Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Fenglanda was first launched in January, 2022. As an entry-level compact SUV, with its high practicality, good reputation of 2.0L+CVT power combination and Toyota’s brand influence, the sales volume after listing has been considerable. The launch of the smart electric hybrid twin-engine has further enriched the model camp of Fenglanda and provided consumers with more choices. However, considering that the fuel consumption of the 2.0L+CVT power combination equipped in the fuel version of Flanders is relatively low, consumers may choose smart electric hybrid twin-engine models more for the pursuit of power and driving experience.
