Toyota Highlander couldn't hold back, with a drop of 35,000 and a fuel consumption of 5.82L, but it was still left out in the cold
How beautiful Toyota was in the early years, how embarrassed it is now, its global sales are about the same as Volkswagen, but the profit is the sum of Volkswagen, Daimler, and GM, why? It is nothing more than because the price of Toyota is relatively strong, the year before last, Magotan and Passat have fallen to 150,000, but the price of Camry still starts at about 180,000, basically no discount.
Toyota has also won a reputation of "high value retention", however, with the further rise of domestic automobiles, especially the sudden emergence of domestic new energy vehicles, Toyota's sales plummeted, and it had to reduce the price of its own products, and the myth of value retention rate was also shattered.
Take Highlander as an example, it has dropped by 35,000 at present, and sales are still not improving, only 4430 units were sold in February, my opinion is that it has to be reduced, after all, from the current decline, the new car is still not hot in the market!
First of all, from the overall appearance design, the overall shape of Toyota Highlander is still relatively tough and atmospheric, the front face shape adopts a family-style design, the large grille is matched with sharp headlights, there is a sense of off-road vehicles, the shape of the taillights echoes with the headlights, the sharp waistline is outlined from the tail, and the slender body, the visual effect is very eye-catching.
Highlander's interior design is relatively mediocre and restrained in terms of appearance, the main color is also black, it looks more old-fashioned, the size of the multimedia screen is only 8 inches, and there is no LCD dashboard, not to mention the car machine, Toyota's car machine understands everything. However, the Highlander's configuration is quite rich, the new car is equipped with 7 airbags as standard, and the L2 driver assistance system is also equipped, and the safety performance is still very good.
In terms of space size, the body length, width and height of the Highlander are 4965mm, 1930mm, 1750mm, wheelbase length is 2850mm, the size parameters of the standard medium-sized SUV, the actual space is still relatively spacious, even if it is a seven-seat version of the model, the passenger with a height of 1.8 meters sits in the second row to maintain a comfortable sitting position, the knee is also two fists away from the front seat, and the third row has a fist of space, not to mention the five-seater version of the model, the space is very spacious.
Let's take a look at the power system, the Highlander is equipped with a 2.5L self-priming engine + electric motor composed of a petrol-electric hybrid system, the total maximum power of the system is 181kW, the transmission system is matched with an E-CVT continuously variable gearbox, and the official WLTC comprehensive fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 5.82L. In addition, the new car is also available in 2WD and 4WD options. As for the chassis, the new car adopts a combination of MacPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension.
Compared with competing products at the same price, Highlander's core competitiveness is still relatively good, but the problem is that the rapid rise of domestic new energy vehicles has made Highlander's competitiveness relatively declining.
