As one of Toyota's best-selling SUV models in the Japanese market, Harrier has attracted the attention of many domestic consumers with its excellent design, rich configuration, and excellent powertrain, and calls for its introduction have also emerged. Never stops. Today (May 6), "Cheyiquan" learned from the Trademark Office of the State Intellectual Property Office that GAC Toyota submitted the trademark registration information for "Fenglanda". It is reported that this car, as a sister model of Harrier, is also built on the TNGA-K high-end platform and is positioned between the Wilanda and Highlander. It is also a new SUV model that GAC Toyota will introduce domestically.
Trademark application submission
China is Toyota's most important overseas market. In recent years, Toyota has also introduced many new models, such as the newly launched Wilanda and the mid-level sedan Toyota's Camry, the acclaimed Avalon, and the all-new Highlander that will soon be introduced in China. With the arrival of new cars, Toyota's model layout in the Chinese market will also become increasingly complete. Judging from the registration information exposed this time, GAC Toyota has officially submitted a trademark registration application for "Fenglanda" on January 2 this year. With the disclosure of information, the trademark "Fenglanda" is expected to become the Chinese name of Harrier's sister model. By then, GAC Toyota's SUV product matrix will become stronger and stronger.
The new design is more fashionable
Referring to the previously exposed official pictures, it can be clearly seen that the new Harrier continues Toyota's latest family-style design language, with a smooth body shape and RAV4 There is a sharper contrast between Rongfang and Highlander. The overall shape is more sporty and even has a hint of coupe SUV. Different from the old model, the new car also replaces the original exclusive flying eagle logo with Toyota's unified bull head logo style, which also looks more fashionable.
Based on the models introduced by GAC Toyota in the past, Quan Ge predicts that Fenglanda will make certain adjustments to the front face of the new Harrier in details in the future, and the internal changes should not be too big.
Using the same platform as the new Highlander
According to "Che Yiquan", which ranks among the top ten in the country, Fenglanda will use the same TNGA-K high-end technology as the new Highlander. Built on a platform, not only the vehicle structure is safer than the old model, but the interior space is also more advantageous. Referring to the size data of the new Harrier (length, width and height 4740/1855/1660 mm, wheelbase 2690 mm), Brother Quan believes that the size will not change much after Fenglanda is made in China, and the comfortable and spacious rear space will still be the peak. One of Landa's main selling points is also in line with its positioning as a high-end SUV.
The interior design is rich in luxurious configurations
Although the interior pictures of Fenglanda have not been exposed, please refer to the interiors of the two sister models of FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and GAC Toyota Wilanda. design. Brother Quan believes that in the future, there will not be too obvious a difference in the interiors of the domestically produced rear Landas and Harriers. After all, too many changes will also increase the molding costs caused by the differentiation of new cars. This is not in line with Toyota's consistent policy. practice. It is foreseeable that the same luxurious interior and fine workmanship materials as Harrier will also become a major selling point of Fenglanda in the future.
In addition, Harrier’s main technology configuration will most likely become another highlight of Fenglanda. Referring to the configuration of the overseas version of Harrier, the new car will be equipped with an 8-inch central control screen and a 6-speaker entertainment system as standard. At the same time, the new car will also provide the Toyota Safety Sense active safety package that Wilanda is already equipped with, which includes lane departure assist, full-speed adaptive cruise, adaptive high/low beam, anti-collision warning, road sign recognition, blind spot monitoring and other functions . If it’s not cool enough, check out the optional 12.3-inch central control screen, 9-speaker JBL audio, Connect SD navigation, and streaming media rearview mirror!
After all, it is equipped with a new platform, so Quan Ge expects that Fenglanda will also provide two powertrains: gasoline and hybrid. Among them, the fuel version is expected to use a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum horsepower of 171 horsepower.
The hybrid model will be equipped with Toyota's latest 2.5L THS II hybrid system, with a combined maximum power of 218 horsepower. According to "Cheyiquan", these two power systems have been widely used in many domestic Toyota and Lexus models, and the hybrid version will also provide four-wheel drive options, which can greatly meet the needs of different consumers.
View from "Che Yiquan": Judging from the exposure of trademark application information and Toyota's past process of introducing new cars, GAC Toyota's domestically produced Fenglanda is already a certainty, and North and South Toyota will also form a joint effort in the future By introducing Harrier sister models, *** will develop mid- to high-end SUVs that are currently in a blank market and further improve the product matrix of the TNGA family. In terms of price, considering that Fenglanda is positioned between Weilanda and Highlander, Quan Ge predicts that the price of new cars in the future is expected to be between 180,000 and 240,000 yuan.
