With full firepower, the crown landing can be as simple as more than a ＂crown＂ logo.

At the Chengdu Auto Show some time ago, there was an endless stream of people on the booth of FAW Toyota. And the focus of everyone’s attention, naturally, is the newly listed Crown Lu Fang. Many people are both familiar and unfamiliar with Crown Car. The familiarity is because Crown has a history of 66 years, while the strangeness is the first SUV launched as an independent brand. So the popularity of Crown Lu Fang is only due to the logo? What are the advantages of Crown Lu Fang compared with similar cars? This time, let’s have a good talk.

Domineering appearance, inheriting the luxury essence of Crown family.

Today, with the emergence of small SUVs and compact SUVs, why do consumers spend more budget to start with more expensive luxury SUVs? The reason is actually very simple: the design is more luxurious and the experience is higher.

Crown Lu Fang locates the quiet luxury and dynamic flagship seven-seat SUV. Its Chinese name "Lu" is easily associated with a land cruiser, so we can see the flagship positioning of this car. From the appearance, Crown Lu Fang gives people a confident posture of the king. The large-area black horizontal grille on the front face broadens the visual width, and it is more sporty than the traditional design with highly recognizable LEDs on both sides.

Secondly, in order to reflect its special identity, this car also hangs a highly recognizable crown logo. This design not only retains the imprint of the Crown car, but also better demonstrates the noble temperament of the owner. In addition, a lower grille with a low posture is created, and with the black fangs on both sides, the movement is once again vivid, which is in line with the aesthetics of this generation of young people. After all, who doesn’t love a sports car?

Like Toyota’s traditional SUV, Crown Lu Fang has also made great efforts in the application of lines and surfaces. The smooth waistline extends from the front fender to the rear, and with the cooperation of the body over 5 meters, the whole body presents an atmosphere of awe-inspiring. In contrast, the tail design is quite satisfactory, and the slender taillight shape echoes the headlight group, and once again echoes the movement of the front face design with the exhaust pipe with a total of one side and two outlets below.

Comfortable interior, a sense of spaciousness and a sense of technology.

For Crown Lu Fang, the domineering appearance does not affect the comfort of riding in the car at all. When getting into the car, Crown Lu Fang adopts the design style of TNGA architecture. The asymmetric center console and stepped layout not only increase the three-dimensional sense, but also stretch the lateral visual width of the car through straight lines. In addition, the accessible areas such as the central control and side door panels are covered with soft materials, and the overall workmanship is also very solid.

In detail, the steering wheel is wrapped in leather, with a large diameter but delicate feel. After adding the unique LOGO of the Crown family, it well reflects the difference between this car and other cars. In addition, the air conditioning control area retains physical buttons, and the small LCD screen in the middle and the knobs on both sides can display the temperature, which looks very delicate.

Crown Lu Fang adopts the design of dual 12.3-inch multimedia navigation system and full LCD instrument panel. With the HUD head-up display system, the feeling of three-screen interaction is very scientific and technological. In addition, for high-profile models, configurations such as face recognition function, PVM panoramic monitoring system, panoramic sunroof and intelligent voice interaction system are not absent, which is also the driving atmosphere pursued by consumers pursuing high-quality SUVs.

Since it is positioned as a luxury SUV, the configuration must be mentioned. Crown Lu Fang comes standard with a new generation of Toyota Safety Sense, which includes PCS collision prevention, DRCC dynamic radar cruise, LTA lane tracking assistance and AHB automatic high beam adjustment. Among them, DRCC dynamic radar cruise can realize car-following control in the full speed range of 0-180km/h, and the safety of vehicle driving has also been greatly improved.

Super hybrid, power and control have their own strengths.

What we talked about earlier is the static experience. Let’s focus on the dynamic control of this car. The whole system of Crown Lu Fang comes standard with Toyota’s new-generation TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system. The TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine equipped with it has a maximum power of 141kW and a maximum torque of 238N·m, and its thermal efficiency reaches 41% leading in the industry, which can achieve both high output, high efficiency and low power consumption.

It should be noted that, like all hybrid vehicles, the Crown Lu Fang was mainly driven by electric motor in the initial stage, so at the beginning of the start, the car not only had strong acceleration, but also had remarkable quietness. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed, this engine with high thermal efficiency can be involved in the work. Thanks to the precise cooperation between the two, the whole vehicle can also show better acceleration performance.

As a 7-seat SUV, the importance of dynamic response and driving texture can not be ignored. In addition to the common three driving modes of SPORT, NORM and ECO, Crown Lu Fang also has EV pure electric mode and TRAIL low-speed extrication mode, so this car can easily cover most daily driving scenes.

There is another detail to be said on the driving level, that is, the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system of this car. Because this set of E-FOUR electronic control four-wheel drive can realize the automatic distribution of front and rear axle torque of 100:0~20:80, the car has excellent tracking performance and is very confident to drive whether the vehicle is in a straight line or a curved road. Moreover, Crown Lu Fang is equipped with a powerful AIM four-wheel drive integrated management system, which can balance and control various driving control configurations of vehicles according to different road surfaces and driving conditions, based on TRAIL mode and different driving modes, so as to achieve superior handling stability and driving comfort.

Conclusion:

How does a car perform? The heat of the market is the best answer.

Although Crown Lu Fang has just been listed, its popularity can be seen. Based on the previous introduction, it is not difficult to see that the dynamic and domineering appearance, rich technology configuration and dynamic driving experience with high performance and low fuel consumption all explain the "luxury character" of Crown brand and Crown Lu Fang in details.

What is certain is that Crown Lu Fang can basically meet the car demand of the mainstream social elites through the characteristics of the product itself and the inheritance of the Crown quality. Therefore, the best-selling Crown Lu Fang is more than just a "Crown" logo!
