Toyota has a good influence in the world, naturally including the mainland. Many people think that Toyota's new cars have excellent sales, but this is not the case. Toyota motor in last year launched an SUV, this SUV has a good sense of sport and sharpness, and Toyota spent a lot of money to build, but sales are very average, in January this year sales of only 1351 units, this model is Toyota Fenglanda. Today we went to the store to experience the Fenglanda from GAC Toyota.
Toyota Fenglanda can be called a relatively cheap compact SUV under Toyota, the price is really not high, the starting price of 125,800 yuan, how do you think the cost performance is? This is often the price range of many joint venture small SUVs, Fenglanda with a good price leapfrog advantage, why sales still can't come up? Let's take a look at it today.
From the appearance of the design, the overall shape of the Fenglanda and the RAV4 we saw have a lot of similarities, the whole front face of the exquisite sense is very good, it is not at all obvious that this is a low-priceD SUV. The intake mesh is connected by chrome trim, the internal structure is particularly clear, the far and near headlights, and the car logo is covered by plexiglass, whether it is texture or detail, or the portrayal of the sense of movement, it is very in place.
From the side, the sense of sportiness and fashion is also prominent. The two-color body structure makes this Feng Lanta look different, and some friends say that this is really a Toyota car? It's also too stylish. Moreover, it is equipped with alternating light and dark suspension wheels, slightly wild wheel arches, coupled with intermittent body waistline, the fashion sense is obvious.
As for the tail design of this model, it is also remarkable, especially the tail lights, which are bright and clear, and the light belt effect is relatively excellent. In the body data part, this Fenglanda is a compact SUV with a length, width and height of 4485/1825/1620mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm. Compared with the mainstream compact SUV, the length and wheelbase need to be strengthened, which may be the main problem for consumers not to recognize this Fenglanda.
Next, let's look at the interior design of this car, the interior of The FrontLanda basically continues the Toyota family design, but the sense of fashion is much better than that of the traditional Toyota car. The new car is still equipped with an eight-inch floating LCD screen, and the screen size is very thick, which is also one of toyota's most complained about designs. In addition, this Feng Lanta and Corolla or Leiling are actually more similar, the interior basically can not see too many physical buttons, everything is simple and practical, and the interior also has a penetrating chrome trim, the sense of detail is ideal. The new car is equipped with leather seats and leather steering wheels, but the mechanical gears are black and do not give people too much texture, and I do not understand why Toyota has not improved.
As for the seating space, I think it is more decent, because the wheelbase is placed here, so it is impossible to have too spacious a ride, but the seat filling is thicker, and the rear is also equipped with air conditioning outlets. Like many Toyota cars, the entry-level version of Fenglanda is not equipped with a rear air conditioner outlet, which makes the small partners who want to buy the entry-level model quite entangled.
The powertrain of this Fenglanda is quite powerful, equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 171 horsepower and a peak torque of 205N·m, which is matched by the CVT's stepless gearbox.
The throttle response of this SUV is more positive, there is no feeling of lack of power, and the driving experience in the city is more comfortable, but overtaking, climbing the hill needs to step on the throttle deeply, and the power will burst out immediately, and overtaking is easier.
The chassis design of this Fenglanda is more sporty, the feeling of opening up is very light, and the steering is effortless, coupled with the smooth chassis and the smoothness of the CVT, giving us more of a stable feeling.
