Toyota Overlord and Land Cruiser are two well-known hardcore off-road vehicles that both belong to Toyota's Land Cruiser series, but in the domestic market, there is a clear difference in their popularity. According to statistics, in 2019, the sales volume of Toyota Overlord (Prado) reached 360,000 units, while the sales of Toyota Land Patrol (Land Cruiser) are only 060,000 units. This gap is not only reflected in the sales volume, but also in the choice of car owners. Many car owners said that they would rather spend 600,000 yuan to buy a domineering than buy a land patrol, and some people even said that the land patrol is for local tyrants, and the domineering is for real off-road enthusiasts. So, how big is the gap between domineering and land patrol?What are the strengths and weaknesses of each of them?
In terms of appearance, the biggest difference between the domineering and the land patrol is the body size. The length, width and height of the Land Patrol are 4950mm, 1980mm, 1910mm, and the wheelbase is 2850mm, while the length, width and height of the overbearing are 4760mm, 1885mm, and 1845mm, and the wheelbase is 2790mm. It can be seen that Lu Xun is bigger than domineering, and he looks more domineering and steady. In addition, it can also be distinguished from the grille on the front face, the overbearing grille is vertical, and the grille of the Land Patrol is horizontal, which is also where their logo is located. In terms of overall style, Lu Xun is more inclined to luxury and business, while domineering is more inclined to sporty and young.
From the point of view of power, the displacement of the Land Patrol is greater than that of the overbearing, after all, the Land Patrol is a more professional all-road off-road vehicle. Land Patrol has 40l v6 and 4The 6-liter V8 engine is available with a maximum power of 202 kW and 234 kW and a maximum torque of 381 Nm and 460 Nm respectively. And the domineering is only 4The 0L V6 is available with a maximum power of 202kW and a maximum torque of 381Nm. It can be seen that the power of the Land Patrol is stronger, especially the V8 engine, which can provide more abundant power output. However, this has also led to higher fuel consumption for Land Patrol, with a comprehensive fuel consumption of 13 announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology8L 100km, while the overbearing combined fuel consumption is 123l/100km。
From the configuration point of view, the level of the land patrol is higher, and the configuration will not be low, especially in off-road, the land patrol has a hard off-road "three locks", that is, the ** differential lock, the rear axle differential lock and the front axle differential lock, these configurations can allow the land patrol to maintain good traction and stability in various complex road conditions. The overbearing only has "two locks", namely the ** differential lock and the rear axle differential lock, and the front axle differential lock is not equipped, which limits the off-road ability of the overbearing to a certain extent. In addition, the Land Patrol is also equipped with a series of high-end off-road assistance systems such as air suspension, variable suspension height, variable suspension stiffness, multi-terrain selection, multi-terrain monitoring, steep hill descent, steep hill assist, and body stability control, while the overlord is only partially equipped.
In terms of comfort and safety, the Land Patrol is also better than the overbearing, the Land Patrol is equipped with four-zone automatic air conditioning, electric sunroof, electric trunk, leather seats, seat heating, seat ventilation, seat memory, multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, reversing image, reversing radar, keyless entry, one-button start, car navigation, Bluetooth**, car TV, rear entertainment system, xenon headlights, LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, wiper sensing, automatic headlights, front exhaust airbags, side airbags, head airbags, Tire pressure monitoring, ABS, EBD, BA, TCS, ESP and other configurations, while the overlord is only partially configured.
From the point of view of off-road performance, Land Patrol and Domineering are both very good hard-core off-road vehicles, both have strong passability and ability to get out of trouble, but if you want to subdivide, there are still some differences. First of all, the body size of the Land Patrol is larger, which means that its minimum ground clearance, maximum wading depth, maximum climbing angle, maximum passing angle and other parameters are better than the overbearing, these parameters are very important for off-road vehicles, they determine whether the off-road vehicle can successfully pass various obstacles. Secondly, the power of the Land Patrol is stronger, which means that its acceleration performance, explosive power, torque output and other aspects are better than the domineering, these aspects are also very important for off-road vehicles, they determine whether the off-road vehicle can maintain a good power output in various road conditions.
Finally, the configuration of the Land Patrol is higher, which means that its off-road assistance system, suspension system, braking system and other aspects are better than the overbearing, these aspects are also very important for off-road vehicles, they determine whether the off-road vehicle can maintain good stability and safety in various road conditions. To sum up, it can be said that the off-road performance of the land patrol is better than that of the overbearing, but this is not to say that the off-road performance of the overbearing is poor, but relatively speaking, the land patrol is more professional and comprehensive.
From the point of view, the gap between the domineering and the land patrol is very obvious, and the domineering ** is much lower than the land patrol. According to Autohome, the price range of the overbearing is 4398-60.480,000 yuan, while the price range of Lu Xun is 7780-120.000,000 yuan. It can be seen that the lowest price of Lu Xun is 170,000 yuan higher than the domineering one, which also reflects the difference in their positioning and grade. Of course, the best does not necessarily mean the level of cost performance, it also depends on the specific product quality and consumer needs. For some consumers who pursue off-road performance and luxury, the Land Patrol may be a more worthwhile choice, while for some consumers who pursue economy and practicality, the overbearing may be a more suitable choice.
To sum up, the gap between the overlord and the land patrol is mainly reflected in the size, power, configuration, off-road performance and other aspects, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, but also suitable for different consumers and needs. For some consumers who pursue off-road performance and luxury, the Land Patrol may be a more worthwhile choice, while for some consumers who pursue economy and practicality, the overbearing may be a more suitable choice. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide which model to buy based on your preferences and budget.
