Toyota, which sells well all over the world, also has many consumers in China. Familiar sentences such as "Toyota that can't be broken" also confirm the trust of domestic consumers in the Toyota brand. In recent years, under the prevailing environment of the "two-vehicle strategy", "North and South Toyota" has launched sister models such as Corolla and Ralink, RAV4 and Veranda, Yaris and Vios respectively. Unsurprisingly, these models have a dominant position in their respective market segments, but the market recognition of several sister models is still somewhat different. This also shows to some extent that although the same Toyota brand, there are also quality differences between north and south Toyota products.
So, is FAW Toyota better or GAC Toyota better? In this issue, we will combine the complaint index data of Automen.com to compare and analyze the product quality of the two hot models of Raling and Corolla.
Judging from the complaint index in the first 11 months of this year, the Leiling complaint index under GAC Toyota reached 1306.4, ranking first in the complaint list. Of course, this is also directly related to The huge market ownership of Leiling. FAW Toyota's Corolla Complaint Index is 995.3, ranking 3rd on the list, and the ranking is also high. As the ace model in the compact car segment, the huge ownership volume has made Ralink and Corolla rank in the top three of the complaint list for many years. But what cannot be ignored is that the high complaint index also represents the widespread product quality problems of Leiling and Corolla that make car owners dissatisfied.

It is not difficult to see from the figure that Leiling's complaint index at almost all levels is higher than That of Corolla. It is worth mentioning the suspension of The Front and Rear Bridges of Leiling, and the complaint index is nearly five times that of Corolla.
It should be noted that as of December 2021, The cumulative sales of Ralink in 2021 will be 147134 vehicles, and the cumulative sales of Corolla in 2021 will be 220096 vehicles. The number of ownership is much higher than that of The Corolla of Raling, but the complaint index is lower than that of Raling. This partly shows that Corolla's quality performance is stronger than Rayling's.

Corolla's most concentrated transmission problem accounted for 35.3%, slightly higher than Raling.

Unlike Corolla, There are problems with Raling's front and rear bridges and suspensions. The proportion of complaints about the problem of Leiling is almost the same as that of the core component engine, reaching more than 15%. It is also the main level of Leiling that has been complained about a lot, which is worth noting.

The main problem with the 185T CVT version of The Raling's gearbox is the 185T CVT version, and the Corolla's is the 1.2T S-CVT version.
