The global automotive market is undergoing tremendous changes, and one of the focal points of this change is Toyota's success in replacing Volkswagen as the new king of automobile manufacturing and sales. In this process, the rapid rise of the Chinese market has become a key factor. This article will focus on Toyota's rapid growth in the Chinese market, as well as GAC Toyota's Levin as a success story.
As a sister car of the Corolla, Lelink has become Toyota's main force in the Chinese sedan market with a taller and younger positioning. Looking back on the sales results in 2012, Lei Ling began to emerge and has remained strong, and will enter 2023 to sit firmly in the top 10 of sedan sales.
Behind this success, first of all, it is due to Lei Ling's positioning. Compared with Corolla, Leiling pays more attention to sports performance, attracting the attention of more young consumers. Its success is not only reflected in the sales figures, but also in the improvement of the brand image.
The latest generation of Lelink has taken an important step in the replacement and technology upgrade, introducing the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual engine system. This system not only improves the power efficiency, but also marks the positive response of Lelink to environmental protection technology. The technical details of the hybrid model include a 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle engine and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission mechanism to provide consumers with a better driving experience.
Leiling's diverse choices in the power system are even more intimate. In addition to the electric hybrid version, two engine options are available: TNGA 1.5L and 185T 1.2T, which meet the needs of different consumers. This diversified choice is a keen insight into market demand, and it is also GAC Toyota's full respect for the individual needs of consumers.
In terms of space and interior, Lei Ling also performed well. The interior of the cockpit is well-designed, with excellent storage levels and a surprising boot volume. The practicality of the interior layout is reflected in the feature-rich central console layout and the standard 10.25-inch touchscreen.
With the development of science and technology, the upgrade of intelligent interconnection system has become an indispensable part. Lelink also maintains a leading position in this regard, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen as standard, which supports a variety of mobile phone interconnection functions. Through OTA online upgrades, consumers can get more functions at any time, and the already supported apps such as AutoNavi Map and in-car WeChat have further improved the driving experience.
In terms of safety assistance systems, Lei Ling also performs with ease. The TSS Safety Suite has been upgraded to TSS3.0 with advanced features such as road sign recognition and driver status monitoring.
In particular, the DRCC Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system not only improves driving safety, but also makes driving easier.
On the whole, GAC Toyota Leiling, as the first mass-produced car equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual engine system, shows Toyota's intentions in design and configuration. Its leading position in the field of safety assistance makes it competitive in the market.
At the end, let's expect more from GAC Toyota Leiling. It is believed that its comprehensiveness will be more competitive in the same price range, and will also bring greater challenges to competitors in the field of gasoline-electric hybrids.
