Introduction: FAW Toyota's version of Highlander may be named "Lu Ze" or "Lu Fang", and the name and trademark have been exposed! Let’s find out below.
Recently, FAW Toyota registered two new model names, Luze and Lufang. Previously, FAW Toyota stated that it would introduce a B-class SUV. This "B-class SUV" is a new medium-sized SUV with the same platform and level as the Highlander. The new car may be named Luze or Lufang, which will perfectly fill the gap of FAW Toyota's long-standing mid-sized SUV. SUV market layout.
The new generation of Toyota Highlander comes from the GA-K platform under Toyota's TNGA architecture. According to the "dual-car strategy" of FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota, after it is launched in China in 2020, the FAW Toyota version of "Highland "Da" will compete with GAC Toyota Highlander on the same stage to jointly seize the domestic mid-level SUV market share.
At last year's New York Auto Show, Toyota's new fourth-generation Highlander, which is based on the TNGA-K platform, was unveiled. The new car adopts a new family-style design that is more domineering and tough. On the basis of the tall and burly appearance of the current Toyota Highlander, the body lines are more trendy and dynamic. The exaggerated front face shape and sharp LED headlights complement each other, showing the style of a fashionable mid-size SUV in every aspect.
In terms of interior design, the new generation Toyota Highlander adopts Toyota’s latest family-style central control layout design, with more distinct layers, exquisite details and workmanship, and a large suspended central control screen + three-frame multi-function The steering wheel is not only convenient and practical to operate, but also creates a good fashionable and technological atmosphere. In terms of seat layout, the overseas version of Highlander has two options: 7-seater and 8-seater. In terms of space, the storage space after the third row of the new Highlander is folded reaches 1150L.
In terms of power, the overseas version of the new Toyota Highlander is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine with a maximum power of 295 horsepower and a maximum torque of 368 Nm, matched with an 8AT gearbox. The overseas version of the new Toyota Highlander also has a hybrid version, equipped with a 2.5L engine + 2 electric motors, with a combined maximum power of 240 horsepower, and a four-wheel drive model.
Summary: I think there is a high probability that FAW Toyota’s new mid-sized SUV will use the new car name “Lu Ze”. After all, this can inherit the “excellent” genes of FAW Toyota Land Cruiser and make people recognize it. It sounds like the product of the merger of the first two, recreating FAW Toyota's "legendary SUV story".
