Analysis on Shopping Guide of Toyota Asian Dragon 10 Impact Large-size Vehicle

In the first half of last year, FAW Toyota introduced the domestic Asian Dragon, replacing Reiz as its main medium-sized car. At the beginning, 2.5L models were mainly listed. In the second half of last year, four 2.0L models were added, and the price was reduced to 200,000 yuan. At present, the price range of the whole department is 65,438+09.98-289,800 yuan, which is divided into four 2.0L models, two 2.5L models and four 2.5L twin-engine models * * 65,438+00 models. Recently, some netizens have taken a fancy to the Asian dragon, but they are struggling with how to choose the configuration. Today we use 20 19 2.5L? Taking the real car of TOOLA Premium Edition (hereinafter referred to as Toyota Asian Dragon) as an example, this paper introduces the characteristics of the model and analyzes how to choose and buy it.

Model characteristics:

One is to build the same TNGA-K platform as lexus ES, focusing on the B+ class car market.

Second, the front face adopts "Keen? Look "family language, exaggerated modeling breaks Toyota's conservative traditional impression.

Third, the interior is mature and steady, with a sense of business fashion in lexus es.

Fourth, the powertrain is rich, and it is available in 3 versions: 2.0L+CVT/2.5L+8AT/2.5L dual engine+E-CVT * *.

Avalon (North American market name), as a model specially built for the North American market, was first born in 1994. Because Japanese cars are economical and durable, and the body size is increased to meet the needs of the North American market, the first generation of Asian dragons quickly gained market recognition at the beginning of its appearance. However, because it has not been introduced into China market, its popularity in China is not high. The new generation of Asian Dragon introduced into China this time, built on the same TNGA-K platform as lexus ES, is positioned that the medium-sized car will dominate the B+ class car market. The new car offers six body colors to choose from: pearl white (extra 2000 yuan), streamer silver, Danxia red, chestnut gold brown, carbon crystal brown and ink yuan black.

Thanks to "Keen? Look "family language, the front face modeling presents a sporty, young and personalized style. The angular irregular front face grille modeling and multi-spoke horizontal grille completely break the conventional front face modeling of general models and look very fresh. It also breaks the traditional impression of consumers on Toyota in the past.

Slim headlights use LED light source, which is standard in all systems. The three lamp beads inside are arranged in a matrix, and the size of the lamp beads is gradually enlarged from the inside out, which echoes the outline of the headlight and looks sharp enough.

The whole system also comes standard with LED front fog lights, but they are hidden and located in the inner corner of the grille. The left and right side cheeks are inverted L-shaped, which are vents, which can cool the braking system and improve aerodynamic performance.

From the side, the wheelbase and length of the car body are sufficient, with a slender posture, the front and rear suspensions are equally symmetrical, and the ratio of the relative wheelbase is slightly smaller. The curvature of the roof line is small, which is smooth and natural. The front and rear windshields are also symmetrical and look harmonious. The sharp waistline runs through the front door handle from the side fender and stops under the back door handle. The lines are smart and powerful. Skirts also use curved lines to enrich the light and shadow of curved surfaces.

The body size is 4975/ 1850/ 1450mm, and the wheelbase is 2870 mm It is precisely because of the obvious advantages compared with competitors in terms of wheelbase and vehicle length that Asian Dragon has positioned itself as a B+ medium-sized car to avoid direct competition with Japanese rivals. Of course, the length of 4975mm and the wheelbase of 2870mm are exactly the same as those in lexus ES.

The exterior rearview mirror adopts a black base and the same color shell of the body, which increases the three-dimensional sense through a beautiful arc. The base is decorated with silver chrome plating to enhance the sense of exquisiteness, and there is a steering compensation lamp above the chrome plating strip. Functionally, it supports electric adjustment, folding, heating and 360 panoramic image side camera, which is practical. ?

The door handle is decorated with all chrome, and the shape is very Toyota. The driver's seat supports keyless, but it is strange that the touch button is designed on the left side of the handle, which requires the thumb of the right hand to touch and then move to the left hand to open the door, which is more complicated.

The specifications of front and rear wheels are 235/48? R 18, large-size wheels make the posture of the car body look more stable. The wheel hub is multi-spoke, painted in matte black and gray, and looks very young, with Youke Haoma tires.

Although the overall shape of the tail looks less sporty and more stable than the front face, personally, I think the tail has more connotation than the front face. The biggest highlight is the adoption of the popular through taillights. The three-dimensional light bar brings a richer sense of hierarchy to the rear of the car, and the English logo“AVALON "is also embedded in the light bar, which is full of sense of belonging. The canard tail above adds a lot of movement, which is the crowning touch. The exhaust pipe layout with double outlets on both sides is more stable because the nozzle is straight, but there is no movement. The rear of the car adopts multi-curved modeling on the license plate frame and bumper, which reflects Toyota's efforts to change from design to manufacturing technology and bring more freshness to consumers.

The penetrating taillight is novel and avant-garde, with L-shaped light strip inside, which has excellent effect and high recognition after lighting at night.

Different from the radical appearance style, the car layout of Asian Dragon follows the elegant route of Lexus. The simple center console is different from the previous Toyota models, and the independent vertical center console is more stable and elegant. The whole system comes standard with 9-inch central control panel and 7-inch driving computer, which enhances the scientific and technological atmosphere of the carriage. In terms of color matching, there are three colors to choose from: black, beige and cognac brown, and some common wooden decorative strips on Lexus are added to show different luxury tastes. ?

The steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and the shape and multi-function buttons are consistent with the eighth generation Camry, which is quite intimate for Toyoda powder. Functionally support manual adjustment up and down, back and forth, and equipped with shift paddles.

Unlike the dashboard combination of the eighth generation Camry, the Toyota Asian Dragon adopts the combination of the dual-disc and the driving computer, which is similar to that of lexus ES. The tachometer is on the left and the speedometer is on the right. The 7-inch color driving computer in the middle can display rich driving information and multimedia information, and its functions are relatively perfect. The 2.5L high-profile model is also equipped with HUD head-up display function, which is full of advanced feeling.

The 9-inch central control panel is standard for all departments, and the UI interface is relatively simple. There are multimedia buttons and knobs on the left and right sides of the screen, which is not friendly in terms of vehicle-mounted machine interconnection, and only supports Baidu CarPlay mobile phone interconnection. Below the central control panel is the air conditioning control panel, with clear division of functions and keys, which is very easy to use. The disadvantage is that the whole center console lacks a sense of design, and the button texture is relatively general.

The shape of the bar is also traditional, and the layout has the classic taste of lexus ES. The mechanical lever controls the 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and there are buttons such as driving mode adjustment, automatic parking, automatic start and stop, and electronic handbrake behind the lever. There is an open round cup holder and shield storage compartment on the right, and there is an open storage space in front, which can meet the daily storage needs together.

The interior space of the central armrest box is square and deep enough. There are two USB interfaces, Type-C interface and AUX interface, which can meet the power demand of different devices at the same time, and the functionality is very satisfactory.

The front seats are wrapped in leather+imitation leather, and the cushions and backrest are very full, ensuring the comfort of riding. The seat, backrest and door panel are sewn with special stripes to enhance the sense of luxury. Functionally, the main driver's seat supports front and rear, backrest, height (4-way) and waist (4-way) electric adjustment, and the co-pilot's seat supports front and rear, backrest adjustment, all of which are equipped with heating function. In addition, the co-pilot seat is also equipped with "boss key", which is convenient for the rear passengers to adjust at any time.

The rear seats are made of the same material as the front seats, with special stitches. It is also equipped with a foldable central armrest and two water cups for the convenience of passengers in the back row. Thanks to the leading 2870mm wheelbase at the same level, the space performance is excellent. Candy (height 175cm) has more than two fists in the head and legs, so there will be no sense of bondage.

The rear row is equipped with air conditioning air outlet, two USB interfaces and 220V power interface, which can meet the demand of both mobile phone electricity and vehicle-mounted electrical appliances. The disadvantage is that the platform has a certain degree of uplift, which is not very friendly to the legs of the middle passengers in the back row. ?

The roof is equipped with an openable panoramic electric skylight, which is very impressive in both lighting and opening area.

The trunk has a large space, especially the same depth, excellent width and relatively regular space. The rear seats support a ratio of 4:6, which can effectively expand the loading capacity. There are non-full-size spare tires and tire changing tools under the trunk floor for emergency use.

In terms of power, Asian Dragon has three power versions to choose from. The two pure gasoline engines are 2.0L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines respectively. The former has a maximum power of131kw (178ps) and a maximum torque of 2 10Nm, which matches the CVT with simulated rotation speed of 10. The latter has a maximum power of 154kW(209Ps) and a maximum torque of 250Nm, matching the 8-speed automatic manual transmission. In addition, a 2.5L twin-engine version is also available, with a comprehensive maximum power of 160kW(2 18Ps) and a comprehensive maximum torque of 22 1Nm, matching the electronic continuously variable transmission of E-CVT.

As for the chassis, the suspension combination of front McPherson independence and rear E-shaped multi-link independence is adopted, and the whole system adopts the front drive mode.

Brother Kan comments:

Although the popularity of Asian Dragon in China is not high, through the vigorous marketing of FAW Toyota, the sales volume has gradually increased, and the monthly sales volume has reached nearly 10,000 at the end of last year. This car is younger and more fashionable in appearance, larger in size than its competitors at the same level, and improved in handling on the basis of retaining Toyota's consistent easy driving. In terms of vehicle types, we think that we should either choose the aggressive version of 20 19 with the price of 199800 or the luxurious version of 20 19 with a certain configuration of 239800 yuan. The cost of car maintenance in the later period is relatively low, and the value of the 2.0L vehicle type is not great.
