Land cruisers have a history of more than 60 years. Its predecessor was born for military use, and then slowly evolved into an all-terrain off-road vehicle for field exploration. Today, there are still many 80 series land cruisers in western China, with a mileage of over 500,000 kilometers or even 6,543.8+0,000 kilometers, which have not been overhauled. Therefore, leather is durable and has strong off-road performance, so it is popular.
Land cruisers also have a domineering name, that is, land cruisers. Are they all Toyota land? Cruiser The difference between a car of the same car and a car is that the new and old models are called differently. In 2003, FAW Toyota introduced the land cruiser to China, and in 2007, the land was replaced in China. Cruiser 200 went on the market, and it was this time that the domineering "land cruiser" was renamed "land cruiser", which also caused a lot of controversy.
It is reported that the new generation of land cruisers is expected to be listed as early as July and August this year. Based on Toyota's latest TNGA architecture, what changes will be made? Let's see if the brand-new land cruiser can defend its position as the "king of four-wheel drive" with Brother Guan Shui.
1.？ Modeling design of "slimming and fitness"
Judging from the renderings of exposure, the appearance changes are still divided into times. The new model "swells" the solid appearance of the current model. The heavy chrome-plated strip enhances the metallic feeling of the front face, adds a U-shaped radiator, enhances the hard-core atmosphere, and sharpens the rectangular lattice LED headlights. It still looks like a "tough guy", more luxurious than it is now.
From the side, the muscle feeling of the whole car is still preserved, and the tail basically continues the current design without obvious changes. Mainly to adjust the taillights. Dot matrix light source looks more recognizable, and multiple wheels with special-shaped wheel eyebrows look thicker. Brother Guan Shui thinks that if the style of cash is more suitable for desert Gobi, the appearance of the brand-new land cruiser is closer to modern cities and suburban mountain villages.
2.？ New changes brought by TNGA architecture
Brand-new platform architecture, in addition to the new face value, the size has also changed. It is reported that the length and height have decreased, the width has increased by 10mm, and the wheelbase has remained unchanged at 2850mm, so the spatial change will not change much. Previously, land cruisers had been arranged in eight 2+3+3 rows. It is also reported that this replacement is expected to increase by 5 versions, but it has not yet been officially certified.
Another change is that the chassis will be redesigned, and the non-loaded body structure of trapezoidal girder will still be retained. Lightweight upgrade will be the focus, power performance will be more compact, and fuel consumption is expected to decrease. Although the land patrol has the title of off-road artifact, its high fuel consumption is also one of its shortcomings. However, in the eyes of many car owners, this frightening fuel consumption is worthy of its title of warrior. In terms of configuration, in addition to maintaining the hard-core off-road function, more practical and safe configurations will follow.
3.？ Brand new power engine
The trend of power is the focus of attention. After the replacement, it is expected to give up the 5.7L large displacement V8 self-priming engine and replace it with 3.5T? V6 twin-turbo engine matching 10 speed automatic transmission, compared with 4.6L? The overall book data of V8 self-priming engine is still inferior, which will disappoint some consumers.
In terms of engine displacement, Land Cruiser dropped from 5.7 to 4.7L to 4.6L and 4.0L, and then dropped to 3.5T after replacement, and the displacement dropped again and again. Under the increasingly strict emission standards in the world, large-displacement engines have to be "retired", which is also a helpless move. V8 finally feels after making sacrifices for the times.
Written in the last words:
Compared with competing products, Land Rover found that the positioning was biased towards urbanization after switching to a load-bearing body, and the new land cruiser had more advantages in chassis rigidity and impact resistance. Compared with Le Tu, Le Tu, which is imported in parallel, is still the country's fifth emission, which may be a big plus for Land Cruiser. Generally speaking, the new land cruiser still has a competitive advantage. Under the new TNGA framework, the improvement of vehicle reliability is worth looking forward to.
As we all know, in addition to excellent off-road ability, Land Cruiser is also outstanding in quality, durability and reliability. Although the power is slightly inferior after replacement, the face value, configuration, fuel consumption and even price are closer to the needs of the general public. The more modern the land cruiser, do you want it to enter China as soon as possible?
