Asian Lion does not come with CarPlay as standard, but it supports the installation of a CarPlay module. Ways to control CarPlay in the Asian Lion: Siri: You can communicate with the car via Siri, instructing the car on what to do next. You can also hear the system announce messages received on your phone and reply using voice dictation. Touchscreen display: Some CarPlay-supported cars are equipped with a touchscreen display, allowing you to open or close apps on a fairly simple home screen. Physical buttons: The car comes with physical buttons, which is one way to control CarPlay. Controls like volume adjustment and track switching are also integrated. Performance of the Asian Lion: The Asian Lion is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 10-speed continuously variable transmission, delivering a maximum power output of 126 kW.
The Toyota Allion indeed supports CarPlay, a practical feature I frequently use while driving. Specifically, all new Allion models from 2021 onwards come standard with this configuration. Users simply need to connect their iPhone to the car's USB port using the original data cable to mirror their phone screen onto the vehicle's central display. Apple Maps navigation is super convenient, especially with its automatic traffic updates during congestion, while Spotify plays music smoothly. The system also allows voice replies to text messages, enhancing driving safety. I recall that during initial setup, Bluetooth pairing might need to be enabled in the settings, but the process is straightforward. For older Allion models from 2019 or earlier, native CarPlay functionality may not be supported. In such cases, consider upgrading the car's software or installing third-party modules, which some auto accessory shops provide. Overall, CarPlay integration significantly improves the driving experience by reducing smartphone distractions, making it particularly suitable for urban commuting. I consider it an essential element in modern vehicles.
