On November 6, the 2022 Beijing Marathon was successfully completed at the Olympic Park. Although this year’s North Malaysia did not invite foreign elite runners to participate, it still attracted tens of thousands of marathon enthusiasts to participate, and the excitement was not reduced at all. Friends familiar with the marathon know that this is a very popular long-distance running event in the world. It requires not only speed but also endurance. Only by combining both can you achieve the desired results.
If marathons test people’s speed and endurance, then long-distance travel tests the comprehensive strength of the car. Especially in today’s high oil prices, a vehicle with excellent fuel economy will definitely save you a lot of car costs and make your long-distance travel a good mood. So, in today’s car market, is there such a "luxury car" with both power and endurance? The answer is yes, it is FAW Toyota Crown Land Rover.
Crown Land is the first SUV after the renewal of the FAW Toyota Crown brand, positioning the flagship seven-seat SUV of static luxury and dynamic. Built on the TNGA-K platform, it is equipped with Toyota’s world-leading new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, which allows it to achieve a perfect balance between strong power and economical fuel consumption, while also bringing a driving experience that is completely comparable to a fuel car.
When it comes to Toyota’s HEV hybrid system, I believe many people have heard the saying that "there are only two kinds of hybrid in the world, one is Toyota and the other is other". Although many people believe that Toyota has only one hybrid system, no matter how the model changes, its essence will not change, but it is because of this essence of "unchanged for ten thousand years" that it has achieved the perfect combination of power and economy.
According to statistics, from the first generation of Prius in 1997 to the present, Toyota’s various electrified models have sold more than 20 million vehicles worldwide, and for 25 years, Toyota’s hybrid Sandian technology has been stable and reliable, and still maintains a record of "0" battery accidents. So, what are the technical advantages of the new generation TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system carried by the Crown Land Display?
Extreme hybrid, efficient and fuel-saving
With the support of the TNGA architecture, the Crown Land Amplifier is equipped with a new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system, which integrates small, lightweight, and high-efficiency technologies, greatly improving fuel economy and power performance. At the same time, it efficiently integrates the engine, motor, and battery to work together, achieving improvements in acceleration response, tranquility, and other aspects, resulting in smooth driving control and a comfortable driving experience.
Among them, the TNGA 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine, through the use of laser cladding valve seat technology, D-4S high-pressure direct injection cylinder, low-pressure manifold injection system composed of hybrid injection system, VVT-iE intelligent electric variable valve timing intake system and other technologies, achieved a world-class 41% thermal efficiency, can provide 141 kW/192 horsepower maximum power and 238 Nm peak torque, at the same time, the front motor can provide 134 kW maximum power and 270 Nm torque output, making the system comprehensive power can reach 183 kW, the power performance of the whole hybrid system is quite outstanding.
And to match it is a new generation of E-CVT continuously variable transmission, the power output is more linear and smoother, bringing surging power while further reducing fuel consumption. According to official data, the crown land-mounted four-wheel drive version has a comprehensive low of 5.8L/100km, and the two-wheel drive version is only 5.3L/100km. This fuel consumption performance is enough to make your car have super endurance like a sweaty BMW on a long journey – "travel thousands of miles a day without going to the gas station".
Of course, the core technology of Toyota’s hybrid is the PSD (Power Split Device) known as the "hybrid artifact". This technology has established Toyota’s dominance in the hybrid field since it was patented in 1997. Compared with other hybrid systems that use the clutch structure for power transmission, the PSD can adjust the different rotational speeds of each component through the precise control of the PCU to achieve infinitely variable speed and power output input. The flexibility of smoothness and transmission is difficult to replace with other hybrid systems.
Quiet and smooth, the driving feeling is comparable to that of a car
In daily driving, this hybrid system provides two driving modes, namely EV (pure electric) and hybrid drive. In the start-up and urban congestion stages, the intelligent hybrid system will take the lead in using electricity to drive the vehicle, that is, EV pure electric mode, resulting in a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
As the vehicle speed increases, when the vehicle enters the economic cruise mode, the hybrid system operating mode is turned on, and the traditional gasoline power is involved at the same time. When the engine runs at high speed, the output energy may be excessive, and the motor in the system can convert the excess energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery, leaving the most fuel-consuming stage to the motor to complete, and the fuel consumption will naturally drop significantly.
When you need some excitement, Crown Land is not stingy with its own power. A total of three electric motors on the front and rear axles work at the same time as the gasoline engine to output maximum power. At this moment, the acceleration of Crown Land is like a sports car, with a continuous stream of linear and powerful power output, which is full of movement.
It is worth mentioning that the Crown Land Displacement uses a new type of E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system. Compared with the traditional four-wheel drive system, the Crown Land Displacement uses a rear axle independent motor for more direct power transmission, and has absolute structural advantages in terms of fuel economy, control accuracy, power distribution range, and space utilization.
In addition, the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system equipped with the Crown Land Rover significantly increases the rear wheel output torque while driving, increasing the rear wheel torque distribution ratio (front and rear torque 100:0~ 20:80), achieving more accurate power output ratio control, allowing users to experience the ultimate driving pleasure.
Of course, in addition to the pleasure of driving, the Crown Land Release also provides users with a comfortable and quiet driving environment. The 5-meter-plus heroic body makes the Crown Land Release have a comfortable and spacious cockpit that exceeds the same level, especially the sliding distance of 180mm in the second row of seats, which allows the second and third rows to have more abundant adjustment space, allowing the Crown Land Release to easily cope with the riding needs of different families.
In terms of tranquility, the front windshield and main and passenger windows of the Crown Land are made of soundproof glass, which greatly reduces the noise transmission during driving. At the same time, polymer vibration-absorbing and sound-absorbing materials are used in many parts of the body to maximize the blocking of noise sources and provide a more quiet driving environment for the occupants in the car. Plus the new generation of Toyota Safety Sense standard in the whole series, Toyota Smart Safety allows you to enjoy a worry-free ride.
Write at the end
In summary, the 2.5L dual-engine hybrid system carried by the Crown Land Range has many advantages over competitors in both power and fuel economy. The blessing of the E-FOUR electronic four-wheel drive allows it to have better handling and high-quality driving texture. Coupled with a quiet driving environment and a spacious and comfortable riding space, it is indeed a high-quality and cost-effective choice worthy of hybrid model consumers.
