortable driving experience on weekdays, can also provide drivers with excellent and controllable sports control.
The hybrid system of the Asian Dragon Twin Engine model adds an electric motor with a maximum power of 88 kW and a maximum torque of 202 Nm to the 2.5 liter gasoline engine. The gasoline engine adjusts the compression ratio and related parameters to suit the working conditions of the hybrid system, with maximum power and maximum torque of 131 kW and 221 Nm, respectively. An electronic continuously variable transmission is responsible for mixing and transmitting power. The hybrid system's battery was mounted just below the rear seat cushions, so the design team moved the tank down and adopted a new tank shape to keep the chassis flat. This design allows the interior space of the Asian Dragon twin engine model to be unimpressed compared with the gasoline model, and even the trunk volume is exactly the same as that of the gasoline model.
The measured data also reflects the power advantages brought by the new THS-II hybrid system to the Asian Dragon. Compared with the previous hybrid model, the model equipped with the new 2.5L hybrid engine can achieve maximum acceleration in about 1 second, which is 1/3 of the time spent on the old model; the E-CVT electronic continuously variable transmission has a highly sensitive intelligent shift control, accelerating 40-70 km/h halfway faster by 10% and reducing fuel consumption by 20%.
Fuel economy - For FAW Toyota Asia Dragon owners, Toyota's power technology provides abundant and smooth power at the same time, but also brings them extremely low vehicle costs, the asia dragon 2.5L gasoline model has a comprehensive fuel consumption of 6.2L/100km, while the dual-engine hybrid model is only 4.3L/100km.
>>> collection of great sensory experiences is luxury
FAW Toyota's use of advanced technology is also reflected in the combination with design. Originally developed for the North American market, the interior of this product was created by female designers. Women's attention to detail is reflected in many places. Soft materials are used wherever the interior is within reach; interior veneers include coated aluminium and solid wood trim, which are first-class in look and feel. For leather covering seats and door panels, the technology used for sewing involves a man-hour-consuming quilting process. The final effect is to make the Asian Dragon's riding space reflect more luxury.
Although it originated in North America, on the FAW Toyota Asia Dragon, we can also see many exclusive research and development results for the Chinese market, especially in the back row with higher utilization rates for Chinese customers. This includes user-friendly features such as panoramic sunroofs, power rear sunscreens, and power reclining seats. FAW Toyota has also specially increased the area of the rear reclining central armrest, and designed a more technologically convenient all-touch function button, which can directly control a series of luxurious equipment such as air conditioning, audio, seat position, seat heating and sun visor; the back of the central armrest box is also provided with a pair of USB interfaces for rear seats, which is more in line with the high demand of domestic customers for mobile electronic products.
During the development process, FAW Toyota also discussed and experimented countless times on the softness and hardness of the seat headrests, for example, the rear seat headrests of domestic models are thicker than the soft layer of the North American version of the model, and have a more comfortable riding experience.
The excellent passenger compartment serenity is also where the Toyota Asian Dragon is better than the North American version. Compared with the North American version, FAW Toyota Asia Dragon has 8 sound insulation and noise reduction process improvements, and the sound insulation treatment of the chassis and firewall is better than that of the North American version. In the sound-absorbing sound insulation equipment that fully surrounds the body, noise-reducing and shock-absorbing NVH materials include engine cover sound insulation mats, laminated soundproof glass at the doors, fire wall silencer mats, cockpit frame beam foam and shock absorbing materials, shock absorption coatings under the floor and other positions. The Chassis of the Asian Dragon was also thoroughly flattened and the use of large areas of the bezel reduced chassis noise at high speeds. According to FAW Toyota's evaluation, the Asian Dragon already has higher noise and vibration resistance than That of Magotan and LaCrosse.
>>> better active and passive security configurations that protect themselves and do not hinder others
The strength and torsional stiffness of the Toyota GOA body designed and produced by FAW Toyota Asia Dragon under the TNGA architecture have been greatly improved. Compared with the trade-offs between the comfortable or technological configurations in different levels of the car, FAW Toyota provides 10 SRS airbags and Toyota's top safety kit , the new Toyota Toyota Safety Sense "Toyota Collision Avoidance Assistance Kit" as standard. This safety package includes the PCS Pre-Collision Safety System, DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, LDA Lane Departure Warning System, and AHB Auto-Adjust high beam system.
In urban driving, The Asian Dragon will use the front millimeter wave radar and camera to detect pedestrians and vehicles in front, and when it is not displayed, the vehicle will assist the driver to prevent collisions or mitigate damage through alarms, brake assist and automatic braking functions, which is the PCS pre-collision safety system. The upgraded system also reacts to pedestrians and cyclists on the road.
At high speeds, the launch of the DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control helps reduce fatigue driving. The LDA Lane Departure Warning System also uses cameras to identify white and yellow lines in the driving lane, and when it detects a possible departure from the lane, it alerts the driver via buzzers and displays – like a dutiful co-pilot, driving safely in the event of a desertion or fatigue.
Asia Dragon's AHB auto-adjusting high beam system provides safety for itself and other vehicles on the road at night. Through the camera to detect the headlights of the opposite car and the tail lights of the front car, the system will automatically switch the high beam lights, while enabling the high beam to expand the lighting range, but also to reduce the impact of the dazzling high beam on the safety of other vehicles.
Whether you are a devout Toyota fan or a car-watching customer whose intention to buy a car is still wavering, you should know that the current Toyota family car is no longer the "family grocery shopping car" that only featured comfort and easy driving many years ago. By starting with the most basic production mechanism, Toyota has greatly changed the image of its products with a series of the latest technologies.
Driving pleasure, top safety, coupled with Toyota's efficient power technology, look at the flagship product FAW Toyota Asia Dragon can know that toyota, once comfortable, easy to drive, fuel-saving Toyota is still comfortable, easy to drive, fuel saving, and once far from the word "sports" Toyota family car can now confidently promote the pleasure of corner driving.
