Among Toyota's models, the new Leiling Shuangqing has indeed given us a lot of surprises, what are the specific surprises? Let's take a look.
The appearance has been slightly changed and the configuration has been upgraded.
Let's start with a game, let's find out the difference between the new Lei Ling and the old one. You will find that there are really not many changes, it basically continues the shape of the old model.
The middle grille of the new Lei Ling has been slightly adjusted, from a polygon to a diamond, do you see? The decoration on both sides of the grille has also changed slightly, changing to the same color as the body, improving the overall feeling. The details of the L-shaped LED headlights have been optimized, and it should be noted that the high-spec models come with lenses.
The length, width and height of the new Lei Ling are still 4640/1780/1455mm, the wheelbase is 2700mm, and the side shape of the body is the same as the old model.
The only change to the rear is the addition of a diffuser-like design to the rear bumper, which is also one of the changes to the new Levin. Compared to the exterior, it seems that it is more difficult to find out the interior changes of the new Levin Link. Actually, its upgrade is mainly in the multimedia system.
The all-new T-SMART cockpit is equipped with a 10.25-inch large central control screen, and in addition to the usual entertainment functions, it also supports CarPlay/HiCar/CarLife smartphone connectivity
The 12.3-inch digital LCD instrument is undoubtedly much better than the mechanical instrument of the past, which greatly enhances the fashion atmosphere. T-CHAT intelligent voice interaction has been further upgraded, it improves language recognition and fault tolerance, supports custom wake-up words, and listens for 30 seconds at a time.
The new Lelink is equipped with the latest generation of Toyota's T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system, which includes high-precision cameras and inductive radars, and has more powerful perception and prediction capabilities than before.
It adds RSA Road Sign Recognition Assist, which recognizes signs such as speed limits and no overtaking, and displays them on the instrument cluster to notify the driver.
One of the highlights is the Predictive Active Driver Assistance (PDA), which helps the vehicle to decelerate or brake earlier on pedestrians, bicycles or cars passing laterally.
It is equipped with the fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid dual engine.
With sufficient lithium battery power, the new Lelink drives infinitely close to an electric car, with direct and smooth acceleration, and the cockpit is also very quiet.
Even when you need to accelerate sharply when you need to increase the throttle hard, the intervention of the engine can be said to be seamless and does not feel abrupt.
After the power is strengthened, the new Leiling is obviously more relaxed when cruising at high speeds, and the acceleration in the rear is also more durable. In terms of driving modes, the ECO mode and standard mode experience are similar. In Sport mode, its dynamic response is more direct and crisp, and there is a feeling that it suddenly becomes more agile.
The new T-PILOT intelligent driving assistance system is indeed much easier to use, at least it does not draw a dragon, and the two basic functions of following the car and lane centering are done well.
It has a fairly calm start, the tires don't slip at all, and the acceleration process is linear and even, and there is no so-called acceleration. The steering of the new Lei Ling is relatively light and easy to use, and it is quite easy to turn around or reverse into storage, and the main disadvantage is that the plastic feels cheap.
The tuning style of the chassis is obviously also expected, and the new Lei Ling takes the route of being more comfortable at home, and the filtration of most bumps on the road is still good. The braking feel of the new Lei Ling is relatively linear, while retaining a certain amount of feedback, and the overall is relatively easy to master.
