The advantages and disadvantages of Toyota Reiz

Advantages:

1. Generous appearance - a sports car model. Judging from the appearance and dimensions, the Reiz is not a big guy. Its length is only 4720mm, which is shorter than this generation of Camry. , the car width is also slightly inferior, and it seems to lack the domineering power of Teana and Accord, but as long as you take a closer look with a professional eye, you can find the extraordinary features of Reiz: the 2850mm ultra-long wheelbase almost takes up the entire On the side of the body, the front overhang is extremely short and the front end is relatively slender. The Reiz was originally a standard front-engine rear-wheel drive model. Its chassis actually uses the same front-engine rear-wheel drive as the Crown and Lexus GS (it can be upgraded to four-wheel drive). Drive) platform, the wheelbases of these cars are exactly the same, and the wheelbases are also similar to each other. Therefore, the level of the Reiz is actually above the Camry and below the Crown. Its market positioning is quite special, and it is more youthful and sporty< /p>

2. Good transmission - Ruizhi's V6 engine and 6AT gearbox really work together perfectly. From starting to accelerating to high-speed driving, you won't feel any friction. In the same level of mid-to-high-end It is one of the best among sedans;

3. Worthy of being called a sports car version, Reizhi is the only FR (front-engine, rear-drive) sedan in its class, with both power and handling being FF ( It is unmatched by front-wheel drive) cars, allowing more ordinary people to feel the driving pleasure of this FR sports car;

4. Light engine sound--the engine sound of Ruizhi is light, no matter you Whether you walk outside the car or sit in the car, you can't feel that the car has started;

5. Low fuel consumption - Reizhi's fuel consumption is still acceptable. It inherits Toyota's tradition of fuel saving, and generally Staying between 10-11 liters (city fuel consumption), which is quite good for a V6 engine;

6. Exquisite interior - quite exquisite, simple center console, luxurious The central armrest area of ????all shows the workmanship of Japanese cars; the visual effect is very good, the dark instrument panel is paired with a silver center console, which sets the tone of sporty fashion. There is nothing outstanding in the shape, it all depends on the details. Carefully designed to enhance the atmosphere. When night falls and you turn on the lights, you will find the unique charm of the Reizhi cabin. LED light-emitting diodes are used as cold light sources throughout the car, and the light blue light creates an elegant and fresh alluring style; the interior is of good quality, with excellent materials and workmanship. It's very good. The domestic Corolla and even the imported Camry have a generation gap with the Ruizhi in this regard. It's really not easy to find fault with it. In addition, Reizhi has also made a difference in terms of humanized design. Not only does the steering wheel have audio control functions, but front-seat passengers can also control it through the buttons on the door. The functional operation area of ??our test car also uses a color touch screen, which can be directly controlled on the door. You can control various systems such as air conditioning, entertainment, navigation, etc. by clicking on the screen. This is a step further than the mouse operation method of BMW iDrive. However, it is estimated that this equipment must be expensive and should only be available on high-end models. Appear.

7. The control is light and balanced, with a certain degree of driving pleasure and full consideration of driving comfort. The front-rear-drive chassis design gives Reizhi a good sporty flair, and it is easier to achieve balance in terms of center of gravity distribution. The manufacturer claims that its front-to-rear axle load ratio reaches 54:46. When we attack corners, we feel that Reizhi's steering is indeed towards the center. It is not as top-heavy as a front-wheel drive vehicle and is more prone to sideslip. In the pile-circling test, the suspension also showed satisfactory support and recovery capabilities. The posture and route of the car are easy to control. In fact, the suspension adjustment of Reiz is softer than that of the MARKX sold in Japan. In order to ensure greater ground clearance, the body has also been raised by 10mm as a precaution, and the sporty character has been slightly disguised. For daily driving, the suspension of the Reiz is relatively comfortable and has very good shock absorption capabilities. If you want to ask from a sports perspective, the steering force of Reiz seems to be too light and lacks the stability of European cars. However, its steering wheel pointing is still very precise, and the front double wishbone and rear multi-link independent suspension can maintain the direction of high-speed driving. It's stable and has no wavy feeling, which is better than the older generation Toyota cars. At the same time, the braking is also very sensitive, and the linear pedal force makes it easy to adapt.

Disadvantages:

1. As an FR sedan, it is a bit depressing to not have VSC and TRC. Although additional models are now available, they are only on 2.5V. Adding VSC and TRC, the 2.5S is still not there (a very big challenge for impulsive and passionate young people).

2. The chassis noise is relatively loud, especially on rainy days. The sound of pebbles on the ground hitting the chassis is quite loud, which is a bit annoying. Is this a characteristic of dynamic cars? 6 is the same;

3. There was an oil leakage problem - although it has been solved now, it is really inappropriate for a big brother like FAW to make such low-level mistakes

4. The key design is defective---the trunk button is easy to sink in, and no compensation will be given;

5. The interior is defective--although the interior is exquisite, it is not as good as Unsatisfactory aspects, such as the uneven height of the left and right audio covers above the center console;

6. The exhaust pipe is easy to rust;

7. The rear seat space is small. It is basically only suitable for two adults of moderate size;

Although Reizhi has a lot of shortcomings, I think when buying a car, first look at the engine, secondly look at the gearbox, and thirdly look at the chassis. It should be said that the advantages of Reizhi are far greater. It far outweighs its shortcomings. Generally speaking, Ruizhi should be relatively cost-effective. Buying an FR sedan for more than 200,000 yuan is indeed the first of its kind in the domestic mid- to high-end sedan market.

About FR

Reizhi uses front-wheel drive technology, referred to as FR, which is generally only used on high-end cars, such as BMW 325, 530; Crown; Mercedes-Benz and other more luxurious brands . FR technology is the biggest selling point of Ruizhi.

Advantages:

Front-wheel drive means front-engine rear-wheel drive. The front wheels are responsible for steering and the rear wheels are responsible for steering. The entire vehicle drive works. In this drive mode, all the power output from the engine is sent to the rear transaxle, driving the rear wheels to move the car forward. In other words, in actual driving, the rear wheels "pushe" the front wheels, driving the vehicle forward. Compared with other two-wheel drive driving, front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive have greater adhesion pressure on the drive wheels when starting, accelerating or climbing on good roads, and the traction is obviously better than that of front-wheel drive. At the same time, models using front-wheel drive also have good handling stability and ride smoothness, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the tires.

Disadvantages:

First of all, front-wheel drive vehicles are more expensive in terms of cost, which determines that they cannot be widely adopted in mid-level cars. In addition, the biggest disadvantage of front-wheel drive vehicles is that due to the existence of the transmission shaft, the middle of the interior floor is raised, which affects the space and layout of the vehicle. It also increases the weight of the vehicle. The additional transmission shaft increases power loss. , affecting fuel economy. When the vehicle starts accelerating on snowy or slippery roads, the rear wheels push the vehicle body, making tail swinging more likely to occur.
