It has to be said that plug-in hybrids are quite popular nowadays, which not only save fuel and electricity, but also save on purchase tax. Therefore, the hybrids developed by most car companies are mainly plug-in.

However, Toyota has taken a completely different path, and the hybrid form is generally a weak gasoline-electric hybrid. Due to the small battery capacity and the substandard pure electric range, it cannot be exempted from purchase tax, but there are still many users who buy Toyota's gasoline-electric hybrid system models, which shows how outstanding the strength is.

Today we introduce a mid-size SUV that has a lot of consumers who know, but few users who buy it, this model is Toyota Lingfang HARRIER, why is this so?

Strictly speaking, although this Lingfang HARRIER is a medium-sized SUV, the wheelbase is only 2690mm, which is consistent with Toyota RAV4 Rongfang, so some consumers say that this is actually a shell model of Toyota Rongfang. In fact, when you really see this Lingfang HARRIER, you will even be in a trance, isn't this the Lexus NX? The front faces of the two are very similar.

The manufacturer's guide price of Lingfang HARRIER is 211,800-298,800 yuan, and the current terminal preferential range is about 20,000-50,000 yuan, of which the larger preferential range is the gasoline-electric hybrid version, with a starting price of 260,800 yuan, and the discount is basically about 210,000 yuan. Of course, the degree of discount varies from city to city, so you need to consult your local dealer.

The exterior design, Lingfang HARRIER adopts the sharp language design of the new Toyota, and after the mid-term facelift, the new car is more and more similar to Lexus, especially the ribbon LED daytime running lights, which are almost identical.

From the side of the model, the 19-inch wheels, sleek body lines, keyless entry system, chrome metal door handles, and a nice sense of detail are created. In addition to the tail lights with a through-style style, the dual exhaust pipes are also a manifestation of sporty performance, and the length of the high-mounted brake lights is very nice, and the safety factor at night will be greatly improved. According to body data, the length, width and height of the Lingfang Harrier are 4755/1855/1660mm, and the wheelbase is 2690mm. Although the wheelbase is the same as that of compact SUVs such as Rongfang, the length of the vehicle is more than 4.7 meters, and Toyota's design takes advantage of visual differences, so the appearance of the whole car looks very large (but the data itself is not large).

The interior design is a bit traditional, with a 12.3-inch floating central display, a semi-LCD and semi-mechanical trip computer, and an organ-style accelerator pedal for better control. In addition, the whole system is also equipped with a large sunroof and L2 level intelligent driving assistance system as standard, the configuration is really high, and the leather steering wheel, leather seats, and a large number of leather packages are also readily available.

ONE THING TO SAY, THIS LINGFANG HARRIER ALSO HAS SOME HEADACHE SHORTCOMINGS. The first is that although the large sunroof is standard, it cannot be opened. In addition, the electric trunk is only available on the flagship model, which makes many users feel uncomfortable. And mobile phone interconnection is also selectively carried. What's more, only the flagship model with a guide price of nearly 300,000 yuan can have JBL brand audio, which is also not enough.

As for the powertrain, I actually prefer to recommend you to consider the 2.5L dual-engine version. After the actual test drive, the power system is more passionate, and the start is also very good, the power can achieve a steady stream of output, whether it is starting or accelerating, the power is relatively sufficient, and there will be a strong sense of pushing back when stepping deep. Whether it is urban or high-speed, the overall driving performance is relatively calm. It is worth mentioning that the suspension tuning of the Lingfang Harrier is excellent, and the steering system is also very accurate and light.

In general, the hybrid dual-engine version of the Lingfang HARRIER will not disappoint you, but you still have to actually ride it before buying, after all, the wheelbase of less than 2.7m is for many consumers, and it still needs to focus on the actual experience.
