What about Highlander? Is it worth buying?

Highlander is a medium-sized SUV owned by GAC Toyota, which is in a benchmark position in many people's minds and has high market recognition. At present, its competing products mainly include Ford Explorer, Honda Crown Road and SAIC Volkswagen Touran, but Highlander's status is obviously higher. So is it worth buying? Let's analyze its advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, let's talk about its shortcomings, as follows:

1. Loud engine sound: The owner of Highlander said that when accelerating, the noise generated by engine operation is relatively loud, which can be obviously transmitted to the car. But under the pure electric drive, the driving noise of Highlander can be ignored.

2. The high-speed power is slightly poor: Highlander is equipped with a 2.5L self-priming engine with the highest horsepower 192Ps. If you change to an ordinary car, this power is already very good, but Highlander's self-weight is about two tons, plus drivers and passengers and some items, high-speed driving is slightly insufficient. I think if Highlander's power can be stronger, it will attract SUV enthusiasts, but it will be good to drive in the urban area.

3, the car system is relatively old-fashioned: now many vehicles are very diversified in the car system, and various service functions are relatively complete. Highlander's low-profile cars are more common, and some car owners say that there will be a little touch delay when using them, which will make it appear insufficient in the competition at the same level.

Of course, as a benchmark for medium-sized SUVs, Highlander also has many advantages, as follows:

1, low fuel consumption: Thanks to the hybrid electric system of Highlander, even if it is heavy, the fuel consumption generated by driving 100 kilometers will not be very high. The official NEDC fuel consumption of Highlander is 5.3~5.8L, and the actual fuel consumption of many car owners is about 6~8L. I think the low fuel consumption of vehicles can well reduce some consumers' purchase concerns.

2. Comfortable space: As a medium-sized SUV, Highlander has ample seating space and trunk storage space. Although some car owners say that the comfort of the third row seats is slightly worse, most of the time the space in the third row is used to put things, so I think it doesn't matter if the comfort is slightly lower.

3, the appearance of the atmosphere: Highlander's appearance looks very atmospheric and calm, giving people a solid and reliable feeling. I believe that few SUV enthusiasts don't like Highlander's body design. Of course, for some consumers, Highlander may be considered more fleshy.

Summary:

As the benchmark of medium-sized SUV, Highlander is worth considering buying, but the price is relatively high, which is not a small expense for many families. At present, the discount is around several thousand yuan, but the stores in different places may be different, so it is best to take the local as the standard when considering the purchase price.
