As the benchmark of the domestic intermediate SUV camp, Toyota Highlander is undoubtedly the key to its own recognition by consumers due to its stable quality, strong practicality and high retention rate. Today, in order to enhance its competitiveness, GAC Toyota has launched a luxury high-end model in the mid-level SUV camp, which is GAC Toyota Weisa.
Although it is the main luxury and high-end model, the price of GAC Toyota Wesa is very close to the people, and the sincerity of GAC Toyota can be seen from the official guidance price between 216,800 and 303,800 yuan. You know, in this price range, if you want to start a luxury SUV, it is nothing more than a compact SUV such as Mercedes-Benz GLA and Audi Q3L, and it is difficult to compete with GAC Toyota Weisa in terms of comprehensive product strength.
First of all, from the appearance of GAC Toyota Wesa, in the face of the current situation that young people have become the main force of automobile consumption, Wesa has shown high achievements in design and styling. Its front face uses a large number of sharp lines, the overall look is three-dimensional, can give people a strong visual impact. At the same time, Weisa also carried out blackening treatment, such as the air intake grille designed below, and the interior was matched with black honeycomb decoration, showing a good sense of aggression.
As for the body side, GAC Toyota Wesa has also achieved a combination of atmosphere and sports. As a mid-level SUV, the body length reached 4780mm, and the mainstream dimensional data of the same level obviously ensured the aura and grade of the whole vehicle. At the same time, the roof added a slip-on design, and the high-end version also adopted a delicate 19-inch multi-spoke aluminum alloy wheel, which became a design highlight that won the favor of consumers.
Looking at the rear, the full and thick body contour, the combination of taillights through the style and the exhaust layout of the bilateral double can even give us a visual sense of performance car, and the chrome decorative strip embedded in the lower surrounding part also ensures the sense of grade to a large extent, and the front face is echoed.
The reason why GAC Toyota Wesa has been recognized by many consumers since its listing is that in addition to being from Toyota's hand, brand awareness and recognition are not a problem, in fact, it is also inseparable from its own luxurious interior. In the impression of some friends, the price range of less than 300,000, the interior of the new Mercedes-Benz GLA is relatively luxurious, but to be honest, when we really experience the Mercedes-Benz GLA, we will find that it is more of a surface luxury, and the interior material based on hard plastic is the biggest subtraction. Looking at this GAC Toyota Wesa, it brings us a different feeling. The saddle-style central control layout makes it have the advantages of layering and practicality, and the large-area leather material wrapping and the piping and stitching process that enhance the texture make its luxurious feeling impeccable. Peace of mind and durability is the label of Toyota GM, and on this GAC Toyota Wesa, in addition to the conventional label, luxury is also synonymous with it.
In terms of configuration, GAC Toyota Wesa will also not let us pick out faults. Quasi-L2 level automatic driving assistance, full-featured Internet of Vehicles, while also supporting face recognition, mobile payment and other functions, as a symbol of technology and intelligent configuration, truly let car owners feel the convenience brought by technology. According to the test drive, the full LCD dashboard, the central control large screen and the HUD head-up display can achieve a three-screen linkage effect, ensuring our driving safety at the same time, the sense of science and technology has also been highlighted, which is what a luxury intermediate SUV should look like!
The hardware part, the whole series is divided into 2.0L fuel and 2.5L dual engine two kinds of powertrain, the common advantage of the two is that the quality is stable. Among them, the 2.5L dual engine version, the maximum comprehensive power of the system reaches 160kW (four-wheel drive version of 163kW), matching the E-CVT gearbox, which can bring us a strong power output, but also ensure the fuel economy, NEDC comprehensive fuel consumption is only 4.5L/100km (four-wheel drive version 5L/100km), which undoubtedly proves its own technical strength.
Of course, good power performance is only the premise and foundation, and the driving texture is the standard to measure whether a luxury mid-level SUV is excellent. Through my test drive of GAC Toyota Wesa, I can completely summarize its chassis tuning and sound insulation performance with the word excellent. After all, from the TNGA architecture, its chassis retains the advantages of this architecture, ensuring both body stability and ride comfort in aggressive driving situations. The application of double-layer noise-reducing glass makes the tranquility in the cabin not even inferior to that of some higher-level models. In addition, the manipulation of which to play is also the main reason why many consumers love it.
In general, a good luxury mid-level SUV will often do both inside and outside as much as possible, and it is clear that GAC Toyota Wesa has done it. From the exterior interior that is visible to the naked eye, to the configuration and hardware that guarantees the driving experience, it deserves the reputation of the benchmark for the new luxury mid-level SUV.
