On the RUTUBE channel of the founder of the “club service” Ilya Sviridov, the Toyota Highlander of Chinese-made appeared. The car was dismantled to demonstrate whether there is a difference with the “global” version for the CIS. It turned out: according to the power structure of the body, hinged elements, chassis and safety, Toyota crossovers are identical, but there are still differences.
Firstly, the Chinese Toyota Highlander does not exist either with the V6 or with a 2.4-liter gasoline turbo engine. A popular option is a 2.0-liter “turbochtot” (248 hp and 380 nm) and an 8-speed automatic. According to the “club service”, the engine is technically close to the 2.4-liter unit from the Land Cruiser Prado (adjusted for the location), and the resource is 250-300 thousand kilometers.
The blogger dismantled the Russian Sollers ST6 and compared it with Toyota Hilux Toyota presented a new car to the owner of Highlander, which traveled 1.6 million kilometers to Toyota for a long time to produce for a long time to produce sports carriers with the internal combustion engine and “mechanics”
Secondly, the Chinese version has a local multimedia system without Russification, but with English support. Thirdly, the approach to applying the sealant is different: the seams are thick, high-quality, but sloppy and clearly applied with hands, and not a robot, as in the version of American production. Paul coverage was released in China: mats and vibration -insulating materials are local.
Otherwise, the Chinese Toyota Highlander does not differ from the “global”: there are two heater and air conditioners, blocks and wiring are identical to the versions for Europe. Now importing cars from the GAC-Toyota plant is more profitable: the option with all-wheel drive and a gasoline unit stands at the “gray” dealers from 6.4 million rubles.
