If you want to buy a joint venture brand compact SUV in the price range of 150,000 yuan, you must worry and open, while the fuel consumption can not be too large, Dongfeng Nissan Qashqai is usually not ignored, and now, Nissan Qashqai has ushered in a major rival - Toyota Corolla Sharp.
Toyota Corolla Sharp Fang is a new model just listed in China, and Nissan Qashqai is a veteran, the life cycle of this generation of products has also come to the end, but the monthly sales are still more than 10,000 units, maintaining a good competitiveness. Today we take a look at the strength of the new model Toyota Corolla Sharp, can we seize the market of Nissan Qashqai?
First of all, the author should introduce the basic information of the two models clearly, the 2022 Toyota Corolla Sharp Release (hereinafter referred to as "Sharp Release") pre-priced at 145,000 to 165,000 yuan, a total of three models; the 2022 Nissan Qashqai (hereinafter referred to as "Qashqai") Guidance price is 154,900 to 188,900 yuan, a total of four models, and there are currently about 21,000 yuan in the sales terminal. So the two cars roughly belong to the same price range, and the powertrain is also a 2.0L engine with a CVT gearbox, the body size is not much different, very comparable, let's find more worthy of consumers to buy it through specific comparisons.
In terms of appearance, the sharp middle mesh area is wider, while the front part is thicker and fuller, creating a strong sense of strength and sport, although the body size is not large, but it looks more atmospheric. In contrast, the appearance design of the Qashqai is somewhat ordinary, the front part of the car belongs to a very traditional Nissan family-style front face, and the downward pressure of the front cover can reduce the blind spot in front of the vehicle, but the visual effect will be slightly thin.
On the side of the body, all the sharp wheels are 17 inches, and the Qashqai in addition to the minimum configuration of 17 inches, other configuration models are 18 inches or 19 inches, the visual effect of the Qashqai is better. On the side of the body line, sharp put using a straight design, the rear doors and windows and rear triangle windows area is larger, sitting in the car better vision, will not bring a depressing feeling; Qashqa uses forward swooping side lines, looking more youthful and sporty, but the area of the rear doors and windows has also been affected, sitting in the second row of the line of sight is not as clear as sharp.
The rear part of the car, Sharp Fang or follows the relatively straight design, echoing the side lines, even the shape of the taillights is very restrained, the overall look is somewhat mediocre, but the round, full tail can not find anything wrong. In contrast, the tail of the Qashqai is more dynamic, whether it is the shape of the taillights or the design of the rear tailgate, it is younger and sportier, giving people a compact and powerful feeling.
When viewed from the outside, sharp release gives people a more heavy atmosphere, while the Qashqai is more sporty and belongs to two different styles. However, the author prefers the appearance of sharp release, because the sharp release looks larger and the sense of volume is more sufficient.
In terms of interior, the steering wheel of the sharp release is pure round and looks a bit old-fashioned, while the steering wheel of the Qashqai adopts a flat-bottomed design, and the steering wheel is not easy to touch the legs when getting on and off the car, which is more practical and looks young and sporty. In the center console part, the layout of the sharp release is obviously more reasonable, the central control screen and the air conditioning control button are placed in a relatively high position, in the vehicle driving process, the driver will be more natural when operating these buttons or looking at the navigation, and the central control area of the Qashqai is generally short, the driver needs to deliberately bow his head to operate this part, and it will distract more attention when driving.
Since the wheelbase of the two cars is only 6 mm different, the leg space in the rear row is roughly the same, but it can be seen from the picture that the length of the sharp cushion is obviously shorter than that of the Qashqai, and the support of the thighs will be affected a little, and the Qashqai is better in terms of riding comfort. Both cars have a raised platform in the middle of the rear row, and in the case of three people sitting in the back seat, the middle person's riding experience is not good, and the position of the sharp rear exhaust outlet is closer to the seat, so the middle position is less suitable for riding. Taken together, Qashqai did do better in the back row.
As an SUV, the trunk space is also very important, we can clearly see that the surface of the sharply placed trunk floor has been sunk to make it lower than the lower edge of the trunk opening, which can indeed obtain a larger trunk space, and the vertical height can also be extended, but if the heavy load is lifted, the design of the trunk floor below the trunk opening will be somewhat inconvenient. The free rider's trunk space is more flat when the second row of seats is reclined, making it easier to stack up larger items than sharpening them. In terms of conventional trunk volume, the sharp release is 438L, and the Qashqai is 486L.
In terms of power, both cars use a combination of 2.0L + CVT, and the maximum horsepower and torque of The Sharp Release are greater, and the overall quality of the Sharp Release is also tens of kilograms lighter than that of the Qashqai, so the actual driving experience is more brisk than the Qashqai. In addition, the fuel economy of Ruifang is also better, and on the whole, Ruifang performs better in terms of power.
In terms of configuration, we respectively selected the most popular of the two models, Ruifang is the 2022 2.0L Deluxe Edition, with a pre-price of 155,000 yuan; Qashqai is the 2022 2.0L CVT XV Prem. Deluxe Edition, with a guidance price of 168,800 yuan, and the sales terminal has a discount of about 23,000 yuan. It can be seen through the configuration table that the safety configuration of Ruifang is more perfect than that of Qashqai, and the comfort configuration of Qashqai is better; for example, Ruifang is equipped with adaptive cruise and lane keeping assistance as standard, while Qashqai is not equipped with walking models; but in terms of comfort configuration, Qashqai's walking models have leather seats, main driver electric adjustment, automatic air conditioning, etc., while Ruifang is missing. The two cars have their own advantages in terms of configuration, but the author believes that safety is more important for a car, so it is more recommended to have more safety configurations.
On the whole, Ruifang and Qashqai have their own advantages. Ruifang because it is a new model, so the appearance of the design is more in line with the modern trend, the big mouth type of the net, and the full body will make the whole car look larger than the actual, most people like the atmosphere of the feeling; this generation of Qashqai models have reached the end of the life cycle, so the appearance looks a little old, while the body line design for a compact feeling, so it looks slightly small, so the author thinks that the new design is more worth buying, after all, no one wants to just buy it to become an old model.
Secondly, with more and more vehicles on the road, the road conditions are becoming more and more complex, the safety configuration is particularly important, Rui put in this aspect to do better, although the comfort configuration of the Qashqai is more, but these are the icing on the cake, after all, the basic comfort of rui fang can be satisfied.
Finally, come to the direct factor affecting the purchase - price, because Ruifang is still in the pre-sale stage, so the preferential situation is temporarily unknown, and Qashqai currently has a larger discount, the price of Qashqa has more advantages, but if the later Sharp in the sales terminal also has a good offer, Ruifang will be more worthy of recommendation.
