Static point analysis
The test car is the 2022 2.5L HEV four-wheel drive flagship version, with a guide price of 352,800 yuan, which is really not cheap.

The interior part must be familiar to everyone. The overall material level is quite standard and does not have too many bright spots. The car system has reached the mainstream level, and third-party apps, voice interaction and other functions are covered, but there are still slot points when using it. For example, the success rate of the first two voice interactions after a cold start is low, and the image quality of the reversing image is poor. The plastic buttons on the steering wheel are poorly crafted, like pressing on a piece of plasticine, without the crispness that plastic buttons should have. Overall, the interior is still Toyota’s usual style, simple and simple with a little roughness.
