AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/13 Report--

The 2021 Shanghai International Auto Show will be officially held on April 19. As the first large-scale model of the year, many models will usher in updated iterations, such as the new Hanlanda, the new Qijun and so on. Near the auto show, some media went to the museum to shoot a poster of the new Toyota will method. Although there is no real car, it can be seen from the poster that the front of the new car has been replaced with a crown logo and will be named "Crown will method".

The cash will method guidance price is 81.90-873000 yuan, but there is a certain increase in the terminal market, and the hand price is much higher than the guidance price. Judging from the pictures of the new car on the poster, there is an obvious difference between the new will method and the models currently on sale. The shape of the front face has been changed to the design of the Japanese version of will method, and a large area of vents have been used on both sides of the front bumper. The special car logo of the will method has also been replaced with the "Crown" logo. The poster has a "Crown will method" in the lower left corner, and the car is expected to adopt this new naming style.

At present, Toyota officials have not released more information about the car, and it is unclear whether the interior layout will be changed. As for power, the new car will most likely continue the existing composition, continue to carry 2.5L oil-electric hybrid system, integrated maximum power 120kw, the transmission system is matched by the E-CVT electronic continuously variable transmission.

Toyota Elfa was first introduced into the market by Guangzhou Auto Toyota, perhaps saw the success of Elfa, sister model will also introduced into the domestic market by FAW Toyota. Although the two models are sister models to each other, Wilfa has a stronger sense of sports by comparison.

This generation of will method was first released in 2015, and now the replacement model is coming, but before the replacement, Toyota will also launch a modified model, that is, the model that will be unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show. The purpose of making certain changes to the front face and changing the crown model is also to keep it fresh.

It is well known that the Crown is a high-end model owned by Toyota, which was officially launched in 1955 and has now developed to the 15th generation after 65 years. In the impression of consumers, "Crown" is not only a Toyota, but also a synonym for Japanese high-end cars. In other words, Toyota plans to change the name of will method to "Crown will method". In a sense, the positioning of will method will be improved, and will form a low, medium and high combination with Elfa and Lexus LM.

Generally speaking, as a modified model, new cars generally do not have much room for price adjustment, but thanks to the addition of the Crown logo, it is not impossible for Wilfa to sell at a higher price than Elfa, and the price increase space for its terminal may increase accordingly. As for more information about the new car, we will keep an eye on it.

After changing the crown logo and renaming the Crown will method, it is expected that the positioning of the car will be slightly higher than that of Toyota's Elfa, thus forming a low, medium and high positioning combination of Elfa, Wilfa and Lexus LM. Of course, its price may also rise on the basis of the current will method. However, at present, the above is only a personal guess, Toyota is expected to announce further brand planning at this auto show, let's wait and see.
