In addition, because Chongqing is a city built on the mountain, the terrain is like a rolling hill, and most of the houses are on the hillside, so it is also called "mountain city". Some people say that many roads in Chongqing are one-way streets. Going the wrong way and turning around won't solve the problem, so try not to drive when you go to Chongqing. However, the big coffee found that it is often some complicated routes, but some car companies choose to engage in test drive activities. This time, the big coffee set foot in Chongqing again, or because of the test drive.
As the saying goes, "In the end, there will be a road, and there will be a Toyota." This time, the challenge to Mountain City is Willanda and Highlander, who are known as the "Randa Brothers". During the test drive, Daka tested two cars for three consecutive days, challenging the complicated route in Chongqing. What will happen when two brothers meet in the "mountain city"? Let's take a look.
Wilanda leads the way.
As soon as the plane landed in Chongqing, we started a three-day test drive from the airport. First of all, we were accompanied by the newly listed brother "Wilanda". I believe everyone is no stranger to this brand-new SUV. We have introduced its overall design style before, so I won't go into details here. Interested riders can click on the link to view:
The fuel consumption of 5 liters per 100 kilometers is also equipped with a four-wheel drive, and the SUV of 200,000 class has another good choice!
Is it really a chicken rib to buy a four-wheel drive for an urban SUV? You picked the wrong car!
Willanda has two powertrains, namely the fuel version of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine +CVT gearbox and the dual-engine version of 2.5L engine +ECVT. The model of the big coffee test drive is dual-engine 2.5L? ECVT two-wheel drive technology version, because Toyota's hybrid system is the output characteristic of the motor, in daily urban working conditions, the speed-up ability of the Willanda dual-engine version exceeds the expectations of the big coffees, whether in the initial stage or in the middle of acceleration.
Willanda inherited the advantages of TNGA models, with low center of gravity and high rigidity. The rear suspension adopts a brand-new "double wishbone independent suspension", and the chassis performance is moderate. When passing through some small bumps, the suspension filters the vibration thoroughly, and it can also perform well when encountering big bumps, without too many aftershocks. When cornering at high speed, the suspension can also provide good support and give the driver enough confidence in cornering.
Moreover, the Willanda twin-engine also provides three driving modes, namely ECO/NORMAL/SPORT, and the gearbox also provides S gear, which can adapt to the driving habits of different drivers and increase driving pleasure on the road.
The official comprehensive fuel consumption of this 2.5L twin-engine model is 4.7L, and the maximum cruising range can reach 1000 km. Although the mountain city will pass through the Panshan Highway, the comprehensive fuel consumption is well controlled, at around 7L.
Big coffee thinks that there is another more comfortable aspect of the dual-engine model, that is, NVH is better than the gasoline version. When the vehicle is started, it will have a relatively quiet comfort because it is driven by pure electricity. Of course, as the speed increases, the sound of the engine will come immediately. If you want to overtake, the engine will be louder, but the engine noise and road noise are controlled within an acceptable range.
In addition, the test drive passed through some foggy and rainy sections. In addition to the foggy mountain roads, big coffees are trying to drive Toyota TSS? Zhixing safety system 2.0 adaptive cruise. Although this auxiliary driving system can't compare with L2 and L3 automatic driving systems in other high-rise buildings, it is still quite practical for adaptive cruising on the expressway, and it can accurately detect the distance between vehicles in the case of heavy rain, effectively reducing the driver's driving fatigue. In addition, as an adaptive cruise system in full speed domain, it can even be used on uncomplicated urban roads.
As a hybrid SUV, Willanda's twin engines deal with complex road conditions in the "mountain city", which can be described as effortless, comfortable and sporty. It may be a bit difficult on the way up the mountain, but if you are willing to step on the accelerator deeply, it will take you to your destination.
Highlander combines rigidity with softness.
On the trip, our colleague also had another brother, the familiar Highlander. As the best-selling SUV model in the market, Highlander has always stood in the market with its strength. Although the Highlander of the new TNGA has not yet been listed, GAC Toyota has launched the Knight Edition on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of localization, which is positioned between the deluxe edition and the distinguished edition. This time, I also challenged the trip to "Mountain City".
Compared with other models of the current Highlander, the overall change of the Knight Edition is not big, and the brand-new blackened appearance kit and golden eye headlight design are also the places where the appearance changes greatly. A black roof and luggage rack have been added to the side of the car body. 19? "The five-spoke rim is also blackened, and the cool black side door pedal is also a unique configuration of the Knight Edition, giving it the characteristics of a hard-core SUV? It also feels convenient for passengers to get on and off. There are even fewer changes in the car, but black wooden decorative plates are added in the door panel and the co-pilot instrument panel area, which slightly improves the texture of the cockpit.
In terms of power, the Knight Edition is still equipped with a 2.0T D-4ST turbocharged engine. In terms of transmission system, the engine still matches the familiar 6AT? Gearbox. Driving the Highlander Knight Edition will be a bit slow on urban roads, and the start will be a bit slow because of the heavy body weight. However, the performance on the expressway is completely different. When stepping on the accelerator deeply, the acceleration is more sensitive and the overtaking action can be easily completed.
If you want to cross some uphill sections, Highlander Knight Edition can also provide good torque output and smooth power output. Strong torque output makes climbing easy. Similarly, Highlander also matches TTS? 2.0 zhixing security system. When running at high speed, big coffees use this security system almost all the time. Even in heavy rain, you can keep a safe distance from the car in front, making the journey easier and safer.
Big coffee summary
After three days and two nights of test drive, I got to know Chongqing again, and I also got to know the "Randa Brothers" again. When "Brother Lan Da" meets the "mountain city" of Chongqing, it can be said that it is a combination of two swords and meets difficulties. The same is true of the performance of two explosive SUVs on the market. Besiege all kinds of new cars in the big market, stand on tiptoe in the market with strength, and provide two hot-selling product choices for consumers with different positioning.
