AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)12/10 Report--

At the Guangzhou Auto Show opened last month, GAC Toyota brought a brand-new compact SUV Weilanda. It is understood that Weilanda is built on the GA-K platform under the same TNGA as Lexus ES, equipped with RAV4 Rongfang engine and chassis, and the appearance of the whole vehicle is similar to that of Rongfang RAV4. The new car will be officially launched in April next year.

As the brother model of RAV4, Weilanda will launch two models: fuel version and hybrid version. From the appearance point of view, the appearance of Weilanda is still very different from RAV4 Rongfang. In the front face design, Weilanda's front air intake grille tends to Lexus design style, and the headlights are also very sharp, forming an "X" shape with the air intake grille. The left and right lower parts of the front are equipped with vents, and the overall appearance is still relatively atmospheric. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Weilanda are 4665/1855/1680mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2690 mm.

The interior of Weilanda is basically consistent with RAV4, but by contrast, Weilanda's design is younger, and the center console inside the car is wrapped in a large amount of soft materials to increase the sense of fashion. In terms of configuration, Weilanda is equipped with 10.2-inch suspension central control screen, 7 airbags, TSS active safety system, which can provide adaptive cruise, low-speed automatic car following, lane keeping, automatic far and near light, etc.

Based on GA-K platform, Weilanda is equipped with 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and 2.5L hybrid power system respectively, which meet the national VI emission standard. Among them, the maximum horsepower of 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is 171Ps and the peak torque is 209N·m, which can simulate 10-speed CVT gearbox; the maximum horsepower of 2.5L hybrid system is 178Ps, matching E-CVT gearbox.

From the product power of Weilanda, there are not too many slots, but some netizens compared Weilanda and Yu Sheng, found that these two cars are somewhat similar.

Some netizens commented,"It turns out that foreign car companies also have a face plagiarism!" Another netizen said,"It's also like Na Zhijie."

According to the data, from January to October this year, the sales volume of RAV4 was 99266 vehicles, and its sales volume basically remained at about 10,000 vehicles, and the lowest was no less than 8000 vehicles. However, in September and October this year, the sales volume of RAV4 was greatly reduced, with sales volume of 3683 vehicles and 1913 vehicles respectively, mainly caused by product switching. As the brother model of RAV4 Rongfang, Weilanda has been criticized by netizens for many times in terms of appearance. I don't know what kind of performance will be after listing. Let's look forward to it together!
