Seeing this, some friends may ask, after the introduction, what is it? Is it made by FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota? ? What's the difference between the two joint ventures of Toyota? How to choose two sister models jointly produced? (For example, Carola and Lei Ling) Don't worry, we will share a wave with you today.
Or adopt the "two-car strategy" after domestic production?
According to the news exposed by Toyota's supplier Fuvian Road Tuo Company, they will provide production support for FAW Toyota's "94 1B" project, such as seats and door panels. The exposed model's name is "Heylia". Therefore, it can be inferred that the domestic model of FAW Toyota will officially be the overseas version of HARRIER.
In addition, some netizens inquired in China National Intellectual Property Administration that Toyota China registered the "FRONTLANDER" trademark. Its Chinese name is "Fenglanda". Coincidentally, the project under construction by GAC Toyota is code-named "942B". So we can basically draw a conclusion. That is, HARRIER will be put into production by FAW and GAC Toyota, named "Hailia" and "Fenglanda" respectively.
Then the problem is coming. Hailia and Fenglanda were both built on the prototype of the harrier style. Is it better to buy FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota? I dare not draw a conclusion now, because the model has not yet been listed. ? However, we can take the existing models as an example to do a wave of analysis to help you see how FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota should choose.
How to choose FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota?
Let's look at the factory first.
As one of the most senior joint ventures of Toyota brand in China, FAW Toyota has many factories. At present, they have factories in Chengdu, Tianjin and Changchun respectively. ? More factories means more production capacity and stronger production capacity.
GAC Toyota is a little younger. Their factory is located in Nansha District, Guangzhou, with an initial production capacity of 200,000 units/year. Although the strength is also very strong, it is still slightly worse than FAW Toyota. However, GAC Toyota is still very careful about its products. It was also awarded the title of "Toyota's most advanced factory in the world" by Toyota.
In addition, the quality control issues of FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota have also been controversial. ? I personally support the view that "GAC Toyota has good quality control". Not only because of the official title given by Toyota, but also because of several cars I have experienced privately, including Highlander, the overall experience is very good.
But it does not mean that the quality control of FAW Toyota is not good. Because of the brand Toyota, the reliability of the product itself is a big selling point. Last year's complaint list, FAW Toyota did not board the list. ? The reason why people think that their complaints are large is mainly related to sales volume. What if? In proportion, whether it is FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota, the reliability is very guaranteed.
FAW Toyota has a slightly larger number of dealers.
The number of channels for dealers is also one of the factors that affect our car purchase. After all, there are many stores, so it is more convenient for us to look at cars, buy cars and maintain them.
At present, the distributors of the two companies have basically covered every province and city in China, but there is still a certain gap in quantity. There are data showing? At present, the number of dealers of FAW Toyota has exceeded 675, while that of GAC Toyota is below 600. Yifeng still has certain advantages in this respect.
Of course. In different areas, it is still necessary to choose cars according to the actual situation and quantity. As for how to choose the model, let's talk about it below.
How to choose a model?
Let's take a look at what models FAW Toyota and GAC Toyota have. ? When you buy a car, don't go to the wrong 4S shop! )
It can be seen that Toyota's strategy is not the same as Volkswagen's, not to completely balance the two joint ventures. Like everyone else? If you want to buy a medium-sized SUV, you can only go to FAW Toyota to buy Prado. If you want to buy a medium-sized SUV, you can only choose Highlander. ? Although Asian Dragon and Camry are positioned as mid-level cars, their tonality and emphasis are different.
For many small partners, they may be entangled in those models that adopt the "two-car strategy". For example, Corolla and Lei Ling, RAV4 and Willanda. ? Then, let's take these cars as examples to see how to choose.
Corolla/Lei Ling
Two-car guide price:
FAW Toyota Corolla: 1 1.98 million-1.598 million
GAC Toyota Lei Ling:115800-152800.
Affected by factors such as the shape design of these two cars, many small partners will think that the size of Corolla is larger than that of Ralink. But in fact they are about the same size. ? Even in Lei Ling, it will take longer.
Body shape comparison
Secondly, the power parameters of these two cars are exactly the same, and there are also 1.2T models and 1.8L hybrid versions. ? So we mainly look at the gap from the perspective of configuration.
The entry-level model of Corolla is 4,000 yuan more expensive than Ralink, and the top model is 7,000 yuan more expensive than Ralink. ? But when people buy a car, they often consider the probability of matching models, so we will also choose two matching models to compare and see.
By comparison, we can see that Corolla's configuration is more comfortable, but Lei Ling's parking radar and LED headlights are obviously more practical, and the price is also 2000 yuan cheaper. ? Therefore, I personally think that Lei Ling performs better in terms of cost performance.
Let's take a look at RAV4 of FAW Toyota and Willanda of GAC Toyota.
RAV4/ Willanda
Two-car guide price:
FAW Toyota RAV 4: 174800-258800
Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda:1718000-2418000.
The situation of RAV4 and Willanda is the same as the above two models, with little difference in body size and consistent power system.

However, the RAV4 of FAW Toyota will be more expensive than the Willanda of GAC Toyota regardless of the starting price or the price of the top model. Of course. This is related to the manufacturer's model equipment, because Willanda only has a 2.5L hybrid four-wheel drive model with a guide price of 240,800. The four-wheel drive model of RAV4 can be more selective.
The difference between the two is the unique configuration. Personally, I think RAV4 is 2000 yuan more expensive, but the seat heating and 360 panoramic image will be better in terms of comfort. Wiranda's front and rear radar and navigation still make more efforts in practicality.
Through the comparison of the above two groups, it can be seen that Toyota brand will adopt the two-car strategy for the two joint ventures. But apart from the shape design, there is not much difference in configuration. Maybe FAW Toyota is in "comfortable configuration"? Slightly rich, while GAC Toyota pays more attention to "practical configuration".
