Three rows of domestic sheet SUV

The minivan had acquired citizenship from the first in the North America market. However, soon, a minivan serves as the recognition of "having become domesticated" and SUV began to be brought into the limelight. Lexus RX (the Japan name Harrier) became the active leader. When it was called SUV till then and was only the models which are inferior to comfortable nature for a track base, in スタイリッシュ, appearance greatly won popularity with the obtained comfortable nature by having made based on the platform of a passenger car.

Although the technique of a three-row sheet was common to SUV in U.S. large-sized SUV, it has come to see also by a middle class around from the second half of the 90s. The pioneer is the Dodge デュランゴ. And the model which gave a three-row sheet appeared also in comparatively compact SUV successively.

And also about leading SUV of each company sold in Japan, it asked for about the same utility as a minivan, and the model which has a three-row sheet with this class has appeared here and there. Out ランダー and a crossing load are so and the Van guard was also added there.

The Van guard of new style high rank medium SUV which is the long body version of RAV4. It is the model which the long wheel base specification of RAV4 currently sold in Europe and America was arranged, and was introduced also into Japan.

The crossing load which appeared before the half a year is the model which gave the SUV inner exterior design to the base for the stream which is a minivan. Although it is a difficult car of categorization, I think that "SUV" is most applied.

The pioneer who gave a three-row sheet to crossover SUV of this class is out ランダー for the first time in Japan. It was a world-strategy car, and the history of the run was begun and it was developed in pursuit of the essence as a car.

Comparison verification of the user-friendliness of the 3rd row sheet is carried out at a subject for three sets of the histories of middle class SUV of Japan with a three-row sheet.

It is the long body version which extended the wheel base of RAV4 by 100mm, and sells as "RAV4" in Europe and America. In Japan, naming of the "Van guard" which means a "pioneer" was given.

The style is expressing a strong feeling of advance from side window graphics, the whole silhouette, etc. However, the organic design which attached intonation to the body panel superfluously seems to be a trend of present Europe, and I feel that it is different for a while for it, considering liking of Japanese people.

rough lineup -- an engine -- 3.5L V6 and 2.4L -- direct -- it is two types of 4, and it is alike, respectively and there are five-person riding and seven-person riding. As for a drive system, only 4 WD is. 3. In 5L and 2.4L, tire size and the existence of the colored exaggerated fender serve as difference in appearance.

the concept [ run ] of "having targeted the layer broad from a young man to the senior layer which child-rearing finished" -- 則(ing) -- it is arranged by degree-of-comfort serious consideration rather than RAV4. This platform also puts high-speed cruising in Europe into a view from the first, and is developed, and スタビリティ performance is high so so. Moreover, although there was stiff feeling which suppresses a roll at the time of a cornering in RAV4, it is wiped away with the Van guard. The feeling of fine vibration felt in the backseat of RAV4 has also faded.

About power performance, about 70kg of 車重 differ from RAV4 first. Even if compared with these two sets, it is heavier than a crossing load about 100kg, and comparable as out ランダー, but dissatisfaction in particular does not have 2.4L by the efficient benefit of CVT, either. While distributing the optimal torque to an order ring according to a run situation, equipment of the S-VSC+ active torque control 4WD cooperative control of carrying out cooperative control of power / steering / the brake is advantage.

The exterior of the square SUV taste which made the straight line the keynote is made to wear the diameter tire of a large, and minimum ground clearance is made it at slight height. if three sets are put in order -- appearance -- a cross-country skiing taste -- a color -- it is quite obvious that are hammering out deeply and it is heterogeneous. Some body sizes are small and the impression that how kind, no less than three rows stored the sheet has a crossing load most in this package.

Although the displacement volume can choose 1.8L and 2L, it will be appropriate to choose 2L, considering 車重.

The thing with the center of gravity high compared with a stream is never straining itself for seasoning of a run but as seen. Having a light heart which leads to the stream which pursued the sporty run, it does not become sporty too much, but drive Feer can operate relaxedly. Although リア tends for a while to bound, the place where the whole degree of comfort is finished comfortably is an agreeable impression.

A drive system carries out the lineup also of FF besides 4WD.

About 4WD, fuel consumption is usually held down by FF and "real-time 4WD" of the standby type which transmits torque to a rear wheel if needed [, such as the time of a run on the snow, ] is adopted at the time of a start and acceleration. In the crossing load, the time lag is almost lost to the change of FF and 4WD by having added the one-way cam unit to the dual pump system which tells torque to a rear wheel.

Out ランダー developed as a world-strategy car has larger body size considering a price, and there is an inexpensive feeling. The impression which seldom attached intonation to the body panel, but made the plain thing Yoshi rather. There is also an urbane image.

The run which the new generation platform used for out ランダー brings about is very best, and proud of high comfortable nature, such as a degree of comfort and silence.

It was also effective to have adopted the mono-tube damper as an aluminum roof and リア with the high car of vehicle height, and the high movement performance which suppressed the roll is realized. The comfortable nature of a degree of comfort is also high, and does not give the weight under a spring.

As for a power train, 6 速 CVT is combined with the MIVEC engine of 2.4L. These feelings are also good and CVT brings the natural feeling of acceleration like AT to the engine which demonstrates torque exactly.

It can have an electronic control 4WD system, and the three modes, 2WD, 4WD auto, and 4WD lock, can be properly used according to a use.

Mr. 3 vehicle 3's style. The cross-country skiing taste in which the Van guard is the production of the individuality of the Toyota style, and a crossing load impresses a new challenge of Honda, the impression of the design for everybody which out ランダー felt refreshed. A bad place is seasoning seldom worried, and although each run is all a tall car, it is not likely to be necessary to catch it negatively.

Five-person riding besides seven-person riding is also prepared for the Van guard. Although not escaping from the region of a エマージェンシー sheet cannot deny the 3rd row of seven-person riding and the fact is not fit for daily use including getting-on-and-off nature, either, about amenity, he is the top in these three sets of inside. The side sill is also stopped low.

The 3rd row sheet of a 5:5 division 可倒 type can pull two straps in the luggage area side of the back of a backrest, and can store them under a floor. A backrest also becomes a flat, while a dive down is simply carried out only by pulling the lever of the shoulder and a bearing surface falls. Although it is not a perfect flat, about user-friendliness and loading nature, I think that it is a good place.

If it is made such, the space can be used as a large luggage area. Probably, a user also actually finds it useful. Moreover, this will also mean that it is as heavy as operation of an arrangement cannot be easily performed unless the sheet has achieved right-and-left independence, and the so much firm sheet is equipped. The point that the backdoor serves as a horizontal difference is also characteristic.

the floor of the 2nd row is a flat mostly -- near a center console -- a few -- a swelling -- to some extent . For the first time in size, the floor of a sheet is low and considerably excellent also about the amenity of the 2nd row sheet.

2. The place where 4L vehicles do not serve as lower positioning frankly compared with 3.5L vehicles is also an agreeable impression. Upper specifications like such 3.5L vehicles, such as electric leather sheet specification, are prepared also for 2.4L vehicles. Compared with that there is such specification itself and a comparison vehicle, it is advantage.

By structure of the interior design of the straight line keynote, storage space is also set up abundantly. It seems to be user-friendly. Since a stream calls it a base rather than this hit and SUV, a minivan is impressed. An inner side and outer visual balance are also good.

However, if the 3rd row gets in, are not necessarily so narrow, but it seems to be a setup called the object for emergencies to the last. Although the habitation space near a stream is secured, if the 3rd row sheet is used, a ラゲッジ space will almost be lost. Probably, it will be better for not a setup that it can use ordinarily at any time but the state where the 3rd row was stored to consider a standard.

When the 2nd row and the 3rd row of the ラゲッジ space is pushed down, a utility side, such as installing a board so that the crevice between both seats may become even, is also considered well. It is easy to operate it in a simple arrangement, and easy to use. It can be called the structure [ Hideyasu / as the 3rd row ] used occasionally.

The angle which a rear door opens is large. Although the space made with the 2nd row among the 3rd row is narrow, access nature is not necessarily so bad.

The 2nd row is equipped with a very firm sheet, and the habitation space of the backseat of the 2-3rd row serves as a setup of space with which body size is compensated by the square form.

Instrumental and a waist line are high, each window is set up with some erection, and a driver's seat serves as slightly wonderful feeling. It is only a crossing load in three sets of inside that front seat sidewalk through is made. It gives that it is a minivan derivation vehicle too, and usage actually in character with a minivan can also be done. If there is also storage space this much, it will be enough practically.

As for out ランダー, the lineup of five-person riding and the seven-person riding is mostly carried out at this price. However, it is エマージェンシー specification also in space with the simple sheet of right-and-left one strictly. Usually, if it is shapely settled under the floor of a ラゲッジ space and causes if needed, it can be considered as the space of plus 2 justification. Probably, it will be better to catch foundations with five-person riding.

The capacity of the ラゲッジ space itself is quite large. In the feature, that a tail gate can be divided into an upper and Roa and can be opened will also direct a pleasant time in a leisure scene etc.

The 2nd row can carry out a tongue bull and an order slide by 6:4 division. Although a backseat door is not necessarily opened so greatly, getting-on-and-off nature is not bad by the form of an opening. Habitation space is also actually felt large above by the lower floor. It is not like [ which is called the straight line keynote ], either, and it is correctly faultless, there is no place which showed off 奇, and a favorable impression is borne against the design felt being the same as that of appearance refreshed.

The パドル shift for carrying out manual operation of the CVT in a steering as advantage in comparison with this rival vehicle is mentioned. Operativity and a response are good.

Moreover, the keeping-warm cold-packed function in which the air-conditioner wind was used for the passenger seat upper box is given, or an original item -- the Rockford audio equips the "G" grade standardly -- also shines.

If you plan to use the 3rd row sheet, even when the Van guard is most excellent and uses the 3rd row in space, a little ラゲッジ space can be secured. 。 which should be also structurally divided among a crossing load and out ランダー with the object for emergencies on the contrary This is a talk at the time of carrying out a theme [ the 3rd row sheet ], and does not tell superiority or inferiority as a car. And the interior of a room of a crossing load has composition like a minivan to other two sets being SUV-like.

A price range and 車格 are positioned in the middle of RAV4 and the Harrier in Toyota. Although a price becomes high at these three sets of inside, a high-class feeling is advertized that much and it is visible.

Various equipment is substantial and this price setup has a high inexpensive feeling rather at these contents.

Moreover, although the popular model of the Van guard will serve as 2.4L vehicles too, it will also greatly be an ant to choose 3.5L cars prepared with much trouble.

Moreover, there is also five-person riding specification which can have and use room rather than RAV4. I think that it is individual as it is as more convenient as something to choose seven-person riding for emergency. It is like [ which is thought that the meaning which this car comes out and dared buy RAV4 was lost not much ].

Although it is a derived model of a stream, when glanced, it is finished on the car which is different, so that it is not impressed. And it is a car which differs in effect also from pure SUV for a while. As a result, I think that it is individual with having become a car in which value is impressed rather than he buys a stream. Atmosphere of riding on a "new" vehicle is dwelling in this car.

Although a crossing load is a car with various charm, I think that the greatest point is the exterior design which had forcibleness and casualness well.

In a price range, body size, a style, run performance, a utility, etc. and all the sides, it is a very reasonable car, and there is also a relatively cheap feeling.

The handling excellent in オンロード is shown, and it becomes comfortable move space, and bad road running-the-whole-distance nature also has remarkable ability. And although it carries a full load of the charm of SUV, the user who changed from the passenger car also thinks that the place which can get used without expectation ること is also good.
In out ランダー, since the user-friendliness of the 3rd row sheet of seven-person riding is restrained, if it cannot hardly use, it will not be bad to be businesslike from the start and to choose five-person riding, either.

Moreover, please also observe the place which can choose out ランダー of upper specification now by the 3L V6 engine-loading model having been added recently.
