AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/07 Report--

In China's MPV market, Toyota is still relatively well-known, especially its Elfa, which has few competitors in the domestic MPV market. Even if the price is more than 800,000 yuan, an increase of more than 200000 yuan can lift the car, it still can not resist the pursuit of consumers. Of course, in order to meet the domestic demand for high-end MPV models, Toyota has put into production the sister model "will Fat" on the basis of Elfa.

The positioning of the will method is similar to that of the Elfa, but it is different from the Elfa in terms of design style. the car uses a hybrid system. Wilfa has announced the price at the Shanghai auto show, with a total of two models priced between 80.50 and 856000 yuan.

It is understood that in order to promote the sales of Wilfa, Wilfa still has certain discounts at the terminal. In fact, the purchase price is less than the official guiding price, but some netizens have revealed on the Internet that in fact, the selling price of Wilfa's offline dealers is more than the guiding price.

According to the pictures provided by netizens, the price of the Wilfa twin-engine model is 956000 yuan, with one-year insurance and ten maintenance in five years, which is 100000 yuan higher than the official price.

In view of the fact that the terminal price is higher than the guiding price, some netizens think that the dealer is forced to bind the service, and the price is too high through insurance and maintenance, but compared with Elfa's "unscrupulous" price increase, will is more conscientious.

Wilfa was exposed as early as the beginning of this year. In terms of appearance, the biggest difference between Wilfa and Elfa is that the front face is designed with layered headlights, and the middle net has an ultra-wide set of chrome-plated horizontal spokes, which also makes it look wider and thicker than Elfa. In terms of size, Wilfa's length, width and height are 4978/1856/1893mm and wheelbase 3001mm respectively.

Wilfa's interior design is well-behaved, basically consistent with Elfa, and the interior is not so innovative, but from the perspective of materials, it is worthy of the identity of imported cars.

In terms of power, the Wilfa double engine is equipped with a hybrid system composed of a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine plus two electric engines, in which the maximum power of the engine is 86 kilowatts, the maximum power and speed 4700rpm, the maximum torque is 198Nm, the total power of the motor is 155kW, and the comprehensive maximum power is 119kW.

Toyota MPV model price increase seems to be a tradition, compared to the above two MPV, in front of Toyota luxury brand Lexus is a "brother". According to car dealers, the Lexus LM 300h starting price is 2.18 million yuan, a price increase of 1.68 million yuan, and a landing price of 4 million yuan.

Lexus has previously been protected by consumers because of the price increase, causing consumer dissatisfaction with it, and the high price increase of Lexus LM 300h has also triggered consumer complaints. However, even after the high price increase of the Lexus LM 300h, there is no shortage of consumers to pay for it.

Although the frequent price increases in Lexus models have caused consumer dissatisfaction, it has not affected the growth of sales at all. In November, Lexus sold 19325 units in China, up 16.5% from a year earlier.

In fact, for Toyota's three luxury MPV models, when the market is hot, consumers are more likely to raise that car with less price increase, and of course, for Elfa and Wilfa, they have to accept hybrid powers. after all, most consumers are still not optimistic about hybrid models.

Perhaps the increase in sales has led to Toyota's price increase. According to sales, Toyota's November sales rose 11.4% from a year earlier to 152200 vehicles, surpassing Nissan and Honda.
