When I just graduated from college two years ago, my parents decided to buy me a car in order to facilitate my commuting trip, and the car purchase budget was kept within 300,000, at that time, because I liked the SUV model, I bought a Mercedes-Benz GLA, and the full model landed nearly 280,000. However, with the birth of the baby at home, the space performance of Mercedes-Benz GLA is difficult to meet daily needs, so there is also the idea of changing cars. It just so happened that some time ago I drove a friend's GAC Toyota Wesa, to be honest, the first feeling for me is that the gap is not small, whether it is driving texture or space performance, it is better than my Mercedes-Benz GLA. Let's talk to you about my feelings about my test drive of GAC Toyota Weisa.
First of all, in terms of appearance, don't look at the GLA is a product of Mercedes-Benz, but as a 2019 model, there is nothing new in the design style, while the styling design of GAC Toyota Wesa makes me have a bright feeling. Friends who know about GAC Toyota Weisa know that minimalism as the main theme of its own design, which in the three-dimensional style of the body shape, sharp and slender headlight combination and through-one taillight combination, to create a strong avant-garde science fiction atmosphere, compared to my Mercedes-Benz GLA more aura, but also in line with the GAC Toyota Weisa positioning luxury intermediate SUV identity.
In terms of body size, GAC Toyota Wesa's length, width and height are 4780/1855/1660mm, and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which is the mainstream size data of intermediate SUVs, which can undoubtedly better ensure the internal riding space. To be honest, this is also one of the main reasons why GAC Toyota Wesa let me plant grass for it compared to Mercedes-Benz GLA. I am 178cm tall, sitting in the back row of GAC Toyota Weisa, the legs and head are very spacious, while the rear seats also support backrest adjustment, coupled with soft texture cushions, riding space or ride comfort, it is really not comparable to Mercedes-Benz GLA.
Many netizens say that the interior of Mercedes-Benz is luxurious, but my 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA is an alternative, pure black interior color and large area of hard plastic are filled with it, and the overall texture performance is very general. Looking at my friend's GAC Toyota Wesa, I think it really explains what is called light luxury. The saddle-style center console layout, surrounded by large areas of leather material, and the application of exquisite piping and stitching processes make the texture and actual touch reach an impeccable level. In addition, the addition of humanized intelligence into the lighting system is also better than my Mercedes-Benz GLA car experience.
As the owner of Mercedes-Benz GLA, the low configuration has always been the place where I complained, no matter how to say that the landing is nearly 280,000, reversing images and keyless access to these basic practical configurations have to add money to choose, it is really impossible to say, and GAC Toyota Wesa has completely achieved the suspension of Mercedes-Benz GLA in terms of configuration. Leaving aside the basic safety and practical configuration, GAC Toyota Wesa is also equipped with intelligent technology configurations including JBL luxury audio, quasi-L2 level automatic driving assistance, face recognition, mobile payment and wireless charging of mobile phones. And the application of support for three-screen linkage and the latest NANOE-X negative ion generator can be described as a further deepening of its status as a luxury mid-level SUV.
Hardware part, friends this GAC Toyota Wesa is a 2.5L engine + motor dual engine version, the system comprehensive power reached 160kW, matching the E-CVT gearbox. In fact, the most intuitive difference between GAC Toyota Wesa and Mercedes-Benz GLA built based on the TNGA architecture is that the power output performance and handling are better, and the fuel economy is far superior to mercedes-Benz GLA. NEDC's comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.5L/100km, and in all fairness, in the face of the current situation of rising oil prices, GAC Toyota Wesa's late car maintenance car cost is more dominant.
Other places worth mentioning are that GAC Toyota Wesa uses a new shock absorber and double-layer noise reduction glass, which well ensures the driving texture of the whole vehicle, even when encountering potholes or high-speed driving, GAC Toyota Wesa's shock absorption filtering and sound insulation and noise reduction performance are also very commendable, so on the driving texture, Mercedes-Benz GLA is really not the opponent of GAC Toyota Wesa.
On the whole, after a one-day test drive on GAC Toyota Wesa, its avant-garde sci-fi exterior design, luxurious interior, comprehensive and rich configuration performance, excellent driving texture and excellent fuel economy have become the places that impressed me the most, and also let me see the gap between Mercedes-Benz GLA and GAC Toyota Wesa, and also strengthened my idea of starting with GAC Toyota Wesa. Personally, I feel that GAC Toyota Wesa has excellent product strength support, and with the further deepening of the market, it is bound to win more and more consumer recognition, of course, including me!
