Today, Guangzhou Auto Toyota's official WeChat account said: Guangzhou Auto Toyota's new luxury medium-sized SUV VENZA is named Weisa in Chinese, meaning "from the connotation, has its own Sinorama." In addition, GAC Toyota also announced that Visa will be unveiled at the Guangzhou Motor Show, which opens on November 19, and will go on sale in the first quarter of next year.

It is understood that Weisa positioning medium-sized SUV, built on the TNGA-K platform, has been unveiled in the new car declaration catalogue of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology earlier. In terms of appearance, it is still slightly different from FAW Toyota Harrier, mainly in its front face. Weisa's front face uses a large mouth-type air intake grille, the front face black trim extends from the middle to the outside to connect with the far and near light LED headlights, and the two sides of the grille are similar to the design of air cooling grooves. In the position of the front bumper or rear bumper, the new cars are decorated with chrome strips.

It is not difficult to see that under the influence of the continuous impact of domestic SUV, Guangzhou Auto Toyota is also adjusting the layout of the SUV field, although it already has C-HR, Wellanda, Hanlanda and other models. But in the A + level entry medium-sized SUV market is still a blank, and the emergence of Weisa is just to fill this gap. At present, Toyota is accelerating the layout of new products in China, and new models such as Ling Shang, Asian Lion, fourth-generation Hanlanda, Crown-Lufang and other models have been launched this year. Sienna and Harrier will be produced and sold by Toyota's two joint ventures, which is an important measure for Toyota to implement the "two-car strategy" layout in the Chinese market, which is to further increase its market share in China. Toyota sold 115000 vehicles in China in September 2021, down 36 per cent from a year earlier, according to data.

The introduction of Weisa VENZA will help the expansion of GAC Toyota SUV family.
