Speaking of Corolla, everyone's impression must be quite profound, and the classic family car represents "fuel saving", "worry-free" and "value preservation". But what if I said that the first party I attended today was "Corolla Sharp Release"? How many officials remembered his Lushan face.
Corolla Ruifang, as early as the 2021 Guangzhou Auto Show has been unveiled, as the younger brother of the "put" character, but the relationship with Corolla is closer, originating from the same Toyota TNGA-C platform to create.
Appearance: tough and steady, is the way to be at home
Although the name is Corolla Ruifang, but in appearance, you can see a miniature version of Rongfang, the front face of the large mouth intake grille and Rongfang's style is similar, forming a family unity, quite tough off-road feeling. The interior of the grille adopts a dot matrix layout, and the thick and thin design adds a sense of refinement to the front face. It is worth noting that the upper half of the front grille is closed, and only the lower half is transparent.
The headlamp is slender and extends almost above the front brow, making the front face design look like a lot of work. High-end models use LED headlights. The entry-level model adopts a halogen light source and lens design due to the cost control.
To the side, the Corolla Sharp Is equipped with a black kit, the overall gives people a tough aura, in the low end of the A column and the top of the D column through some details of the design to enhance the sense of fashion, the high-end model also supports the keyless entry function, in addition to the new car will be equipped with 17-inch wheels. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width and height of 4460/1825/1620mm, and a wheelbase of 2640mm, which is between Yize and Rongfang.
In the rear part of the car, the tail light shape is similar to the headlight shape, the slender design visually increases the lateral width of the tail, the light group is equipped with aerodynamic device on the outside, and the logo "COROLLA CROSS" is also on the inside. The black bumper and lower guard plate shape at the bottom also add a lot of color to the whole vehicle.
Inside the car, a strong and familiar smell of Corolla comes over you, almost identical to the current Corolla interior design. 10,000 years of black edge touching 9-inch LCD touch screen, boot time, image quality, sliding feel and voice interaction commands these aspects, that is, people have me, enough to use, but also can not give everyone too much joy.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with the same 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine of AsiaTics, with a maximum power of 126 kilowatts (171 hp), and the drivetrain is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission.
Combined with its front McPherson independent suspension and the chassis structure of the rear torque beam non-independent suspension, the Corolla Sharp Release is more inclined to the daily driving use of the family, which is easy to use.
Market positioning: is it a contradiction or a willow
Facing the upcoming listing, what is the status of Corolla Rebbe? I believe that it is a big problem that many car buyers are concerned about. Because in the layout of Yifeng's SUV, we also see that Rav4 Rongfang, Lu Fang and Ling Fang have successively exerted their strength, and the market share of 200,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan has been occupied. But only at the level of 10+ million yuan, FAW Toyota only has one model, Yize, and Yize has a little lack of freshness for consumers, and there is not enough space.
To continue to occupy a certain share of the market at this level, it is obviously necessary to inject fresh blood, and at this moment, the Corolla Rebuffer came into being. This can also form a "two-on-one" advantage against other opponents outside 10+ yuan.
From the interior to the outside comparison, the main competitors of the Corolla Release Honda Binzhi and XR-V, Nissan Qashqai, in contrast, both in terms of configuration and spatial performance, the Corolla Relung is also superior, and has a clear advantage in the same level.
However, compared with the 10+ million yuan level of independent brand SUV models, in terms of configuration and cost performance, Corolla Ruifang is more with the help of Toyota's brand image and durable reputation to compete for consumers.
Finally, a prediction, recently learned from relevant channels, the Corolla Release will be listed on January 22, 2022, according to the price of the sister models that have been listed, the corolla Relfang with a relatively high configuration point, the price may be between 129,800-16.98 yuan.
