SUV models can be said to be one of the most popular models in China, with spacious interior space, wide driving vision, and flexible storage space, which can meet the various needs of family travel. However, with the increasingly fierce competition in the SUV market, more and more car brands are targeting Chinese users’ love for space and pursuit of rich configuration, and the research and development direction of SUV models has become more and more single, so that the huge SUV model market is highly homogeneous and lacks innovation. And the mindless stacking of space and configuration has also caused most domestic models to deviate from the original intention of SUV versatility.
When it comes to the original intention of SUV models, one has to mention the founder of SUV models that are popular around the world – Toyota RAV4. 30 years ago, SUVs were still the representative of hardcore off-road vehicles, focusing more on the passing of unpaved roads in the suburbs. In 1994, when the first generation of RAV4 models met with the majority of users, the concept of off-road and urban models opened people’s eyes. Good urban road handling performance, rich configuration to meet daily transportation comfort, and good off-road capabilities almost redefined the connotation of SUV models, which is what we call urban SUVs.
As the pioneer of urban SUVs, the first generation of RAV4 has set off a boom in the global SUV market since its launch, and has always led the development trend in this field in the nearly 30-year model history. In 2018-2021, RAV4 ushered in the highlight moment of the world’s largest SUV cumulative sales. In 2018, it also won the most fuel-efficient SUV in "CONSUMER REPORT", the top ten interiors of Ward in 2019, the 2019-2020 CAR OF THE YEAR JAPAN Model of the Year Award, and the highest rating in E-NCAP and IIHS tests. Today, the RAV4 has further advanced the charm of the 2022 model, through three major upgrades: "Wild Upgrade", "Color Upgrade", and "Configuration Upgrade", inheriting the off-road model concept of taking into account the city, and further bringing SUV users in large cities, which is different from other models and surpasses the previous colorful travel experience.
The kit has more wild charm next to the body
Fans who follow the RAV4 Rongfang must be deeply impressed by the arrival of the fifth-generation RAV4 Rongfang in 2019, that is, the new RAV4 Rongfang. Its platform architecture has been upgraded to the same TNGA-K platform as flagship models such as the Asian Dragon and Lexus ES. Under such a reborn innovation, the strength of the model has not only leapt in an all-round way, but also the body design has more sharp lines, outlining a strong hardcore off-road style, adding a bit of wild charm to the domestic SUV market, which has been widely praised by users. Today, the RAV4 Rongfang 2022 model has leapfrogged the excellence of the new RAV4, first of all, to cater to users’ preferences for hardcore style, and further highlights the wild charm of its off-road attributes in appearance and interior.
The RAV4 Rongfang 2022 model adds an off-road appearance kit for the 2.0L four-wheel drive version, including a more three-dimensional front/rear bumper guard, increased width and non-metallic wheel eyebrows with square texture design in its central part, as well as a more textured new dark gray wheel hub paint and a cool black exterior mirror cover.
The redesigned front and rear bumper guards change the original inward concave shape to a square three-dimensional shape that protrudes outward, which has great visual impact. And the sharper lines and corners make the RAV4 Rongfang 2022 model further strengthen the hardcore atmosphere on the original basis. In order to meet users’ demands for a hardcore off-road feel, the RAV4 Rongfang 2022 non-metallic wheel eyebrows have increased the width on the basis of the original design, making it more visually robust and powerful. At the same time, a square texture design is added to the middle part of the wheel eyebrows, which enhances the roughness of the model and also has exquisite design details, which is enough to highlight the user’s ultimate taste.
In addition, the new car also adds non-metallic door trim, which not only enhances the sense of stiffness, but also protects the body from the impact of sand and gravel branches in harsh road environments. At the same time, the RAV4 Rongfang 2022 has launched a new dark gray wheel hub paint, which is more delicate than the previous smoked black paint. With the addition of the new cool black exterior rearview mirror, it can create a more advanced visual sense, atmospheric dynamic, and better reflect the user’s exquisite taste.
You know, RAV4 Rongfang was awarded Ward’s Top Ten Interiors in 2019, not only because of its better ride experience, but also because of its interior atmosphere, which is more wild and charming under the off-road style atmosphere. Now, RAV4 Rongfang 2022 has been upgraded again on the basis of the top ten interiors. The newly added off-road style high-end seat adopts a visually more off-road atmosphere and a more textured high-end fur material in the contact with the human body, and is embellished with diamond-shaped suture texture to make the off-road atmosphere of the interior more intense. At the same time, in terms of details, the new car interior dashboard, armrest box, and door guard stitches are all made of more wild and personalized colors, highlighting the interior texture while allowing you to feel the off-road atmosphere the moment you open the door.
Configuration improvement More human care
Although under the concept of off-road and urban models, the wild charm and off-road performance of RAV4 Rongfang are huge advantages that far exceed the competitors at the same level, the technological configuration required for daily transportation in the city has never been ignored. This time, FAW Toyota started with user requests, and on the basis of the old model, the practical configuration of the model has also been upgraded.
For example, on the basis of the original electric folding exterior rearview mirror of the old model, the new car has been upgraded to an automatic folding exterior rearview mirror, and a parking radar system has been added to some models. The improved configuration can provide more convenience for daily travel. In addition, the new car also adds a kick sensing function on the basis of the original electric tailgate configuration, which highlights the sense of technology and allows more users to experience the charm of technological configuration.
All-round genes are more fun to drive
The all-round strength of RAV4 Rongfang is not only derived from the inheritance of the concept of urban SUV models in the past 30 years, but also from the technical strength shown after the iteration of generation models. Whether it is the combination of power and fuel consumption of the TNGA 2.0L DYNAMIC FORCE engine, the expedition endurance of the TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system (THS ⅱ) with a tank of fuel for 1,000 kilometers, or the three rare four-wheel drive systems of the same class, the all-round strength of the city SUV is vividly displayed.
Of course, good driving control texture not only comes from the surging and efficient power, but also the control experience brought by the vehicle architecture and suspension system is particularly important. Under the blessing of the TNGA-K platform, RAV4 Rongfang has a GOA body, of which high steel, lightweight body, using hot stamped rigid, the highest 1.18 quadrillion Pa high-strength steel plate and aluminum application, while achieving high steel and lightweight, laying a good foundation for its superior control experience, and also to a certain extent to improve the passive safety of the vehicle.
