The Balance Rule under the Radical Appearance Test Drive Toyota Yize IZOA

In people's minds, Toyota always gives people the impression of being conservative and moderate. In recent years, styling design can be described as radical and more and more popular with young people, but many old traditions still persist in their bones, such as self-priming power. As a sister model of GAC Toyota C-HR, this test drive of FAW Toyota IZOA integrates good passability and excellent handling. Rather than an SUV, I think calling it a "cross-border recreational vehicle" sounds smaller and fresher.

This crossover model is the favorite in the European market. When I traveled to northern Europe last year, I found that the original overseas models of Yize and C-HR had spread all over the local streets. In fact, it is also very successful in China, but the monthly sales of 10 thousand vehicles are equally divided between North and South Toyota. Comparing the two models, except for the difference in coverage and color, different wheels are used, and there is almost no difference in appearance.

The blue and white roof of the knight in this test drive is the "brightest boy" in Yize product line. Guangfeng's C-HR is mainly based on Tiffany's Jasper Blue. Both colors are very popular with young people, depending on their preferences.

As a crossover SUV, Yize is very similar to BMW X2 and Link 02. It is not the main space, but on the basis of excellent maneuverability, it takes into account the adaptability of various road conditions and is more suitable for white-collar workers who have lived in the city for a long time and love outdoor travel. Mazda CX-4, which is most similar to its positioning, is Japanese and still insists on using 2.0L self-priming power.

Compared with CX-4' s relatively traditional modeling, the sci-fi and avant-garde like Yize are beyond this era, and only young hipsters can appreciate it. Based on "sexy? The design concept of "diamond" (sexy diamond) has sharp lines and exquisite details, and the overall visual effect is full of muscle.

The air intakes on both sides of the front face and the front bumper expand outward in an X shape, just like a modified car surrounded by a wide body. Compared with many traditional models, the design of Yize is really exaggerated.

The side, the front and rear wheel arches and the sharply rising waistline, such as the skyline of the roof, form a suspension effect with the white roof, which looks like a spaceship as a whole. The roof is gradually thickened from the rear of the C-pillar, and the tail wing is the final work, which perfectly solves the contradiction between avant-garde modeling and rear overhead space.

The characteristics of the tail are more distinct, and the shape of the slip back and the raised tail makes the visible area of the rear window smaller. The double C-shaped taillights set off a small tail like a duck's tongue, and the taste of science fiction is stronger.

The connection between the taillight and the tailgate cover is also more concave and convex. LED strip's three light and shadow gradations are somewhat similar to Lexus's, and charming little ass is so sexy.

The skylight of Yize is a unique configuration in China market, and when you go to Europe, you will find that Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Volvo there rarely have skylights. Among the three models of Yize, the top is equipped with a standard skylight and the middle is equipped with an optional skylight. Is it like our childhood "slide phone"?

Yize's interior uses a large area of black piano paint as the main color, which highlights a cool sports atmosphere. But its design is not as dazzling as many independent brands, but inherits Toyota's consistent style, which is simple, practical and durable.

Although Yize's interior color scheme has a purple stripe version, I still think plain face looks more comfortable. When you actually use it, you can still feel the exquisite workmanship, exquisite materials and humanized design. The center console is more inclined to the driving side, and the soft material like leather is more graded.

The appearance of the instrument is still traditional, with the outline of double tubes and a small display screen in the middle, which looks relatively simple. Functionally, it integrates G value display, and also contains information of Toyota Zhixing safety system, such as adaptive cruise, lane departure prompt, and can also adjust the sensitivity of automatic braking.

The 9-inch touch panel is still the simplicity of Japanese cars. Support Baidu CarLife, relying on mobile phone screen mapping, so it is not equipped with navigation, which is in line with most people's usage habits. Today, with the big screen of Android, Toyota models are unmoved. For many "old drivers", these "fancy" functions are not important to us.

Although they are all Toyota, Yize's seats are not as soft as those of medium and large cars such as Asian Dragon and Highlander. Wrapping and supporting, especially the waist and neck comfort of long-term driving, are more concerned by young people, and the proper movement of Yize's seat can be regarded as finding a good balance between these two types.

Yize's wheelbase is 2640mm, which is the standard size of compact cars. In terms of spatial performance, it can only be said that it is a cross-border version of Corolla. As an SUV, the body is still a little higher than the traditional car. A slightly higher front seat can only slightly improve the rear legroom, but after all, it can't be measured by the standard of a traditional SUV. The overall spatial performance is similar to the CX-4 I drove not long ago.

As for Yize's driving experience, you can feel the obvious self-priming property when you drive it. The displacement is 2.0L, the maximum power 17 1 horsepower, and the peak torque is 203 N m. The overall performance is slightly better than that of Corolla's 1.2T, which is quite sufficient. Because of CVT transmission, the acceleration feeling of stepping on the first throttle is not strong. Although the speed is not fast, as long as the vehicle stays in the middle and high speed range, the linearity and surge of power can also give you a certain driving passion.

The thermal efficiency of the power system reaches 40%, and the dual injection oil supply system is adopted, and different injection modes can be selected according to different working conditions. CVT transmission simulates 10 speed and adopts the transmission mode of combining steel belt and gear, which can effectively reduce the load and wear of steel belt. These technical advantages give consideration to both power performance and fuel economy. In the process of driving in urban areas for a few days, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is less than 8.5L, which is almost the same as that of compact cars.

As a Toyota under the framework of TNGA, one of the most obvious feelings is the remarkable improvement of handling. Because of its more sporty positioning, its steering accuracy is much better than that of Camry and Asian Dragon. The suspension is quite tough, especially when cornering, the damping feeling of the chassis can also effectively filter the subtle bumps, giving a good balance between comfort and handling.

As a cross-border SUV, the positioning of the city can't be too off-road. When I happened to go to a river with another colleague to shoot hardcore cross-country, Yi Ze was forced to take some wild roads. The whole system adopts two-wheel drive structure, and the ground clearance of the car body has not been announced, but it is obviously lower than that of the traditional SUV.

It is true that there are several sections with big bulges that are difficult to cross the river, so you can only try the best angle, and be careful not to support the chassis or bumper because of the bouncing of the suspension. However, compared with cars, its adaptability to road conditions is still much stronger.

This crossing axis is uphill, which is the primary difficulty of this river. My method is to explore at low speed first. When the front wheel grip is insufficient, like many predecessor city SUVs, the vehicle stays in place and the front wheel spins.

Only when I confirm that the selected route will not harm the chassis will the vehicle have a certain speed. After the skidding process, the uphill auxiliary system played some roles and successfully passed the soil slope with some cross-axis properties. In short, in the case of sufficient ground clearance, the rushing slope is almost a helpless way for two-wheel drive SUVs.

Since it is an urban SUV belonging to fashion hipsters, it should abandon off-road and return to the essence. Its price range is14.68-174,800 yuan. Compared with the top models of Corolla and Lei Ling, the top models are 20,000 yuan more, but the space utilization rate and practicality are improved a lot. The self-priming power of 2.0L can be roughly equivalent to the performance of a twin-engine vehicle. The overall comfort and ride comfort are excellent, and the chassis texture reflects a sense of advanced. The consideration of comfort and handling is the biggest advantage of TNGA architecture for Toyota.

Although Toyota Yize is still not as strong as many "DeVille" models, turbine power provides you with more passion. But today's Toyota has made up for the shortcomings of the past. On the basis of maintaining comfort, the driving pleasure has been significantly improved and it is easier to drive. In terms of safety, all the models after the Toyota TNGA framework have achieved the best results from China Insurance Research Institute, and Yize's test was also completed not long ago. Plus Toyota Zhixing active safety system and 10 airbag as standard in the whole system. In the most competitive market within 200,000 yuan, Toyota has always adhered to the bottom line of safety.

Regarding Japanese and German departments, safety performance cannot be summarized by country. Even in the same country, each brand attaches different importance to safety. Although I still have too many feelings for European cars in my heart, when I return to rationality and think from the perspective of more people, I can understand why Toyota can sell well in all corners of the world. There are no obvious advantages and disadvantages, even if the shape is sci-fi avant-garde, the initial intention of pursuing stability and reliability remains unchanged.
