Green travel begins with a single step. As society’s understanding of the "dual carbon" goal gradually increases, it has become a trend to seek a green and low-carbon way of travel. Among them, hybrid vehicles with more efficient power and lower carbon emissions have become the first choice for most people. Because hybrid models not only have better fuel economy, quietness and smoothness than fuel vehicles, but also have convenience and battery life that pure electric vehicles cannot match.
When it comes to the field of hybrids, it must be the Toyota brand that cannot be avoided. I believe everyone has heard the saying: "There are two kinds of hybrids in the world, one is Toyota, and the other is the other", which is undoubtedly the highest evaluation of Toyota hybrids. And this is the truth. Toyota launched the "G21" project in 1993 to study hybrid power. In 1997, the world’s first mass-produced HEV system "THS" took off, and the "Prius" model was born. So far, nearly 30 years of experience in hybrid technology research and development have already made Toyota a global leader in hybrid technology. Among them, Toyota’s core hybrid technology, PSD (Power Split Device), has undergone many technical iterations during its long development. Now the newly launched Toyota models are equipped with Toyota’s new generation of hybrid technology THS II. For example, the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine 2022 is equipped with Toyota’s world-leading hybrid system, which can provide users with a low-carbon and environmentally friendly travel experience with efficient power performance.
First of all, the hybrid system of FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine is composed of TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine and front and rear dual motors. Among them, the TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine has achieved a world-class 41% thermal efficiency through laser cladding valve seat technology, D-4S high-pressure direct injection, low-pressure manifold injection hybrid injection system, VVT-iE intelligent electric variable valve timing intake system and other technologies. It also has a maximum power of 131 kW, which can be described as achieving an excellent balance between fuel economy and power strength. And to match the engine is the E-CVT gearbox, which uses a miniaturized, lightweight new structure motor, as well as an improved deceleration structure parallel shaft gear, enabling it to present excellent high-efficiency, low-loss performance.
In terms of drive motors, the front drive motor power of the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang dual-engine model is 88 kilowatts, and the maximum power of the rear axle independent drive motor is as high as 40 kilowatts. When working with the engine to drive the vehicle, the maximum output power of the dual-engine system can be as high as 163 kilowatts. While achieving abundant power, it can also achieve a comprehensive fuel consumption of 4.7L for 100 kilometers. Adding 1 tank of fuel can drive continuously for 1000 kilometers, which is rarely matched in the same class of cars.
At the same time, the THS II has undergone many years of iterative optimization, which not only meets the needs of low fuel consumption, but also realizes the excellence of driving texture. For example, in the starting and low-speed driving stages, the power system will mainly rely on the motor to drive, which can bring a smooth, light and quiet driving experience. When acceleration is required, the motor can also make up for the low twist of the engine well, and quickly reach the power speed range. Coupled with the delicate switching of planetary gears, it has both power and smoothness, providing users with a travel experience beyond the past.
Of course, the smooth and efficient green travel experience is just one of the killer points of FAW Toyota’s RAV4 leading the urban SUV market. As the pioneer of urban SUVs, its all-round model strength of off-road and urban is also an important reason why it has entered millions of families around the world. 30 years ago, SUVs were still a symbol of off-road and hardcore, with a single application scenario that could not meet the travel needs of most users. But with the official mass production of Toyota’s first-generation RAV4 in 1994, the interpretation of RAV4 "Recreational Active Vehiclewith 4-wheel drive (four-wheel drive recreational sports vehicle) " and the off-road and urban model concept really made people discover the value of SUV models.
With the birth of the fifth-generation new RAV4 Rongfang, the RAV4 Rongfang family model leapfrogs to a higher level, using the same TNGA-K platform as flagship models such as Asian Dragon and Lexus ES. At the height of the K platform, the product power of RAV4 Rongfang has been comprehensively improved, and it has been further strengthened in product quality, driving texture, technology configuration and other aspects, bringing consumers a different urban SUV experience. Inheriting the genetic advantages of the TNGA-K platform, the RAV4 Rongfang dual engine 2022 also has product value beyond the same level.
Today, the RAV4 is coming with the 2022 "more than yourself", and it is a step further on excellence. The dual-engine model not only has a richer choice of body colors, but also has an improvement in practical configuration.
First of all, in order to meet users’ pursuit of individuality and aesthetics, the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine 2022 model has expanded the range of options for two-color bodies, and provides users with up to 7 monochromes (Moyuan Black, Platinum White, Platinum Bronze Metallic, Titanium Gray, Paris Red, Interstellar Blue, Milan Khaki) to choose from. Among them, Interstellar Blue is a new color scheme. In addition, there are 3 kinds of dual-color (Platinum White/Moyuan Black, Titanium Gray/Moyuan Black, Milan Khaki/Titanium Gray) to make the car life more colorful.
In terms of configuration, the upgrade of RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine 2022 is also very sincere. For example, the new car is upgraded to an automatic folding external rearview mirror on the basis of the original electric folding external rearview mirror of the old model, and a parking radar system is 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.
What’s more worth mentioning is that the FAW Toyota RAV4 Rongfang also provides users who desire hybrid technology with a richer choice. In addition to the dual-engine (HEV hybrid) model mentioned above, FAW Toyota also provides users with the RAV4 Rongfang dual-engine E + (PHEV plug-in hybrid) model. Its drive motor increases by 50% on the basis of the 88 kW dual-engine power to 134 kW, and then mixes the 132 kW drive of the TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine with the 40 kW drive of the rear axle independent drive motor. The 0-100km/h acceleration takes only 7.4 seconds, which is enough to bring users a power experience beyond the same level.
In addition, thanks to the large-capacity lithium-ion battery and the inherent advantages of THS II hybrid technology of small, lightweight and high efficiency, the RAV4 Rongfang Dual Engine E + can achieve a pure electric cruising range of 95 kilometers, which is enough to meet the daily commuting needs of most users for 1-2 days. If the home has convenient charging conditions, the daily urban transportation can be completed by a more efficient and comfortable pure electric drive mode, and enjoy pure electric driving.
Under the 100-year revolution of the electrification of the automobile industry, hybrid technology has become the focus of attention. But when most people talk about hybrid technology, they mostly only emphasize efficient fuel performance. But in fact, Toyota’s hybrid leadership not only realizes the era requirements of low fuel consumption and low carbon emissions, but also satisfies users’ pursuit of driving texture and driving pleasure, and can bring users a comprehensive travel experience beyond traditional fuel models. It is precisely because of this that it has created the reputation of "there are two kinds of hybrid in the world, one is Toyota, and the other is other".
