How strong is this SUV? 1000 km desert test drive Willanda 2.0L four-wheel drive version.

At present, China's highway construction has been very sound, and most of the highways are surrounded by mountains and rivers. But if we are closer, we can only take some unpaved roads on the national highway, so we can always see a variety of SUV models when we go out by car, which not only has a comfortable ride experience comparable to that of a car, but also helps drivers find another way. This time we and GAC Toyota? Willanda embarked on a journey together, starting from Zhangye, passing Jiayuguan, Jiuquan and Dunhuang, with a journey of 1000 kilometers, reaching the "Ghost Eye" and exploring the wonders of nature.

Accompanying us is the self-priming version of GAC Toyota Willanda 2.0L In fact, we often see all kinds of Toyota cars on the road, which is visually tired compared with the traditional appearance. However, when I first met Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda, I was still attracted by its trendy design style.

The design is no longer traditional, and the hot wheels-shaped hub is very eye-catching

Large-sized inverted trapezoidal blackened mesh is especially good at creating luxury and dynamic. Unfortunately, the honeycomb shape is more common. If it is changed to a more design-oriented spindle shape, I believe it will capture more consumers. The hybrid model is also equipped with an active air intake grille to further reduce wind resistance. The fog lamp below is wrapped in a blackened polygonal structure, which reveals the more dynamic positioning of GAC Toyota Willanda all the time. "W" headlights are exquisitely shaped inside, and all of them are equipped with LED headlights as standard.

The side of the body of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda reflects the angular and tough shape, and the lines are very straight. The front and rear fenders are made of black anti-friction guards, which are very tense when matched with the blade-shaped rims, and also imply good passability performance. The length, width and height of the car body are 4665/ 1855/ 1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2690mm, which is on the same standard line.

Is the power of 2.0L self-priming engine enough?

This trip involves a variety of road conditions, including expressways, unpaved gravel roads, broken Gobi sand, and even heavy snow on the first day, so it is a comprehensive test drive experience for this Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda. 2.0L self-priming engine 17 1 horsepower, the maximum torque reaches 209N·m, which is not eye-catching compared with the turbine engine of the same class, but the actual experience gives people enough surprises. If you step on the accelerator deeply, the engine will climb very fast. The engine and CVT gearbox will try to match the driver's intention to output power, instead of crawling forward to limit the speed. Overtaking is not a problem in daily life, and the displacement of 2.0L can easily reach the legal speed limit, so don't worry about the lack of stamina. Moreover, you can also choose the manual gear mode, and keep it within the range of high speed and maximum power output at all times.

The overall dynamic performance is linear and stable, which is also in line with the tonality of the higher-end model of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Velanda. Maybe you think CVT is boring, but it will simulate 10 shift, and when it needs power, it will quickly drop two gears and the speed will rise rapidly.

The performance of chassis and suspension is firm and elastic. You can feel the lateral support in place when the mountain road enters the corner at high speed, and it will not collapse as soft as those urban SUV models that pay attention to the pursuit of comfort. Therefore, the adjustment of GAC Toyota Willanda still has a certain movement orientation in it. Suspension filters the road vibration thoroughly, but I can still feel some road information, which is more like telling the driver that I am a capable SUV.

Is the new Toyota Zhixing safety system TSS2.0 practical?

After driving hundreds of kilometers for several days, the excitement of seeing the magnificent scenery gradually returned to dullness. The endless Gobi desert and straight roads have become the main part of our trip. Fortunately, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Velanda comes standard with Toyota TSS2.0 smart travel safety system, including a series of practical technology configurations such as PCS pre-collision safety, DRCC dynamic radar cruise, LDA lane yaw warning, LTA lane tracking assistance, AHB automatic far and near light, etc. The constant-speed cruise that can follow the car at full speed liberates the right foot that can stand on the accelerator for a long time. LTA lane tracking assistance can keep the car on the right track all the time. As long as one hand is on the steering wheel, the system will not quit. I only need to deal with emergencies at a high speed of several hundred kilometers, and other TSS2.0 systems can handle it for me, which is really necessary for an SUV that is often "on the road".

Because national highways are opposite lanes, they may drift to the opposite lane if they are not careful, and the LDA lane departure warning of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda can provide effective safety guarantee and remind drivers when lane departure occurs. Moreover, it is equipped with blind spot monitoring function, which can monitor when there is a car coming or overtaking in the rear to prevent problems before they happen. Moreover, this Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda was born under the TNGA framework, and its excellent collision score and handling performance undoubtedly improved the safety of the whole vehicle.

Why does GAC Toyota Willanda have certain off-road capability?

Thanks to DTV dynamic torque vector control system, GAC Toyota Willanda has stronger traffic capacity than other SUV models in previous cities. The design orientation of this four-wheel drive system is not only to improve urban driving safety, but also to achieve the conventional power distribution of 50:50 front and rear wheels and 0: 100- 100:0 left and right rear wheels. Therefore, the ability to get out of trouble will be more powerful than the traditional four-wheel drive system with equal distribution before and after, and the changeable road conditions in the northwest can just test its performance.

DTV dynamic torque vector control system can choose three off-road modes, namely muddy road and sand, rock and gravel, and snow mode, and the switching is simple and easy to use.

After a long period of weathering, the sand and soil on the Gobi desert looks hard on the surface, but it is extremely soft when stepped on. Most front-drive SUV models will be confused by the illusion, and they can't escape the fate of being stuck in the car, so they can only scratch their tires in situ.

In the driving mode of muddy sand road, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda will take the initiative to turn off ESP. Just stabilize the throttle and gradually increase the speed, and you can have fun in this uninhabited land. DTV dynamic torque vector control system can output power to sticky tires in the early stage, and the speed of identifying slipping tires and distributing torque is within milliseconds. After the car body is lifted by strong torque, the computer will control the output of reducing torque and reduce the probability of getting stuck in the car.

When we encounter a steep slope, this Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Velanda is also equipped with a steep slope descent function, which will be self-adjusted in three off-road modes. The extremely slow speed ensures that the car can go downhill smoothly. The driving computer will control the braking force, power output and torque distribution to avoid wheel slipping, free the right foot and improve off-road safety.

Generally speaking, the dynamic torque vector control system of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Wilanda DTV has obvious passing advantage and disengagement ability compared with other SUV models of the same class. Although its front and rear approach angle are not as exaggerated as real off-road vehicles, it has the ability of light off-road, giving drivers the choice of "staying away from the road".

Are you comfortable sitting for a long time?

In terms of space, this Toyota car has delivered satisfactory answers as always. Normal men can relax when sitting in the back row, and there is a lot of space on the top of their heads and legs. The large panoramic skylight above their heads ensures that the rear passengers will not feel depressed when riding for a long time. The backrest angle conforms to the physical characteristics of Asians, and the seat is also very soft and elastic.

During this trip, our luggage and photographic equipment were put in the trunk of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda, and the overall loading capacity was excellent. The trunk supported 6/4 ratio, which ensured the flexibility of storage methods. A long and narrow tripod can also be placed vertically in the trunk.

After a complicated and changeable journey of 1000 km, we have a deep understanding of GAC Toyota Willanda. The more powerful DTV dynamic torque vector control system makes it have better passing performance than most urban SUV models. Based on TNGA architecture, it has excellent endorsement in terms of safety and chassis quality, and it is also more competitive in the same class. Moreover, for consumers considering this level, the car's value preservation rate is also very important. The hedge ratio of Toyota cars is self-evident. According to online data, the comprehensive hedging rate was as high as 69% in the first three years and 80% in the first year. Excellent spatial performance and riding experience can not only meet daily commuting, but also the powerful DTV dynamic torque vector control system gives drivers the ability to walk away. Moreover, as a product under the TNGA framework, the excellent collision performance of GAC Toyota Willanda also reassured consumers. Not long ago, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda collided with Honda Hao Ying. The result showed that compared with Honda Hao Ying, Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda lost almost nine Niu Yi hairs, and Hao Ying was unrecognizable. Therefore, the comprehensive strength of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Willanda is excellent, and it may be your handy good partner in the future.
