Stop production for 6 years and then come back to life! Can fuel be called new energy?

在汽車發展的長河中,總有一些車型,以獨特魅力刻進車迷心裡,豐田銳志便是其中之一。2005年,銳志大張旗鼓進入中國汽車市場,前置後驅的高級佈局,再配上V6發動機,這黃金組合,瞬間點燃了國內消費者對駕駛樂趣的渴望。憑藉出色的運動基因與出色操控,銳志不僅在國內圈粉無數,在全球更是狂賣688萬台,成為豐田旗下一款現象級車型。然而市場風雲變幻,到了2017年,隨著市場風向轉變,銳志也只能無奈停產,退出歷史舞臺。

But recently, there has been news in the automobile circle that Ruizhi is about to resume production, and it is said that it will also be equipped with a 4.0T turbocharged engine. In today's new energy vehicles, this news is like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Everyone is speculating that Ruizhi will make a comeback this time, can it set off the storm of the year again? Personally, I am full of expectations, after all, there are fewer and fewer rear-drive fuel vehicles, and if Ruizhi can successfully resume production, it will be a blessing for car fans.

Judging from the exposed design drawings, the new Ruizhi still continues the classic design language. The fastback shape is matched with simple body lines, and the elegance and dynamism are perfectly integrated. The sharp headlights and honeycomb grille on the front face complement each other, and the recognition is off the charts; The large wheels on the side with a smooth waistline resemble a cheetah ready to hunt; The double-sided exhaust layout at the rear of the car directly highlights the sporty attributes. This exterior design not only retains the charm of the old Ruizhi, but also integrates the current popular elements.

動力部分更是讓人期待,前置後驅佈局在同級車中本就少見,再搭配2.4T渦輪增壓發動機,最大功率預計突破200kW,峰值扭矩或達400N·m,零百加速有望衝進6秒俱樂部。光看這參數,駕駛樂趣肯定拉滿。但在如今這個新能源車稱霸的時代,光有動力可不夠,智慧化也是重要一環。雖說目前智慧化方面細節還未透露,不過參考現款凱美瑞的TNGA架構安全配置,我猜新車大概率會標配全速域自適應巡航、自動泊車等功能。要是再能配上L2級輔助駕駛和智慧車機系統,競爭力肯定大大提升。

But we also have to be sober, now the rapid development of new energy vehicles, Tesla Model 3, BMW i0 and other new energy rear-drive models, in acceleration performance and car cost have inherent advantages, Ruizhi fuel power compared with it, it is indeed a bit of a loss. Therefore, I think that if Toyota can launch a hybrid version, it may be able to find a clever balance between sportiness and energy efficiency, and it will be more suitable for the current market environment.

還有價格方面,網傳預售價在20-25萬元,恰好夾在凱美瑞高配和雷克薩斯ES低配之間,一不小心就可能出現自家兄弟互相競爭的局面。不過要是銳志能憑藉“2.4T+后驅”的獨特優勢,精準定位運動市場區隔,突出差異化,那還是很有機會突出重圍的。畢竟在20萬級燃油車市場,同時滿足大馬力、后驅、溜背設計的車型幾乎沒有,對於那些追求純粹駕駛樂趣的老司機來說,銳志的獨特魅力,或許足以讓他們忽略車機是不是帶魚屏、續航能不能破千公里這些問題。

At a time when SUVs and new energy vehicles dominate the market, Toyota dares to resurrect a fuel rear-drive sedan, which is commendable. But if you want to gain a foothold in this highly competitive market, you can't rely on feelings and "sports beliefs" alone. Only by retaining the essence of driving and actively embracing the trend of intelligence and environmental protection can it become a benchmark model with both feelings and strength, otherwise, even if production resumes, it may be just a flash in the pan.

What do you think of Ruizhi's resumption of production? Do you think it can successfully counterattack in the wave of new energy vehicles? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
