AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/03 Report--

Recently, a group of netizens released a group of spy photos of a new generation of Landcool Luze camouflage test car on the forum of a vertical automobile website. Prior to this, the introduction of parallel import channels into the domestic new generation of Lande Cool Luze cars has appeared many times, and this new generation of Lande Cool Luze in camouflage appeared, causing unlimited reverie in the industry.

According to the usual practice, one of the reasons for camouflage testing is to prepare for localization. Although the exposed Lande Cool Luze body has been fully camouflaged, the appearance design is basically consistent with the overseas version, and according to the netizen's response, the shooting site is Sichuan, and does this mean that FAW Toyota Sichuan factory once again makes a new generation of Lande Cool Luze?

Lande Cool Luze is a classic model of Toyota, which is known as Land Cruiser or Land Patrol in China, which has a history of nearly 60 years. "there must be a road ahead, there must be a Toyota car on the road" is from the advertisement of Landcool Luze. From the point of view of the development history of Toyota Landcool Luze, FAW of China established Toyota LC project team in August 2002, began to prepare for the construction of LC100 project, and formally signed Toyota LC100 technology license contract in April 2003.In October of the same year, the first domestic LC100 was held in Changchun. FAW Toyota will introduce the domestic Landcool Luze 100 series named "Land Cruiser" (referred to as "Land Cruiser"). In terms of power, the car is equipped with 4.7L V8 and 4.5L V6 gasoline engines with an official guiding price of 568000 yuan. After its launch, it was deeply trusted and loved by Chinese consumers. At that time, those who were able to afford Lande Cool Luze could definitely be regarded as a big family.

In December 2007, the new generation of Lande Cool Luze, code-named LC200, was listed domestically. Affected by the "advertising storm", the Chinese name of the new car changed from "Land Cruiser" to "Lande Cool Luze". The power side provides 4.7L V8 and 4.0L V6 engines, with an official guiding price of 655000 yuan. Since 2012, FAW Toyota has upgraded its powertrain for Lande Cool Luze, and the brand new 4.6L V8 engine has replaced 4.7L V8 engine. However, due to continued low sales, the East Factory of FAW Toyota Changchun plant was closed in 2016, announcing that Lande Cool Luze had officially stopped production in China, while in the following few years, all Land Cool Luze on sale in China were parallel imported models.

This time the exposure is the new generation of Lande Cool Luze (code name LC300), the new car will be officially launched in June 2021, based on the TNGA-F architecture. In terms of appearance, the new generation of Lande Cool Luze has made a thorough change, and the model based on the TNGA-F architecture has made many adjustments to the appearance, its newly designed front face looks more powerful, and the "big mouth" front intake grille is equipped with a sturdy chrome strip, which makes the shape stronger and highlights the characteristics of cross-country performance. In terms of size, there is no big difference between the new car and the current model, but the parameters of the conventional version and the GR Sport version are slightly different. The conventional version of the model is 4950/1945/1890mm in length, width and height, while the GR Sport version is 4965/1945/1990mm in length, width and height. The wheelbase is consistent with the conventional version, and the wheelbase is 2850mm.

In terms of interior, the new Rand Cool Luze is equipped with a new upright 12-inch central control screen, supports Apple's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the new chassis display system can also provide more support for drivers on complex roads. The new car does not use the popular all-LCD dashboard, but uses the traditional combination of double disc layout and display screen, which still seems to follow Toyota's usual design style. On the whole, the interior design of the new Lande Cool Luze is still relatively traditional, but there is still a lot of room for upgrading compared to the previous generation of models.

On the power side, the new Toyota Landku Luze will be equipped with a 3.5L V6 twin-turbocharged engine codenamed V35A-FTS, diesel generator maximum power 225kw, peak torque 700N m, gasoline engine maximum power 305kw, peak torque 650N m, matching 10-gear automatic transmission, 0-100km / h acceleration 6.7 seconds.

Previously, Lande Cool Luze, code-named LC200, was made in Sichuan FAW Toyota. At present, the factory has put into production models such as Asian Dragon, RAV4 Rongfang, Lingfang HARRIER and so on. This spy photo was filmed in Sichuan, which seems to indicate the possibility of a new generation of Landku Luze. However, up to now, the official has not released the news of whether Lande Cool Luze has been remade. Toyota has previously released it on its website, and now it takes four years to order Lande Cool Luze, but in the face of the enthusiasm of the Chinese market for cross-country SUV, does Toyota realize to pick up Lande Cool Luze again? Do you expect Lande Cooluze to return to the Chinese market again? Welcome to communicate with us in the comments area.

Some people say that the hardline SUV is the nostalgia of the times, and it is feelings that can be consumed for it. This is true, but it is not comprehensive. In the era when the SUV market is booming, many manufacturers gradually urbanize, comfortable and low-carbon the hard SUV, which are restricted by local laws and regulations and are more in line with the needs of consumers, but the idea of human beings to break through the limits and challenge themselves is indelible. There is always a demand for production work, scientific research, cross-country exploration and so on. This is why Great Wall continues to sell well after the launch of the tank brand.

As a star product in the Chinese market, we may once again be able to see a new generation of Landku entering the Chinese market. After all, demand in this market often brings more extra profits for manufacturers and dealers, but whether it can really return eventually depends on Toyota's own consideration.
