With the increasing competition of domestic SUV models, major car companies are stepping up their layout of market segments. As the head car company, Toyota has also basically completed the layout, and in the field of compact SUVs, Rongfang and Veranda have performed well. However, it is not difficult to see that in the entry-level compact SUV, Toyota still has a blank space, and can only watch the Volkswagen Tange, Tuyue and Nissan Qashqai and other players encroach on the market. Speaking of Cao Cao Cao, GAC Toyota opened the pre-sale of a new compact SUV Fenglanda earlier, and FAW Toyota Corolla Ruifang, as a sister model, will also open pre-sales this month. Let's take a sneak peek today and see how strong Corolla Reifang really is?
On the outside, Corolla's sharp front face adopts a family-style trapezoidal mouth, and the interior is embellished with black mesh, and the fighting atmosphere is bursting. The headlights are more simple in design and have a higher degree of recognition than other models in the family. There is also a deflector design below, but it is most likely only decorative. Further down is the scratch-resistant front lip, which is very friendly for novices.
Coming to the side, it is not difficult to see that the body of Corolla Ruifang still retains the shadow of the eldest brother Rongfang. The overall line is very tough, and the chrome trim along the upper edge of the window extends all the way behind the D-pillar, which is highly recognizable. The boxy wheel arches and scratch-resistant strips from start to finish make it look a bit tough off-road, but it's just what it looks like.
The tail design of the Corolla Sharp Fang is somewhat mediocre in comparison, but fortunately, the tail light adopts a high flat design, and the overall proportion is very coordinated. The two-color taillights have less of a sense of design, which is difficult to impress people with a deep impression than the angular design of Rongfang, but combined with its own entry-level positioning, it is understandable.
Compared with the tough and domineering appearance, the interior of the Corolla Sharp Can be said to be no highlight. The whole is no different from Corolla, whether it is color collocation or configuration materials are not in line with the level of the new car in 2021, can only use four words of economy and practicality to comfort themselves, who called its name in front of the three words of Corolla. However, in terms of configuration, the Corolla Rebahn provides 7 airbags and a Toyota Intelligent Driving Safety Driver Assistance System including lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, and full-speed adaptive cruise.
In terms of powertrain, the entire series of new cars will use 2.0L engines, the maximum horsepower is 171Ps, the maximum torque is 205N·m, and it is still matched with Toyota's ancestral CVT transmission, it is reported that the hybrid version will be launched in the later stage. For such a compact SUV, such power data is completely enough, and the fuel consumption should have a good performance, which is a good thing for the owner who pursues economical and practical use.
In general, the Corolla Rei amplifier as an entry-level compact SUV, the appearance has a lot of highlights, the interior aspect needs to be improved, the 2640mm wheelbase is only comparable to the little brother Yize, fortunately, the rear roof does not use a sunken design, the practicality has been improved, the pre-price of 145,000 yuan is not much different from Yize, but Yize uses a multi-link rear suspension, and the sharp release is a non-independent rear suspension of the torque beam, so it may not be as good as Yize in terms of handling, how to choose depends on personal needs
