On April 18, according to FAW Toyota's official news, the 2024 Grevia ushered in the official launch, and a total of 7 models were officially released this time, with a price range of 299,800-416,800 yuan. For reference, the price range of the old model is 315,800-415,800 yuan. The appearance of the new car marks another upgrade of Toyota in the MPV market, not only introducing a new version of the E-Four four-wheel drive system, but also upgrading the configuration.
In terms of appearance, the new Grevia continues the family-style design language, with a sharp and dynamic front face, a vibrant tail design, and a fashionable overall appearance design. The new car is also equipped with dual-side power side sliding doors and 17-inch, 18-inch and 20-inch alloy wheels depending on the configuration. The body size reaches 5175/1995/1765mm, continuing the setting of medium and large MPVs. In addition, the new car also offers a variety of body color options, of which the official name "platinum white" and "ink blue" options require an additional 2,000 yuan.
Inside, the new Grevia retains the design style of the old model, which is mainly for domestic use, but upgrades some equipment. These include integrated first-class seats that integrate functions such as electric leg rests, massage, heating, ventilation, etc., to provide a more comfortable seating experience for drivers and passengers. In the second row, a new table has been added to provide passengers with a more convenient dining or office space. In addition, high-end equipment such as aviation floors, refrigerators, and ceiling-mounted TVs are also available for users to choose, further enhancing the luxury and convenience in the car.
In terms of in-vehicle systems, the new Grevia is equipped with a new generation of in-vehicle systems, using Qualcomm 8155 chips, with 4 times more computing power and more sensitive response. At the same time, the newly planned voice interaction function has been optimized, supporting chat-style continuous dialogue, without frequent wake-up, which greatly improves the user experience. At the same time, it supports CarPlay, CarLife, HiCar and other mobile phone wireless interconnection functions, providing more convenience for drivers and passengers.
In addition, the new Grevia is equipped with the T-Pilot intelligent driving assistance system and 9 airbags as standard, further improving the vehicle's intelligence level and driving safety.
Of course, the biggest highlight is the new four-wheel drive model, equipped with the E-Four system, which automatically adjusts the torque distribution and improves the driving stability of the Grevia in various road conditions. In terms of power, the new model is equipped with a 2.5-liter engine and an electric motor with a maximum engine power of 139kW, a front motor with a maximum power of 134kW, and a combined system power of 181kW, with a WLTC fuel consumption of only 6.13L/100km for the all-wheel drive version.
In terms of the market, the new car Grevia is facing competition from many aspects, including the challenge of new energy independent brand MPVs and other joint venture competitors. Even with Toyota's deep accumulation and user reputation in the MPV field, and the price has been reduced, compared with the current Denza D9 DM-i, as well as the upcoming new players such as ZEEKR MIX, Yizhen L380, BYD Dynasty Network medium and large MPV, SAIC Volkswagen ID.BUZZ, etc., the overall cost performance of the car still has room for improvement. As for how the market will perform in the future, it remains to be further tested by time.
