Recently, the new generation of Toyota Prado model officially announced the sales price on the eve of the Beijing Auto Show, the guide price is slightly lower than the previous pre-sale price of 459,800 yuan, and the top model is 549,800 yuan, the decline is even lower. But to be honest, there is not much impact on the evaluation of the overall cost performance, and if it is more direct, there is still not much cost performance at all. Of course, the price of the car is only announced at the moment, and the actual delivery will have to wait until July, so obviously the official is not ready.
In terms of appearance, the new car has long been exposed and unveiled without much suspense due to the ultra-high attention, the front face part adopts the latest family style, the round light version, the square lamp version and the Chinese special waterfall grille version will not be absent, showing rich diversity, in general, it is biased towards the retro style style, there is a sense of déjà vu of the 80s models. On the side of the body, the new car also maintains the retro design of the square box shape, with a contrasting body floating roof, a special A-pillar and D-pillar intersection of the window line additional bulge, powerful wheel arches protruding, large wheels, roof racks and other elements are not absent.
The body measurements reached 4920/1980/1866 mm, and the wheelbase was 2850 mm. At the rear of the car, the longitudinal taillights are all systematic, and the double-ring layout shows a good sense of class. The center is connected with black or body color decorative strips, inlaid with Toyota letter icons, the tail box lid is slightly drum-shaped, up and down opening and closing, since there is no side door structure without carrying a school bag, the lower spare tire has become the standard configuration of the whole system, and the rear bumper part also has subtle differences because of the different configurations, so that the style of the vehicle forms a unity.
In the interior part, the new car adopts a double-screen system composed of a suspended large LCD screen with an LCD instrument panel, and there are a large number of physical buttons in the front area of the armrest box, plus a mechanical gear lever, which is very in line with the identity of a hard-core off-road vehicle, of course, the entire interior assembly is also hard-line, there is no particularly high-grade material coverage, and the low-profile model is a fabric seat for nearly 500,000 yuan of models It is quite shabby, which is also a major reason for the controversy before. Another big controversy is the shrinkage of all aspects of the configuration, the low-end interior has a large number of plastic panels in the control area under the air conditioning to seal the buttons of the high-end models, which is quite undignified.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.4T four-cylinder engine with an electric motor composed of a petrol-electric hybrid assembly, with a comprehensive maximum power of 330 horsepower and a comprehensive torque of 630 Nm, but it has a good performance, and it is matched with an 8AT gearbox, multiple differential locks, a non-load-bearing body with a girder structure, and elements such as the overall bridge rear suspension will not be absent, and it also has a good performance in terms of passability. More information such as when it will be delivered remains to be confirmed by the authorities, and it is worth looking forward to.
