AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/29 Report--

With the gradual strictness of vehicle emission standards, more and more car companies are making small-emission changes to their models. According to foreign media reports, Toyota Prado, as a cross-country representative of Toyota's "tough guy", will be replaced with a 2.5L direct injection engine and will be improved in other aspects.

According to the news of this exposure, the new Prado model will not only evolve from the current 150th series to 180th series, but also believe that the new Prado model will also be based on Toyota's latest brand, Volkswagen, as more and more Toyota models are based on the TNGA architecture. As the new car is not expected to be released until August 2022, there is still not much information about the new car.

In terms of appearance, it is expected that the new Prado will use the latest Toyota design language, as the current Prado model is a long time away from the last replacement, so this new car may usher in an obvious replacement cycle, and it is expected that the whole car will add the most requirements of more luxury models from the inside to the outside, not to rule out the possibility that it will be integrated into the design style of Lexus, and you can also find inspiration from the new Hanlanda and RAV4.

In addition, due to the development of the new car based on the TNGA framework, the overall size of the new car will also be improved to a certain extent. According to the exposed information, the length, width and height of the new car body are 4830mm/1880mm/1850mm, slightly larger than the current model, while the height is slightly lower, and the wheelbase is 2800mm, which is slightly higher than the current model.

Of course, as the current Prado model, as a high-end model under Toyota, has always maintained a relatively simple and simple design style in terms of interior layout, so with the release of the new Sena official map, it is speculated that the Prado interior will also improve its quality. In addition, the configuration of the new car will also keep abreast of the times and add some more mainstream devices.

However, after the exposure of this information, nothing is more controversial than the power of the new car. After all, as a "tough guy" off-road SUV, Prado continues to compromise on power. From the former 4.0L self-priming V6 engine to the current 3.5L self-priming mixed injection V6 engine, Toyota once introduced a 2.7L self-priming multi-point EFI in-line four-cylinder engine to lower the Prado threshold.

Now it has been replaced to a 2.5L self-priming direct injection four-cylinder engine again, but it has to be said that nothing can be replaced by Toyota taking into account the emission standards. compared with these two engines, the direct injection technology is also more difficult and more costful. but it can play the effect of every drop of oil, thereby reducing emissions.

However, at present, domestic Prado is also gradually facing suspension of production, according to a previous "Sichuan FAW Toyota production AVALON model project environmental impact report (" the report ")," the document shows.

Affected by the sixth national emission regulations, Prado 3.5L products will be discontinued in June 2020. At present, the Prado 3.5L is the only domestic Prado model left by FAW Toyota, with a price between 400000 and 600000 yuan. If production is officially stopped, it means that Toyota Prado domestic cars will be completely discontinued. As for whether the new Prado model will be introduced into the domestic market again, we can only look forward to it.
