Among them, Volkswagen Toure, Volkswagen Toure and Toyota Highlander are benchmark models, which not only meet the above characteristics, but also have good performance in product strength and mechanical quality. But when it comes to buying, it is precisely because they all have strong advantages and represent different factions that many consumers often fall into a dilemma when they finally choose, so today we will compare them from many angles to see who is more suitable for you.
Appearance contrast
The appearance of the blue whale makes it look youthful as a whole. The net is made of chrome, and the biggest change in the appearance of the blue whale is its front. It adopts the latest family style of the public, which is simple, full and full of layers, giving people a feeling of introversion and elegance. The front bumper and wheel eyebrows are blackened around the bottom of the front face of R-line models, and the bottom of the air guide grooves at both ends is connected with the lower grille, which has better effect.
The side lines of the scenery are more rounded, full of atmosphere and similar in style to MPV. Its body contour is full and the details are more cross-border. The length, width and height of the enclosure are 5 152mm, 2002mm and 1795mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2980 mm, so the vehicle is very large.
The enclosed tail also adopts a highly recognizable design style, and the rich level upgrade makes it better echo the front face, which improves the recognition of the whole vehicle. The taillights with suspended design and streamlined body lines make them more high-end and atmospheric.
Appearance, the positioning of the patrol car is a medium-sized SUV, and the front of the patrol car seems to have a strong visual impact. The layered mid-net style enhances the sports vision of the whole vehicle, while the convex ribs and well-defined front enclosure of the hood further highlight the sense of youth and sports. The grille of the front face is divided into three layers, and the layering of the front face is very obvious. IQ-Light headlights are connected to both sides of the top grille, and a penetrating light strip extends all the way to the fender. The icon in the middle can also be lit, and the overall visibility of the front face is still very high.
When coming to the side of the car body, the patrol car is connected with the straight waist line through the straight light belt, and the lines extend all the way to the rear taillights, so that the car body looks smooth and stretched. The windows are blackened and there are smooth chrome trim strips on the upper side, which makes the side of the patrol car more exquisite. The length, width and height of the new car are 4936(4949), 20 15, 1756( 1767, 1772)mm respectively, and the wheelbase reaches 2980 mm The car length close to 5m and the car width over 2m make Tiguan full of atmosphere.
The shape of the rear of the car is also very beautiful, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The upper spoiler protrudes a lot, and the rear glass has a certain inclination, which is not so vertical. The taillights in the middle adopt a penetrating design, which is also a popular element nowadays. The bottom adopts the exhaust layout of bilateral * * * four outlets, which also looks sporty.
From the design point of view, the overall design of Toyota Highlander is still very attractive. The surface of the large trapezoidal air intake grille is decorated with chrome trim, which looks very imposing. The interior is filled with plaid chrome trim. Chrome-plated decorative strips extend from both sides of Toyota logo like wings and directly run through the air intake net. The front lip of the car is decorated with penetrating chrome strips, which has a good sense of exquisiteness. The headlights of the new car still adopt the eagle-eye design, but the size has become more slender and compact, which looks particularly magical.
The side shape of the car body is simple and capable, the irregular waistline design makes the car body more slender, and the lower edge of the window is decorated with slender chrome trim, so the black car body will not be too monotonous. The slightly convex wheels below increase the layering of the side, and cooperate with 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels to show the performance model. The fuselage size is 4965/ 1930/ 1750mm, which is very huge.
Toyota Highlander's rear design is full of atmosphere, and the large rear spoiler integrates dot matrix high-position brake lights. Compared with the fuel version, the tail logo and logo background color have some changes. Slender taillight group, good lighting effect. The LED width indicator above has a certain degree of recognition at night, and the brake light and turn signal are still halogen light sources.
Internal contrast
The interior is also well done. The car is wrapped in a large area of leather, which is full of luxury. The car is equipped with 10.25 inch instrument and 12 inch central control panel, which can control multimedia system, air conditioning system, vehicle setting, navigation and other functions. At the same time, the new Blue Whale is also equipped with excellent decorative pieces and carbon fiber decorative panels, plus a variety of optional soft materials and the car's consistent exquisite craftsmanship, which makes people feel comfortable. In addition, the new multimedia system is also very advanced, with large screen size and full touch, giving people a special experience.
The interior of the tour is similar to that of the tour. It is also equipped with 10.25 inch full LCD instrument and 12 inch floating central control panel. The central control panel is connected with the instrument and inclined to the driver's seat to form a "joint screen", which has a certain scientific and technological atmosphere. In-vehicle system includes voice control, navigation, car networking, CarPlay/ CarLife, remote control, etc.
Toule's top model configuration is still relatively rich. In terms of safety, it is equipped with six airbags, parallel lane assist, lane assist system, active braking, early warning system, front and rear parking radar, 360 panoramic image and other configurations. In terms of control, it also has full-speed adaptive cruise, six driving mode switching, automatic parking and parking, uphill assistance and steep slope descent, and the level of assisted driving has reached L2 level.
Walking into the car, the interior layout of Toyota Highlander is neat, the physical buttons of the center console are very full, and the solid three-position multi-function steering wheel is wrapped in leather, which feels excellent. The middle is equipped with 12, 3-inch touch LCD screen, which supports CarPlay, car networking, OTA upgrade and other functions. The performance of the center console is wrapped in a large number of leather materials, and the overall texture is excellent. However, the intelligence of the car is much worse than that of the same class in China, and the definition of the 360 panoramic image is not good.
Dynamic contrast
Volkswagen Toure and Volkswagen Toure are basically the same in terms of engines. The only difference is that the 2.5T V6 engine did not appear on the tour this time. However, Blue Whale offers two engines: 2.0T high and low power and 2.5tv6 ..
The maximum power of 2.0T engine is 137 kW and 162 kW respectively, and the maximum torque is 320 Nm and 350 Nm respectively. The 2.5T V6 engine has a maximum power of 220kW and a maximum torque of 500 Nm.
Toyota Highlander provides 2.5L and 2.0T power, of which the maximum horsepower of 2.5L engine is 192. Interestingly, on the basis of still using the same 2.5L engine, the maximum output power of the 2023 Highlander model is reduced from 14 1kW to 139kW, and the maximum torque is also reduced from 238N·m, so the maximum comprehensive power of the system is naturally reduced from 183kW to/. The 2.0T engine has a maximum horsepower of 248 horsepower, matching the E-CVT continuously variable transmission and the 8-speed automatic manual transmission. In terms of power, the 2.0T engine is more aggressive to drive, and the 2.5L engine is more fuel efficient.
The official guide prices of the two cars are not much different. Will there be competition between swimming and swimming? I really don't know. Customers who like six seats can buy tours, and customers who only need five big trunks can choose tours. The spacious trunk can also hold more luggage. Of course, the rear seats of the two cars can also hold a lot of luggage, and since there is no 2.5T engine version, if you want more power, you should recommend Toule. Toyota Highlander does have lower fuel consumption because of the hybrid version, but it is worse than the two models of Volkswagen brand in driving texture, so if you care about fuel consumption, then Toyota Highlander is really more suitable for you.
