A joke about making glass water

In China, you don't have to know Volkswagen Touran or Kia Souranto to talk about the well-known seven-seat medium-sized SUV, but you must know: Toyota Highlander! Under Toyota, Highlander should belong to the kind of car that doesn't need advertising at all. Since all imports landed in China in 2007, the reputation and quality have never disappointed consumers, and the market popularity has steadily increased. Known as the benchmark model in the medium-sized SUV industry!

Highlander not only sells well, but also sells higher. A car is hard to find! Its competitors range from Ford Sharp to Honda Crown Road to Volkswagen Touran. At present, there are basically no people at the same level who can shake its position! Then why is Highlander so powerful? I have to admire the quality of Toyota cars. Some riders said: "In addition to normal maintenance, you only need to do two things. One, remember to refuel. Second, replenish glass water regularly. " Although this is just a joke, it is an extreme recognition of the quality of Highlander! Excellent quality means that maintenance costs are no longer needed. Then compared with this, Highlander will save more money later. Coupled with low maintenance costs, it has strengthened consumers' determination to buy Highlander, which is also the main reason for its popularity in the market. Secondly, its space, both height and length, is very good. For a 200-kg fat man, even sitting in the last row, leg space is ok, let alone the first and second rows. Coupled with the economic fuel consumption performance, many car owners said that Highlander's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 1 1 oil. It is really cost-effective and economical for a seven-seat medium-sized SUV like this to have such fuel consumption performance. So, who do you choose to replace it?

The popularity of the old models is still very high, and Toyota can't wait to catch up with other car companies as soon as possible. It may be that many car companies are developing their own new products now, and with the arrival of the New Year, Toyota finally couldn't help it in 2020 and wanted to make some big moves! No, since the second half of last year, rumors of Highlander replacement have frequently appeared on the Internet. However, by 2020, the new Highlander has officially appeared in North America! This brand-new Highlander has undergone a thorough transformation, changing the over-urbanization appearance of previous models, adding fresh elements and adding a touch of wildness. At the same time, the new Toyota TNGA architecture is adopted for production design, and the performance and quality have been obviously improved. So I advise people over 40 not to buy it, because such a young and fashionable Highlander will not be your dish!

The front face of the new Highlander abandoned the old big mouth design style and replaced it with a lattice air intake grille element that was half smaller. For the first time, two horizontal chrome trim strips of Flying Wing were used to set off Toyota's huge tauren logo. The overall look is very young and fashionable, which is in line with the trend aesthetics of the current models.

The length, width and height of the new car are 4950* 1925* 1720mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2790mm. Compared with the old model, the new model is longer and wider, but the height is reduced, so the whole body looks more slender. The body further creates a sense of layering and muscle through the double waistline, especially the rear fender has a better three-dimensional effect, giving people a very "strong" feeling and full of strength! In addition, ABC columns are all designed in black, creating the feeling of a cantilevered roof.

This time, the tail of Highlander adopts a brand-new taillight shape, and the long and narrow shape echoes the headlights. Although there are no penetrating taillights used by some brands, the overall area is not small and looks very atmospheric. At the same time, there is a big fender at the bottom of the rear bumper of the new car, which has a strong off-road atmosphere. It is worth mentioning that the high match will be equipped with 20-inch wheels, providing 8 body colors, and adding 5 colors of magnetic gray, metallic color, moon gray, ruby and amber brown. However, all this is to make Highlander younger!

When you open the door, you can feel that the interior seems to be less obvious than the appearance, because the overall layout of the interior has not changed, but it has become more realistic in terms of materials and configuration. The new Highlander has added an LCD instrument panel and an 8-inch/12.3-inch suspended central control panel. The interior uses a lot of leather instead of the old hard plastic, and the overall texture is greatly improved. Although the interior under TNGA architecture is very similar to the new RAV4, this screen of Highlander is not as abrupt as RAV4, and some netizens jokingly call it a "fly swatter". Do you think it's appropriate after seeing the picture? In addition, the configuration continues the fine tradition of the Toyota family. The whole system comes standard with 8 airbags, ESP, tire pressure monitoring, front and rear radar, reversing image, one-button start, adaptive cruise and panoramic sunroof. , fully embodies the good conscience.

Leapfrog space performance has always been the most proud place of Highlander, and this new Highlander continues this tradition. In addition to the 7-seat layout, the overseas version also adopts 8-seat layout. The floor is completely flat. In order to take care of the rear passengers, the second and third rows are equipped with automatic air conditioning. In addition, more importantly, in terms of price, the new car is pre-sold overseas by 3.5L? The starting price of V6 gasoline model is $34,600 (about RMB242,400). Compared with the previous models, the starting price has increased by 2770 USD (about 1.94 million RMB). The starting price of the 2.5L hybrid model is $38,200 (about RMB267,700). From the perspective of price positioning, it is actually not much different from the price of the current Highlander. As for the price after entering China, we can only wait and see.

The American version of Highlander still uses 3.5L power, and the domestic engine will still use 2.0T in order to meet the emission standards. Referring to the newly listed RAV4, Highlander may also have a 2.5L hybrid car. At present, the new Highlander has been officially listed in North America. As for the domestic listing time? I'm sure it's not far away.

As the leader of Toyota medium-sized SUV, Highlander's strength is beyond doubt. In the domestic market, it has always been a classic case of putting all your eggs in one basket, which has been imitated and never surpassed! And this replacement is absolutely the same. After all, everyone who went on the field proved to be immovable! Coupled with the brand-new Highlander, people have seen more sincerity. It is no longer synonymous with middle-aged greasy men, and its change can be regarded as conforming to the trend. After all, the main car buyers nowadays are young people, and young fashion sports are their common pursuit. In fact, as long as you are young, you can buy it after 40 years old!
