The car we are talking about today is GAC Toyota Sai na. According to the latest sales data, GAC Toyota Syna's sales reached 6,319 units in March, and the cumulative sales volume in the first quarter of 2022 also exceeded 15,000 units; sales in March were nearly three times higher than in the first month of listing.
There are several eye-catching elements on the front face of Xena, the electroplated strips on the side of the headlights form a classic Toyota horn shape, and the highlight surface effect is made around the Logo, making the entire bull head look very domineering. If you choose a white body color, it may be slightly worse to look at, because the silver and white colors of the electroplated parts are too close. The paint on the surface of the net also adds pearlescent powder, which is full of texture when you look at the golden sparkle up close.
The sense of high quality of the overall materials used in the sai na car is actually OK, and it is not as "hard" as many netizens scolded. Its "soft package area" is still a little more than the common Toyota model. The screen bezel and the physical buttons underneath are also more refined than other Toyota models. The effect improvement brought about by these small differences is actually obvious, and I have always disliked the narrow bar buttons in the Camry and Highlander interiors, and the feel is really not good. However, for the top model with a pre-price of more than 400,000 yuan, this interior is not worth much and has no sense of luxury.
In terms of size, Xena has few advantages over Kia Jawa and Buick GL8 in terms of body length, height and wheelbase. On the contrary, in terms of body width, because both Xena and Jawa are models developed for the North American market, they have reached the level of 1995mm, which is wider than the GL8 MPV developed for the Chinese market.
The most designed of the tail of the Xena is this taillight, which is designed with a black decorative panel that slopes downward to extend the shape, forming a large Y shape, which also matches the lines of the rear of the body. The area of the D-pillar is large enough to be oblique enough to affect the view of the third row of windows a little bit. The upturned line of the side door is also more designed than the old model, does it look very similar to highlander?
In terms of power, the domestic Syna is consistent with the American version of the model, all equipped with a 2.5L THS II hybrid system, the system comprehensive power of 249 horsepower, matching the E-CVT gearbox, the whole series is front-wheel drive, the ministry of industry and information technology comprehensive working conditions fuel consumption is only 5.3L/100km. From the power system of Xena, it can also be seen that its positioning is still obviously biased towards home use, the main fuel saving, as for the full load of high-speed driving ability of this hybrid system, it will have to wait for the test drive later to give the answer.
