A few days ago, the all-new Prado announced the price of the new car in the North American market, and the new car was launched in three models, with a price range of 57,445-76,445 US dollars, equivalent to about 41 yuan30,000-550,000 yuan. The all-new domestic Prado is expected to start pre-sale on February 29 and officially launch on July 16, with a starting price of about 470,000 yuan in the domestic market.

The strength of the new Prado:

The all-new Prado is based on the TNGA-F platform, with a square front face and rich sense of hierarchy, and also provides two types of light cluster designs: rectangular and circular, while the middle mesh grille is equipped with Toyota's letter logo, and the thick front surround below also enhances the visual impact of the front face. From the side of the body, the all-new Prado adopts a similar waistline design to the all-new Lexus GX, with obvious body lines and a sloping A-pillar design that also brings high recognition.

The rear of the car is simple and clear, with horizontal and vertical lines outlining the overall silhouette, with vertical taillights with regular shapes and rich layers, simple and refined. In terms of details, the B-C pillar and window moldings of the new car have been blackened. The body size is 4925*1980*1870mm, the wheelbase is 2850mm, and the positioning is a medium and large off-road SUV, with an approach angle of 31 degrees, a departure angle of 22 degrees, a passing angle of 25 degrees, and a ground clearance of 221mm.

In terms of interior, the all-new domestic Pula has not yet been announced, and it is expected to follow the design of the overseas version of the model, adopting Toyota's latest family-style design language, equipped with a full LCD instrument cluster and 12The 3-inch central control screen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which meets consumers' needs for intelligent connectivity. In addition, the all-new Prado is equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning, which further enhance the vehicle's intelligence.

In other configurations, it also provides wireless wireless charging for mobile phones, 8-way power-adjustable seats, seat heating and ventilation, steering wheel heating, three-zone air conditioning, 14-speaker JBL sound system, 2400 watts of external power supply, multi-terrain monitor and other configurations, and also retains some physical buttons.

In terms of power, the three models launched in the North American market are equipped with 2 as standarda combination of 4T engine + 8AT gearbox; And equipped with ** and rear axle differential lock. The mid-spec variant is equipped with a front stabilizer bar cut-off function to improve the front suspension travel, including an all-terrain system. As for the four-wheel drive system, the imported Lexus GX adopts a full-time four-wheel drive system based on the Torsen-style mechanical limited-slip** differential, and some models have a rear axle differential lock and low-speed creep mode. In addition, according to previous information, the domestic model will be equipped with the FAW Toyota Prado 2The 4T engine and motor are composed of a diesel-electric hybrid system, with a maximum system power of 330 horsepower and a comprehensive system torque of 630 Nm, matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, and equipped with off-road functions such as full-time four-wheel drive, transfer case and differential lock. Comparison with opponents: Regarding competing products, we naturally compare the models in the domestic market, of course, some data are also compared with FAW Toyota Prado published on the Internet as an example, and then according to the previous revelation of the domestic Prado price of about 45-550,000 yuan**, select the tank 500 fuel version, the formula Leopard Leopard 5 as an example for analysis.

Judging from the data, the new Prado is still good compared to its competitors in terms of body width and wheelbase, and the width of 1980mm makes this car look domineering. However, it is still slightly inferior to its competitors in terms of height and length. The 2850mm is not weak in its class, and it is worth mentioning that the row of seats of the new car can form an almost flat space when folded down.

Judging from the power data, the new Prado is lower than the tank 500, but the system comprehensive torque is much higher, and it is important to know that stronger torque is essential for off-road vehicles. Compared with the Leopard 5, fuel vehicles are inevitably not as powerful as new energy models, which is already indisputable.

In terms of off-road, we also mentioned above that the new Prado adopts a front double wishbone independent suspension + rear integral axle non-independent suspension structure, plus a non-load-bearing body structure, four-wheel drive system, Torsen limited slip ** differential, rear axle differential lock, creep mode, SDM stabilizer bar separation device, etc., off-road performance is still very strong. Although it doesn't have much advantage in ground clearance, maximum approach angle, departure angle, and passing angle, the Prado may be more playable for veteran veterans.

In summary, it was difficult for domestic brands to break SUV** into more than 200,000 yuan, and it was even more difficult for hard-core off-road SUVs with prices in the range of 400,000-500,000 yuan. In 2019, FAW Toyota chose to discontinue the production of the domestic Prado, which just gave domestic brands the opportunity to attack this field, such as Tank 500, Haval Big Dog, BJ40, etc., their "ultimate meaning" is not only off-road itself, but also provides people with emotional value. In addition, the hard-core off-road SUVs in the new energy field are also enriched, looking up to the U8, Formula Leopard 5, Haval Raptor, Tank 400H4i-T, Dongfeng Warrior 917, Chery Exploration 06, ICAR03, etc., from this point of view, Toyota wants to rejoin this battlefield in 2024, I am afraid it will not be easy.
