It doesn’t require major repairs until it’s scrapped. It’s even more stylish than the Audi Q7, and it’s still a hit after ten years in China. When people think of joint venture mid-size SUVs, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the Tiguan L and Highlander. Judging from the sales volume, it has a sales volume of 188,495 The Tiguan L with annual sales in Taiwan is undoubtedly the benchmark among joint venture mid-size SUVs, but in fact, Highlander's position among joint venture mid-size SUVs is still unshakable. After all, Tiguan L is a quasi-new car launched in 2017, while Highlander Landa has been launched in China in 2009, and the total number of copies is still higher than Highlander! Why is Highlander so popular? In my humble opinion, there are two factors. First, thanks to Toyota's strong brand power, its position in the minds of consumers is irreplaceable. As long as its products are not particularly bad, it can always attract the public to pay for them; second, Hanlan Da's own product strength is also hard-core enough. The appearance is domineering yet sporty. When driven out, the aura is not inferior to that of the Audi Q7. The concepts of space, safety, configuration, power, and workmanship are all at the same level. Let's look at its data. The Highlander's body length, width and height are 4890mm, 1925mm, and 1720mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2790mm. The size parameters of a standard mid-level SUV are relatively spacious in terms of space. The new car has 5 or 7 seats to choose from. Panoramic sunroof, roof rack, interior ambient lighting, rear automatic air conditioning, air purification, rear armrests and other configurations are dedicated to creating a comfortable and warm drive. environment. The new-generation Highlander is also turning heads. The vehicle's styling adheres to the family-style design language, focusing on youthfulness and sportiness. The inverted trapezoidal front air grille takes up almost a quarter of the entire front face. Third, the sharp eagle-eye LED headlights on both sides are connected to the grille, and are embellished with silver chrome-plated grille, showing a sense of exquisiteness. The tail and side are of a more attractive type. The slender body, starfish-style aluminum alloy wheels, and looming waistline echo each other, making the three-dimensional layering on the side more distinct. The layout of the central control is relatively traditional, with pure black as the main color and silver chrome strips as embellishments. A large number of soft materials make everything in the car soft and classy. In addition, the new car is very generous in terms of configuration. The whole series comes standard with 8 airbags, tire pressure monitoring, ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping, merging assist, collision warning/active braking, panoramic camera and other configurations. Therefore, Isn’t the safety performance better than that of Audi Q5L? Finally, let’s look at the power system. The entire Highlander series is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 Nm. The transmission is matched with a 6-speed manual transmission. box. In addition, mid-to-high-end models also have timely four-wheel drive as an option, and the suspension system is a combination of MacPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension. What cannot be ignored is that the Highlander can be regarded as one of the first joint venture medium-sized SUVs to enter China. As the first to eat crabs, isn't it reasonable to have a huge influence? However, its quality that has not broken down after 20 years of driving also plays a crucial role, and the price of 239,800-325,800 is also very sincere. No wonder Highlander was able to sell 98,506 units in 2019. What do you think of this car? Woolen cloth?
