On June 23rd, with the last FAW Toyota Prado rolled off the assembly line, it also indicates that a glorious era has officially come to an end.

I don't think it's necessary to explain too much about such a car. Go north through Shanhaiguan and west through Jiayuguan. On the grassland of Hulunbeier, on the journey of National Highway 3 18, whenever your head changes in one direction, you can definitely see a different Prado.

The suspension of Prado has also become the fourth heavy-duty model of FAW Toyota to stop production after Land Cruiser, Reiz and Crown. Of course, it also has a more familiar and well-known time-honored brand-Toyota Bullying.

# Why do many people say that "loans should be overbearing"?

As an Inner Mongolia native from Northeast China, I have heard from my friends more than once that "loans should be overbearing". The reason is not only because of Prado's horribly high preservation rate, but also because of its atmospheric appearance and its ability to take a bad road, which is often applied to weddings and travel crossing activities as a means of driving to make a living.

Maybe the friends who just connected to the internet in the village are still wondering why this car will be discontinued. Next, let's briefly talk about the reasons: Since the promulgation of the Measures for the Parallel Management of Average Fuel Consumption of Passenger Car Enterprises and New Energy Vehicle Points in 20 17 (hereinafter referred to as "Double Points"), according to the double points of passenger car enterprises in China issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the new energy points of Sichuan FAW Toyota in 20 165438 and 20 19 were -6568. Prado with large displacement had to "face the reality" and make a decision to stop production.

# Prado with considerable sales? Can you do it again in another way?

According to the data, the total sales volume of Prado in 20 19 was 3540 1. Even under the impact of parallel imported models, it can still sell about 2950 vehicles per month on average. As the most influential model of hard-core SUV, Prado's sales have always been the best in its class.

Being able to sell such a result before the production is stopped is enough to show the recognition of this car in the consumer market. This is completely different from the style of Reiz and other models before they stopped production, and then refer to the way Jeep Shepherd naturally aspirated from a large displacement to the current 2.0T turbocharging. This makes people wonder whether Prado will come back to us in another way at some time in the future. After all, this name has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. If you return in another way, you will save a lot of publicity costs. Of course, this is only my personal guess.

# Goodbye, Prado!

I have to admit that in 2003, FAW Toyota officially began to produce the domestic version of Prado models. Until it was discontinued, this car carried many memories of China people. It is an extraordinary hard-core off-road vehicle and the first choice for many consumers to choose a hard-core SUV. The formal suspension of production marks the end of a modern era.

Goodbye, overbearing.

Goodbye, Prado!
