If domestic, the price of the new Land cruiser will obviously have a lot of decline, as a reference, the previously discontinued domestic land cruise starting price of 771,000 yuan, the domestic parallel importers have also given the entry-level new land cruiser reference price, 103-130 million yuan, high-end GR SPORT is more than 150-180 million yuan, even compared to the Japanese version of the price doubled several times, but its popularity in the country is still not low.

The new Land Cruiser released so far, I believe you are already very familiar, this generation of models based on Toyota's latest TNGA-K platform to build, the whole car looks rough and taste a lot less, but still can meet all your imagination of pure off-road vehicles, the aura is also online.

At the same time, it also launched the GR SPORT version with sports kit to meet the individual needs of more customers. Unfortunately, the new Land Cruiser canceled the classic "Heaven and Earth Gate" opening method and used the traditional one-piece tailgate instead.

Although the interior of the new Land Cruiser still looks like the last century, the layout of the center console, the arrangement of buttons and the application of the floating screen have been upgraded to some youthful taste compared to the old model.

In order to take into account better road performance, Toyota has made adjustments to the suspension geometry and the vehicle center of gravity this time, such as the engine placement position is indented backwards, the height is also reduced, and the front and rear counterweight ratios are 53.5:46.5.

However, the power part, the new Land Cruiser is no longer equipped with a V8 engine, which uses a 3.5T V6 twin-turbo gasoline engine, although the displacement is down, but the horsepower goes up, its maximum horsepower is 415 horses, the peak torque is 650 Nm, matching the 10-speed automatic transmission, and it takes only 6.7 seconds to break the hundred. In addition, 3.3T V6 diesel engines are available in some markets.

Although this domestic road test allows you to see the hope of its domestic production, Toyota has previously announced in the local area that it is expected to wait for a long time to order the new Land Cruiser from the moment, and the delivery time is about 4 years, before the new Land cruiser arrives at Tianjin Port for 3C certification and emission testing and a series of processes, it also takes at least 4-5 months, so this time it is really determined to be domestic, and the expected waiting time is unimaginable.

Spanning 22 years of crock pots, bmw M3 travel version is finally going to be mass-produced and released.

Has been mentioning high-performance station wagons, everyone may think of the Audi RS station wagon family for the first time, compared with other luxury brands, Audi has a longer history of creating station wagons, and most models are also based on the basic version of the station wagon at the beginning of development.

Audi RS4

In contrast, the Mercedes-Benz BMW next door has fewer high-performance station wagon layouts, mercedes-benz is relatively better, at least against rivals such as the Audi RS4, which brought the C-class AMG travel version as early as 2008, and BMW did not have the following after releasing the M3 Touring concept car in 2000.

Until recently, BMW seems to remember this thing, BMW's first mass production M3 travel version is already in beta, according to foreign media sources it will be officially released in June this year (2022), it can be said that this mass production landing spanned 22 years.

How about BMW doing a high-performance station wagon? In fact, the M3 travel version of the shape will not be too much of a surprise, after all, the former new BMW M3 and 3 series travel version has been available for a while, its shape is nothing more than having the same radical decoration as M3, and then adding a 3 series travel version of the tail, its spy photos also confirm our conjecture, and foreign media also draw a lot of renderings according to this, you may wish to refer to the reference.

However, in the interior part, because BMW has gradually matched the new dual screen interior design, the new M3 travel version is expected to adopt the same new interior as bmw i3 and i4, and use the latest iDrive 8 system.

Foreign media said that in terms of power, the new M3 travel version will be equipped with a 3.0T L6 twin-turbo engine + 8-speed automatic transmission + four-wheel drive system, only the Thunder version of the model provides, but compared to the M3 with more sporty control, the more practical M3 travel version will not provide manual transmission and rear-drive versions.

Can't enter China, it is estimated that BMW is also hesitating, of course, I think BMW also has its own considerations, to know that the Audi high-performance crock pot family was introduced into the country early, a good, but not popular, BMW for cost and market considerations have always been unwilling to do these "loss" business, so the future M3 wagon will enter China, BMW is estimated to have to examine the market for a period of time.

But I'm afraid that there are not many crock tank car fans in China, and there are even fewer high-performance crock tank fans, even if the M3 travel version is announced to enter China one day, the price is estimated to exceed one million, and I am afraid that I will have to test Bimmer's faith again.
