As early as the beginning of 2019, it was reported that Toyota would launch a medium-sized SUV positioned above the RAV4, and the leaders of FAW Toyota also mentioned to improve the medium-sized SUV lineup. Recently, FAW Toyota released a number of bidding information, including the model code 770b. Wushang city learned from Fuwei Dongyang, the supplier of the project, that its internal name is 770b, which is the hanranda project. However, hanranda has been put into production in GAC Toyota for many years. Referring to the relationship between RAV4 and willanda, FAW Toyota 770b will be the new "brother" model of hanranda, and will be adjusted in appearance design and configuration. 770b will be put into production in Tianjin tnga plant of FAW Toyota, with a planned annual production capacity of 49824. As the bidding information and EIA documents only show the information of 770b hybrid version, it is speculated that FAW Toyota's new medium-sized SUV will only carry hybrid system. As a reference, the overseas version of the new Highlander is built on the ga-k platform under the tnga framework. The interior appearance and chassis have been comprehensively upgraded, and the 3.5L V6 and 2.5L hybrid system are used for power. Due to the emission and displacement problems, the 3.5L V6 power will not be sold in China, while the 2.5L hybrid has been installed on the new RAV4, and it is expected that the same power will be used for the new. After fully introducing the tnga framework in China, we have successfully launched the new /, Yize / c-hr, and new RAV4 / willanda "brother models", ensuring that the two joint ventures have one model in the main market. Previously, GAC Toyota didn't have a compact SUV. Toyota built willanda based on the new RAV4. The two cars are mainly different in design. In the medium-sized SUV market, GAC Toyota has hanlanda, while FAW Toyota is still blank. After the 770b model was put into production, it not only balanced the product distribution of the two joint ventures, but also increased Toyota's share in the field of medium-sized SUV. After all, hanlanda has always been a benchmark product at the same level, and the products based on it will also have excellent product strength. In addition, at present, hanlanda has been in a hot sale state, and some regions even need to increase the price of cars. When FAW Toyota's new SUV goes on the market, it is expected to reduce the price increase. According to the brand-new RAV4 and willanda, the 770b and the brand-new hannanda will only be different in appearance, and the comprehensive similarity between the two vehicles will be very high. In terms of naming, the recently registered trademarks of FAW Toyota include "Luze" and "Lufang". "Ze" and "Fang" have appeared in FAW Toyota's popular models, and it is uncertain which name 770b will be named. At present, the new Highlander has been released. It is expected that the Toyota version of GAC and the Toyota 770b of FAW will be officially released at the end of this year or early next year.
