If you say that Toyota can't do it, you will be slapped in the face when you look at the data!

With the popularity of travel and tourism during the Spring Festival, more and more consumers realize that buying a business vehicle may also be a good choice. At present, there are still many types of mainstream medium and large commercial vehicles on the market, and Toyota Sena and Buick GL8 are both models with good popularity. It is worth mentioning that in January this year, Toyota Sena's sales surpassed that of the Buick GL8 for the first time.

Many consumers may feel very strange, the price of the new Buick GL8 is very affordable, the starting price is only 232,900 yuan, why the sales are not as good as the Toyota Sena? When you carefully study the Buick GL8, you will find that many of the low and medium configurations are torsion beam non-independent suspension systems, in fact, this is the classic version of the "business class on the road", the exterior and interior design is a product many years ago, but it is still on sale. More importantly, the torsion beam design will reduce the comfort of MPVs a lot.

On the other hand, the starting price of Toyota Sena is 309,800 yuan, and all systems are four-wheel independent suspension systems, and there is no difference between the classic version and the old version, all of which are new models.

In addition, the Toyota Sena adopts a 2.5-liter diesel-electric hybrid system mated to an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. This power system makes the fuel consumption of the whole vehicle only 5.65L per 100 kilometers, and the 2.0T mild hybrid power system equipped with Buick GL8 is naturally not as good as the Toyota Sai.

On comfort and fuel consumption, Toyota Sena has a good advantage, more importantly, the sense of space in the car is better, the length, width and height of Toyota Sena are 5165/1995/1765mm, and the wheelbase is 3060mm, not only the wheelbase is excellent, but also close to 2m The width of the car can improve the comfort of the ride. It is worth mentioning that the trunk volume of this Toyota Sena is as high as 525L, which can be specially installed, and can be expanded to 2112L after the seat is folded down.

On the other hand, Buick GL8, although the trunk volume has also reached 521L, the expandable volume is only 1650L, and the gap between Toyota and Toyota close to 500L will be quite different in the long-distance driving process. For a self-driving trip, you need to bring a large bag of luggage, and the large trunk volume can better cope with the self-driving trip.

Personally, I think that there is another reason why Toyota Sena surpasses Buick GL8, that is, Toyota Sena has L2 level intelligent driving assistance system, equipped with full-speed adaptive cruise, active braking, collision warning prompt, lane centering, these configurations can reduce fatigue in long-distance driving. Although the Buick GL8 also has a similar design, it is relatively expensive to build, and it is only equipped with the Luzun version of nearly 350,000 yuan.

For family MPVs, Toyota Sena has a large space, fuel-efficient, and intelligent configuration is also very good, not to mention that whether it is Toyota or Buick, it is a big brand and trustworthy, so Feng relies on its own advantages, and it is reasonable that Toyota Sena's sales exceed Buick GL8.
