According to several media reports, FAW Toyota's new model ALLION, named "Asian Lion" in Chinese, is based on TNGA architecture, located between Carola and Asian Dragon, and will be officially launched on March 29th.
From the appearance of the new car, the front face of the ALLION has a banner chrome-plated grille, and the LED headlights on both sides are connected to a wide chrome strip. The rear of the new car draws lessons from the design of Asian Dragon and adopts the English logo of "ALLION". In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the ALLION is 4720 mm, the wheelbase is 2750mm, and the wheelbase is 50mm higher than that of the Carola.
The interior layout of the ALLION is similar to that of the Toyota Corolla. The center console uses a T-shaped layout, with a 12.3inch full LCD dashboard and a 9-inch suspended central control screen. The three-frame steering wheel is decorated with silver, the air conditioning area below the central control screen retains the knob design, and the outside of the trapezoidal air outlet on both sides is decorated with chrome.
In terms of power, the ALLION is powered by a Toyota 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 178hp and a peak torque of 210Nm, matched by a CVT gearbox.
It is understood that FAW Toyota ALLION was unveiled at the 2020 Guangzhou Motor Show, and the car will be named "Aolan" according to Toyota's official poster at the time. However, due to the ambiguity of the name "Aolan" in some parts of the country, the new name of the car was quickly ridiculed by netizens.
Or for this reason, ALLION may be named "Asian Lion". In English, "LION" means "lion". The English name of ALLION is similar to that of AVALON of Asian dragon, and it seems reasonable to be named "Asian lion".
Up to now, Toyota has successively introduced a number of TNGA architecture models, such as Camry, Leiling, Asian Dragon, Carola and so on, which have become the main source of Toyota sales in China. Data show that in 2020, Corolla sales were 343418, while Leiling, Asian Dragon and Camry were 222361, 111515 and 185140 respectively.
With the arrival of ALLION, while filling the gap in the A + market and expanding the TNGA family product lineup, it will also bring new sales growth to Toyota. Toyota sold 189500 vehicles in China in January, up 30.4% from a year earlier. Among them, FAW Toyota had 84000 vehicles, up 9 per cent from the same period last year.
It is understood that in addition to the ALLION, FAW Toyota will also launch a number of models, including the RAV4 Rongfang PHEV, the IZOA Yize hybrid version, the brand new Hanlanda and the new Harrier, to further enrich the electrification product lineup by increasing plug-in hybrid and pure electric products while expanding the product camp.
