The pre-orders for the FAW Toyota Prado** have been announced, and the car will start with small orders on February 29, reservations on April 25, and sales on July 16.
There are four models in total, which are:
There is no pricing information for the ADV version.
ALR version, there is no pricing information at this time.
United Nations version, starting at $4700,000.
Luxs Heights Edition, 5700,000 yuan starting price.
This ** has far exceeded the author's estimates, and has also set the tone for the fate of the new Prado.
The body size of the new generation Toyota Prado is 4920*1980*1870 mm, and the wheelbase reaches 2850 mm, which is a greater improvement than the previous generation Prado; But its shape is different, the previous generation Prado inherited the style of the mainstream SUV of that era, calm and stylish, while the Prado is a retro design. An analysis of the user portrait of the old Prado shows that this retro off-road SUV is difficult to win over its potential customers.
The four-wheel drive vehicle that this car is equipped with does not need to be explained too much, it is still four-wheel drive, and it is equipped with a Torsen differential; But at present, domestic SUVs, in the four-wheel drive system, have more choices, such as the Cheetah 5, it is a dual-motor four-wheel drive, theoretically speaking, it is better than the Torsen differential, and it is also more flexible.
The TG-400 500Hi4-T is a longitudinal mechanical series electric motor drive, which is equipped with a multi-plate clutch limited-slip differential with the "Mlock" feature on the transfer case. To put it simply, it is an intelligent adjustment of the transfer according to the rolling of the front and rear drive shafts, plus a mechanical differential lock to stabilize the clutch, so the off-road ability is also very strong.
The Nissan Patrol and Ford Raptor F-150 are equipped with such a limited-slip differential, so the Prado is not inferior in off-road ability, but it also does not have much advantage.
Kinetic interpretation

Light hybrid is "no hybrid", and mild hybrid is to integrate a BSG motor into the engine to start the engine and generate electricity; Normally, it will not exceed 10 kW of maximum power and will only be used in plug-in hybrids. Secondly, the battery pack capacity of the mild hybrid system is very low, which cannot meet the long-term power demand; As a result, mild hybrid systems are only suitable for a short range of use, and their maximum effect is a slight reduction in fuel consumption, which is around 5% compared to comparable models.
The following image is about the design concept of the mild hybrid system with vertical four-wheel drive.
Mild hybrids are still inherently gasoline-powered vehicles, and their body test results are even worse than those of petrol-electric hybrids that don't have external charging. Hybrid cars with petrol and diesel, at least one electronic control system, can turn on the air conditioner for a period of time when the engine is down. The mild hybrid motor, on the other hand, has to pass through the engine's crankshaft to deliver power, so it cannot drive the compressor or drive the car independently.
So, the engine of the new Prado is 24 t, 243 hp, 630 N, drivetrain 8 at. This parameter should include the parameters of the motor, otherwise, the torque cannot be so large, so before releasing the specific power parameters, it is best to analyze the parameters of the motor.
A midsize SUV priced at 47-570,000 yuan, with a 2The 4-liter in-line 4-cylinder engine, but this is a bit confusing; Currently, 3350,000 yuan can buy a 3 that is the same as the tank 5000T-V6 twin-turbo engine, and the pre-sale price of the tank 700Hi4-T (plug-in hybrid version) is about 500,000 yuan, and the car is not only a plug-in hybrid car but also uses 30T-V6 engine.
If it's 600,000 yuan, it means that consumers of high-end cars like real high-end cars, and it is almost impossible for Toyota SUVs to shake this price point. In addition, as early as seven years ago, official cars have been banned from buying foreign brand cars, so the purchase of SUVs has also been greatly restricted, and this new Prado has no chance at all.
Do you think this car will continue to sell well?
