Appearance comparison:
Among the same level of models, Guandao has an excellent sense of luxury and refinement, so it is very suitable for consumers who value appearance. Specifically, the front face of the crown road adopts a banner-type air intake grille, and the newly designed inverted trapezoidal lower grille is matched with a new fog lamp, supplemented by a chrome decoration, and the visual effect is indeed very delicate. The LED headlights on both sides have an excellent sense of technology, and the interior is equipped with streamer turn signals, which is believed to be more popular with young consumers.
In the market segment, Guandao has always had the praise of "large five-seat SUV", because its body size is really outstanding, it looks very domineering, the body size is 4858/1942/1675mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2820mm. The side design of the crown road has a certain slipback shape, the overall look is very sporty, and the tail adopts a new bilateral four-out exhaust layout, which is rare in the same level, and also makes the already sporty rear of the car more sporty, which belongs to the finishing touch of the tail.
Highlander, which has undergone a generational upgrade, has a new change in styling, this time Highlander adopts the design concept of "power gentleman", and the vehicle modeling pays more attention to the sense of line, especially the waistline design is no longer the traditional straight shape, it looks like excellent sportiness.
Thanks to the use of TNGA-K platform under the TNGA architecture, Highlander has a comprehensive increase in body size compared with the past, with a length of nearly 5 meters to 4965mm, and the wheelbase has also increased by 60mm to 2850mm, which has reached the standard of medium and large SUVs from the perspective of size.
Obviously, although the two models belong to the same level, but the styles are very different, the crown road is obviously more exquisite and fashionable, while the Highlander is more sporty and personality, and the excellent body size also brings them a strong appearance momentum, suitable for consumers with different preferences.
Interior comparison:
In terms of interior, the symmetrical center console of the crown road makes the already spacious interior more transparent, and more attention is paid to the materials and configuration, so the interior has a better sense of grade. The leather materials at the seats and door panels are very advanced and delicate, the visual effects are also very shiny, the control knobs on the center console add metal elements, and the overall design is not inferior to luxury brand models.
In addition, Guandao is also not stingy in the technology configuration, the central control screen built into the latest Honda CONNECT intelligent guide interconnection system, support maps, music and other conventional functions, you can also use voice to control. The HUD head-up display function can make the driver more intuitively check the driving status of the vehicle, which greatly promotes driving safety, and the wireless mobile phone charging function provides many conveniences for daily charging.
The Highlander interior is further upgraded on the basis of retaining practicality, using more advanced decorative materials and more refined assembly processes, effectively increasing the luxury of the interior, and increasing the wheelbase of 60mm also brings more excellent interior space performance.
In terms of intelligent technology, Highlander also takes the opportunity of this replacement to make up for the shortcomings, such as equipped with a new 12.3-inch central control screen and a new car machine system to achieve voice control vehicle functions, in addition to the addition of Fengyun Yuexiang Zhixing interconnection function, which can realize remote control of mobile APP. And Highlander is also equipped with a HUD head-up display, which can achieve three-screen linkage with the dashboard and the central control screen, allowing drivers to concentrate more on driving.
Thanks to the excellent body size, both the Guandao and the Highlander have excellent spatial performance, but the two models have very different approaches. Among them, Guandao mainly has five large seats, passengers over 180 in height can also be paralyzed, and there is also a multimedia control area in the central armrest of the rear row, all of which highlight Guandao's emphasis on luxury experience.
The Highlander is the main 7-seat layout, which is obviously more dominant in the number of passengers, suitable for multi-family choices, and the upgraded wheelbase brings excellent spatial performance, so even if the layout of three rows of seats, the riding comfort is still guaranteed.
Power Comparison:
For these two "big" models, the power configuration is certainly very important, and the Guandao is equipped with 1.5T and 2.0T engines, which match the CVT and 9AT gearboxes respectively, of which the 2.0T engine has a very good power performance, its high power is 200kW, and the peak torque is 370N·m, such data is far ahead for most 2.0T engines on the market, so the power performance is sufficient and the posture is very robust when driving.
In addition, Guandao is equipped with Honda's black technology, the Honda SENSING Safety Super Sense System, which integrates a number of driver assistance technologies such as CMBS collision mitigation braking system and RDM lane offset suppression system to make the driving experience more comfortable and safe.
After the change of Highlander, the whole series is equipped with the fourth generation of enhanced version of the THS II dual-engine system, which is composed of a 2.5L engine and an E-CVT transmission, with a comprehensive power of 183kW, and some versions are also equipped with an E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive system, and the rear wheel is driven by an independent motor, which is more sensitive and smooth in acceleration response.
Of course, Highlander also has the blessing of Toyota driver assistance system, which is the latest generation of TSS smart travel safety, including PCS pre-collision safety system, DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system and other functions, bringing more convenience and security to drivers.
