A few days ago, Corolla Release was officially listed, with a guiding price of 129,800-16.98 million yuan, a total of five models, based on the TNGA-C platform, positioned as a compact SUV, with practicality, space and cost performance as the goal.
FAW Toyota Corolla Sharp Release and GAC Toyota Feng landa are sister models to each other, and they are also another masterpiece of Toyota's sister models, compared with the price of 125,800-16.98 million yuan of the feng landa, there are certain details.
In fact, the prototype of both cars is the Corolla Cross, which will be launched overseas in mid-2021, which is a brand new model of Toyota, and although the name is "Corolla" is used, it is not actually raised by Corolla.
From the perspective of product positioning, The Corolla Ruifang positions between Yize and RAV4, plus Lingfang, forming a compact SUV three musketeers, mainly attacking users at different levels in the middle and low ends. In contrast, Yi ze and Corolla Ruifang are more closely related, one is a city transportation model that focuses on personality and fashion, and the other is a practical family car.
In terms of appearance, compared with Yize, Corolla Sharp Is more in line with the public aesthetic, the visual effect will be more atmospheric, and the large size of the grille and the lower half of the plastic material strengthen the cross-border taste of the vehicle.
The length, width and height of the Corolla Sharp are 4460/1825/1620mm, the wheelbase is 2640mm, the wheelbase is the same as Yize, and the length, width and height are slightly larger than Yize.
The tail shape is also based on moderation, and the lateral headlights can enhance the lateral visual effect of some vehicles at the rear, while the bottom is also wrapped in plastic to prevent scratching.
However, the two cars are not completely consistent, Yi Ze uses the rear multi-link independent suspension, while the Corolla sharp dunk Lanta uses torsion beam suspension for spatial performance.
The appearance of the Corolla Sharp Fang is inclined to practical design, the interior is even more so, the overall design is similar to the Corolla, the suspension instrument plus the three-spoke steering wheel, everything is so familiar.
The central screen integrates almost all the functions of the vehicle, including intelligent car machines, navigation, panoramic images, etc., while the air-conditioning area is the same as the Corolla, using physical buttons + knob control, and with PM2.5 filtering function, which is particularly useful in the north.
The gear handle is still similar to the Corolla, with electronic handbrake and AutoHold function, with the automatic start and stop of the overall use of the feeling is relatively smooth, there will not be too many setbacks.
The space part is also the selling point of Corolla Sharp, the overall shape of Corolla Sharp is more moderate, the window line is more straight, so the overall riding experience of the rear row is much better than Yi Ze, and it is a qualitative improvement in terms of openness. At the same time, because the use of traditional SUV shape is not a coupe SUV shape, the head space in the rear row is also released.
After the professor experienced at the Guangzhou Auto Show, it was obvious that the back space of The Corolla's sharp release performed much better, but the length of the rear seat cushions personally thought that it could be lengthened, and the support for the thighs would be better.
If compared with Honda Binzhi, although Corona is sharply ahead in terms of body size, the two are similar in terms of actual space experience, and it will not be said that there will be a significant gap in space due to the increase in vehicle size.
Like the Fenglanda, the Corolla Rebbe is equipped with a combination of 2.0L + CVT as standard, rather than the 1.2T or 1.5L three-cylinder power on the Corolla, which is on the same level as Yi Ze, which is very thick at present, and even consistent with the entry-level RAV4 Rongfang.
Pictured above is the Yize 2.0L engine
Compared with the 1.5L self-priming engine of the same level of Binzhi, the advantage of 2.0L in displacement must not be ignored. It is reported that the Corolla Release will also launch a hybrid version in the future, which will go further in the performance of NVH and the overall driving experience, of course, the price will also rise.
The opponents corolla replay faces are the best in the same level, one is the Nissan Qashqai, with excellent reputation, good space performance and cost performance, even if it has been listed for many years, it still sells more than 10,000 per month, which can be seen that its strength is not bad.
Binzhi and XR-V are also one of the opponents of Corolla Ruifang, but from the current point of view, the two cars in the market terminal discount is larger, basically the main model is around 100,000 yuan, Corolla Ruifang and they have not formed a direct competitive relationship, but Binzhi and XR-V are about to usher in a replacement, then I believe that it will be with Corolla Sharp point to Mai Mang.
The Corolla Rebahn currently has only three configurations, and is also from the TNGA architecture, which comes with 7 airbags as standard, including front knee airbags, L2 driver assistance, tire pressure display, full-speed domain adaptive cruise, panoramic sunroof, multi-function steering wheel, 9-inch center display, OTA upgrade, rear exhaust air outlet, etc.
It can be seen that the standard configuration of the Corolla Rebbe will be safety and practical equipment, on the contrary, the comfort configuration such as the leather steering wheel and the leather seat will only be equipped with high-end models, which is also consistent with the practical positioning of the Corolla Rebahn
Purely from the perspective of cost performance, the medium-sized model will be more worthy of recommendation. First, the price of the medium-equipped model in the car series is moderate, and the second is that the overall configuration will be mainly practical, such as LED headlights, keyless entry, reversing image and other functions are difficult to install later, and it is also recommended to choose the configuration of the original components.
The above is only calculated according to the amount of the market loan, and the current purchase of Corolla Rebbe can also enjoy:
1. 60% down payment, 0 interest rate for 24 periods, 40% down payment, preferential interest rate for 0 interest rates for 12 periods.
2. Low interest for up to 5 years, minimum down payment to 20%.
3. Replacement subsidy of up to 3,000 yuan
4. Oil package worth 2500 yuan
The positioning of the Corolla Relex is very clear, the main practical, space, while there is a 2.0L + CVT this high-spec engine configuration, coupled with a wealth of driver assistance configuration and Toyota word of mouth blessing, as well as a starting price of 129,800, the Corolla Release is relatively good.
However, the Corolla sharp release is not without shortcomings, one is that the interior does not have a gap with the Corolla, and the other is that the rear suspension uses the form of a torque beam, and its comfort will be slightly inferior to that of the multi-link suspension at the mechanical level, of course, this is also the vehicle's compromise on space.
