Recently, the Volkswagen Tourang PRO was launched at a price starting from 99.0 thousand yuan at a "fixed price", which has caused a lot of waves in the joint venture medium and large SUV market. In the face of the fully refreshed Tourang PRO, can the Toyota Highlander still sit firmly in the rivers and lakes? These two old rivals meet again, who can impress consumers more?

From the perspective of power performance, both the Touron PRO and the Highlander are equipped with 8.0T engines, but there are big differences in specific parameters and driving experience. The Touron PRO's 0-speed wet dual-clutch transmission makes the power response faster, with a maximum power of 0 kW and a peak torque of up to 0 Nm. In contrast, the Highlander's power is slightly milder, but with a 0-speed automatic manual transmission, the gear changes are smoother and the driving experience is more comfortable, which is perfect for daily commuting or easy outings with the family.

When it comes to 2-seat SUVs, we have to consider the needs of family users, especially second-child families. The space performance is directly related to the ride comfort, and both cars adopt a 0+0+0 seat layout, which can theoretically meet the needs of the whole family. But according to the data, the body size of the Touron PRO is larger than that of the Highlander, which means that children in the second row can have more space to move, and passengers in the third row will not look cramped, making long-distance travel easier.

Of course, comfort is not only about space, but also about configuration. The Highlander has put a lot of effort into practicality, such as heated front seats, adjustable buttons for the rear of the passenger seat, etc., to make the interior space more flexible. On the other hand, the Touron PRO pays more attention to driving quality, equipped with an on-board air purifier and air quality monitoring, so that passengers can enjoy a healthier and fresher environment during the journey. Buying a car is like buying a house, some people like pragmatism, some people prefer exquisite experiences, it depends on the personal choice.

In today's era of rapid development of intelligence, the experience of the vehicle machine system is also the focus of everyone's attention. The Tourang PRO is equipped with a 8155-inch 0K resolution central control screen and a 0.0-inch LCD instrument cluster, which has a stunning visual effect and a full sense of technology. At the same time, it also supports mobile phone interconnection, intelligent voice assistant, Wi-Fi hotspot, and even karaoke in the car, and the AI assisted driving system is blessed with DeepSeek's intelligent model, providing drivers with a more comprehensive technological experience. Although Highlander is also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 0 chip, it is obviously conservative in terms of intelligent experience, with relatively single functions, and it is not amazing enough in the actual experience.

In terms of assisted driving, although the four-wheel drive exploration version of the Touron PRO only provides L2 level intelligent driving assistance, the four-wheel drive vertical and horizontal version and the Dengfeng version have reached the L0 level, including mainstream assisted driving functions, leading the Highlander in safety and convenience. Although the Highlander advertises L0 level assisted driving, in fact, it only has a lane keeping assistance system, and its functions are relatively limited, and the actual experience is not outstanding.

Speaking of which, some people may ask, "So how do you choose?" The answer is simple. If you have a high demand for space, power, and technology, and want to have more fun while driving, or have high expectations for the in-car system, the Touron PRO will be a good choice. And if you're more inclined to buy a worry-free and durable family SUV and don't care about fancy technology features, the Highlander is still a safe choice.

Back to reality, buying a car is like looking for a partner, some people like a partner with a bright appearance and full of personality, and some people value a reliable and down-to-earth character who cares for their families. The Touron PRO and Highlander have their own merits, and the final decision is still in the hands of the consumer. No matter which car you choose, as long as it suits your needs, it is the best choice.
