There is a tank 700 in front and a Leopard 8 in the back, and the new FAW Toyota Prado: It's too difficult for me

Quick review of the car

For a long time in the past, the domestic hard-core SUV market was basically the world of Japanese cars. Representative models include Toyota Prado, Mitsubishi Pajero, and even Suzuki Jimny, which is known as the "dirt bike-stirring stick".

Of course, the most influential of the above models is, of course, the Toyota Prado.

The reason why Toyota Prado can come out on top is that in addition to the endorsement of the Toyota brand, it does have strong strength. Whether it was the era of hegemony, or later changed its name to Prado. Whether it is a domestic or parallel import channel, Toyota Prado can be called the "handle" of the off-road vehicle industry, and its status can be shaken by no car.

This has also led to the ridiculously high price of Toyota Prado in China: new cars are sold at a higher price, and used cars are sold at the original price.

It wasn't until later that Great Wall Motor's tank brand was born, and the hot sales of the Tank 300 completely changed the pattern of the domestic hard-core off-road vehicle market. Even the Toyota Prado, in the face of the aggressiveness of domestic off-road vehicles, the price system has completely collapsed.

In the case of the overall backwardness of product strength, the halo of Toyota Prado's "god car" has also been removed.

Like all Japanese cars, when Toyota Prado loses the capital to sell cars at a higher price, it means that the era of the domestic hard-core off-road vehicle market has passed.

With the rise of tank brands, although Japanese hard-core off-road vehicles have almost faded out of our field of vision, the domestic hard-core off-road vehicle market has not only not ended, but has become more and more prosperous. In addition to the Great Wall, mainstream domestic car companies such as BYD and Chery have also begun to focus on the hard-core off-road vehicle market.

Unexpectedly, at this point in time, the all-new Toyota Prado returned.

In April this year, FAW Toyota's all-new Prado, which had been out of production for many years, was officially launched. The new car is available in four models, with prices ranging from 459,800 ~ 549,800 yuan.

As a replacement model, FAW Toyota is based on Toyota's new TNGA-F platform. In addition to the great changes in the exterior and interior, the power also adopts a combination of the whole series, equipped with a 2.4T gasoline engine and a gasoline-electric hybrid system, and the off-road performance is still excellent.

Although the all-new Toyota Prado has been greatly improved compared to the previous generation, it is no longer what it used to be. As soon as it hit the market, it faced tremendous pressure from the tank 700.

There is no doubt that there is a big gap between the new Prado and the tank 700 in terms of product power alone, especially in terms of intelligent configuration.

The most important thing is that the starting price is more than 30,000 yuan more expensive than the tank 700.

On June 17, BYD's Formula Leopard Automobile announced the relevant information of the Leopard 8 model. In terms of positioning, the Leopard 8 is also a medium and large off-road vehicle, with a body size of nearly 5.2 meters and a wheelbase of nearly 3 meters, which is obviously much larger than the new Toyota Prado.

What is certain is that the Leopard 8 should also be significantly ahead of the new Prado in terms of technology configuration, and it is said that BYD's latest high-end intelligent driving system with the Eye of the Gods will also be launched in a 6-seater version.

The Leopard 8 is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a plug-in hybrid system, and the probability of 000 acceleration will be about 5 seconds. The new car will be officially launched in the third quarter, and the starting price may be 500,000 yuan.

There is a tank 700 in front and a Leopard 8 in the back, and in the car quick review, it seems that the new Toyota Prado is not at the right time for this return, and it is difficult to reproduce the glory of the past. No one buys if the price is not reduced, and if the price is reduced, no one may buy it.
