Saying one thing over and over again may become common sense and will be regarded as truth by many people. Is this really the case? Today we will talk about two models, the Coronal and the Ralink.
Speaking of these two models, most of the friends are aware, think that they are actually the same model, China's Corolla is the North American version of Leiling, it can be said that the two models themselves are sister models, the cost performance is almost the same. But the real situation is not so, today we will talk about FAW Toyota Corolla and GAC Toyota Ralink, let's take a look at these two models in the end like many friends said, almost exactly the same model.
Toyota Corolla's manufacturer guidance price is 109,800 yuan to 159,800 yuan, and the specific configuration we selected is the 2021 1.2T S-CVT Elite PLUS version, and the manufacturer guidance price is 129,900 yuan.
The manufacturer guidance price of Leiling is 113,800 yuan to 152,800 yuan, and the specific configuration we selected is 2022 185T CVT Deluxe Edition, and the manufacturer guidance price is 129,800 yuan. The prices of these two models are highly concentrated, so we can also compare who is more worthy of consumer purchase.
From the perspective of appearance design, the overall shape of Leiling is relatively sporty, and the front face uses tomahawk-style headlights, matching the blackened large mouth net design, with good visual impact. And Leiling's model is a car with double decoration, why do you say so? Because Leiling also has another design, its intake net is connected with the movement surrounding on both sides, which also has a good visual aesthetic.
From the side, the whole car is particularly slender, and it is also very low, equipped with a number of sports wheel designs. In the body data part, the length, width and height of Leiling are 4640/1780/1455mm, and the wheelbase is 2700mm.
At the rear of the model, the rear of the Raling matches the sport tail and the hidden exhaust pipe design. The tail light is the light source of the LED, which presents a relatively slender design feeling. As far as the exterior design of Leiling is concerned, it has a luxury version, but also has a sports version, and the dual-appearance design adapts to more consumers.
FAW Toyota's Corolla is actually more familiar to us, the two sides are eagle-shaped headlight groups, made of chrome trim strips through, and the blackened intake net adopts a horizontal penetration design, with a good sense of hierarchy. In addition, it is also equipped with a sports surround, showing a large C shape.
The side of the Corolla looks more sporty, and it is also equipped with sports wheels and a through-body waistline design, which is also in line with the aesthetics of our Chinese consumers. In the body data section, the Corolla's length, width and height are 4635/1780/145mm, and the wheelbase is 2700mm. The body data of the two models is similar in height, but the captain is still better than The Raling.
The tail of the Corolla is also made of hidden exhaust pipes, and the tail lights on both sides show an L-shaped design and are connected by chrome trims, which looks more simple and atmospheric.
Let's take a look at the interior design of Toyota Raling, its interior is a symmetrical design, the central control part is equipped with a 9-inch suspension screen, and the driving computer screen is a large and small double gun barrel dashboard design, which reflects a good mechanical literacy. The new car matches the "Fengyun Yuexiang" in-vehicle interconnection system, equipped with intelligent voice control vehicles, intelligent interconnection (remote control, emergency road assistance, remote fault diagnosis, Yuexiang parking, etc.), vehicle and home interconnection and so on.
In addition, it is equipped with a multi-functional steering wheel and has a mechanical gear handle, which is more practical and the function distinction is more reasonable. The rear seat is spacious and meets our daily needs. It is worth mentioning that the Leiling model is equipped with PM2.5 filter device and rear air conditioning outlet in the rear, and the sunroof is also equipped, which is stress-free for daily household use.
Looking at the interior design of Corolla, in fact, the interior design of Corolla and the Leiling model are basically the same, and the central control part is also equipped with a 9-inch suspension screen design, with a satellite navigation and positioning system, a voice recognition control system, and a car networking system. However, corolla is not equipped with a USB interface in the rear row, and the Raeling model is equipped instead. In addition, Corolla is equipped with an in-car PM2.5 filter device in the rear row, but unfortunately there is no rear air conditioner outlet, and the degree of care for the rear passengers is obviously better for the Ralink model.
Looking at the safety system, in fact, the safety systems of the two models are very good, they are also derived from Toyota's latest TNGA-K architecture, and they also have a smart safety system, such as it is equipped with a collision avoidance assistance kit, with millimeter wave radar, cameras, etc., real-time monitoring of the state of vehicle driving and things that may affect the safety status of driving.
In fact, the power system of Ralink and Toyota Corolla is relatively similar, taking the Ralink model as an example, equipped with 1.5L naturally aspirated power, 1.2T turbo power and 1.8L plus motor dual engine version, suitable for the vast majority of consumers, covering a more comprehensive range. In fact, Toyota's powertrain has good fuel economy and reliability, so no matter which model you choose, you have your own reasons.
Our Ralink configuration model is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 116 horsepower and a peak torque of 185N·m, which is matched by the CVT's continuously variable transmission, which only requires 92 gauge gasoline. Corolla's powertrain is also consistent, and in the process of test driving Raeling and Corolla, we found that both models were very well tuned, started strongly, and had excellent fuel economy, and their fuel consumption per 100 kilometers was about 5.6L.
Judging from our above introduction, in fact, we can find that the difference between the Leiling model and the Corolla does exist, but it is not obvious. But the real situation is not the case, Leiling this model also matches the front keyless entry system, rear seat ratio reclining function, rear USB interface, LED far and near light headlights, rear air conditioning outlet, these are all Corolla does not have. So we can now conclude that although FAW Toyota Coronala and GAC Toyota Raelink models seem to be the same, and their prices are also close, in fact, both models have advantages and disadvantages. As for the price/performance ratio, who do you think is higher?
