Needless to say, Toyota's position in the MPV market. If you want to buy a Toyota MPV with a discount in China, it can be said to be news. Today's protagonist, the GAC Toyota Sienna, can be said to have attracted a lot of attention since it was first introduced to the country. Now this car can be purchased at an "affordable price". For the Beijing area where the editor of Fei Lv Auto is located, Senna's appearance rate is indeed getting higher and higher. Facts have proved that Senna was really popular among the Chinese people at that time. Now the sales volume has reached the top three in the MPV sales list, with 6,802 units sold in October, which is more than Odyssey and Alison combined!
After a week of experience, it is certain that in the price range of 300,000-400,000 yuan, the Senna must be the most suitable car for families. Later, Feili Automobile will give you a complete experience of the static and dynamic parts of this car. Today, the editor will bring you the content of the headlight test. This car is also the fifth MPV model in Fei Lv Auto's headlight test column. It is worth mentioning that last week we tested the Trumpchi M8, and this issue's Sina can just be compared with that car. So can Senna, which has a surprising space, bring surprises in terms of lighting?
Model: 2021 2.5L hybrid platinum version (top configuration of 405,800 yuan)
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Lamp type: Array LED Features: Height adjustment, adaptive high and low beams
Car light quotation: Senna's single headlight price is 7,098 yuan. This quotation comes from the after-sales order price of the 4S store, which is the price at which everyone buys a car light. Judging from the price of the car and the specifications of the headlights, the price of the headlights is not expensive (compared to the price of luxury brands), but it is still a bit more expensive than the price of the previous issue of the M8 Grandmaster series, which was around 6,000 yuan. This is also expected, after all, joint ventures are more expensive than independent vehicle spare parts, and this is basically the case for fuel vehicles.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
Personally, I think that the Senna’s headlight set is the best-looking headlight in Toyota’s product line currently. It is officially named lightning-type LED headlight. It is long and narrow and sharp. The light set area is not large but it has everything it should have. This kind of radical headlight shape is rarely seen on MPVs. Of course, this is also the youthful design that Toyota's TNGA architecture wants to convey. The low beam is located on the outside and the high beam is on the inside, each with an independent LED light body. LED daytime running lights run through the entire light group, and the upper and lower lights echo each other.
As for the taillights, they are officially named T-shaped three-dimensional taillights, which are run through by three LED light strips and extend to the side of the car body. They are highly recognizable when lit at night, but the turn signals are still halogen. It is worth mentioning that the lighting in the license plate holder area after the race is very bright and can illuminate the area around the license plate holder very brightly.
The control button for adaptive high and low beams is on the driver's left hand side. The actual experience feels quite satisfactory. The conditions for turning on the high beam are relatively harsh, and it is sensitive to the visible light ahead. Often when the driver needs to use the high beam, the high beam fails to turn on in time. In fact, the threshold can be lowered.
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1Lux
Note: In the actual test of Feiling Auto, when an ordinary candle is lit in a dark room and the human eye is 30cm away from the candle flame, the light intensity experienced is 10Lu
In the aspect of car light irradiation distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum illumination limit, and take the distance value when this brightness is reached, which is the end point of irradiation for the final measured headlight score. 20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
Low beam irradiation distance: The score is good, but the distance on both sides is not balanced enough
The Senna's low beam illumination distance is more than 50 meters, which can give a good result; the distance on the left is 31.2 meters, which is also a normal design, because the light on the left is shining on the opposite lane. If the light is illuminated too far, it will cause damage to oncoming vehicles. cause impact. This is not an unachievable achievement, but a more user-friendly design.
Here is something for new friends: The European standard is used in China. This standard stipulates that the dipped beam on the left side is at a lower angle than the dipped beam on the right side. The purpose is to prevent the oncoming traffic from being affected when driving. From the driver's line of sight, the left side of the headlight is lower than the right side, giving people the illusion that the left side is darker and the right side is brighter. Therefore, in terms of distance, the light on the driver's side does not illuminate as far as the passenger's side, but in fact the brightness is no different. It's a matter of angle!
High beam irradiation distance: sufficient
The Senna's high beam irradiation distance is 98.4 meters, which is very close to the previous Trumpchi M8 (98.6 meters). The high beam distance is sufficient but not ideal. It is worth mentioning that the high beam of the Highlander we tested before The result is 100.1 meters. Based on past test experience, generally speaking, there is still some gap between Toyota models and Lexus in terms of illumination distance. For example, the previous Lexus ES 300h has a high beam of over 130 meters, and its functions are worthy of the luxury brand positioning.
Editor's summary:
Combined with the headlight test experience of previous Toyota models, the lighting performance of the Senna is in line with expectations. Compared with some current independent models and new energy vehicles from new forces, the lighting interaction and configuration are still a bit inferior. Enough is enough. The results for low beam exceeding 50 meters are pretty good, but the gap between the left and right distances is quite obvious, which affects the actual experience. Just like the static experience brought by the Senna, it is definitely a good car from the perspective of its positioning as a family multi-purpose vehicle, but in terms of experience and surprise, this is not its strong point. .
