Among the three compact SUVs in Japan, Honda CR-V ranks first, and Nissan Qijun and Toyota RAV4 are honored at the Dingdang Wharf. Among the three old friends, Honda CR-V has just finished the mid-term redesign, and Nissan Qijun is close to the end of the product life cycle. Therefore, Toyota RAV4 is the latest product among the three.
Toyota RAV4 rongfang's product line is really rich, with two power systems (gasoline version and hybrid power) and three four-wheel drive systems. So, how to choose Toyota RAV4 rongfang?
Choose four-wheel drive: recommend the hybrid version of "Elite PLUS Edition"
Many fans asked how to choose the four-wheel drive of RAV4. Perhaps they are considering the car environment in the northern snow. OK, first of all, it should be noted that the RAV4 is a 2.0L gasoline version and a 2.5L hybrid version, and the four-wheel drive of the two versions is very different. 2.0L four-wheel drive is a traditional timely four-wheel drive system, and Toyota's four-wheel drive system is relatively mature. The problem is that the ability to get rid of difficulties is weak, and Mitsubishi and Nissan systems at the same level are stronger than Toyota's, a lot! Toyota's four-wheel drive system can't even cross the axle!
As for the 2.5L hybrid version of the four-wheel drive, a motor is placed on the front and rear axles, and the power distribution of the whole system is controlled by a computer, so that the left and right power can be transmitted freely, and the skidding wheels are restricted very quickly. Therefore, the four-wheel drive system is quite powerful. In the early days, the 2.5L hybrid four-wheel drive system was applied to Lexus NX. After years of application and upgrade, the system is now quite mature and reliable.
2.5L hybrid four-wheel drive version * * * three configurations, and Xiaobian recommends the "four-wheel drive elite PLUS version" with a guide price of 242,800 yuan. Four-wheel drive version with the lowest elite version is directly excluded. As a car with more than 200,000 yuan, it is too fall in price to be equipped with a plastic steering wheel and fabric seats. As for the elite PLUS version compared with the flagship version, the price difference is 1.6 million yuan, which configuration is mainly missing? Panoramic skylight, roof rack and electric trunk lid with position memory. In addition to the panoramic sunroof, the luggage rack and the electric trunk are added to the auto parts city, which costs 3,000 yuan.
Choose two-wheel drive: recommended gasoline version "Fashion PLUS Edition"
The RAV4 gasoline version is equipped with 2.0L? D-4S direct injection engine with CVT continuously variable gearbox has nothing to do with "sports". The biggest highlight of this engine is that it uses two sets of fuel injection systems. When the engine is at low speed, it uses manifold injection, and with the increase of speed, it changes to direct injection in the cylinder. At high speed, the two sets of fuel injection systems work together. The technology is advanced and the data is brilliant. The power performance at middle and low speed is very brisk, but after all, it is still 2.0L displacement, and the high speed and explosive force are almost meaningless.
As for the hybrid version, the hybrid system is "flexible", which is driven solely by the motor under low load conditions and driven by the engine and the motor under high load conditions. The gasoline engine is also responsible for charging the Ni-MH battery pack to ensure the operation of the motor. In addition, the energy of braking deceleration will be recycled to charge the Ni-MH battery pack. The problem is that whether the engine provides power output or charges the battery, the movement is a bit big, and the sense of exquisiteness is greatly reduced. In this respect, it is not as skilled as Honda's hybrid processing.
From the point of view of economy, it is of course recommended that the 2.0L gasoline version of the two-wheel drive model, with ***4 configurations, is the first to promote the "Fashion PLUS Edition" with a guide price of199,800 yuan. What configurations did the Fashion Edition and the Fashion PLUS Edition mainly check? Leather steering wheel and leather seats, as well as front seat heating, but the difference between the two is only 5000 yuan! You know, it costs about 2000-3000 yuan to install a better set of leather seats for the whole car. A leather steering wheel, a slightly better one should be 300-500 yuan; Do you trust the level of Auto Parts City when the front seats are heated and installed? Maybe "burn" your ass Therefore, the difference of 5,000 yuan is still worth directly choosing "Fashion PLUS Edition".
Say at the end:
Judging from the monthly sales rankings, the new generation of Toyota RAV4 has really come up. In the past, RAV4 Rongfang was always "pressed" by Honda CR-V and Nissan Qijun, and it was always the bottom of the three compact SUVs in Japan. Now, Honda CR-V still ranks first, but RAV4 Rongfang has at least completely defeated Nissan Qijun.
