Toyota rebuilds another hard-core Prado! Imported + three locks + thick beams, less than 300,000 super large blocks

If you have a budget of 28-300,000 yuan and want to buy a Toyota SUV, how to choose?

I guess at this price, many friends will immediately think of Toyota Highlander, right? The Toyota Highlander has been upgraded to a dual-engine version, with further reduced fuel consumption and an enhanced powertrain. But the Toyota Highlander is just an urban SUV, lacking off-road ability, and even the 30-degree slope of the online video can't go up.

So what other new cars are available besides the Toyota Highlander? Is it possible to buy a Toyota Prado? Toyota Prado is definitely not available, in fact, there is a parallel imported hard-core SUV in China, this model is Toyota Fortuner.

Toyota Fortuner is Toyota's entry-level hardcore off-road vehicle, with a price of around 29-320,000 yuan, which is really not expensive for hard-core off-road. Although the price positioning is relatively low, the off-road ability and the reliability of the new car are beyond the imagination of many friends.

The appearance is a decent Toyota traditional car design, the whole front of the car looks round and domineering, and even some consumers have upgraded it to Prado styling, but it is a pity that the new car has a low configuration and is equipped with a halogen light source. Often, the configuration of such parallel imported cars is not particularly outstanding.

The interior design is as simple as it was from ten years ago! The barrel instrument cluster, the leather steering wheel with a stiff feel, and the 8-inch embedded small screen, and even the air conditioning control part are designed in the traditional knob-style design that resembles Santana. It can be said that the exterior and interior of the entire new car are relatively mechanical and traditional. But there are also advantages to such a design, which is often not prone to problems in some bumpy areas with poor road conditions.

The exterior dimensions and wheelbase of the Toyota Fortuner are very similar to those of the Prado, and it also has a three-row seat design, so there is no pressure on the front and rear seats. In the actual experience, the space performance of the third row is more ideal than that of the Prado.

As for the powertrain, the Toyota Fortuner is equipped with a 2.7L engine + 6-speed automatic transmission, does this powertrain look quite familiar? In fact, it is the old Toyota Highlander, the powertrain is not very good, of course, the low-spec version of the Prado model has also been used before. In the process of high-speed driving, the speed is high, 120km/h can reach 3000 rpm, and running at high speed is more fuel-intensive.

The chassis is the chassis of the Toyota Prado, and the girders are also thicker than the Prado, which is more adaptable to bumpy roads. In addition, it is also equipped with a three-lock structure, which has a good ability to get out of trouble.

Summary: The chassis and powertrain of the Toyota Fortuner are exactly the same as those of the Prado, and the exterior dimensions are almost the same, but the problem is that the price of the new car is only half of the Prado, and it is a more cost-effective model. However, the new car is not very popular in China, the main reason is the lack of visibility, low configuration, and even many car owners feedback that after buying back, they also need to install front and rear radars, reversing images, it is really a simple to the ultimate Toyota off-road!
