AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/04 Report--

I believe that many netizens will often see some news to improve the "value" of their models through "modification", that is, the upgrading of models can be achieved through partial modification kits. In a certain Thai, a certain wind and other models often "upgrade" to Porsche or Land Rover.

Recently, some netizens revealed that this situation also appeared in Toyota's models. The pictures provided show that a Toyota has been modified into the front face of a Lexus. At first glance, I really thought it was from a Lexus model, but it was actually modified from FAW Toyota's new RAV4 model. On the whole, the model is only for the front face in the net aspect has been modified.

It is worth noting that this "modification" is not a personal modification, but by the official 4S store. The contact information of the 4S store and the advertisement of the new car can be seen on the car door, which means that this is a new car directly from the manufacturer.

Although Lexus and Toyota are the same company, as a high-end brand of Toyota, it is normal for them to share some spare parts, but they are always designed by two brands in appearance. In this regard, some netizens questioned whether such a modification does not belong to "illegal modification"? Does the 4S store officially support the modification of this kind of kit?

It is understood that with the further relaxation of China's modification regulations, the intake net belongs to the scope of modification, as long as the internal parts in the car and the arrangement position of the headlights are not changed, the replacement of the intake net is allowed. At the same time, after the completion of the modification, we must go to the DMV for the corresponding record, and re-take photos to change the driving license, as long as the completion of this step, it is a legal modification.

Some netizens also said that the RAV4 is not the only Toyota "Lei Hua" model, which has been reflected in the Asian Dragon and Camry models, including the official authorization of 4S stores to promote Camry through "Lei Hua". For example, a Camry modified with the front face of Lexus is displayed in the 4S store.

For these behaviors, it is also due to the higher positioning of Lexus products, and some consumers hope to meet certain "needs" through such modifications, while Toyota also captures the psychology of some consumers and promotes them in this way. in order to achieve marketing goals. Of course, this kind of publicity also varies from person to person, after all, consumers are attracted to the brand because of its product strength.
