3 Japanese crossover that I dream about more than RAV4!
Many new crossovers appear on the world market, I personally like Japanese ones more, so I chose 3 crossovers that may appear recently in the future, I want to see them with us, I don't really like RAV4. Let's see what we can expect.
Toyota Venza
Remember recently they sold Toyota Venza? Large cross wagon. We kept it from 2012 to 2015, it was sold in the world from 2008 to 2017, and then disappeared. Duck, now a new generation of Venza is coming out for the States, where it will be a clone of the Toyota Harrier, which received an update in Japan a month ago.
Whether the new Venza will come to us is not yet clear, the fact is that now it is a hybrid. In the American series of Toyota, it will take a place between the RAV4 and the Highlander, in other matters, as it was with us. In addition, Venza was made on the same GA-K platform.
In America, Venza will be with a non-alternative hybrid on all-wheel drive. A 2.5 liter atmospheric engine works in conjunction with an electric one, plus an electromechanical variator, the power will be 222 horsepower.
From the equipment will be a fully electronic climate system, a panoramic roof with electrochromic dimming with a button.
Instead of a rear mirror display, etc. Personally, I like the new Venza more than let's say RAV4, so I would be glad if she came to the market in the near future.
Honda Breeze
Another Japanese clone appeared in China, the Honda Breeze is the twin brother of our CR-V in technical terms, only with a different appearance, in my opinion more attractive.
Perhaps the next update of our CR-B will make it the same, i.e. we can get the same cool CR-B. For the Chinese, everything is the best, this is understandable, there are many times more of them than us and they have the richest economy in the world, which is why crossovers are more attractive to them.
As in our CR-B, the Chinese Breeze will have a 1.5 liter engine with a power of 193 horsepower with a variator in the base. The top version will be made with a hybrid, yes, in China, new technologies are being promoted to the fullest while we drive Ladas.
In terms of equipment, everything is standard in Honda Breeze, there is adaptive cruise control, all-round video review, blind spot and parking sensors, etc.
The salon is almost the same as ours, the only thing is a virtual tidy and more expensive trim. In general, I want us to have the same Honda CR-V.
Honda Advance
Another cool new product for the Chinese market from Honda, the updated Honda Avancier. The coupe-shaped crossover has slightly changed in appearance, the bumpers and the front part have been changed.
The interior has changed even more, with a new multimedia display, a different dashboard design and richer trim.
In the Chinese market, Avancier is the flagship, its length is 4850 mm, while the Japanese is a 5-seater crossover.
I think that lately it would be quite useful, firstly, coupe-shaped crossovers are popular with us, and secondly, our Honda Pilot is a 7-seater and even larger in size.
The engines here are 1.5 liters with a capacity of 190 forces with a CVT, and a turbo 2.0 liters with a capacity of 270 forces with 9 automatic transmissions, plus an optional all-wheel drive. Personally, I like both the interior and exterior of this crossover, so I will be glad if sometime in the future they want to bring it to us.
