AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/18 Report--

Toyota Hanlanda, as a hot-selling medium-sized SUV in China, has been in short supply even with price increases. With the listing of the new generation of Hanlanda, its new car planning has also become the concern of many consumers. Following the news that the production capacity of the new Hanlanda will reach 90, 000 vehicles, it has recently been reported that the cumulative production of the new Hanlanda is expected to reach 140000 vehicles.

However, according to the news released this time, the cumulative production of the new Hanlanda for the whole year is 140000 vehicles, which distinguishes Guangzhou Auto Toyota from FAW Toyota in Toyota's two joint ventures, that is, Toyota's "two-car strategy". According to the Guangzhou Ecological and Environmental Bureau, the new generation of GAC Toyota Hanlanda (internal code 760B) plans to start production in the old GAC Toyota plant and the fourth production line, with an overall planned annual production capacity of 90,000 vehicles. Production is expected to start in the first quarter of next year.

And another news shows that FAW Toyota version of the new Hanlanda is expected to be put into production in the second quarter, its internal code is 770B. Unlike FAW Toyota Hanlanda, the new car will focus on the latest 2.5L hybrid system, with better performance than the current 2.0T engine. FAW-Toyota's Tianjin TNGA plant is expected to produce 49824 vehicles a year.

It means that as GAC Toyota put into production the new Hanlanda in the fourth production line, the overall number of vehicles will reach 90,000 by integrating the old plant area and the new production line; together with the FAW Toyota version of the brand-new Hanlanda, the planned annual output will reach nearly 50,000 vehicles. According to the cumulative calculation, the total annual production capacity of the new homemade Hanlanda is about 140000 vehicles, which not only exceeds the actual sales of the Hanlanda car system in 2018 and 2019, but also equates to a 30 per cent increase compared with the current production capacity of the Halanda.

According to the patent map of the brand-new generation of domestic Hanlanda, which was officially announced before, its appearance is almost synchronized with the overseas version.

The newly released Toyota Hanlanda model is the fourth generation of the car series, the new car is developed based on Toyota TNGA-K platform, the overall outline still continues the styling of the classic Hanlanda, the details are greatly adjusted, and the overall trend is tough style. The area of the front grille has further shrunk and the shape has changed, with a chrome strip running through the top and connected to the Toyota logo.

In terms of vehicle details, the A-pillar adopts a blackened design, and the side shape is similar to that of the current Hanlanda. The tail uses a slender taillight group, the overall shape is more square. In addition, the driver is said to have an increase in 60mm compared to cash.

There are great changes in the interior, the central control screen area integrates the physical button layout, the size of the touch screen is divided into 8 inches and 12.3 inches. The functional layout below is similar to the latest RAV4.

In terms of power, the overseas version provides 3.5L V6 and 2.5L hybrid models, of which the 3.5L engine has a maximum power of 295 horsepower and a peak torque of 368N ·m, matching an eight-speed automatic transmission. The hybrid model uses the THS hybrid system of 2.5L four-cylinder engine with a comprehensive power of 240hp and matches the E-CVT gearbox. No matter it is the fuel version or the hybrid version, there are two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. In view of the domestic car market environment and consumption habits, the domestic version is expected to provide only 2.5L displacement models, and the hybrid version will become the main product.

Although the current Hanlanda model has been on the market for five years since it was replaced in 2015, its popularity in the domestic medium-sized SUV market continues unabated. Under the environment where the other seven joint ventures SUV compete with each other through price reduction, Hanlanda still relies on Toyota's reputation, big space and product stability to raise its car price in most parts of the country. With the realization of the joint production of the two joint ventures, the tight supply of Hanlanda models may be alleviated to a certain extent.
