FAW Toyota Xinrongfang and Xinlingfang are listed, and the hybrid models become the absolute main force.
On September 12th, the new HARRIER and the new Harrier went on the market at the same time. Although it was only an annual modified model, the two cars had obvious innovations in product strength and configuration.
Let’s look at Rongfang first. The new car has launched nine models including fuel, smart electric hybrid twin-engine and smart plug-in twin-engine. Hybrid has become the absolute main force, and the official price range is 169,800-297,800 yuan. At the same time, various generous preferential policies have been introduced, which greatly reduced the actual car purchase threshold.
Rongfang is a very classic model, known as the originator of urban SUV, the core force of Toyota in the compact SUV market and the star player in the SUV market for a long time.
The new Rongfang overall style fashion movement uses a lot of bold and distinctive designs, which still has obvious visual impact even though it has been on the market for some time. The upgrade of this new car focuses on the internal and external details of the Fashion PLUS version, and the front grille, front and rear bumper guards, wheel eyebrows, and side and rear door trim strips have all been adjusted. Of course, these adjustments are more about tinkering with the old models and basically maintaining respect for the old models.
The new Rongfang interior design still maintains the family design style. The center of the cockpit is a large-size suspended central control panel, three circular steering wheels are easy to use, and the mechanical gear handle is also convenient to operate, while retaining a large number of physical buttons. The new model has been slightly upgraded in the interior material and color, such as the color and grain of the door panel, the door handle in the car has also been added with new decorative strips, and the details of the leather package such as the central armrest and the baffle handle have also been partially adjusted. Of course, these changes are relatively slight, and the overall taste is still familiar. The familiar formula will not be unfamiliar.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the new Rongfang are 4600 (4610)/1855 (1865)/1680 (1685) mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which is basically the same as that of the old models. It is still positioned as a compact SUV, and the actual riding experience has not changed much.
In terms of power, the new Rongfang offers a wealth of choices. The fuel version of the 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 126 kW and a peak torque of 209 Nm. According to different configurations, the comprehensive power of the 2.5L dual-engine version is 160 kW and 163 kW respectively. The 2.5L plug-in hybrid version of the single motor version has a comprehensive power of 194 kW and a pure electric cruising range of 78 km. The dual-motor (four-wheel drive) version is 225 kilowatts, and the pure electric cruising range is 73 kilometers.
Lingfang is larger in size and higher in level than Rongfang, but its market influence and terminal sales are far less than Rongfang.
The new Lingfang is fashionable and avant-garde, and it seems to have a strong visual impact with Lexus temperament. It is known as Toyota’s "most beautiful SUV". The front face of the new car adopts an approximate X-shaped design, the huge blackened T-shaped air intake is very eye-catching, and the sharp headlights are connected by a chrome strip in the middle, which improves the integrity of the front face.
The profile of the new Lingfang emphasizes the dynamic sense, and an inclined waistline runs through the whole car, which brings a strong sense of dive. The chrome-plated strip of the slightly raised lower porthole makes the body expression richer.
As for the interior, the new Lingfang has adopted a family style similar to Rongfang’s, and the material and technology have maintained the basic level of Lingfang. Although it is slightly conservative compared with the new forces, it is more in line with driving habits in actual use.
In terms of space, the length, width and height of the new car are 4755/1855/1660mm and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which are basically the same as the current models, and the actual ride experience is exactly the same.
As an annual modified model, the biggest change of the new car is that it is equipped with a brand-new hybrid system, and provides a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5L power option. The 2.0L engine has a maximum power of 126 kW and a maximum torque of 206 Nm. The 2.5L hybrid vehicle has a combined power of 160 kW for two-wheel drive and 163 kW for four-wheel drive, matching the E-CVT continuously variable gearbox.
