The current hardcore market is recovering, and Toyota has begun to increase its investment in domestic hardcore models. For example, the new Prado has decisively introduced domestically produced cars to compete head-on with BYD and Great Wall. Among the luxury hardcore, in addition to the Land Cruiser, there is also the Lexus GX. This car can be regarded as a luxury version of the Prado. It is better than the Prado in everything and is naturally more expensive. Fortunately, Toyota has made it clear that Lexus models are not allowed to be sold at a higher price. Even so, there are still Some are high. I believe that with the advancement of domestic hardcore models, Lexus GX will also have more room for diving.
In terms of product strength, although the recent new energy hardcore off-roaders like Meng 917 and Tank 700 are very strong, Lexus GX is not a vegetarian. The appearance can be said in a few words. It basically has a family appearance, with hard-core configurations such as side steps and a rear tow hook. The car has widened wheel eyebrows and front and rear surrounds. The spoiler is very long, and the lines are tough and square, tough but not lost. Her style and appearance are definitely outstanding. The new car is about the same size as the Prado, with a length of 4950 mm and a wheelbase of 2850 mm, which is also similar to the Highlander.
In terms of interior, the new Lexus GX has been quite upgraded. Some of the layout is similar to the Land Rover Defender. The size of the central control screen has been increased to 14 inches, and an electronic gear lever is given that the Prado is reluctant to use. It is also equipped with wireless charging and other accessories. , with higher technological content. The increased size also brings better rear performance. The basic experience is great, but today's hardcore cars are also beginning to pay attention to intelligence. In this regard, the Lexus GX's experience is the same as that of Toyota models, which is relatively outdated and belongs to the level of stupid people. However, intelligence can be achieved OTA, it just depends on whether Toyota pays attention to it.
Looking inside and out, the Lexus GX is indeed wow-worthy from the perspective of a classic fuel vehicle. Although it is not so wow-worthy from the perspective of a new energy vehicle, it can still trigger a lot of touches. What's more, the car's core capability lies in off-road capability, which is stronger than the Prado. It has the same 3.5T twin-turbo engine as the Land Cruiser and a 10AT gearbox, which produces 354 horsepower. It also supports hard-core configurations such as four-wheel drive and three locks. The new car Also supports the new Overtrail off-road package. A plug-in hybrid version is expected to be introduced in the future.
Generally speaking, the Lexus GX is indeed the ideal Prado. Compared with the recent domestic hard-core models, the Prado seems a little out of step with the pace at first glance, but the Lexus GX does not feel outdated at all, and is as capable as a tank in all aspects. 500 and BYD Leopard are compared 5 to 1. The shortcoming is that they are a bit expensive even without a price increase. The overseas equivalent is 460,000, but when imported domestically, it is generally upwards of 800,000. This is also the price of the top-equipped Tank 700 and Warrior 917. New and old hard-core There is no suspense about who will win in the battle between models.
