I remember driving to Lei Ling that day, which was the youth I missed.

Levin, the famous AE86 also used this name, but at that time it was the rear-drive coupe version of the Corolla model family. Therefore, Japanese young people in the 1980s were keen on refitting, drifting and racing. Tuohai's prototype drifting house was once one of them, and he collected an extremely precious 86.

Maybe he looked at more and more electronic cars and muttered, "I think of running in the sunset that day, it was my lost youth ..."

▲ In honor of 86 years, I drove a Lei Ling to the mountains for nostalgia. The warm-blooded young people in those days are all uncles now, and they are still unfinished when they recall the days when they used to get along with 86.

Today's Lei Ling is a predecessor model, only Levin's name is left, which is not the same model as the drift car of that year. It's like retiring Wen Tai, becoming the owner of a Buddha tofu shop, and keeping a house is home. However, such a change is also the way for automobile enterprises to survive. After all, you can't live by your ideals, but the daily necessities are real.

Although it is positioned as a family car, it is far from the setting of the rear-drive street sports car. Fortunately, Lei Ling's driving quality has not been compromised blindly. For example, the chassis of the new model is obviously lower than that of the old model, and the lower center of gravity is conducive to handling. The purpose of steering directly echoes the steering of the front of the car. However, personally, I think that the power performance is not outstanding. When the engine speed is raised to more than 3000 rpm, the noise of entering the cabin can be clearly heard.

The brand-new Lei Ling is the product of Toyota's latest TNGA-C frame, and the strength and rigidity of the car body have been improved. In particular, the rear suspension adopts double wishbone structure instead of the torsion beam structure of the previous generation, and the comfort is naturally remarkable. As for the seating space in the back row, it is quite satisfactory, which will not make you feel wronged or give you unexpected surprises.

Lei Ling's hybrid system still uses the previous generation THS? II. The combination of 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor can still achieve an average fuel consumption of 5 liters -6 liters per 100 kilometers, although it cannot achieve the "abnormal" fuel economy like the new RAV4. For the economical car at this price, it has achieved the purpose of saving fuel.

The technology version of our test drive has a unique vertical big screen and HUD configuration, which looks quite cool, but I don't think the feedback and speed of the big screen are more prominent than that of the mobile phone, but the sense of technology will indeed be stronger.

Finally, I like the appearance very much. The front wheel eyebrows protrude slightly outward, which is a bit wide. In addition, there are three LED light sources on both sides and daytime running lights with eyebrows. Compared with corolla, it's really fierce.

To tell the truth, no one has a dream of 86. Only today, Levin is just a memory. The hot-blooded teenager who ran the mountain also went home to raise children, and Buddhism rocked. I really need a family car like Lei Ling to pick up my wife and children and occasionally recall the past when I was young. And excellent. ...
