Is "choosing more" a good thing or a bad thing?
From the perspective of "no one is perfect, no car is finished", for the big thing of car purchase, this may not necessarily be a good thing. In a certain budget range, we have more and more choices, and the superposition of the four variables of brand, model, power and intelligence is extremely easy to stimulate the "choice difficulty".
Leaving aside new brands and models, even in the traditional car market, from fuel vehicles to hybrid cars, which model is the right choice to buy? At the very least, you can't be cut leeks, or you can't make this choice look "silly."
As the originator of automobile hybridization, Toyota is the global car sales champion, and what is more exaggerated is that Toyota's net profit in one year is "one Volkswagen", and it is not an easy task to save Toyota's wool.
Recently, we test-drove BYD's Tang DM-i, and also frequently saw advertisements for Toyota's first pure electric SUV bZ4X, and the first pure electric bZ sedan developed by Toyota and BYD will also be unveiled, which suddenly reminds us of GAC Toyota's first global new energy SUV - Veranda High Performance Edition.
Toyota's plug-in hybrid technology is upgraded from the "dual engine E+" of the oil-electric hybrid "dual engine", however, GAC Toyota has named the Veranda PHEV as the Veranda high-performance version, is this just a marketing statement? Of course, GAC Toyota is not too concerned about this car, and users can't see it, let alone experience the real charm of this Willanda high-performance version.
Global users know Toyota oil-electric hybrid technology, low fuel consumption is one of the biggest features, but the performance of the performance will also go to the market to buy vegetables; in addition, until today, there will be friends who doubt whether the oil-electric hybrid vehicle needs to be charged, and the Veranda high-performance version is to solve these problems.
From Yaris to Xena, almost all toyota models have hybrids, and the latter is only a hybrid to choose from. However, there are very few plug-in hybrid models with large batteries and enhanced motors, in addition to the two major global models of prius prime and RAV4 Prime, that is, the Corolla dual engine E+ exclusive to the Chinese market.
Toyota's biggest success in promoting gasoline-electric hybrid technology is to pull the price of hybrid models down to the same price as the same fuel vehicles, and achieve price equalization with less than 30% of the actual fuel consumption. The choice of more than 19 million users around the world is not something that can be fooled by green and environmental protection.
In today's full hybridization of independent car companies, the purchase of a hybrid car has become a realistic choice, so since you want to buy a gasoline-electric hybrid, why not buy a plug-in hybrid?
Let's take a look at the comparison between the Veranda dual engine (oil-electric hybrid) and the Veranda high-performance version (plug-in hybrid), and we may find that the latter is a "hidden" model of GAC Toyota.
First of all, to compare the price, the price range of the Veranda dual engine is 205,800 yuan - 243,800 yuan, while the price range of the Willanda high-performance version after subsidy is 258,800 yuan - 299,800 yuan, from the absolute value, the latter is much more expensive.
Let's not consider the beggar version and the cut leek version, just look at the Veranda double engine low-end, 228,800 luxury version and the Veranda high-performance version of the minimum match, 258,800 yuan of the power version, the "cost performance" collision between the two.
1. In cities outside the restricted licenses such as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the Velanda High Performance Edition can obtain free license indicators, that is, it can save between 20,000 yuan and 100,000 yuan in car indicator costs.
In addition, the Velanda High Performance Edition is exempt from purchase tax and vehicle and vessel tax (fuel vehicles pay every year). The "landing price" of the purchase of fuel vehicles, the price of the user to buy a Veranda Dual Engine Deluxe Edition should be 250,800 yuan.
2. 250,800 yuan of oil-electric hybrid compared to 258,800 yuan of plug-in hybrid, Veranda high-performance version is still 8,000 yuan more expensive, let's look at the difference in configuration.
Veranda Dual Engine Deluxe Edition has LED fog lights, 4.2-inch instrument screen, intelligent anti-pinch electric induction tailgate;
Velanda High Performance Jinqing Edition has a 7-inch instrument screen, 10-inch HUD head-up display, front and rear seats and steering wheel heating, CN95 air conditioning filter, voice interaction, 3 years of 4G traffic, OTA upgrade, remote fault diagnosis and so on.
In simple terms, the more than 8,000 yuan of the Velanda High Performance Edition has been spent too much.
The article writes here that the Veranda Dual Engine Deluxe Edition and the Willanda High Performance Elite Edition are already at the same price level.
Next, we will take you to see, "don't look at it, don't know, look at it and be shocked", Veranda High Performance Edition, the treasures that are hidden by GAC Toyota.
1. Compared with the two models, the maximum power and torque of the TNGA 2.5L engine are almost the same, but if you look at the THS electric drive system of the veranda high-performance version in detail, it is the same as the new Highlander and Xena, and even the maximum power is higher, which means that this is a set of over-the-top drive system, which is a more powerful power performance.
2. Velanda High Performance Edition provides 95 km NEDC pure electric cruising range, 100 km comprehensive fuel consumption of 1.1L, the longest cruising range of 1152 km, and also comes with the car charging pile.

This Velanda high-performance version is sold through online direct sales, and we can place orders and sign contracts in the GAC Toyota APP "Fengyun Xing", enjoy the transparent price and clear delivery time of direct sales, and no longer have to worry about price increases, installations and delayed delivery.
Finally, let's take a look: from the configuration point of view, GAC Toyota has pulled this Veranda high-performance version down to the same range as the Velanda dual engine, and the free license plate, low cost of the car, and high power and performance are free gift packages.
However, this treasure SUV is not in the hot push model of GAC Toyota, perhaps to exaggerate that this is selling a loss, so we are worried that we are buying too much?
Of course, for GAC Toyota, it is impossible to buy and sell at a loss, that is, to make less money, and this Velanda high-performance version is a way of direct sales, with great fanfare, is it not to rob the majority of 4S store dealers of their jobs?
