Which model do you remember most about Toyota's models? If you ask me, I will choose Highlander, after all, the domineering appearance and excellent power are fascinating, but Toyota also has a medium-sized SUV, which has reduced the popularity of Highlander at the beginning of the listing, and the current starting price of this car is 275,800 yuan, which is nearly twenty thousand yuan higher than Highlander's 258,800 yuan, and the sales volume is closely following Highlander, at the top of the sales list of medium-sized SUVs, where is the crown land? Why do you like it? How strong is its product?
From the appearance point of view, the crown land release basically copied the appearance of the American version of the Highlander XSE model, the large size grille has a strong sense of movement, the split LED headlights are all standard equipped with adaptive far and near light function, the black decorative strip has a certain sporty atmosphere, and the front face gives people a fuller visual feeling. The lines on the side of the body are relatively simple, there is not much embellishment, the visual effect is more slender, and the roof of the low-end model has no luggage rack, while the rest of the models are equipped with luggage racks as standard. On most models of the Crown Land, the exterior mirror does not support the electric folding function, only the top model and the sub-top model have it, but the heating function and electric adjustment function are all standard. Keyless entry and one-key start function, crown land release is standard, it is more convenient to get on and off. The rear of the car also uses split headlights, the shape is sharper than the old Highlander, the right side of the double exhaust port and the silver chrome decoration at the lower surround, so that the boxy tail with a certain sporty atmosphere, the overall visual feeling is more generous.
The layout of the interior has a certain sense of technology, in addition to the steering wheel material and the size of the central control screen, there is little difference between low-end and high-end models, and the material is also at the same level. The three low-end models all use a steering wheel made of hard plastic material, which is not very good to the touch, but the multi-function buttons on the steering wheel have a strong sense of damping, giving people a relatively good touch. In addition to the top and sub-top models, the dashboard adopts a combination of mechanical hands and a 7-inch LCD screen layout, which has a poor sense of technology, but there is no problem with functionality. The central control screen is the same as the dashboard, in addition to the top and secondary top configuration, all of them use 8-inch touch screens, and the car machine system supports CarPlay, CarLife and other functions, but does not support the Internet of Vehicles and OTA upgrades. In terms of air conditioning system, the crown land amplifier is equipped with independent air conditioning in the rear, and the top model also has air purification and negative ion generator.
The seats of the three low-end models are covered with fabric, the adjustment method is manual, and there is no heating and ventilation function, which is really difficult to accept for the model priced at 275,800. As for the seat layout, except for the minimum model of 5 seats, all other models are 2+3+2 seven-seat layouts.
In terms of power, the entire series of engines are using 2.5L four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, the maximum power of 192 horsepower, the maximum torque of 238 Nm, according to the different driving methods, respectively, matched with a single motor of 182 horsepower and a double motor of 237 horsepower, in terms of actual experience, the kinetic energy feeling is more sufficient, the overall kinetic energy is linear output, and the performance is relatively excellent. In terms of chassis, the whole series is equipped with the front suspension of The McPherson-style independent suspension, the rear suspension of the double wishbone independent suspension, the overall adjustment is hard, for the urban road surface, it will not feel too much vibration, but on the bumpy road, the vibration in the car is relatively strong, and the body will have a certain degree of bounce.
Summary: As a medium-sized SUV with a starting price of 275,800 yuan, the overall performance of the Crown Land Release can only be regarded as modest, and its three low-end models are not much different in configuration, the main difference lies in the difference between the seat layout and the four-wheel drive system, but the overall configuration performance of the whole series is not excellent, if it is my choice, I will only consider the top or sub-top models.
