AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)08/16 Report--

Today, the first flagship SUV model of the FAW Toyota Crown brand was officially put off the line and pre-sold at the FAW Toyota production base in Tianjin. the new car has previously announced a pre-price range of 28-370000 yuan. According to previous reports, Crown Lufang locates a medium-sized SUV, built on the TNGA-K platform, and is a sister model to GAC Toyota's Hanlanda.

FAW Toyota General Manager Satoshi Maekawa also said at the offline ceremony: "Today, the Crown brand has been renovated and transformed into a brand series of products." Thanks to FAW Toyota users for their long-term support and trust in FAW Toyota and Crown products. FAW Toyota will with will and enthusiasm, with great sincerity, put into action, build every high-quality car, continue to present more satisfactory products, and contribute a lot to the happy life of more users. Hand in hand to a better future. "

In terms of appearance, Crown-Lufang follows the appearance of the overseas version of the Halanda XSE sports version. Compared with the ordinary version of the Halanda, the new car uses a brand-new front face shape, with a honeycomb-style hexagonal grille inside the upper middle net and a large-size horizontal intake grille at the bottom. Of course, the most direct difference is that it uses the crown logo, which is the first time Toyota has carried the crown logo on its SUV model.

Car body: length, width and height are 5015mm/1930mm/1750mm, wheelbase is 2850mm. Compared with the fourth-generation Hanlanda car captain, 50mm has been added. The main difference is that the new car uses a double-layer design with a different color from the body at the lower bumper. In terms of interior decoration, it is still the same as the Toyota Hanlanda, equipped with a suspended central control screen and a full liquid crystal instrument, and the crown logo is also used in the center of the steering wheel. In terms of configuration, the new car will have two space layouts, five-seater and seven-seater, and the new car will have 18-inch and 20-inch rims, head-up display, 12.3-inch center control screen, electric tailgate and other configurations.

In the power system part, the Crown Land is equipped with 2.5L hybrid system (2.5HEV). The maximum power of 2.5L engine is 192hp (141kW), the peak torque is 238Nm, and the transmission system matches the E-CVT gearbox. In terms of motor, the two-wheel drive version carries the motor of 134kW, while the four-wheel drive version adds a rear motor of 40kW.

On July 15, FAW Toyota announced that Crown has officially become its high-end flagship brand, and its Crown Lufang and Crown Wilfa models have also been officially launched. As we all know, the Crown was originally a high-end model owned by Toyota, which was officially launched in 1955. Now it has developed to the 15th generation of products, after 65 years.

In the impression of consumers, "Crown" is not only a Toyota, but also a synonym for Japanese high-end cars. However, with the changes in the market, the sales of the 14th generation models plummeted and finally announced the suspension of FAW Toyota Crown production on April 8, 2020.

Perhaps it is to see the Chinese people's love for this model, or do not want to let the crown out of the Chinese market, after a brief separation, FAW Toyota once again regained the "crown" and announced that it no longer represents a certain model, but on behalf of the FAW Toyota high-end brand, and launched Crown Wilfa and Crown Lufang two models, in order to recreate the former elegant demeanour. However, FAW Toyota has turned the Crown model into the Crown brand, although its former elegant demeanor has continued, but Crown Lufang and Crown Wilfa are obviously unable to replace Crown models emotionally, but whether they can surpass Crown in sales, this is also worth paying attention to!
